❄ 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?
cullscuttlefish: (I see...)

I see...

[She's quiet for a moment, but only a moment.]

...what happened with him?
cullscuttlefish: (I wanna be where the people are)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2011-10-02 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I - well. I am glad he's getting some of the hang of this 'be someone's friend without being a douchebag' stuff. It is not an easy thing for him!

[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.
cullscuttlefish: (a)(a)(a...)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2011-10-02 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh. Well. This is...actually strange because this whole 'Eridan is not being all that much of a douchebag' thing was making Feferi think that she might actually be a little flushed for him after all. That was kind of stupid of her, she thinks! But she is not going to let that come through in her voice if she can help it. She takes a deep breath.]

I guess I should be congratulating you, then! I'm glad that he has someone nice.
cullscuttlefish: (o)( nooooo)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2011-10-02 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I...I'm happy for you. I guess I should congratulate Eridan, too. He deserves a matesprit who is as sweet as you are.

[Even if her face, on the other side of the line, is clearly not nearly as happy as she's making her voice sound.]
cullscuttlefish: (w)(oops...)

let's make this private real quick-like

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2011-10-02 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[nervous laughter. so much nervous laughter.]

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...
cullscuttlefish: (giggle)

yep! 38)

[personal profile] cullscuttlefish 2011-10-02 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, it's all right! It just sounded -- well, you know. [And now she giggles, clearly in a much brighter mood.] And...yeah. It's weird. I didn't think I wanted that, I thought I wanted something...different. But now that Eridan's not being so...well, like a fuckass douchebag, I...well, yeah.
cullscuttlefish: (idk my bff cuttlefish?)

Thank you, Jade. And of course, the same goes for you!
