❄ 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?

[notwrongteous.livejournal.com]

Heheh, but I'm already a boyscout Jade!

[Then he notices the ears]

Woah! You've got dog ears now! Are they real?

[echidna]

You are? [ awww... she looks disappointed. ]

Yeah, they are! [ She tilts her head towards him. ] You can touch them if you want.

phone; sneaks on

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

[...Ah.]

What you do with the knowledge you have of future events is yours to decide. But let me guess, by which I mean I know as certain: you went Godtier?

[echidna]

That's right!

How did you know? Or did you just always know?

Action

[ofoz.livejournal.com]

Oh, do I now? I didn't know girl scouts had appearance requirements.

[echidna]

[ Jade laughs, recognizing her voice from when they spoke over the phone. ]

Not like that! I mean you have the girl scout spark in you!

[ whatever that is. ]

Action

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He'll just stare, and then shake his head a bit.]

No actually.

That's kind of the first time anyone has said that to me.

[echidna]

[ ...huff... pokey... you're gonna be a girl scout. ]

Well, it's true! I think it would be good for you.

Action

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

...I would?

[Sadly, this is the third time in a month that someone has mentioned as such.]

omg yes

[echidna]

[ nodding brightly! ]

Definitely! Have you ever thought about joining?

Phone

[GUESS WHO'S GETTING CALLS ON HIS SWEET NEW iSHADES???]

Fuck did you just come from the future? Did you just ride in at 88mph and now we're going to have to rig a fucking wire to the clock tower after the prom?

[echidna]

Dave!!! [ She's actually... not sure which Dave she is talking to right now. ] Yeah, I think I really am from the future now!

[GRABBING HER FROM BEHIND AND PULLING HER INTO A HUG.]

[echidna]

[ she lets out a surprised sounding squeak. ]

Hey--! [ but she's laughing, squirming around to return the hug. ] Doctor!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[Since he can see she's obviously back to normal, coming downstairs all mad!!]

What the fuck did you do to go and get droned for!

Also, what the fuck is going on with the ears?

[echidna]

[ !!!!!!!!!

Jade doesn't even bother answering his stupid question, just hops up from her seat and throws herself (quite literally) at him for a hug. ]

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

[squints at her ears

pats his own head to make sure this isn't some weird town thing again - nope, horns are still there]

Uhhh...so do all starmonkeys all what sprout fuzzy horns after a while?

[echidna]

These aren't horns, they're ears. [ but she's grinning, motioning for him to come closer. ] And nope, most of us don't.

action around Mayfield

[ironicjournal.livejournal.com]

Matter of fact, I have heard that a time or two. Must be the legs, they'd look killer in the skirt. [ I have no idea if he is joking.

Oh right. ] Nice ears.

[echidna]

I, uh... [ not sure how to respond to that. and definitely not sure if he is being serious or not. ]

.... thanks!

[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!

action

[tacklepounce.livejournal.com]

[ It takes a good ten seconds for Nepeta to process that-- she's too busy staring at Jade's new ears with DEEP ADMIRATION. Distractedly: ]

Really? Hehe, yeah, that sounds like fun.

Did your ears change? They're really, really, impawsibly cute!

[echidna]

Hehe, good eye. [ Not like they're easy to miss. ] Thanks, I think they're really cute too!

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Probably just shouldn't say anything yeah. Things tend to work out better that way.

[echidna]

I feel like I'm keeping secrets.

action

[pkeccentric.livejournal.com]

[this hits just about every level of wrong there is. excuse Ray while he just blinks and stares at those ears, then ponders the question over.]

...Is being part-dog a requirement?

[echidna]

[ Hmm, well, he may not be your typical girl scout candidate, but you never know! ]

Nope! [ Being a girl probably is, she's just not paying attention to that detail. ] Besides, I'm not part dog, I just have the ears right now. ... or does that make me part dog?

action; around mayfield

[heardeadpe0ple.livejournal.com]

Girl scout? What is a girl scout? I mean, it sounds like that of the female nature, who does scout activities. But I doubt that's what it means, since humans don't usually engage in survival tactics as a norm.

