[ 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?

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?

[naicha]

Hmm, no. I arrived in Mayfield last year, but... no matter what, I can't remember anything that happened to me before that! Even though people were sure they saw me...

But lots more remember their time here when they come back, too, you know! Just like you!

[echidna]

Oh, that sort of thing happened to me too, when I first got here. Everyone said I was here before but I didn't remember any of it. Maybe that was the same thing?

[naicha]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! It's too bad, though... I bet there were a lot of people I was friends with before, but I've lost almost all of them now.

Anyway! People going home does happen a lot! But most of the time they don't come back. That's why Jade is very lucky!
