[ The feed switches on to a freshly bathed and groomed Jade, who looks much better than she had previously. Her hair's brushed and washed, and her face is less sunburned. ]

Um...hi.

[ A smile, and she steps back from the camera enough so that everyone can see what she's wearing. ]

Kanaya made me new dresses. They're really pretty.

[ It's blue, with long princess sleeves that might look silly on another girl but look perfect on Jade. The bandages still cover her hands, however. With form-fitting clothing it's easy to tell that she's still malnourished; her body looks too fragile and small for a thirteen year old girl. ]

I wanted to know whose idea the ice cream was. And if anyone wanted to try mixing the ice creams together with me?

[ The collar might be affecting her positively! She seems a lot happier than normal. ]

It'll be fun, I promise. If you want to, you should let me know and meet me in the cafeteria.

[Hi Jade, have a bright-eyed, horned girl peering at you curiously.]

Why are you mixing them?

[video]

[quarkylass]

[ A grin. ]

Because they're better that way!

[video]

[timegame.livejournal.com]

If you say so! Did you want to mix them during lunch or when?

[video]

[quarkylass]

Sure, if you want to. Oh-- you're the dancing troll, right?

[video]

[timegame.livejournal.com]

One of them! I'm Aradia!

[video]

[quarkylass]

Nice to meet you! I didn't know trolls liked ice cream.

[timegame.livejournal.com]

[lol Jade, u so funny]

We like a lot of things you'd probably be surprised to hear about!

[video]

[quarkylass]

Like what?

[video]

[timegame.livejournal.com]

Like... um...

[ponderponder]

Oh! Roleplaying! Hee!

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

It looks lovely on you, Jade. Would you perhaps care for me to knit you something for your new wardrobe?

video

[quarkylass]

[ A blush! ]

Um, thanks Rose. If you want to, you don't have to...

video

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

Of course I would like to make something for one of my friends, Jade. What would you care for?

video

[quarkylass]

[ She considers this very carefully. Then nods. ]

Um....either a hat or... [ Holding up her hands. ] Gloves with no fingers. If you can make those, I mean, you don't have to.

[tortileghostwriter]

[... wait, what?]

Jade... Harley, then.

[he'd heard about it but it didn't make it any less fucking weird.]

video

[quarkylass]

[ He's glaring at her, what did she do? That self-confidence is slowly fading away now thx ]

Y-Yeah, that's me...um. [ ... ] You look like Dave.

video

[tortileghostwriter]

[everyone gets that glare. it's kind of default.

though he is getting a little conscious of it now. his expression softens a little. definitely noticing the...fact she looks a little malnourished, more fragile, and those bandages...huh.

also ignoring the "Dave" thing for now. when he speaks again it's not quite as harsh.]

I am Dave. Just. How do I word this simply...

[not even meant in a denigrating way, just out of a desire to avoid explaining time-space shenanigans.]

video

[quarkylass]

[ She softens from her scared expression, just a bit. At least, she thinks she understands. ]

You're another Jade's Dave.

video

[tortileghostwriter]

[He extends a hand towards the screen briefly in a sort of "there you go" gesture. Good, she got it.]

Yes.

video

[quarkylass]

[ That's okay. She already has her Dave -- though he's orange now, and it's strange and unfamiliar. She smiles slightly at the screen. ]

Then it's nice to meet you. I'm Jade Harley.

video

[parappa-strider.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a big thumbs up.]

Hey, that dress looks pretty rad, Jade. How many did she make you? Maybe she can make me some rad duds, too.

video

[quarkylass]

[ o//////////o

O/////////O!!!!!! ]

Oh thanks Dave, I mean, I think they're really nice too but I'm glad you like them and -- [ oh god she's rambling slow your horses Jade ] just a few. Two or three, I think. And then I have my prospit dress, but I don't want to get it dirty.

video

[parappa-strider.livejournal.com]

[She gets a small smirk.]

I'm sure they're awesome. I've only got two red-sleeved shirts here, some black jeans, and then a pair of Derse duds. What do the other ones look like?

video

[quarkylass]

They're really pretty. One is shorter, and green...and then this one. And I think Rose wanted to make me something, too.

[ O-oh a Dave smile. ]

We match. The Derse and Prospit things, I mean.

video

[parappa-strider.livejournal.com]

I think technically we'd be opposite if we got into our Derse and Propsit pajamas. Rose has her Derse threads too, I bet Egbert's got his Prospit ones. Hell, we could have the most ironic fuckin' pajama party in the history of pajama parties.

[Karkat hadn't really been paying attention to Jade when she came to fix Terezi -- he was too busy flipping out over the stitches to really focus on anything else.

So when he sees her now, he can't help but wrinkle his nose a little. Damn, even John wasn't that pathetic looking. What happened to this girl?]

Stuff's too sweet for me. The outfit's not bad though.

[video]

[quarkylass]

[ blush!!! This karkat is infinitely better than her karkat at home. ]

That's okay. I can't eat a lot of it or I'll get sick, but...I really like it. And thanks, I love blue.

[video]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

No offense, but you look like you could use it.

[Inadvertent ego boosting: it just happened. The blue compliment causes a smug sort of grin to stretch on his face.]

Yeah, it's a pretty legit color.

[video]

[quarkylass]

I know. [ She looks down at herself and smooths her dress out. ] It's hard, though.

I wear it all the time.

[video]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

You've got good taste.

[He's still curious about that first part, though, so he slides his tongue across his teeth in thought before speaking again.]

Can't be that hard, can it?

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

You look really pretty in the dress! Also I wanted ice cream but I didn't put anything in the suggestion box!

[quarkylass]

Thanks. I still don't know why she made it for me, but it was really nice of her. [ A small smile. ] That's okay. Do you want to mix flavors with me?

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

We should mix all the flavors!

[quarkylass]

Okay. I like that idea a lot.

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

A little bit of everything but a lot of chocolate!

[quarkylass]

That sounds yummy. I like the orange ice cream.

[video] late........

[knightofmind.livejournal.com]

[Sup Jade, it's your favorite teal bull troll.]

...Mixing them?

[video] /touches....

[quarkylass]

[ Blush! ]

Y-yeah. So you take chocolate and vanilla, and mix them...

[video] /wiggles...

[knightofmind.livejournal.com]

[Head tilt!]

Oh, that does seem...rather interesting.
