[Hilariously because I grabbed the wrong text code but also he's been doing this with Dave specifically for a while, so:]

because he's my best friend.

anyway! that sounds awesome. why wouldn't you use them that much but still have them?

do i need to do another pep talk, ayano? i can be pretty good or pretty bad at them, depending.

[kagepuro]

[hey it works!!]

thats really cute johnathan omg

my parents just bought them for me, i never really asked for them. i mostly just play the yearly wrestling game and like, a couple other things when I'm bored...I'm not good at them anyway lol

I'll have you kno that IM usually the one who gives pep talks me!!!!
I think i just need to stop thinking about my love life and stupid jude and his dumb face

[windeity]

ugh, it's not supposed to be cute. it just is how things are sometimes.

that's. a little weird, but ok! it is as good a start as anyway. video games are a staple of friendships, ayano. i will make you into a pro in no time.

i have yet to see the pep in the talk. but yeah, not thinking about it would maybe help (his name's jude?)
take it from someone with other experience. once you stop thinking about your love life that is about the time your love life explodes into good stuff.

[kagepuro]

the hilarious fact that his name alludes to the man who betrayed Jesus christ with a kiss is not lost on me

But ok I'm just gonna!!!

Put it out of my mind!!!





Ok its gone. One day you'll be real sad and ayano's smiling face will make everything better this i PROMISE johnathan
I will be there for you on the metaphorical party couch, for all of your leaning needs & purposes

[windeity]

that is unfortunate, you're right.

see? easy. exes are exes for a reason. exes need to exit, etc.

well i appreciate that. but i think i do not have a lot to be sad about anymore. things are better.

[Or, at least, nothing he'll admit immediately so.]

until then apparently we need to meet on a real couch again with a nintendo system or something.

[kagepuro]

things are better for me too!! Mostly, anyway ☺️

OH
JOHNATHAN
SPEAKING OF COUCHES

Look at my beautiful basement couch!!!

its pretty much the greatest birthday present i ever got
u could be sitting on this whenever u want, johnathan

[Yes she...got a couch for her thirteenth birthday.]

[windeity]

that's the important part.

that. is the biggest couch i have ever seen. you could fit like seven people on that thing.
why do you even have a couch that big?
i mean it is a very sweet couch but holy shit.

[This is not fair????]

[kagepuro]

Jude and i used to have a bunch of friends over & I'd make them watch wrestling ppvs

It doesn't get as much use as it used to, but laying down on it is still basically the best thing
its like a giant bed it makes me feel like a princess

i think there's probably room for both of us, and even david too

[windeity]

it looks like a good movie couch. i am sort of jealous.
dave's really skinny, he could easily fit on that thing with both of us.
and whoever else.
is it actually comfortable though or is it just big?

[kagepuro]

it was a little stiff when i first got it but it has five years of being broken in so its nice and cushy, even on the corners.

movie nights are kinda hard because dad has to set up the 4K projector that thing is such a pain i never even learned how to set it up

sometimes we play board games on the couch

[windeity]

tempting.

how hard can it be? it is a projector, ayano.
seriously how do you have all of this cool stuff you don't actually know how to use?

...board games can be fun though.

[kagepuro]

there's like 15 different buttons sure it sounds simple but then you wanna turn it on and instead weird stuff keeps happening and you have to call dad to come fix it and sometimes dad is asleep and cant help...

I told you i dont use it very often!!

Board games are alright!! I don't like those ones w/ the dice and stats and stuff, i just can't pay attention long enough

[windeity]

maybe it would help to label the 15 buttons with what they do so you are not just pushing a bunch of buttons and making weird stuff happen? i am just saying.

we'll figure it out. we have time and you seem smart enough to figure it out/learn.

nothing is as bad as risk, but not all dice games are bad! i am better at card games anyway but short -term board games are fun. the ones you can make up stories about, like clue and whatever.

[kagepuro]

ok I'll ask dad to buy a label machine

Card games like poker and stuff? Cause those are dumb too
Dumb games about luck and deception

Clue is much better
I'm glad that you could see reason, johnathan

I have a really cool superhero version of clue!! If you're not too mature and grown up for super heroes MrPartyBoy5000

[windeity]

does your dad buy everything?

they're not THAT dumb.
ok they're a little dumb.
but not if you know how to play and win?
but there are other card games that aren't poker.

i try to see reason in everything, especially board games.
also, no one is too cool to like superheroes. that is just a fact!

