Owner	Pose
Conner Kent	So... Mary Jane sometimes uses a sword and goes hunting unicorns. That one was pretty weird, even considering how used to the strange Conner is now. About five minutes after Balm sent the unicorn back to his plane (or whatever) Conner sent her a text. 'Hey, you okay? A sword, hm? We should talk!' Nothing wrong with MJ being a sword wielding something. He has friends that dress like bats. His 'dad' wears a red cape. He dated a timer traveller mutant. But he is a little miffed she didn't tell him knowing he is Superboy. Probably there is a good explanation. Right?
Mary Jane Watson	A bit of a text later and Mary Jane has arranged to meet Conner. As she etners in she's not got the sword with her and has just entered in over wearing a t-shirt with a Spider-Man face on it and a set of shorts. She gives a wave over at him as she does so and moves to head along in to sit next to him. "Uh, hey, how have things been? You didn't get hurt did you?"
Conner Kent	Conner picked the pirate-themed restaurant because it is close to his apartment and, well, who doesn't like the pirate theme? He has been here a couple times already, so if they need drinks or food, both are good. He even picked a table in at the furthers side of the right side platform. He waves to the redhead when she steps in, offering her a smile. Like usual, he wears jeans and a comfortable t-shirt. "I am fine, I am nearly invulnerable, remember?"
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would nod, "Yes. I just was.." She goes through the motions, "All right, I presume you're very, very confused on what happened. And I.. would have told you but it's not the thing that relaly could be worked into casual conversation." She would say drolly. "I'm possessed by the spirit of a barbarian warrior from at least ten thousand years ago, very likely longer."
Conner Kent	Conner gestures MJ to sit down and blinks slowly as she explain what is going on. Admittedly, that is one he had not heard before. "Er... do you need an exorcism? I know someone. Balm, the girl that sent the unicorn back to its world. She might be able to do it." Being possessed can't be fun. Particularly by someone that likes to use a sword. "How did this happen to you, anyway?"
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would shrug, "She's a very, very, very distant ancestor. I touched a blade that used to belong to her. I was.. Possessed by her. She's a part of me, I've had her in me for over two years. We're together. And I don't want her taken out. She's.. Saved my life a lot of times and taken me in ways I never would have imagined."
Conner Kent	Ah, the ghost is a 'she'. The 'barbarian' bit made him think something else. "Two years already," considers Conner. "Well... hmm, I am no expert in possession or ancient spirits, but have you talked with one? It seems a dangerous situation. It was you in the park, or it was her? How much control do you have?" He handwaves to the waitress. Not ready to order, sorry. Then focuses on MJ again, "How do you know all this? Are you talking to this ghost or... how does the possession work?"
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would nod over, "I have a couple. And.. I'm good with her. We've learned to work together. We.. Share a body, we share thoughts, we can speak to onea nother. And I can give her control when I need to. She gives me guidance and skills." And in turn MJ mostly prevents her from going on massive killing sprees. Which is not mentioned at all. "We share the body and we can give one another it when we need to. And yes that was her."
Conner Kent	"I noticed the body language was different," comments Conner, thoughtful. "It is a strange situation. But I guess if you are comfortable with her and she doesn't take over without your permission..." he doesn't finish the sentence, just seeing confirmation that is the case. MJ seems her normal self now, but after two years the spirit might be able to imitate her pretty well, right? He better be watchful.
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would nod over, "Yes. GEnerally when she takes control she gets more aggressive. We tend to work together." By that MJ means she tries to mostly hold back the other woman from using excessive force.
Conner Kent	"Tend, but not always?" Conner heard 'she takes control too'. "Seriously, it sounds you have a problem. It sounds as if your spirit can control you, and she is aggressive and sometimes does thing you wouldn't do. It doesn't seem you have the control, MJ. Are you sure you are okay with all this?"
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would give a nod over at Conner, "Not always. We work together mos to fthe time. But sometimes we want to go in different directions too much. We share the body. That means we have to work things out and we don't awlays get along."
Conner Kent	Conner frowns. "Well, look. It is your body and your mind, so this ghost has no right to do that, you don't have to share your life with... angry distant ancestors. Even if they have saved your life." More than once, she said. New York is not that dangerous. Not for aspirant model/actresses. Also, the ghost endangered MJ's life by going after a magical unicorn with a sword.
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would glance at Conner, "I disagree on that." She would smile, "It's her body as well." Mary Jane seems to not have any issues of thsoe times when Sonja does take over. "Look, it's.. Complicated. But our.. Dynamic works. For the both of us. Sometimes. And the unicorn wasn't that bad. I twas just scared and had escaped from the circus."
