❄ 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?

[woah, that was easy.]

With this!

[he turns around to show off the Proton Pack on his back, which he's been wearing all day since he got it in the mail. it's like some weird, blinking kind of security blanket, okay.]

[ ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it's so cool and sciency! ]

What is that? How does it work?

[prepare for science impact in 3, 2, 1...]

It's called a Proton Pack. See, ghosts manifest themselves with a form of psychokinetic energy - what we call PKE - that allows them to phase in and out of solid matter. PKE is negatively charged and so, in order to be able to make contact with them much less hold them in place, that energy needs to be neutralized with positive energy. What the Proton Pack does is concentrate protons through a miniature cyclotron and channel them into a positronic ionized stream that comes out through here.

[he unholsters the Neutrona Wand and raises it to show her.]

When the stream makes contact with the ghost, it holds them. As long as it's active, the entity won't be able to break out.

[...what a mouthful. he takes a deep breath.]

...That's it in a nutshell. Um...did any of that make sense?

[ Jade listens intently, looking incredibly interested. ]

Yeah, sort of. So you've got a whole particle accelerator in that thing? That's incredible.
