☼ I'ᴍ ʀᴀᴅɪᴏᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ-ʀᴀᴅɪᴏᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ ☼

[spacecase]

Who: Jade and you!
When: July 23rd, midmorning
Where: Ever-loving PLAZA
Style: [brackets gooby]
Status: Open!


[Jade is not a stranger to shenanigans, of course not, her life is made of approximately 99.9% shenanigans. If there was a chemical element for shenanigans, it was probably contained in her ecto-biological makeup...and her ecto-brother's too, for that matter. Must be why he likes pranking so much.

Digressing aside, Jade was still not expecting to be tossed into water and thrown onto the ground! In fact, it was actually the opposite of what she was expecting considering she had just told John they'd be stuck on the Prospit ship for the next three years. Still, Jade's a trooper just the same and--automatic doggy reaction of shaking herself aside--she wasn't going to fuss about being wet.

Nothing can stop her from questioning what's going on, however.]

Hello? Helloooooo? John?

[No answer, maybe she could try finding him with her spacey thing? She closes her eyes to concentrate stretching her subconscious across the new area, but is surprised to find that she's immediately exhausted and has to lean back against whatever is behind her.

Of course, whatever is behind her has assorted spiney things on it and makes her jump back, barking defensively before she's even aware of the fact that A) her energy felt renewed and B) she was in public.]

WOOF WOOF WOO--...oh nooooo. Is that coral? Where am I?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Stupid uncooperative weather... Kanaya has not been happy with the lack of sun lately, and to compensate she's been visiting the coral a bit more often. Oh well. It was getting near enough to the time of the month when new arrivals started to appear, and she did enjoy helping them out. Oh look, there's one now. Kanaya was behind her, but could see she met the two primary characteristics of a fresh member of the city; confused and soaked.]

Excuse me miss, would you appreciate a towel and some answers to your questions?

[spacecase]

[Her ears flick back towards the source of the voice and Jade quickly turns around herself.]

Yes, please! I would appreciate it very mu--

[Wait a tick. Jade may be nearsighted, but she's fairly certain her glasses aren't blurry enough to mistake a regular person for someone with horns.]

Oh my gosh...are you a troll?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Kanaya is stunned with a sudden recognition. She's not the same as she last saw, but she knows this girl.]

Jade? Are you a furbeast?

[spacecase]

[This one knows her! And she's only spoken to a few female trolls for an extended period of time...and this one does have a distinct green symbol that matches the text color of a certain other space player.

Context clues are great!]

Kanaya! No, I--well--hehehe--It happened when I went god tier. I fused with a sprite that was originally my dead dreamself and my dog.

(1/2) I'll send Karkat at her later, probably

[waterkorrant]

[Korra, luckily, mostly doesn't have to worry about time shenanigans. At least not in the convoluted sense Jade is familiar with, which would probably make her poor head explode in frustration if she had to deal with it. Like, really? Time loops?? She's already part of a chain of reincarnation; that's more than enough.]

[Which isn't to say she doesn't have other worries. They're just not so much on her mind today as she's out walking, headed maybe to go get some practice in the park. The thing is, as she's passing through the Plaza, she hears barking. Barking which, oddly enough, doesn't quite sound like it came from a normal canine (as if her world is a good judge of that). Still, it's a sound that arrests her attention, and she turns curiously to look for its source--]

[But... that's a girl. Surely a girl wouldn't--no wait--are those--? Then again, she did talk to that drunk guy with the fur and the ears once, so maybe...]

[She edges closer, slinking around near the edge of the coral. Really, it's not a situation that necessarily needs stealth, but who wants to be gawked at by someone trying to figure out if they have dog ears? She just needs to find out, that's all. Then after that she can walk up to her and talk like a normal pers--]

(2/2)

[waterkorrant]

Oof!

[Tripped by a low branch of coral she didn't spot, Korra's usual athletic prowess fails her entirely as she falls forward into an ungainly heap on the ground.]

[Your name is JADE HARLEY. What will you do?]

[spacecase]

[ > Jade: Investigate UNGAINLY HEAP with concern.]

[Which means, yes, those dog ears are perked up and twitching with curiosity.]

--Hello! Are you okay?

[waterkorrant]

Mmmrph.

[Such is Korra's well-thought out answer, muffled against the cobblestone. She relocates her arms, the hands at the ends, and the other parts of the ground, then pushes up.]

Woah, you do have dog ears.

[Wait--]

Er--I mean, yes! Fine! Totally fine, no problem here, I just--tripped!

[Cough.]

[unconchonable]

Watheon.

