Rodiak — Roleplayer Guild

"James, do you think it is wise that this tour is starting now that Matthew left the group just months before if even started?" The reporter was a woman looked like she was in her mid thirties. She wore black jeans and a white button up with a red blazer over it. Her glasses rested snuggly on the bridge of her nose as she stared up at the small stage were Southern Thunder sat on small couches. James, the target of her question, was wearing black jeans, a red flannel and his usual leather jacket with matching boots. His hair looked like he had just woken up and the sun glasses inside the building told the reporter that he was very hungover. 

James looked over to the reported, tilted his head to the side. He remembered that face. She was one of the few reporters that followed their little band ever since their start when they released their hit single. She was also one of the few that didn't like to focus on the gossip involving the band. "Do I think it's wise?" He had raised the microphone to his lips as his other fingers tapped on his knee. "You know, we had planned on a tour even before the spotlight hit us. Matthew left us just after out single was released, which gave us plenty of time to think it through. Of course, Diamond and Christina were still up to it and they helped me come to the decision that it was still our responsibility to the fans and to those who supported us. Besides, we found Sean just weeks after." 

The woman seem satisfied with the answer so she simply nodded and sat back down on her seat. A few more questions erupted from the crowd but a man managed to get hold of the mic. "James, do you feel confident with Sean? It is said that Matthew left the band due to creativity differences and the constant arguments. Seeing as Sean is very close to your style and personality, do you think this new member will be easier to work with or will there be some sort of conflict with both of you trying to fit the same role?"

James chuckled into the mic and shook his head, though he did take his time to think over his answer. "Sean had been working with us for months now and he is now an official member to out band. He helped us record most of our latest album so there is no trouble between the two of us. We do have similar creativity visions so I would like to say that we will be working together without much trouble." He scratched his cheek and glanced over at Sean. "As for the role -- I'm assuming of this 'bad boy' role many fans put me in -- I am not worried. We both are our own separate people with separate interest and ideas."

"Oh please, we all know James will always be the OG bad boy in Southern Thunder." Diamond chipped in with a roll of her eyes, making the crowd of reporters chuckle. "While I brought the band together, James was the one who put an image on us. Sure, like, we all have our different styles," she motioned to the pastel pink dress and studded boots she wore, "but like, he will always be the OG bad boy." 

"To be fair, I never really wanted to be that." James cut in with a small laugh. 

The same reported cut in before anyone could say anything. "What about you, Sean? What do you have to say about this? Many fans are worried that the band will not be the same with you in it." A few murmurs rose from the crowd as they looked at Sean for an answer. 

Next to James, Diamond rolled her eyes again. She didn't understand why these people were so fixated on making gossip and conflict were there was none. Sure, James had the image of a bad boy and dressed as one but that guy was the biggest teddy bear anyone would ever meet. Even if she had said James would always be the original bad boy of the band, she had no problem with Sean. It had been her and Christina that had introduced Sean to James when Matthew left, and these people didn't get that. All they wanted was gossip.
