❄ sixth reminder

[ 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?

No that is totally what you were, I came over and saw after capslocktroll got done being a douche and let me in. You were pretty much exactly a smiling stupid zombie, only instead of "braaaains" you were just all "aww, what a cute little birdie!"

So you're admitting to always being a smiling stupid zombie?

And come on, who thinks crows are cute? We eat carrion and roadkill, fucking adorable.

I dunno Jade, I was just "oh man stupid zombies are like this" and you were all "i'm like that all the time!" that's some pretty damning evidence right there.

Even when I'm eating carrion and roadkill? [Or... trying to peck out your eyes like a zombie? We're putting that behind us]

Wait, shit, does that make you the new rapthority in this relationship? Are you going to start overruling my sick rhymes with your manthrochap-raps just because you're a human? I smell racism.

Yeah, see, not adorable. You're fucking lucky I eat pizza instead.

This whole town is speciesist. Making us use different bathrooms, go to different schools and all that stuff.

Well, not any worse than it is for a human's stomach. Hasn't killed me yet.

Damn right I can, every car is just another target to me.

Like what? I'm not gonna eat birdseed, Jade, that stuff sucks.

You're the one who brought up shitting everywhere.

Oh man, how could I forget worms, wow, thanks Jade, I am totally hungry now, the idea of sliding a wriggling invertebrate that came out of the dirt from eating shit and decomposing corpses is totally helping me get my hunger on, you don't even know, I was all "fuck nothing sounds tasty" but then along comes you all "hey dave, eat slimy wrigglers" and I was like "oh man how did I live without you i fucking love slimy wrigglers wriggling down my throat goddamn" holy shit this is like an epiphany.

Totally did too.

Like, starving people in terrible places like Africa or Louisiana. I'll start eating worms when you start, okay?

Sweet, awesome.

Wait, fuck, you better not start eating worms.

Goddamnit.

Okay, obviously the only solution to this situation is to rope Egbert into doing it too.

Awesome, we'll just convince him it's some kind of super animal-lovers bonding shit or something. He like animals, right? I mean, I hear he doesn't even want to take your hellbeast out behind the shed and shoot it.
