Akhul was walking around outside for whatever reason, just wandering the parking lot outside the WVBA. Why, who the hell knows?
While wandering in circles for no damn reason, they spot Joe, who was headed towards the building. Akhul, the dumbass, decided to go bother the man.
"Why hello there, Glass Joe. I have some amazing news to tell you, like you won't even believe it!!" Akhul said, or yapped in this sense. The frenchman looked at them, somewhat intrigued on what they had to say, "Oui, you do?" Akhul gave him a smug look, putting their hands on their hips, looking very proud of themselves "Sure do! It's some crazy news too." They tilted their head down slightly, looking up at him "ready to hear it?"
He stood there for a moment and looked around for a moment. He finally looked back at them, giving them a slight nod "Je suppose (I guess)." With that being said, Akhul gave him one final smirk "Cool, get ready!"
They cleared their throat, preparing him for the news. Their facial expression changed from smug to ominous and creepy almost instantly. "France isn't real, Joe."
"...Q-quoi?" He was very confused, and a little unsettled by the sudden mood change too. "It isn't real Joe. It's not real. They made it up." They continued to just stare at him. "But... It is real! I'm FROM France!" He argued, still looking quite unnerved by the situation.
"No. It's not, Joe. You need to get over it. France isn't real." He stared at them for a moment. He felt very nervous and unsettled by the whole thing. Of course it's real, it has to be. Otherwise, where did he come from? "Well... if France isn't real.. Then where did I come from? Peux-tu me dire ça (Can you tell me that)?" He crossed his arms, looking more sure of himself that France is a real country.
"You didn't, Joe."
"What do you mean I didn't?"
"You're not real, Joe."
He just stood there completely baffled by this information. He was speechless. He just looked down and stared at his hands. He wasn't real?
"Being French isn't real, Joe. It's just a phase. Now watch yourself phase."
He fucking faded away because French people and France isn't real
