[ Good evening, Wonderland! Jessica's super perky and giggly. There's so much for her to be happy about! So now everyone gets to witness her trying to be a vlogger, because she is pointedly ignoring anything involving someone's dumb supernatural call out post. ]

There's so much romance floatin' around, I swear, and it's not even Valentine's Day. Not that I've ever known what it's like to be with someone 'round then, but whatever. [ She waves that off. ] People're gettin' married, it's sweater weather and time for cuddlin'... [ She sighs happily. ] It got me wantin' to read somethin' warm and happy for once.

[ She needed something to distract her from her burning desire for vengeance, okay? ]

But okay, so, I just started this series I've always being dyin' to read. Like, it didn't even occur to me that I could do it here! And now I can and it's so good.

[ Jessica's clutching the first book of said mystery series in her hands, the top of it just barely visible on screen. It's like she had to hug it a little to make her point. This shit's the best thing since sliced bread! ]

I know not everybody's from the same world, but somebody's bound to know about it, right? And I bet at least one person's read it, 'cause it's so popular. Like, it's a movie!

[ And so, the lion finally reveals to the lambs what book she means... ]

So, anybody read Twilight? I wanna talk with you all about it!

[ Yes. She is dead serious. ]

I may be exaggerating the plot a little.

[ Maybe. But not by much. ]

And uh - okay, so, curious. What do you relate to in that book, exactly? Everybody takes different meaning from books.

Well, like. [ She smiles sadly. ] I know what it's like to not wanna hurt someone when you know you can't help it. So you try and avoid 'em, even if it makes your chest feel like it's gonna rip open.

I, uh. [ She takes a breath. Not gonna cry, not gonna cry, not gonna cry. ] Wasn't as lucky as Edward and Bella.

[ ...oh. Oh, wow. Okay. She gets it now, and her eyes widen a little, but at the same time, she's kind of sad for this girl now. ]

Oh...God, I'm sorry. That's - well. There's always - I mean, maybe there's a chance here? With...someone?

[ Wow, she's not helping at all, is she. ]

[alsoagirl]

[ Surprisingly, she can't help letting out some quiet laughter. ] You don't gotta feel bad for me. It's fine. I kinda did it all to myself, really.

But I dunno. Maybe? [ She grimaces. ] I got no fuckin' clue what I'm doin', though. Boys are confusin'.

[ And God, it so does not help that they're supernatural on top of it all. ]

[geekorthodox]

You did it to yourself? Really? [ She definitely sounds skeptical, like she thinks she might be way too hard on herself right now. ]

I'm with you on the boys being confusing part, though. And they're pretty stupid most of the time. Every once in a while, when you least expect it, you find a good one.
