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.]

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

[voice]

[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.

[voice]

[dissonates]

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

MJ? What would you prefer to be called?

[voice]

[spiderphile.livejournal.com]

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.

[voice]

[dissonates]

I see.

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

[voice]

[spiderphile.livejournal.com]

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.]

[voice]

[dissonates]

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

[voice]

[spiderphile.livejournal.com]

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

[voice]

[dissonates]

[....Oh. Whoops.]

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

[voice]

[spiderphile.livejournal.com]

[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.

[voice]

[dissonates]

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

[voice]

[spiderphile.livejournal.com]

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

[voice]

[dissonates]

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