❄ third reminder

[ phone ]

[ Jade places this call only a few minutes after drinking the morning's milk delivery. She sounds exactly like she feels: shitty. ]

Um, hi, Mayfield. I know things have been pretty bad recently, but I hope everyone's doing okay. I'm sorry I haven't been checking in on anyone!

[ Any cheeriness she had fostering fades as she continues. ]

With the way death is in this place, I guess I shouldn't be scared of it, but I still sort of am. Especially when I've already done it once. Hehe, um, at least this time I don't think it's going to hurt so badly.

So I guess I'll be able to talk to everyone tomorrow! I wonder if my police chief application had been better, maybe this wouldn't have happened. ...oh well.

Stay safe everyone! Bye.

[ why him. why her. why anything. why. ]

That's great, Eridan. [ why is she even bothering being polite. ] Um, sure, I'll keep that in mind.

[in a rare moment of kindness, he'll do the unthinkable.]

Jade you feelin' alright? I was picturin' you as a happy bubbly sort of person.

[echidna]

[ Is Eridan being nice right now? This must be near-death delirium. ]

Heh, let's just say I've felt way better than this.

Normally I wouldn't be carin' so much, but you're one of the more tolerable of these humans. That... and you're kinda remindin' me of someone...

[echidna]

Oh... [ ... that's a compliment, right. ] Um, thanks.

I am?

[Yeah. You're one of the few to give him the time of day, Jade~]
Not a problem my compliments are like pearls. Reel'y fuckin' rare as hell and worth their shit, best be feelin' fuckin' honored.

You're remindin' me a' my old Moirail, Fef. You share much a' the same qualities and its makin' me fuckin' realize how much I miss her.

[He has no real idea why he's opening up now of all times, probably due to loneliness and that Jade's one of the few who will actually listen.]

[echidna]

[ It takes her a bit to answer him, because she isn't really sure how to respond to that. From what she knows of Feferi, she certainly doesn't mind being compared to her. ]

Thank you, Eridan.

[ And then she's quiet again, thoughtful. She can practically hear his loneliness, and it makes her sad, which is really saying something right now. ]

Um, hey. [ She's not sure if it's the poison or pity talking right now, she just hopes she doesn't regret this later. ] After things calm down, do you maybe want to hang out sometime?

[His heart stops... did she really just say that? Oh he can hardly contain his excitement]

Well Jade that'd be a most excellent way to be spendin' my time I'll have to be takin' you up on the offer for a date....to be hangin' out, I mean. Could be usin' some friends around here.
