Summary
Jean asks for a favor. Neil finds himself at the center of a territorial squabble. It's him. He's the territory.
“But why me?”
“You are my only good option. Aaron is straight. Andrew is rabid. Allison and Seth are on and off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Dan and Matt are a couple and getting them both to agree to pretend to date me would be harder. Renee doesn’t like men. Katelyn is lovely but Aaron would be angry. I don’t know which of the others started or stopped dating over the summer. That leaves you."
“What about Kevin?”
Jean scoffs. “You cannot be serious.”
“He’s…” What is Kevin? Not any better at telling Riko ‘no’ than Jean is, and, subsequently, probably not great at lying to him. Also, is it really believable that Kevin would jeopardize the team and their athletic careers by shitting where he eats? Probably not. Kevin’s amended hierarchy of needs just has the word EXY at the base. Somewhere far above that are pedestrian concerns like ‘food’ and ‘water’ and ‘shelter.’
“Taller,” Neil finishes lamely. “He’s taller.”

Summary
Like Bosacius said, most of the tweets are full of praise for Barbatos; how kind he is, how sweet, how charming. Which, of course, makes sense. After all, if—and that’s a very large if—he had subconsciously been based on Venti, then it was inevitable that he would ensnare their hearts so easily. Of course, everyone would like Barbatos, adore him even—
Wait.
Abruptly, Xiao shoots into a sitting position. He snatches the phone into his hands, eyes narrowed. They scan the screen once. Twice. Three times. The offending tweet mocks him.
“Who the hell is ‘windbornebard’?”
In which Xiao unintentionally bases a dating sim love interest on his crush, makes a series of dubious decisions, and gets entangled in Twitter drama.
