❄ tenth reminder

[echidna]

[ action ; 1338 benny ; morning ]

[ so the previous day you likely noticed that Jade was a happy, cheerful drone! fortunately, today she is back to her normal self, up bright and early and just a little confused, all things considered. but for now, she's settled herself down at the breakfast table, humming and working at a bowl of cereal.

everything seems pretty normal, save for the pair of dog ears she's now sporting. ]

[ phone ]

Hi Mayfield, it's Jade! [ wow she sounds super excited! breeeeathe! ] I have so much to tell you!

I went home! I'm not really sure how, or if that kind of thing happens a lot but I went home and I don't think I remembered being here or what but it's really weird! I'm also not sure why I'm back but I guess I'm kind of glad because now I can tell everyone-- or maybe I'm not supposed to say anything! Does anyone know anything about that, I mean, I don't want to spoil anything for my friends who don't know what's going to happen.

Timelines are getting kind of difficult to keep track of, maybe I should make a list.

Anyway, does this going home thing happen a lot? Because I keep getting pulled out at kind of inconvenient times!

[ action ; around mayfield ]

[ Jade is quite active around Mayfield today, once again having donned her girl scouts uniform, but without the wagon of cookies in tow. She's chopped some holes into her hat to accommodate her newly regained ears, and is approaching just about everyone, be they girl or otherwise, with the intention of recruitment. ]

Hi, did you know that you look like you would make an excellent girl scout?

[ gasp!!!!!!!!! girl scouts is suddenly forgotten!!! ]

Wait, Lucas, do you know someone named Tavros?

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Yes. Your dream-self had them and you inherited them from her. Truly he was a good dog and a best friend.

When you get them back, just remember that then. It will save you the disappointment.

[echidna]

[ Jade is quiet for a moment, looking away. Her grin is not so bright right now. ]

Actually, um, even though it's complicated, maybe I could tell you anyway? I don't know if I can even tell it to anyone else.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[That shocked look... Lucas looks slightly embarrassed in response.]

Y-Yes, I do. ...I guess he told a lot of people about what happened, eheh.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

You did? For how long?

[Looking worried suddenly.]

Is everything all right?

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[He will just take that motion as an invitation and swoop in for a quick kiss.]

I'm glad you're back.

[echidna]

I think it only amounts to a few hours, but um, lots of stuff has happened. I am pretty sure I'm ahead of everyone else on the timeline now.

[echidna]

He did! I'm his, uh, friend, and I am also a moirail. Not his, obviously, since that's you, but another troll's.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

...Of course. You can always talk to me.

[He looks tempted to pick her up, like he did when she was undead, but resists. Jade may be a little girl, but she's not that little. Instead he tightens an arm around her shoulders.]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...I know you won't tell me anything, but you're scaring me right now. Please, if everything just goes further to hell, just let me know now.

[echidna]

[ She returns the kiss happily, reaching for his hand to tug him in and make it last a little bit longer. ]

Sorry for disappearing again. At least it was only a day this time, right?

[notwrongteous.livejournal.com]

I'd miss you a whole lot too.

[echidna]

I... [ She's quiet for several long moments, not sure how to continue. She doesn't know how to act when she knows more than the rest of them now. ] Everything's going to be alright.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Do you really mean that?

Or are you just saying that?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[wait slow dawning comprehension Lucas turns even redder for some reason.]

Ohhh, you're Jade! I... I've heard a lot about you, eheh. Um. It's definitely nice to meet you in person!

Ah, I'm glad to hear that! So it's not that unusual, then... Maybe I can ask you for advice sometime.

[echidna]

Okay. [ she sighs, but it sounds relieved. it's nice to have someone to confide to. ] I don't want to talk about it in the kitchen though.

[echidna]

[ Her fingers curl uneasily into the fabric of his shirt, gripping tightly. ]

I mean it.

[echidna]

Lucky for you I am not going anywhere if I can help it, so we will not have to miss each other in the first place.

[Terezi is in Fuckass Hive this morning because dropping in on her friends is just what she does. she wanders into the kitchen, interested in some toast, and then-]

Something smells like a barkbeast.

[echidna]

Terezi? [ ultimately Jade is...not all that surprised to see her. ] Oh, that barkbeast smell is probably me!

[echidna]

The best dog ever! Even when he was Noir he... well, you already know that.

I don't know, I might be a little tempted to try now.

[echidna]

The uniform is not stupid, it's cute! I'm sure they would have one in your size.

[echidna]

You have? [ she probably shouldn't be surprised by this. she just wonders what exactly he's heard. ]

Well, I think it is still pretty unusual, but since we are in the same position we can definitely help each other out.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I'm not wearing a girl's uniform.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Do you mind if I ask who it is your... moirail is? [The word is still unfamiliar. It doesn't roll off the tongue well.] Besides Tavros, I've just met Karkat. And Vriska. But yeah! Tavros has a lot of nice things to say about you.
