❄ sixth reminder

[echidna]

[ morning ; 1338 benny road ]

[ Jade can't help but feel something is wrong this morning when she wakes up. She feels like she's missed something, almost like she's been asleep for a long time. She stumbles out of bed, feeling a little fuzzy, noticing the changes to her room. The window's been repaired, there's a backpack that she didn't have before with half finished homework on the desk. She doesn't really start to feel concerned until she looks at the calendar on her wall, which has been flipped over to October.

That can't be right.

She grabs it from the wall, bursts out into the hallway still in her nightgown and clutching it to her chest. ]

Karkat? Gamzee?

[ phone ]

Hi Mayfield! Long time no talk! Or maybe we did talk, but it wasn't me me, it was creepy drone me. I'm not really sure what happened, I can't remember anything since, hmmm, a couple weeks ago, I think, after the zombies. I don't remember going home, or being here, nothing! It's kind of scary, but I'm glad that I was a normal creepy drone and not a murderous creepy drone. I really hope that doesn't happen to me again. Have you ever had something like that happen to you? Not even just droning but, I don't know, something reeeeally creepy where you almost... don't exist. It's kind of scary.

Oh, and apparently I'm a girl scout now, hehe.

[ afternoon ; your front door ]

[ There is some pretty persistent knocking at your front door right now. If and when you get around to answering it, you will find Jade on your doorstep, wagon stacked high with boxes of cookies behind her. She is looking particularly adorable right now, all dressed up in a girl scout's uniform. ]

Hi!! Do you like cookies?

[ phone; fail filter to eridan ]

Eridan? Hi, um... how are you?

[ Brb while stealing husbands wallet. ]

[echidna]

Really?!

[ oh you have set her little girl scout heart all a flutter. she's not even sure how being a girl scout works but selling all your cookies has to be a good thing. ]

[cullscuttlefish]

I'm really glad you're feeling better, Jade. I was worried!

[echidna]

Feferi, hi! I'm sorry for worrying you.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[He just assumes he's dealing with drone Jade; it's early in the morning and he's still not awake enough for fine distinctions, so he sort of ignores her.

She'll also probably be surprised to notice that he's human again.]

Yeah, breakfast is ready downstairs.

[echidna]

[ A little surprised, yes, but there are for more important things on her mind right now; like where the heck was she. ]

Karkat! [ She looks a little upset, or lost, still clutching the calendar. ] What happened?

[afternoon-action]

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup opens the door and grins.]

Yeah, I guess.

[echidna]

[ Jade starts laughing when he opens the door. ]

Hiccup! I didn't even realize this was your house.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[Like Karkat, he also thinks Jade's still droned. He doesn't really treat droned Jade any differently though, as he figures there's no reason to be any less friendly towards her.]

Yeah, hivesis? What's up?

[echidna]

Um- [ Unlike with Karkat, she doesn't bother trying to find out what's happened to her, she just goes right for the hugging. And what a hug it is. ] Hi.

[phone]

[nolongeralpha.livejournal.com]

[oh holy shit's jade's back.
>Davesprite: Flip the fuck out with all these emotions
Pffft, like that would happen. Nope, all cool, all the time, 24/7, like an air conditioner with a broken off-switch.]

Oh hey, look who's back from being a zombie of the smiling, stupid variety.

[echidna]

Hey! [ She's giggling, it takes a moment or two for her to be able to speak again. ] That shows what you know, I was not a smiling stupid zombie at all.

[spiraldoll.livejournal.com]

[[she opens the door wide.]] Hello! Oh?

[[she's smiling as she's asked the question. there is a pause as she leans over slightly, looking at the wagon and the boxes. afterwards, she stands straight again.]] Yes, I do! Are they good cookies?

[echidna]

[ Jade nods brightly, after having tested them with Hiccup earlier she can say that with certainty. ]

Really good! And it's for a good cause.

afternoon, door, this is one of the sole ways to get her out there, sob

[reflames]

[Have a pair of red eyes staring at you from inside the house, Jade. Their owner doesn't seem to want to open the door all the way.]

More of you....?

That's a dumb question. Everyone likes cookies.


I think.

lol no shame in that

[echidna]

[ oh she was kind of not expecting that sort of answer. ]

Maybe not everyone. Some people might hate sweets! Weird people.

phone;

[ironicjournal.livejournal.com]

Well howdy there, Harley.

[echidna]

Hi Mr Strider!

[action]

[vitalizes.livejournal.com]

Uh, 'course I like cookies! What kind ya got?

