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.]

...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.

Doesn't it get confusing, naming a city after royalty?o
