Logan happens to be passing by and takes stock of the ears and tail.

He doesn't laugh as he sits down at a nearby table. Logan is very sensitive to those with unfortunate mutations. So that's not laughing, just a bit of smirking and a snort that might be misconstrued as a chuckle.

He doesn't see his mutations as unfortunate. In fact, he likes them, even if they're impossible to hide.

"Everything okay there?" he asks with a grin, and takes a sip of beer.

That's good, because if there's one thing that bugs Logan it's someone who whines.

"Fine. What'cha readin'?" He's seen the magazines and wonders if they're articles from his world.

"Some guy can't handle the idea of women in power, so he's spreading nasty rumors about my fiancée," he says. "They're so wrong, they're more funny than anything else. But I don't know if she'd see it that way."

They don't have tabloids in the City. Mostly because the Strangers made sure no one kept their memories long enough to gossip.

So we hope that John can be excused for staring a bit at the covers while they're being read.

They're the usual sort of tabloids, with lurid headlines proclaiming the latest scandals. Hollywood affairs and breakups, celebrity drug addictions and stints in rehab, and (in the copy of Politics Now! that he is currently reading) all sorts of mayhem on the campaign trail, just like the celebrity gossip only more extreme.

"...god," he mutters. "Not the naked pictures again."

With the mishmash of mid-30's through early 50's sensibilities programmed into him, John is understandably shocked at the nature of the claims just on the front cover.

"They let you read that out in the open?" he splutters.

"Oh, yeah," he says, glancing up. "Why wouldn't they? In a lot of places they look at you funny if you've got something more 'serious' to read. I wouldn't take a proper book out in public--what would people think?"
