❄ 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?

Oh, so you got here right after I got droned, hehe. It's really nice to meet you Miss Pauling.

[ hand shake!! ]

[prpl_assistant]

(Well, she's certainly very enthusiastic, considering that she's been droned.)

You were...droned?

[echidna]

Yes, it's like I was me and not me at the same time. It's really creepy, especially because I don't remember anything that happened.

[prpl_assistant]

I hope you don't mind me asking, Miss Jade, but why were you droned in the first place?

[echidna]

I don't really know! I did skip school that day, and I think sometimes they will drone you if you break the law, but I was droned for a few weeks! That seems like a lot for skipping school.

[prpl_assistant]

That...does seem to severe. Well, I'm glad that you're back; it must not be very pleasant to be a drone.

[echidna]

I can't really remember what it felt like, but it's creepy to wake up in your bed weeks after you remember going to sleep and not being able to remember what happened.

[prpl_assistant]

Yes, that does sound unpleasant.

So how are you coping with returning to Mayfield?

[echidna]

Pretty well, I think! I wish I could remember what happened the past couple of weeks, but I'm happy to be back.

[prpl_assistant]

Do you have any housemates? I'm sure they could tell you about what's been going on in Mayfield.
