[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]

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. ]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

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.]

[quarkylass]

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

[reddeadvirtuoso]

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

[quarkylass]

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

[reddeadvirtuoso]

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.]

[quarkylass]

No! [ SCANDALIZED. POSITIVELY SCANDALIZED. ] I just...merged with my dog! He was in my kernelsprite, and then I decided it would be a good idea to prototype my dead dreamself too...it was a horrible decision then, but I guess bringing her back to life was a good idea, since without my sprite she would have still been dead and I wouldn't be god tier! But...I also got the dog parts of the sprite. And the sprite parts. The first guardian parts, too.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Whoah.

[Whaaaaa--]

Wait. Was your dog a freaky radioactive cheating dog that stupidly overpowered the guy with the ring?

[quarkylass]

Yes. Why?

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Same thing happened in my session, only it was John's dog. It prototyped itself and shot the entire damn session to hell. He never got god tier though, so I guess he didn't get the chance to turn furry on us.

[quarkylass]

That happened to me, too. But thankfully my dead dreamself came alive again through prototyping, and then when I died and Jack placed me on my quest bed, we merged like we were supposed to!

I wish that you had gotten that, though.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

What, he actually put you on your own quest bed for you? When the fuck did he become such a gentleman? Seriously, I'm kind of feeling a little indignant here!

[quarkylass]

He was my dog! I guess he still had some sort of loyalty to me, because he couldn't kill me, either. Every time I got in his way of Dave, he would back away and try something else to get around me.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

So, he didn't attack you?

[Well, if this Jade was her equivalent of John, then... Maybe, when he went off to fight the Demon, he survived? Maybe he didn't end up getting killed trying to buy her some time!

She doesn't, really wanna voice those thoughts, but she does have a bit of a softer and more normal smile at the idea.]

Maybe it's not some weird radioactive devil beast.

[quarkylass]

Bec is a good dog, best friend forever!

[ AND SHE STILL BELIEVES IT AMEN HALLELUJAH. ]

And now that I've met him and been around him for a long time, Jack really isn't so bad either. You just have to get to know him, that's all.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

When I tried to get to know him, he just kept shanking me wit his nice greeting stick. So I think I'll take a pass on the bonding thing.
