That was my first experience with what most of you consider to be modern. I...I had fun while I was there, but it was admittedly a little difficult at times when those men with cameras would appear. What are they called? Papa-something.

[Cameras were actually pretty rad until that happened. Now she's unsure how she feels about them. Rude, rude paparazzi.]

I was just wondering though, is it normal for something like that to happen?

[myresponsibility]

Paparazzi? Sure, if you're famous.

[breathoflight]

And that's considered acceptable?

[myresponsibility]

Yeah, I guess. Most people really don't like them though.

[breathoflight]

I can't say as though I have much sympathy for them after this port.

[myresponsibility]

Most people don't.

Why were they going after you?

[tolaywaste]

They were really rude.

[HUFF.]

[breathoflight]

They were. I don't understand how anyone could possibly live under that much scrutiny in their day-to-day...

[She thought it was rough in court. Jeeeeesus.]

[tolaywaste]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to live like that.

[breathoflight]

I'm grateful that you were there to help me. I don't think I'd have managed nearly half as well as I did without you.

Thank you.

[tolaywaste]

No problem. Happy to glare at losers with cameras for you any day of the week.

[intelligently]

Well, you have a kingdom. [ She's half teasing there ]

[breathoflight]

Most of the commonfolk do not know my face.

[intelligently]

And I'd guess that the people here didn't even know you.

[breathoflight]

They have stories of me, but they are not entirely accurate.

[intelligently]

Stories usually aren't. What do they say?

[notdreaming]

I saw a few people with cameras, but mostly they looked like families. Did they give you a lot of trouble?

[breathoflight]

Alex was able to keep most of them away after a while, but it was rather difficult to even walk down the street.

[notdreaming]

Oh, wow. I've never seen anything like that. You must look like a celebrity or something.

[breathoflight]

I apparently did share a face with someone from that world. They were quite interested in her romantic interests than anything else.

[notdreaming]

[ Sharing a face. Kara frowns, but she remembers reading something about that in the pamphlet she got from Chromie. ]

I do think that happens sometimes. She must have some political standing or outstanding qualities for them to care so much about her romantic interests. [ Celebrities are famous because of their merits right ]

[landfall]

People think that if they know you, they have a right to your life. And if you're famous, they think they know you. Ergo.

[breathoflight]

Those that are famous truly have my sympathy. I do not believe I could live under that much scrutiny even when doing something as simple as walking around a city.

[landfall]

Those people pretty much know what they're getting into.

[breathoflight]

That does not make the actions of the men with their cameras any less deplorable.

[landfall]

No, they're pretty sad people. But the celebrities have enough money to hire security to beat the crap out of them, sometimes.