[kagepuro]

he kinda has to it's not like I have a job or anything, I'm still in high school

You knew that right??

I'll play super hero go fish with you but that's it for card games, then

[windeity]

i sort of figured that out when you told me dave was your tutor, yes.
should that bother me or something? i just graduated last spring.
i am always down for superhero go fish though.

[kagepuro]

david will probably still be tutoring me when I'm in uni

If i get into uni
If you're a first year, then we're the same age!

ACTIVITY DOSSIER FOR FUNTIME IN AYANO'S VERY NICE BASEMENT:

- superhero clue
- superhero go fish
- johnathan teaches ayano how to be good at nintendo
- movies if dad can get the projector working
- maybe david is there also

[windeity]

he probably is a good choice.
math is pretty dumb anyway.

are we? somehow i thought so, but this makes sense now why i have never seen you on campus.

that sounds like a pretty good afternoon if you ask me.
dave can come if he wants.
i can ask him. or maybe you should since it's your house?
i don't know, the point is the other four things sound like a good plan.

[kagepuro]

hahaha yeah I fricked up my senior year the first time oops....

you should ask him I feel like you could probably pitch it better than I who constantly makes a fool of herself and pays the price for it 😅
god you should have SEEN ME start talking about dumb wrestling stuff when he was tutoring me it was pretty embarrassing
If my parents get used to you guys you can stay over some time instead of whatever sad apartment/dorm you prolly live in

[windeity]

what happened? or is that like a thing that we do not talk about?

dave is probably used to me saying dumb stuff but sure, ok, i can ask him whenever.
why did you start talking about wrestling...
and thanks! our dorm isn't that bad but at the same time we probably would not object.
your couch is probably more comfortable than our beds :\

[kagepuro]

i failed, that's pretty much all there is to it ☹️

I started talking about wrestling because i like wrestling and sometimes its the only way i can relate to people when they're talking about things that THEY like
you can apply the career trajectory of dwayne the rock johnson to pretty much anything

its more comfortable than MY bed



actually that's a lie my bed is hella nice ☺️

[windeity]

oh, ouch. sorry! i did not think it was something like that.

...you're not wrong, first of all, but also that only works, i think, if the thing you like is similar to the thing other people like.
dave, luckily, is pretty weird enough he lets people talk about whatever.
also where is my explanation about the career trajectory of dwayne the rock johnson, ayano? i thought we had a good thing going already.

i am severely jealous of your comfortable bed suddenly. the dorm twin beds are bullshit.

[kagepuro]

i mean, its kind of like what we were talking about on the couch, you know? We have these things in our lives that we have trouble letting go of, and at some point, we just HAVE to, we don't really have much of a choice, you know what i mean johnathan? you think about the rock and the success of his initial run, the feuds w/ stone cold & foley, it was incredible, there had never been anything or anyone like him in the entire business. & whats interesting is he could've done that forever, made millions doing it and performing for the millions (& millions) (<----- inside joke) of the rock's fans but instead he chooses to step away and try to become an actor and like....it happens, you know? It takes off and he doesn't look back on wrestling for sooooo long he's not a wrestler anymore he's a movie star, so when he comes BACK there's this feeling of like, resentment by everyone else? like you abandoned us to go do your own thing and you didn't come back and you forgot about where you came from and if you think about it johnathan(again) thats a very human thing......people change, and things change too, and its something that we have to accept and try not to be angry about. cena is infuriating because he eats sleeps and breathes wrestling and he sees this guy abandon this thing he loved to do other stuff and they hate each other because cena would never abandon wrestling the way rock did but whats crazy is even though that whole feud happened and cena wins at the very end and they respect each other, the same thing happened to cena later!!! He started getting movie offers and transitioning into only a part time wrestler, and now he was the rock and roman reigns was cena, fighting about whether or not it was okay to step away from the thing that built your, or maybe in some cases, the person that built you? same thing happens where roman comes to respect cena after their match... I think that what its all really about is growing up. You outgrow certain things, you cant stay in one place or with one person forever, and you need to be able to accept that things change and that other people change...johnathan, its like, you have to be true to yourself and dive headlong into your future, and you will be challenged for what you gave up, but you have to fight and know in your heart that you did what you did and left what you left not out of spite or malic or because you thought you were better than them...it was just about growing up and changing and living a life that maybe is a little different from the one you always fell back on








but sorry you can't sleep in my bed 😅

[windeity]

...see, i cannot tell if i should be impressed or scared.
so thanks for that.
i will definitely use this knowledge to better my life.
