❄ 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?

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?

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

[She's quiet for a moment, but only a moment.]
...what happened with him?
no subject
[ Which is all true, but it definitely sounds like she is leaving something out. ]
no subject
[She has a funny feeling in her food storage pouch. Kind of fluttery and just strange.]
I think you are really nice, too, Jade! So I guess I'm glad we're...well. The world needs more nice people in it.

I guess I should be congratulating you, then! I'm glad that he has someone nice.
no subject
Um, thanks. I'm not even sure if humans and trolls can have this kind of...thing, but I think I should try.
no subject
[Even if her face, on the other side of the line, is clearly not nearly as happy as she's making her voice sound.]
no subject
let's make this private real quick-like
I -- the way it sounded, I guess it was easy to misinterpret what you meant! I'm double-glad he has you for a moirail. That's very reassuring!
Because, well...this whole 'working on not being a big douchebag' thing has made me think I am kind of flushed for him, maybe. Which is weird because I didn't think I was, before. I guess seeing him trying has, well...
