How're you enjoying New York Comic Con?
Jessica: It's really good! I love it!
How've the fans been treating you so far?

Have you explored and checked any booths out?
Jessica: No... I haven't seen any booths, haha.
You were cosplaying for Blizzard recently at Gamescom. Are you planning on working with any other gaming companies? That is, that you're allowed to talk about?

What're you looking forward to for 2017?
Jessica: Oh my gosh... I want more heroes in Overwatch. I want more champs in League. And I want... Oh my gosh... Another expansion from WoW! Like, that's all I want. Easy! I'm a simple girl. That's all I need!
You just recently hit a million subscribers on YouTube. Other than the video that you put out - which was amazing, by the way - how ecstatic are you about that?
Jessica: It's amazing, oh my god! It's so funny because it actually happened because of some YouTube drama. Like Scarce shared me and because of Scarce I went over so I was like.. "That's weird... OK..." But yeah, it was weird but I liked it. It was fun!
Do you have any last words?
Jessica: I love you, Dignitas!
