"Oh, of course I do," Grace nodded, wiping her eye again. She'd mostly gained her composure and seemed calmed.
Grace blinked at Julean, then at his phone, squinting at his face before recognition lit her yellow eyes up. She smiled faintly, and nodded.
"Oh! Yes! You were dating Tia, I remember that. You were very cute."
She considered Julian's offer and bit her lip, glancing again at Charlotte, who was watching her with a slightly off putting intensity.
"...Maybe anonymously. If we could change my voice... and made it seem fake, so only people that already kne about supers would believe it," she twirled her hair, frowning, " I do not want anyone to get hurt, or in trouble."

Julean had been waiting for that spark of recognition, and when he saw it, he perked up in a physical manifestation of his ballooning ego.
Then, Grace said Her Name.
Getting impaled by a stick had been less painful than the sudden, intrusive memory of his ex-girlfriend and the BETRAYAL that'd resulted in their split. For a moment, his eyes went wide and shone wetly.
Then, Julean dramatically whirled around. He put his fist against his mouth and inhaled sharply. If he played up the camp, they wouldn't know how much he actually cared.
"We're still friends," he lied. "I talk to her every week. She always asks for my advice on career stuff, you know."
It took a moment to crush down the bad feels and compose himself, but once he did, Julean turned around with a hopeful smile.
"I can make you sound like anything. Spongebob. Cartman. Hatsune Miku. Just tell me where and when, Queen. Now and here probably aren't best, but if you're free next Wednesday, I can arrange a private room at the Serenade Club."
He glanced at Charlotte.
"You want to get in on this Interview with a Bigfoot plan? What questions should we ask sweet Grace?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow at Julean's theatrics, putting her hands on her hips. She had no room to judge, she'd been told she was 'weird' and 'creepy', sometimes the finer points escaped her when acting like a normal person unaware of THE TRUTH of the REAL WORLD. Someone needed to tell him the camera was off.
Grace, however, seemed to buy that they were still friends. She clasped her hands together and her shy smile grew.
"Oh good. I am so happy to hear that. I love her work," She looked a bit more relaxed, "I would be willing to do an interview there."
Charlotte's eyes flashed from Grace to Julean.
"Of course. I'd like to ask about how you stay hidden, what life is like for you living in a human society. What you want, how you feel about your situation. Your diet and anything special you must do. You must have a unique perspective on life."
Grace looked thoughtful, then gave a hesitant nod.

"I'll tell her that you're a fan," Julean promised Grace, relaxing. She'd bought his act; his humiliation could remain buried. Then, motivated by a lingering spark of discomfort and guilt for her tears, he blurted out, "I bet she'd like to meet you someday!"
Why? Why did he have to say that? Tia didn't even talk to him.
"You know. When she's, uh, free."
Thankfully, Charlotte's list of questions provided an easy diversion.
"I'm going to give you my number," Julean said, holding up his phone. "The personal one. Only friends and Cherished Julean VIPs have it. Now, you're in my inner circle, girlie. Get hyped. But forreal. Let's set a date for the interview. Me and Charlotte will treat you like a queen in exchange for your info."
All in all, considering that they'd encountered a bigfoot on day one, it'd been a good mission. He had to thank Marceline for the tip about Spiderweb. Wonder where she'd learned about the little weirdo.
