Jake: Pester Jane.
Aloha madame. Jake! Hey there. I was actually about to message you. Yes i have heard that maybe your correspondence was forthcoming. You did? I just got off the horn with roxy. Wait... What did she tell you? Well. Not anything all that specific. Did she goad you into writing this message? Oh you know how it is. What with her ways. What ways? You know... ways! I believe they are not incongruous with those of a feisty and provocative young woman. Provocative my behind! She is skirting dangerously close to meddlesome territory. No its really not like that! Hold on... God dammit. ?? Its just dirks inscrutable wrestlebot acting up over there. What the fuck is it doing now? Has one of his gadgets been causing trouble for you over there as well? If by causing trouble you mean clobbering the everfriggin tar out of me while still switched to the "novice" setting then yes. But that is not why i messaged you!!! I will not be deterred here jane. Deterred from what? Jane i think its time we had an honest to goodness dame to fella talk. Like about our... Stuff. You know? Our stuff? Our feelings. Like how we feel about each other. Um... Yes. Okay. I dont think im out of line in suggesting weve been tiptoeing around some things here do you? Have we? I think so. Its just a hunch. Is there something you want to say to me, Jake? About how you feel? Absolutely! I feel that total honesty between us will be the best policy as we begin our journey together. So i say lets put all the facts on the table where we can both see them. With that in mind i would like to ask you a question jane and i hope it doesnt strike you as being too forward. ... Go on. Maybe its just my imagination but ive picked up on certain lets say hints. So i have to just come out and ask. Hoo boy this is actually proving to be a serious challenge to my bravery now that im going through with it. Im getting a little hot under the collar here! No, it's ok... Please continue! Ok then. What id like to know is... Do you like me jane? Uh. Wait... What? I mean do you like me as more than a friend? Do you envision us as like... An item? A romantic pairing of sorts? Wow, um. Is that the direction in which you would prefer our relationship to progress? Well, I Please! Be honest with me jane. Just come out and say it. Do you fancy me? No!
