[reddeadvirtuoso]

Characters: Jade Strider and all of the people
Setting: Room 2-01, Floor 30, Cafeteria
Format: Starting action, but I'll do whatever!
Summary: Jade wakes up in the tower, and has quite the day before she finally makes it to the network terminals.
Warnings: Probably foul language and violence against generic Tower monsters, will update if needed

[Room 2-01]
[Her waking up is rather uneventful. One minute she'd dragging some needles across a giant disc while talking on and off to Eridan, the next minute she's... well, asleep apparently. It's admittedly a bit blurry and blinding since she doesn't have her sunglasses on, so those are the first thing she reaches for.

She simply skims the letters without much of a care (yeah yeah the world is over she's got it whatever), and she makes her way towards the trunk at the end of her bend. She quickly wrestles the white suit off to put on her pants and red atom shirt (she didn't really feel up to Godliness at the moment), and starts shuffling through the trunk for the rest of her belongings.]

[Floor 30-- Perpetual Nighttime]
[In a dramatic stroke of Jade Strider Luck, Jade ended up falling plop down on the floor when the staircase fell, letting out an unceremonious yelp. She recovered quick enough, standing up and... it was a toss up between looking at everything tinted dark and looking at everything blurry, so she hazarded a chance her eyesight might've improved with the whole god tier thing, and propper the sunglasses up on her forehead.

Not that it... helped much, so she just opted to keep walking until she found the staircase. And that was when she noticed she stepped on something and holy shit ow her foot ow ow ow-]

What the--!! [She'd been smart enough at least to bring her gun with her, and immediatelly whipped it out while she tied to clumsily jump away from whatever was at her feet, and started shooting blindly at where she thought the black blob of evil might be.]

[Floor One-- Cafeteria]
[It was quite the trial to actually get down to the cafeteria, and she had dutifully eaten the oatmeal she had been handed because son of a bitch she was hungry. The oatmeal wasn't quite enough to satiate her appetite for the moment though, and now she had an...interesting looking egg in front of her. And it was black and shiney and she was pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be.

Right now she was just kind of poking it and looking at it distastefully.]

[quarkylass]

[ It's like they're the same person just with alternate guardians or something!! Gosh! ]

Is it good?

[ Jade looks somewhere between ready to do CPR and ready to bitchslap the egg on the table. ]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[What an utterly preposterous supposition, and certainly not one Jade is entertaining.]

....

[Speaking of Jade, she's just kind of....silent.

And then eventually turns away to spit out the food in her mouth and onto the floor.]

No.

[quarkylass]

[ Blech. Jade looks at it, then covers her eyes up because ewwwww Jadespit. ]

Maybe you should get something else... [ And conveniently on time, her tummy rumbles. ] I should get something too!

Oh, I'm Jade. It's nice to meet you!

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[We assure you that Jadespit is 100% nontoxic.]

Most of the other crap here looked just about as appetizing. [She says as she slouches, though he tone of voice remains relatively the same.

Except wait a minute.]

I'm Jade too. [Well that was certainly a odd coincidence, and she looked at the-other-Jade with something that might be a perplexed look if the giant sunglasses didn't hide half her face.] Jade Strider.

[quarkylass]

[ Unfortunately Jade has no such sunglasses, so JStri gets a bewildered stare.

Is she for serious???? ] I'm Jade Harley.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[S T A R I N G except through her shades but still staring. It's the thought that counts.]

Do you happen to had some long lost movie-loving dork brother with a demonic radioactive dog that lives in the middle of butts nowhere and spends all day sleeping?

[Serious question here.]

[quarkylass]

That sounds a lot like me! Except I don't watch that many movies, I mostly just watch Squiddles. But I haven't done a lot of sleeping all day since my dreamself died.

[ . . . ]

Do you know Dave Strider? He's really cool, and got a pair of Stiller shades for his birthday, and draws silly comics and makes mixes?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

That...sounds a lot like me. But the Dave I know goes by Lalonde.

[UUUHHHHH???]

John's dreamself kicked it too. [....Wait.] Wait, so you played Sburb too?

[quarkylass]

The John I know is an Egbert! He has a Dad and hates cake.

[ UHHHHH..... ]

Yes! Until we broke through the fourth wall and John scratched the session...but not in that order. You really did too?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

The Egbert I know goes by Rose. She's all cuckoo for Chose Your Own Adventure books.

[WE HAVE A SEVERE SHORTAGE OF NECESSARY UUUHHHHH HERE]

Yeah, we did. Total catastrophe though. We scratched too, but that was my job-- my John went off to try and confront that crazy fucker that was knifing everyone. Don't know anything about this fourth wall though.

[quarkylass]

My Rose likes books about wizards, and psychoanalyzing people. I think she thinks she can read people's minds if we tell her about our families!

[ YUP ]

Ours wasn't so bad! Other than Rose trying to go on a suicide mission all by herself, but Dave stopped her and they both went god tier instead. No one died...well, except the twelve doomed Daves...

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Sounds like my Dave. But he's obsessed with some weird totally-not-lovecraft books. And his mindreading is total magicky bullshit.

Ours.... [...Errrrrrr] sucked. So yeah.

[quarkylass]

Oh no! [ D: ] What happened? Are you all okay?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[Just gonna kind of...slowly slide the plate away so she could cross her arms on the table and hunch over and hide the bottom half of her head in the nook of her arms.]

After I went god tier, Dave flipped his shit and opted for a new grimdork makeover, Rose died a most heroic of deaths saving our sorry asses, and after he gave me the quills, went off to confront the demonic bastard that ruined everything to give me enough time to scratch.

[tl;dr we fucked up.]

[quarkylass]

Rose did that too, but before we all went god tier. She did it because her mom died.

[ BUT NOW YOU GET A HUG ] I'm so sorry.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[--WHOAH WHOAH SUDDENLY HUGGING WAS HAPPENING?? This Jade is just gonna kind of. Awkwardly stiffen up. Yeeeaaah.]

Uh. Why?

[CAN YOU LET GO THIS IS REALLY WEIRD.....]

[quarkylass]

Because that sounds horrible!

[ GOOD THING SHE'S USED TO DAVES DOING THAT OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE TERRIBLY AWKWARD

also not letting go until you hug back jsyk ]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

It was fine...! [Blatant lies.

And nope, she is just going to still be stiff and try to pull awy this is really embarrassing!!]

[quarkylass]

[ LETTING GO AND LOOKING REALLY SAD

look at those puppy eyes look at them ]

Don't you like hugs?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[PHEW the hug was gone that's cool just gonna casually readjust shades so she doesn't feel bad about making her sad whoops.]

Nah, too touchy feely. That's dangerously close to Sapsville, and I'm a proud non-resident of that population.

[quarkylass]

But...even Dave does hugs sometimes.

[ Wow her face is so sad, who ever heard of a Jade that didn't like hugs? ]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[STOP BEING SAD DAMN YOU]

My Dave don't. [Eridan didn't either, they were way too cool for that stuff.]

[Just gonna...shrug really awkwardly now!!!]

[quarkylass]

I meant my Dave from facility. I don't think the Dave at home ever did.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Well, I'm not Dave. [HMPH.

you know what would be awesome right now A TOPIC CHANGE]

What facility?

[quarkylass]

[ WOW YOU KNOW WHAT SHE WAS TRYING TO AVOID??? This subject. ]

It's not a big deal. It's just a place in space, I guess it's gone now...it's where I got this collar from.

[ Slides a finger under the slender black collar that rests below her other one. ] We were trapped there, we couldn't go home. But it wasn't so bad, when things weren't going completely crazy.
