[Totally locked from Bob for future lulz.]

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I'm Asch.

[.....Does he have to explain more?]

...Guy mentioned me the other day.

[More?]

...Don't feel obligated to talk to me just because he asked.

[Maybe that was too much.]

....I'll try to be friendly if you do, though.

[Wait that came out wrong.]

....Right.

[That should do it.]

Don't doubt yourself! I'm sure you're very popular in some world somewhere.

I can just hear the Asch fanclubs right now... [she giggles] But in all seriousness, if you're a minor character, then I'd be the doomed love interest. We'd be married for thirty years... and then we'd horribly break up because we need to reset time or something stupid like that.

...What? Doomed love interest? [SO CONFUSED.]

Doomed love interest. I've never been able to keep a boyfriend for very long... but really? It's nothing big.

It'll happen when it happens.

...At least you're able to keep a good attitude about it.

[nervously laughs] Oh? Yeah, I suppose so!

But we were talking about how you don't need to keep doubting yourself. It's probably not my place since I don't know your story, but Asch? It seems like you're a sweet person. Don't let things get to you that much.

Hm. [He doubts what you say there, bb. :|]

...Someone like you shouldn't be left behind by anyone.

It's not like that. I... oh, how do I put it? I liked a guy, but he didn't like me back. And when I decide to go out with my best friend, he turns out to be single again... Long story short, it's complicated.

That... does sound complicated. [And familiar. But he is useless with advice.] Sorry I can't help.

Oh, don't worry about it! No one from my world's here, so it's kinda like I get to start all over again.

And who knows? Maybe it'll be better this time.

...Hm. [Asch is impressed by your optimism, MJ. :|b] It's unusual for people to have such a good attitude about their situation.

[Some of that's probably false. ._. Once an actress, always an actress.] It helps that I just broke up with my boyfriend before coming here... and I made up with my crush, so you know. There's no hard feelings back home.

[Asch isn't too great at reading people over the journal, so he's easy to fool. :c] ...It's probably better to go back and clear things up completely, though. Otherwise you're left with regrets.

That's true... but I honestly think I'll be fine. They're both sweet guys and understand what's going on.

How'd we get to talking about me, anyhow? I thought we were going to list the million ways Asch is being an amazing friend. Like, for example... right now.

[Oh god noooooo.] W-we can talk about you, too. It's not all about me.

[Take it like the man we know you are! ... or something.] Yeah, but it makes me feel like I'm being a conversation hog. If you really want me to, I guess I can start spilling the beans.

Oh! I never gave you my name. I'm Mary Jane Watson, but everyone calls me MJ.

[R-right.] 'Spilling the beans'?

MJ? What would you prefer to be called?

It's a phrase in my world that means "telling the truth." [yes, you can hear the air quotes.] Kinda like... I'm not gonna hold anything back?

Doesn't matter to me! Mary Jane sounds stuffy in my world, but you can pick.

I see.

...I'll call you MJ, then.

Works for me.

... You know, you're quite the conversationalist when you want to be. I would've never guessed! [she's making it really easy to tell she's teasing, but uh... feel free to not notice, Asch.]

...you don't have to say it like that. [Asch has an epic fail tease-o-meter.]

Remind me to never take you to a comedy club. Jeez, Asch. It was only a joke!

[....Oh. Whoops.]

I'm not... very good with jokes. Sorry.

[It's fine! At least she's laughing.] Gotcha... I'll try and remember that in the future.

Sorry, I keep forgetting I'm not in Queens anymore.

[Not good with apologies, either, so let's just move past that issue now.] 'Queens' is where you're from?

Yep! It's one of the many cities in my home world.
