jesus no i'd never tell anyone about that
it's just something stupid
me being a total loser
you don't need to worry about it

[Okay, now someone feels slightly less-than-stellar about himself...]

I've never thought about you like that. Smart and kinda sarcastic, yes, but never a loser.

Seriously, what's up? I work with Allen, so if this'll affect the interfaith center, I think I've got a right to know.

it won't
i had a personal conversation with someone
and they couldn't keep it to themselves

Of course they couldn't.
I don't even know Ino, so I can promise I won't hear anything from her (him?).

In general, though, you know you can always talk to me about things?

oh ino's a she
and allen's best friend

and i know i can it's just
it was a really personal problem
that i thought you'd kind of be uncomfortable with

[The kind of personal problem he'd be really uncomfortable with....]

I'm not that much of a prude!
I've had girlfriends before. It's not like it's all uncharted territory.

[This part comes maybe ten minutes later, once he's recovered from that incoming headache (and right now, he is so glad Alex can't see his face, because guess who got back some vivid, not-appropriate memories??)

Great. He's even less of a prude than he thought.]

Thanks, though, for respecting that.
I hope the guys you mentioned helped you sort it all out?

[Meanwhile she's just sinking out of her chair, trying to hide her face from the entire universe. She's so bad at verbalizing this stuff, and then when she finally does...]

i mean i didn't really feel like i should come to you being all
"hey i'm a lonely, frustrated heathen and i need help finding someone to smooch"
bc then it sounds like it's bc of you
and it's totes not
it's just me being off my game and missing people too much

but i guess they helped
or they tried to
they got me a date with a superhero

I figured it wasn't. I wasn't exactly helping back there, and it's normal to want something more physical.
Also makes a lot of sense you wouldn't come to me. Sorry I jumped to conclusions back there.

[He really means it too; as much as he wants to keep hiding under his jacket right now, he can't blame her for any of this.]

A bonafide superhero sounds like fun. Have you talked to them before, or is this a blind date thing?
If it's the latter, I can give you one of those emergency calls ten minutes in.

hey it's fine
i was being pretty shady

and we haven't met
but i think she might actually be blind
allen told me i can't text her

Or she can't read or write in English.
The auto-translate doesn't work on anything in text form, so even if I wrote أنا آسف

It'd be hard to understand unless you knew Arabic.
On that note - don't text Kirito either. He's only really fluent in Japanese.

yeah maybe
another thing that does suck about here
no matter what back in para you could understand everyone
as long as they weren't thinking too hard ab what language they were using

Figures the soul-sucking castle would get it right.
Google Translate's a thing back home, and it's 2016. You'd think space reality TV could do it in a snap.

Maybe it's for more drama? Or miscommunication-type things?

woah dude 2016
you're from the future
last time i was home it was 2010

Seriously?
You missed out on a lot of iPhone upgrades. Along with more serious stuff like refugee crises and alien invasions, of course.

[He honestly hopes her world's not like his, because uh. Hollywood kinda collapsed upon itself.]

If you've got questions about those six years, I can try to answer them?

oh my god aliens again
i hope we have different earths bc i do not want to deal with that
but like honestly all i can remember about 2009 was jersey shore and obama
as long as those things are still around i'm good with the future

I do too. Fighting them off wasn't my idea of a picnic.

Obama won another term, but I think Jersey Shore got canceled. You wouldn't miss them, honestly. Everyone's all over those "Real Housewives." You might love Gangnam Style.
Remind me to see if anyone can help with my phone charger.

oh man what the hell kind of imposters are they
unless they're disgusting and orange and have ridiculous names
i am not on board with this

Some of them are??
I am the worst person to ask. I think I can count on one hand how many shows I've watched last year.

Half were in Arabic.

man i haven't watched actual tv in like three and a half years
i was the biggest lazyass couch potato teenager in the world too like
oh yeah i once spent all of july on the couch as a personal challenge

I was never much for TV. I'd rather head to the library and pick something out.

That's quite the challenge. Did you succeed?

ugh
and i was never big on libraries
words on a page aren't really my thing for some reason
i just totally zone out

and yeah it was a complete success
really gave me a sense of purpose

I'm sorry to hear that.
If we had access to more than trashy romance novels, I'd read some of my favorites to you.
You know things like Simon Snow were great books at one point?

I can only imagine what kind of purpose that would be.

i read like the first one but they reminded me too much of our school
like i'm pretty sure they ripped off the uniforms from us
