[ 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. ]

[ Jessica laughs a bit and glances away. As if she needed a reminder of nearly killing someone being a factor of the ruination of a relationship... ]

Yeah, I--I see how that could mess things up for you.

[ When she's looking back, she's slumping. Just a little. ] Is it weird I'm kinda jealous, though? Bet it's so cool to have someone to be, like, totally obsessed with you.

[ What? That'd be amazing! All this evidence to the contrary won't convince her otherwise. ]

[powerofmabel]

It depends on if you like them back... If, say, a member of Sev'ral Timez was totally obsessed with me? I'd totally be down for that. But Gideon was... sooo not like that. I'd like the people obsessed with me to be cool about it.

[She has only learned so much in gravity falls. but, hey all girls wanna feel wanted, so long as they're wanted by people who aren't giant creeps.]

[ The mention of what sounds like a band perks her back up. She's always looking for new music, and Mabel seems like the type who'd for sure know some good music. ]

Is that, like, a band? [ Then, in an awed whisper: ] A boy band?

[powerofmabel]

The best boy band.... Kinda. I mean some of the magic got kinda lost when I found out they're all clones, but they're really talented clones.

[alsoagirl]

[ Jessica squints for a while. She's vaguely heard of clones. Something about a sheep? Hmm.

Oh, well! Doesn't seem like something that'd be an issue. ]

I'd love to hear 'em! We can swap some favorites and everything! Like, have you ever heard the Backstreet Boys? They're the best!

[ She sighs dreamily. ] Nick's my favorite.

[ Someday, she'll work her way out of the 90s when it came to boy bands. Someday. ]

[powerofmabel]

Never. [She makes a girlish sound.] Okay, we totally have to have a sleepover and trade age-inappropriate romance novels and listen to boy bands and braid each other's hair. D'you how starved I've been for this? All the girls close to my age I know here aren't really the screaming over boys type. I've got a lot of screams building inside of me, Jessica.
