towerofanimus | 001 || so we didn't screw up as badly as we could've

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.]

[--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.....]

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 ]

It was fine...! [Blatant lies.

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

[ LETTING GO AND LOOKING REALLY SAD

look at those puppy eyes look at them ]

Don't you like hugs?

[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.

But...even Dave does hugs sometimes.

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

[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!!!]

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

Well, I'm not Dave. [HMPH.

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

What facility?

[ 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.

[TOO BAAAAAD]

I don't remember that part before the Scratch. You went somewhere else after the end of the game then?

It didn't happen in our universe. It was like coming here, but in a different place. I went there before here.

Weird. I came here right after the Sburb fiasco.

[Random moment of silence while she thinks about this universes are weird and dumb. And then eventually she shrugged.]

This place don't seem that bad at least, sans the freaky monsters. Although I think your double collars are clashing, to be honest.

I guess I just get to be extra tortured or something.

[ She shrugs back! Matching jadeshrugs. ] That's okay. I want to try taking the facility one off, now that I'm here. I heard that it hurts, though...

Maybe to make up for it we can have extra partying or something.

[ATTEMPT TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD...??]

Can you even take that one off around the deathcollar they give us here?

That would be fun. I haven't been to a party in a really long time!

[ She shakes her head. ] I tried to do the Space Thing on it, but it's made of something called Byzantium and it's impervious to magic. So I'll have to try and take it off with power tools or something...

That is just a travesty then.

[Not that she'd... actually been to a real party before shut up she's a 13 year old shut-in.

Jade squinted at the second collar as if that would somehow magically reveal its secrets to her.]

Can you fit a power saw in there? Because I gotta say, that sounds like a bad idea. And that's coming from me, Queen of Bad Ideadom.

Oh, I'm really good at bad ideas too! We match!

[Alright alright, she can't help but laugh at that.]

Then I guess we've safely identified at least one universal constant between all Jades. Good to know.

I bet we'll find a lot of others. There can't be that much that is completely different!

[ But she giggles, because what a thing to have in common. ]

Laughing at stupid shit, that's another.

[Normally a really un-cool thing to admit, but hey, it's already out in the open, and she doesn't mean it harshly or anything.]

Hm... [ Jade nods, as if considering this seriously. ] That's true. And...well, our name is Jade! And...wait, what's your SBURB title?

Witch of Time. Got the silky red PJs to prove it.

Then we're both Witches! I'm the Witch of Space, I got PJs and dog ears too.

What's with the dog ears, anyway? That a normal thing for space players, or are you just a huge furry.

[She'd been suspecting it for some time, tbh.]
