❄ tenth reminder

[ 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. ]

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!

[ 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?

Oh, I get it! This is just a regular video game though. Well, not regular since it destroys worlds and then makes new ones.

[Lucas still doesn't know what a video game is, but he'll roll with it.]

But what about all of you? How could a game be so complicated to make real people and everything?

[echidna]

That, I don't really note. There's some complicated coding stuff involved, but I'm not exactly an expert on it.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Gosh. That's kind of...

[Lucas trails off a bit.]

I guess it doesn't matter so much how you were made. I mean, you're still people and everything. ...I wonder how they knew to make you so much like humans that already existed.

[pause]

Aside from the ears.

weeps why did I type note instead of know

[echidna]

[ She shrugs. ]

I don't know if they actually designed our world.

[ Jade laughs, touching one of her ears idly. ]

No, I'm pretty sure I'm the only human with ears like these.

I didn't even notice! ...Probably for the same reason I always mess up my small tags, though.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

...Creating isn't the same as designing? So... did you pick the ears for yourself, then?

[echidna]

I don't think so.

Nope, these are my dog's ears. I'm pretty sure about that, anyway.

...

[Jade seems to have a habit of saying peculiar things without explaining. Lucas will cough a little.]

And, um. Why do you have your dog's ears?

[He wouldn't want Boney's ears, come to think of it.]

[echidna]

[ welcome to the jade experience. ]

It's sort of complicated, and involves prototyping and dream selves and other weird stuff.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Exceedingly peculiar.]

...Maybe I'll ask Tavros about it sometime.

Um. So. ...What were we talking about before trolls creating the world, again?