Conner Kent	"Not bad? It was able to shoot stones and animate trees," Conner would say that is not bad, but he is half-kryptonian. For him getting shoot by cannons is 'not bad'. Most everyone else dies. "I know I shouldn't be the one to talk about risking your life, but... uh, I will talk about it. Because you are a normal human and I am able to lift a tank and shoot laser beams from my eyes." He sighs, "your ghost friend is endangering you. If she makes a mistake, you are the one who gets hurt. She is already long dead."
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would nod, "Exactly, it was pretty mellow compared to the way most unicorns can be. And it was being defensive and afraid. So it was fine. It all ended well. And raging unicorns or ones that have been corrupted can be pretty dangerous. It was a poor thing, only trying to save itself." Mary Jane would smile, "To be blunt here. It is my life. I am the one to make decisions in it of what is right for me and what I want to do. We have been doing this for a lot longer than you have been alive." 'We'? That's probably the lifetime of REd Sonja in her own era. "And that's rather rude of you to say, with understanding."
Conner Kent	Conner has been 'alive' about six years, not counting virtual reality time, so that statement sometimes is true. But since MJ got her ghost two years ago, it doesn't work. Unless she means the lifetime of her ghostly resident. She said 'we' not 'I'. The point that she -wants- this, however, is quite valid. It is the part where she could not have a choice what makes him nervous. "I guess if it is what you want... but I am concerned because, well... you said sometimes she does things you don't want to do. That sounds very bad."
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would nod, "It's something we have to work on together and sort out. And everyone has things they do they regret they have to work on and resolve. It means having to fix things or work together more." She would smile, "We all have things happen. It's something we work out together, for all that comes with it." She woulds it back over in her chair. "And you're sweet and it comes from the depths of your heart, but do remember that telling people to not get into things doesn't come off well." She would if allowed lean in to kiss his forehead.
Conner Kent	Conner blinks, bemused. Sure, kiss him. He would be lying if he said he didn't want it. But he shakes his head. "You don't have to regret anything if it wasn't your fault, MJ. If you have no choice, then it is not your fault." He sighs, offering a fait smile, "yeah well. I am no expert in possession. But I have been in strange situations all my life. Hell, my whole life qualifies as a strange situation. I became somewhat normal only when I started college." But that is beside the point. "I have to admit I don't understand why you tolerate possession by someone that will use your body to do things you dislike. Even if your ancestor is a friend, and even if she is often helpful."
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would nod at him and smile, "Well.. If it make syou feel better chasing after a unicorn that escaped from the circus isn't necessarily -freaky- by the standards of New YOrk. I was stuck in Manhattan for awhile when the angels invaded. That was.. Dangerous, but also on the not freaky side. I wasn't stuck in there for very long but I had some friends that were that luckily didn't get hurt." She would shrug, "And it's just how we are. We're both stubborn so we sort of balance one naother out. It's like it was destiny."
Conner Kent	Conner looks thoughtful for a few instants, and then nods. "It is your life. And you told me, which kinda proves the spirit is not controlling you." Or is she? Maybe he was told to lull him in a false sense of safety. But no... MJ could have told him a less outlandish story and hid the ghost. This is probably all true. "So, now sometimes you go in adventures, with a sword, and get into trouble?"
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would laugh, "Pretty much. Have sword, will travel. Stab occasionally. See where I can get the sword to fit." She would look chipper. "And I'm sorry it took so long to tell you. Just it didn't exaclty lend itself to talking about when we're out and about is all." She would elaborate.
Conner Kent	"Eh, it is pretty important, and I have seen weirder things in my line of work," replies Conner. "But it is your life; it is not as if... I mean, we have dated just a couple times," he adds. "You can't go around telling just every handsome guy you just met you have a ghostly ancestor in your life, hmm?"
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would laugh, "Oh, I probably shouldn't tell you just what some of Sonja's.." She doesn't bring up 'standards' or 'experiences'. "Actually, make that definitely shouldn't." She would chuckle. Then her phone would buzz as she would scan down at it. "Sorry.. Friend is in some trouble." Quickly scanning the text.
Conner Kent	"Of course you should tell me," counters Conner quickly. And then the phone starts buzzing. He waits, then offers, "do you need a ride?" They didn't even have a chance to check the menu! But it is not the first time someone needs to leave for an emergency, it comes with the territory. Most times, it is him.
Mary Jane Watson	Mary Jane Watson would laugh, "Oh, no. A friend forgot it's thier mom's birthday and is in panic mode needing help getting a present. I'll take the subway and meet up with them to help them pick some things out. Thanks and you're a dear."
