( Jo's eyes widen a little and her eyebrows lift. She's not really sure how to answer that, at first, because well...she just...doesn't know who they are. She can't help it. She's also not really sure whether that's an actual question or a rhetorical one. )

I just...don't? I don't know when that music is from. If it's from nowish, then that would explain a lot because it seems like everyone I meet is from way, way in the past compared to me.

( A small smile crosses Jo's expression when he talks about his girlfriend. It falters a little when he sort of gives himself a backhanded compliment, in a way, but she shakes her head and shrugs her shoulders in response to his question rather than probing about the girlfriend. Talking about her that much didn't seem to make him feel much better, so pushing the subject certainly won't. )

It depends on how you look at it. My wish is for my best friend's success, which sounds really selfless, but when you consider the fact that he's also my employer and my employment absolutely hinges on his success, it's really a little selfish as well, so... Yeah.

( She doesn't have a problem sharing her wish, but it's not really that personal, either. Dave's success means he gets to stay busy and he tends to be happier that way. That means her bestie is happy, and then she stays employed and keeps making a shitload of money having the time of her life and helping Dave, so she's happy; everybody wins. )

I think it's probably okay for wishes to be selfish though, I mean...they're wishes. That's kind of what they're literally for, isn't it?