[echidna]

Girl scouts sell cookies! We do other things too, like community service stuff. It's pretty fun.

[ but hmmm this girl seems pretty familiar. ]

Do I know you?

[Phone]

[makemebreakfast.livejournal.com]

I went home for a little while then came back.

I've heard it's happened to a lot of other people, too.

[echidna]

What was it like? Did you remember being here when you went back home?

[chastesaw]

I would?

*Turning. Blinking.* Jade, you have ears. Extraneous ones, I mean.

[echidna]

Yes, and I think I've already told you that actually!

[ She giggles, waves when Kanaya turns around. ] What do you think?

action; i am so sorry

[made-this-town.livejournal.com]

Do I look like a fucking broad to you.

never be sorry

[echidna]

[ eek! ]

Uh, no? [ but she sounds so unsure. mostly she's just staring at him. ]

action; I'm assuming she knows of Jadesprite? Silly canon being vague

[grimmdark]

Of course I would.

[Is she joking or...no, Rose never jokes. She's just painfully sarcastic.]

On more pressing news though, I thought it was your sprite self the one that had been bestowed with dog ears. I can be wrong, but I think this time I can vouch for my supposition very well.

lol ikr

[echidna]

Really? That's great! It'll be so much fun with you there Rose.

[ Jade looks a little uncomfortable here, Rose is the first one to actually have an idea of where the ears came from. She doesn't want to lie, but she also doesn't think she should be telling spoilers either. ]

Um, yep, but now I have them too! I went home, for a little while.

Action!

[cantwhinnyemall.livejournal.com]

I suspect that I am the wrong sex for that particular hobby.

...Also I do not much care for the uniform.

[echidna]

[ rude another person dissing the uniform! ]

Just because there aren't any boys in girl scouts yet doesn't mean there can't be!

[ or so she assumes. ]

action;

[windplay.livejournal.com]

[ Oh Jade sis, he has a lot of questions to ask you. Nice ears, by the way! And timelines should stop being so darn confusing-

FUCK. No... it cannot be! ]

Jade. Jade. Why?

[ He leers at the contents of the wagon as if trying to burst it into the flames of his distaste. ]

Re: action;

[echidna]

Huh? [ and she is pretty confused, and a little concerned. ] What's wrong?

Action

[worstvikingever]

[DOG EARS. HOW DID SHE GET DOG EARS. He can't stop staring at them.]

Well first of all I'm not a girl, and second, you have dog ears.

[echidna]

[ excuse u!! ]

First of all, that doesn't mean you can't join, and second of all, yes I do, do you like them?

action;

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, I think I'm a little old for girl scouts, don't you?

[Mika is squinting hard at Jade's mouth as she struggles to hear her, her head and ears carefully bandaged. The way she's talking, it seems like she can't even hear herself speak, since it's...well. A little too loud.]

I don't remember seeing another person around here with ears like that.

[echidna]

Um, maybe? I don't think they should stop people from joining just because they're older though.

[ Jade notices this, but doesn't say anything about it just yet. ]

Oh yeah, that's because I just got them this morning.

Action

[misterwwizard.livejournal.com]

[Eridan's been... weird. Of course, he's been happy since things were going good, but the sudden droning made him really upset. He can do nothing upon seeing her but give her a gigantic, flying hug.]

A' course I'd make a good girl scout that party the other day totally showed me I could be rockin' a dress.

[echidna]

Eridan!

[ Jade is expecting such a hug, and is only sad that she isn't the one initiating. She returns it extra tight. ]

You wouldn't have to wear a dress! [ She laughs, nuzzling against him in an affectionate, moirailallegiance-y sort of way. ] I hope you didn't miss me too much.

phone

[naicha]

Ooh, that happened to me once a long, long time ago, you know! But when I came back to Mayfield, I still couldn't remember anything about it... Jade is kind of lucky in that way, I guess! 'Cause she still remembers her friends from the last time around, hehe.

[echidna]

You didn't remember being here before?