[Yep, Eridan was making his way through the plaza when he spotted a familiar human and decided to watch her make a fool of herself, just standing a little bit off to the side. He might not have interacted with her much when she was here before, but he knew who she was: the ingrate that didn't appreciate his attempts in helping her, yes he's still buttmad about that even if it's been over a half sweep for him. He's staring at her, inspecting her with an expression that's almost judging.]

[spacecase]

[Nope, she didn't mishear him. Impossible to with doggy ears.

...But still.]

Huh?

[unconchonable]

That's where you are: Watheon.

[He crosses his arms over his chest as he continues to just stare down at her.]

You probably don't recognize me, seein' as you don't remember anythin' from here anyway, if you're askin' about it, but I'm Eridan Ampora, we'we spoken before, though for me it's been ower half a sweep.

[spacecase]

...Weren't you that one that kept hitting on me?

[shippingmath]

[Item number one: This girl looks a lot like Jake. The eyes, the hair, the teeth- it reminds him of both Jake and Jane.

Item number two: She actually has dog ears. It's so unbelievably anime, it's off the charts. Over nine thousand, even.

Based on those two things, there is pretty much no way he's not going to approach her. He's managed to change out of his soaked Derse pjs and into more usual clothes for him, and his hair is at least dry.

When he approaches her, he stops a foot or so beyond the usual conversational distance between people.]

This is Vatheon.

... You want a towel?

1/2

[spacecase]

[Item one and most important: He looks like Dave.

So when she turns to answer her greeter, she stops. Realization (and disappointment) that this isn't Dave dawns on her.]

[spacecase]

[...But then she realizes she's staring and, if it was even possible, reacts in an even more anime manner.]

Oh, yes please! Thank you!

[shippingmath]

Here.

[The pause at first might get a raised eyebrow, but it's kind of hard to tell behind the sunglasses. He'll be handing over the towel now. God, this anime cuteness is going to kill him. He is going to die of kawaii uguu.]

So what's up with those? [Gesturing to the dog ears.]

[spacecase]

[Ah, a towel! That's lovely, Jade has an awful lot of hair to dry, after all, and though space powers are convenient they apparently can't produce a dryer.]

I am not sure if I could explain it in a way that makes sense...but in the game I was playing with my friends, my dreamself died. Then my grandpa had her stuffed and mounted, which I used to prototype a new sprite a few years later that already had aspects of my dog.

Jadesprite was not very helpful, but since she was technically my dreamself I was able to become a fully realized Witch of Space, so that was nice.

[...She's...waiting for the inevitable "wat" reaction now.]

[hypervision]

[Normally he doesn't bother with new people too much since he has other things to worry about, but...that girl appears to have dog ears and is barking at things. That's really weird. So you get a little boy that's very curious to talk to you now.]

Hey, Onee-chan, why are you barking at the coral like that?

[spacecase]

Well--it...it surprised me, you see. I thought it might have been...someone attacking.

[Yes, someone attacking for the mere fact that she felt a poke in her back.]

And my name is Jade, not Onee-chan.

[hypervision]

[...Right. He's looking up at those dog ears now before he raises a hand and points to them--or rather, one of the handpuppets he's wearing on his hands points to it.]

Are those really dog ears? Or are they just fake to go with your outfit...

[spacecase]

They are most definitely real! [See, she'll even twitch them as an example.]

If you do not believe me, you can touch them if you want. Just don't pull, please.

[oceanbreasts]

[ She's clothed now, purple derse wear ditched in favor of something a little closer to what she's used to. Despite previous boasts, she wasn't quite ready to branch out and try new fashions just yet.

But she hasn't yet found herself comfortable to really leave the central area yet, either. She's lurking, hoping that maybe Jane or Jake will show up soon and make themselves known. That would pretty much be the best gift possible.

Instead, what she finds is... someone who looks an awful lot like some sort of strange dog lovechild of the two of them and Roxy's just. Staring. As the girl barks at the coral.

What. ]

Who're you?

[spacecase]

[Those dog lovechild ears are twitching right now, for sure. This person looks like Rose! She's not Rose, but...it's cheering to see.]

I am Jade! Jade Harley, although I suppose saying I am the Witch of Space would be accurate as well!

[oceanbreasts]

[ Jade. Not Jane. Close but... nope. Lame. ]

Rogue of Void...

[ The answer is sort of automatic, and Roxy has to shake her head to snap herself out of her awestruck stupor. ]

You're a player, then.

[spacecase]

And you are as well! This might sound a little strange, but you look a lot like a friend of mine.

It is very nice to meet you Ms. Rouge of Void.
