[ this is Mary Jane Watson. it's pretty lateish at night and she's laying on a bed in a tanktop and sweats, hair pulled back. there's a book open before her and she's tapping a pencil against her bottom lip when she speaks up. ]

Hi, everyone. It's -- uh -- it's MJ again and I promise I won't start screaming or freaking out over this. I just have a question.

Like, I understand the major gist of this place, right? The Darkness and the Core, the big Two and so on, but... can you guys talk to me about your powers? The ones you have or the ones that were given to you. [ she pauses, twirling her pencil around her fingers ]

Just anything about them. I'm curious.

[ there's a beat, as she considers saying more and then: ]

Well, thanks.

Why are you so pessimistic about this?

video

[harriedosborn]

I don't know.

video

[jackpots]

Oh.

[ a beat ]

Do you want to talk about something else?

video

[harriedosborn]

... Yeah. Let's. How's it been going?

video

[jackpots]

Enh.

[ rolling back over and then just

dropping her face into the bed ]

It's been going. How about you?

video

[harriedosborn]

About the same. Even though I just had a birthday I feel like I'm regressing back to my moody teenager phase.

video

[jackpots]

There's nothing wrong with the moody teenager phase. I'm a moody teenager.

video

[harriedosborn]

There's plenty wrong with it. It's embarrassing, for one.

video

[jackpots]

So not embarrassing.

video

[harriedosborn]

Yeah, whatever.

video

[jackpots]

You're doing the moody teenager thing right noooow.

video

[harriedosborn]

I know. I don't really feel like doing anything else right now.

video

[jackpots]

So you're like, what. Feeling more like a fourteen year-old or a sixteen year-old?

video

[harriedosborn]

Hmm. Eighteen.

video

[jackpots]

That doesn't really count then.

video

[harriedosborn]

Of course it counts. I was way moodier at eighteen than at sixteen.

video

[jackpots]

What.

[ trying to imagine... ]

You must have done it backwards then. I can't imagine me being any moodier than I am right now at this age.

video

[harriedosborn]

I had a lot going on at eighteen. Sixteen you're still in high school -- it's the easy life. Trust me.

video

[jackpots]

Fiiine. I am trusting you, O Wise and Aged One.

video

[harriedosborn]

That's right, trust the expert.

video

[jackpots]

We'll see how it is when I turn eighteen anyways.

video

[harriedosborn]

Hopefully you won't be here when you do.

video

[jackpots]

Hhh. I wouldn't want to be here for two years.

video

[harriedosborn]

I don't blame you.

video

[jackpots]

And hey, even if I did end up being here for that long, maybe I'd get to spend it with you and Peter.
