It has come to my attention that someone has been spreading lies about me. I would appreciate it if anyone can reveal their identity to me- I will… not forget the efforts of any informers.

Don’t believe this slander. This maniac doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

EDIT: My name is Jane of the Volturi guard, for the uninformed.

That's all.

. . . I haven't heard anything about you, but I don't actually know who you are in the first place.

[hurtjustalittle]

I am Jane of the Volturi guard.

[a_gentle_boy]

I guess I haven't heard anything about you, then. What's the Volturi guard?

[hurtjustalittle]

Well... that's good. Perhaps he lied, after all.

A Volturi guard protects the peace where I come from.

[a_gentle_boy]

Protects the peace? Was something wrong?

[hurtjustalittle]

Sometimes, miscreants break the laws my Masters set down. We end them.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . . . . .

What kinds of laws are you talking about?

[hurtjustalittle]

That information is classified.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . There were laws where I came from, too. Support the Pigmask army or get your house struck by lightning. I'm hoping this isn't the kind of law you mean.

[hurtjustalittle]

Pigmask.

Of course not.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . OK. Guess I'll take your word for it.

So what were the rumors being spread about you?

[hurtjustalittle]

I was accused of being something ridiculous.

[a_gentle_boy]

Something ridiculous? A criminal, maybe? I don't think you should pay any attention to that sort of thing. They probably just wanted to get a rise out of you.

[hurtjustalittle]

Their lies could be dangerous.

[a_gentle_boy]

I think they only hurt if you let it get to you. Other people can think what they want. But you know the truth.

[hurtjustalittle]

False accusations of being something ridiculous have almost killed me in the past.