[echidna]

Hmm... [ She inspects what she has left. ] Well, this kind has chocolate, oh, and these ones are minty I think! Hehe, and these ones are really good, they have caramel in them.

[prpl_assistant]

(Say hi to your new neighbor at 1337 Benny Road, Jade.)

Umm, hello there Miss. Unfortunately, I just made some cookies for my own household recently, so I'm afraid we've got more than enough already.

[echidna]

Oh, that's okay. Are you new here? I don't think we've got a chance to meet yet! I'm Jade, I live right across the street from you!

[Afternoon action]

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[ The door swings open and Firo takes a moment to recognize Jade as the lemonade stand girl. ]

Oh, it's you! Jade, right?

[ At least it seems not getting the police job didn't crush her vocational motivation. He smiles, it's good to see a familiar face again, especially if they have cookies. ]

Of course I do. How much are they?

[echidna]

[ She recognizes him right away, and grins up at him. ]

That's right! Hi Firo, how have you been?

phone;

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

At least you did not come to in a moving car. Be grateful for that much.

[echidna]

That happened to you?

action; front door

[vytis]

[Lithuania is sure he's seen this girl around--she's only a few doors down from him, after all.]

Ah--They're alright?

[echidna]

Alright? They're much better than alright, they're really really good! Maybe even the best cookies ever.

[phone]

[heteropennae.livejournal.com]

A girl scout?

... What's a girl scout?

[echidna]

I'm not entirely sure, besides selling cookies, but there has to be stuff other than the cookies.

Afternoon

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa answers the door, smiling. ] Wait, that time of year again?

[echidna]

Is it? I don't know!

Action: front door

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

[Surprised:]

...it's you! The troll girl!

[echidna]

[ Equally surprised! ]

And it's you, the rude man! [ Wait no Jade he is a potential customer be tactful. ] I mean, yes it's me, and I am Jade.

phone;

[grimmdark]

And now you're back. I'll be honest, your absence was starting to bother me a little.

[echidna]

Rose! [ well someone certainly sounds excited to hear from you! ] Hi, wow, I'm so sorry that happened so soon after you got here!

phone

[misterwwizard.livejournal.com]

J-Jade?!

[His heart skips a beat when he hears Jade sounding... an awful lot more normal than the drone version...]

Y-you're back? Was fuckin' worried you wouldn't be comin' back...

[THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT FOR HIM FOR A CHANGE!]

[echidna]

Hi, Eridan. [ She sounds pretty relieved to hear from him. ] I'm sorry for worrying you.

Action; COOKIES I mean Front door

[a1a100.livejournal.com]

[Sollux answers the door a little over a few minutes.]

Why hathn't anyone elthe anthwered the door yet..

[And then he stares at Jade for a minute]

You're that...Harley girl, right?

[He rubs the back of his head.]

I don't really like thweetth that much but the otherth probably do.....

[And then he takes out a few bills from his pocket.]

...how much are they?

[echidna]

Yeah, that's me! But you can just call me Jade. You are Karkat's friend and John's pretend brother, right?

[ gasp wait. did he just say he doesn't like cookies. did he. ] You don't like them?

afternoon

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Cookies?

Oh, yes biscuits, Love a good biscuit. I'll take some.

[Grabbing a box. WHAT IS PAYING FOR SERVICES]

<33333

[echidna]

[ oh yay wait what is he doing?? ]

Hey, you can't just take them!

[ she will just be grabbing that back, or trying to. he is tall and she is short. ]

Action

[chastesaw]

*And the door opens to reveal...

...a somewhat perplexed-looking Kanaya.* Ah... yes, I would say that I do enjoy sweet baked confections provided they do not contain even the slightest amount of sopor slime.

Why do you ask?

And what is this uniform you're wearing?

[echidna]

Hi Kanaya! [ wow this is such a good way to find out where all her friends live. ] I ask because I'm selling them, and this uniform is my girl scout uniform.

Just don't ask what a girl scout is, because I still haven't figured that out.

[Action]

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

[ THINKING HARD about cookies... ]

Uuuuh, I think so, also hi, uh, Jade, your voice is sounding, more normal?

[echidna]

Oh, hi Tavros. [ preemptively crossing her fingers in hopes that this won't end awkwardly. ] Normal? Yeah, hehe, it's not a creepy drone voice anymore.

[Action at 1334 Benny]

[wannafightnow.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like cookies, why?

[Yeah, he's just kind of staring at you and your wagon filled with boxes, wondering why you're here asking about cookies.]

[echidna]

[ a-aaah this guy is a little intimidating, but jade is a girl on a mission! ]

Because I am selling them!
