❄ 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. ]

[ 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?

Action, around Mayfield

Heheh, but I'm already a boyscout Jade!

[Then he notices the ears]

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

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]

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

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

[notwrongteous.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And it's really fun!

[And so he does, gently petting one of them.]

That's mathematical!

[Then he grins and scratches her behind one of the ears.]

[ofoz.livejournal.com]

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

[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]

That's right!

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

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

Being omniscient does give me the right to say "I know everything" and always will know everything. Congratulations on performing The Scratch and escaping.

[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. ]

[echidna]

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

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

lmfao that icon alsdfkj

[echidna]

Girl scouts is really fun too! [ she's just sad she didn't have a chance to recruit him first!! ]

Hehe, yeah, they are pretty cool. [ and that feels weirdly good but she straightens up and steps away before things can get awkward. ] I got them when I went home!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Nope. Never.]

Okay. I don't even want to be a boyscout. Why on earth would it be good for me to be a girlscout?

[echidna]

Um, thank you! You're pretty good at keeping secrets, I don't know if I'm going to be able to.

Heheh

[notwrongteous.livejournal.com]

I bet it is! Too bad I'm a boy though!

You went home?

[echidna]

[ we shall see about that. ]

Maybe it could teach you how to be a better person in general!

[ such a convincing argument.... ]

[ofoz.livejournal.com]

The girl scout spark, hm? I suppose I might have a little bit of that inside of me.

[echidna]

I think they would let boys join! [ she actually has no idea, but that's not going to stop her from asking boys. ]

Yeah, but it was so weird, I didn't remember being here at all.

[cueballer.livejournal.com]

The secret to keeping secrets is measuring how important it is to bite your tongue on an issue. Do you want to keep people waiting patiently, until they catch up the alpha timeline? Or would you rather spoil the outcome, potentially ruining the fun of it all? The latter does not matter so much, as no one remembers Mayfield upon leaving, but it is something to consider nonetheless.

Also, fair warning: your eyes are likely to sting for a while after you regain the powers of Earth's First Guardian. Teleporting through that green flare can be an eyesore to those who have the eyes to see it.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

...I would?

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

[notwrongteous.livejournal.com]

I'd join if I wasn't already in the boyscouts then!

Huh. That is weird!

[echidna]

You have my vote of confidence! You have five votes of confidence from me.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Well, he isn't finding this as funny at the moment.]

I'm fine how I am. I love how I am. There's no need to change it.

[echidna]

Aw, well, it's okay.

Yeah, and now I think I'm ahead of all my friends on the timeline, so it's extra confusing.

[notwrongteous.livejournal.com]

It sounds confusing! But at least you remember being here before you left, right?

[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?
