[ 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?

Wow awesome so who wins the 2010 Superbowl we can totally make major cash on this or better yet did you bring back any sports almanacs and hoverboards?

I didn't go that far into the future. Just a couple of hours overall, I think.

Damn guess I'll have to earn my living like an honest crow.

So I guess I never asked exactly when you came from so uh. When does that put you?

Where am I now? Well, I don't know how much I really can or should say, but we did it! The scratch, I mean.

Oh, sweet. And you escaped?

Of course!

John and everyone else too? And uh... the sprites? [ME?]

[ ahhhh now she knows which Dave she is talking to. ]

I would never leave you behind!

Oh, cool, though not sure how I'm getting there since last thing I remember was pretty close to the end and I was all the way down on Skaia's surface with Jadesprite.

She's not actually too bad once she stops whining and sets her mind to something.

Don't you worry about that, I have it all under control.

Yeah, she's... she's safe too.

Alright. I'll leave it to you, I guess.

Yeah? That's good. It's nice not being the only non-alpha body. Or like, not being the only furry.

[ Jade makes some sort of awkward throat clearing at that furry what who said anything about that why would anyone ever mention it how does he know anyway- ]

You can count on me, okay? I'm not going to let anyone down, here or there.

Who said anything about worrying you'd screw it up, I'm talking about Egbert can you even imagine how much could go wrong I would not let that boy near my turntables if my life depended on it I value those babies more than my own sweet feathery head.

So it's good to hear everyone got their shit together and we didn't all die in the Scratch or something. Sorry I couldn't contribute much at the end unless I did in which case you better say "thank you".

Hehe, yes, thank you very much because you helped us a whole lot!

Actually, Dave, are you busy doing any bird stuff right now?

Sweet wait you're probably just saying that and I fell for it like a sap fuck.

Well, I had a whole street of freshly washed cars to go mess up but I guess I can make time for you; you're still at Karkat's house?

Dave, it's me you're talking to.

Yes I am! And you don't have to call it Karkat's house, it's my house too!

Oh, right. Cool, I guess.

I know, I mean, but if you moved, then the new place would be your house, right? Should I come over, is that what you want, can't wait to see my orange feathery face again, huh?

Yes, you should come over as fast as your feathery wings can take you!

'lright, not like it's very far...

[iShades]

...as the crow flies.

[YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHokay he's probably at your house by the time you stop facepalming and tapping at the window]

[ oh man you can practically hear her rolling her eyes through the phone.

aaaand as soon as she hears the tapping she is quick to let him in. ]

Wow, that must be a world record or something.

Yeah, that's me, world's fastest crow, newspapers all want to oh hey you're a furry now.

I am not a furry.

You totally are you got ears and everything fuck where's a sharpie so I can draw some whiskers on you.

You couldn't even use a sharpie if you found one. Besides, these are dog ears, not cat ears.

Sure I could, crows are all about using tools.

And dogs have whiskers. I think. Didn't your hellbeast have them?
