video | Do I dazzle you?

[ 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. ]

[ Thankfully Mikan explained, because she was getting the blankest of stares. ]

Ooh, whoa! Neat! I didn't know they made that kind!

[ Granted, she also didn't think Japan had much in the form of comic books, but she's at least smart enough to not show her ignorance for once. ]

I thought it was s'posed to only be for superheroes and stuff!

[naughty_nurse]

Oh, no, they have all kinds! Romance , horror, comedy... if it's a genre, there's a manga that has it. My favorite ones are about ordinary high-school girls who wind up falling in love with the cool boys...

[Sigh~]

[alsoagirl]

[ You'd think she just hit the lottery, how happy she looks. It's a miracle she's not squeaking in delight. ]

I could see what normal high school girls are like?!

[ She'd honestly wanted more of that in Twilight. The idea of going to school without parents breathing down her neck and learning from other people and having normal friends...God, it was an amazing world to dip her toes in.

And now there were comic books with it? Holy shit, the outside world was amazing. ]

God, I wanna move to Japan...

[naughty_nurse]

I could try to get some from my closet for you, if you want? They'll be bootleg versions, but it might be close enough...?

[book club for romantic losers!]

[alsoagirl]

[ She's bouncing with excitement so much, her device flops off the pillows she had it propped on. Whoops.

With a sheepish laugh, she puts it back in place. ]

Uh, yeah. Totally! Anything'll be good! You're obviously from the coolest country ever! I wanna see everything you got!

[ In short, future weeb alert! ]

[naughty_nurse]

[Help, this is to cute. Mikan smiles, genuinely feeling happy, which is so rare these days.]

Hee... heehee! Of course! I'll get you all kinds of stuff! Whatever you want!

[alsoagirl]

I'm gonna be so lookin' forward to it!

...Just, uh, not too soon. [ She holds up Twilight. ] I still got three more books to get through, and I feel like more than one person might try and spoil me at some point.

[ Namely Seth. ]

[naughty_nurse]

Oh, of course. I can wait... time is something we all have here.

[In a weird wobbly sort of way, but you get the idea.]

[alsoagirl]

Ain't that the truth? Guess it's good for me to get used to it, though. Lord knows I'm gonna have plenty of it waitin' for me, no matter what happens.

[ It's a strange, scary, but also sort of thrilling thought. ]

See you 'round soon, then.
