☼ 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?

(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.]

[spacecase]

Yes! I do have dog ears!

[And it makes her feel kawaii as fuck.]

This is just a recent development, however, so I'm still getting used to them.

[And wanting to chase cats and really enjoying having her ears scratched and so on.]

I do not want to take up your time with curiosity about my doggy stylings, but can you please tell me where I am?

[waterkorrant]

[That makes her feel a bit better, if this girl isn't taking it as rudeness. She reorients her legs a bit, then gets back to her feet. Her hands brush any dirt from her clothes as she speaks.]

I can't say I've ever heard of anyone with them at all... though I haven't heard of a lot of things I've seen here.

[Ahem.]

You're in Vatheon, and I'm not real sure where that is in relation to everything else. Besides the obvious part.

[She motions up at the dome; under the sea is the implication.]

But I can tell you that you're not in your own world anymore. Apparently it happens to a lot of people.

[spacecase]

[Vatheon...Vatheon...no, she can't recall being aware of such a place in her own universe. This must be a different one entirely then. Goodness, and she thought the space shenanigans were just limited to her session!]

I see...and if it happens to a lot of people, then it was not something I accidentally did. I can't stay here, though! My friends need me!

[waterkorrant]

[Korra frowns hearing that, hand going to rub at her upper arm.]

I'm afraid I can't help you with that. If there's a way to go back at will, I don't know it.

[spacecase]

...I think I know what John would say here; that means then we were brought to this place for some purpose and we have to slowly unravel Vatheon's terrible plot.

Then he would probably talk about how many movies that's been in.

[Regardless of the statement, she's starting to miss ecto-twin.]

I wonder if that means anyone else from our session is here?

[She realizes then she's thinking aloud (living alone most of your life does that to you) and she shakes her head apologetically.]

Thank you so much for your help! My name is Jade, I am not sure yet if any of my friends are here, but I hope we can be friends!

[waterkorrant]

What's a movie?

[??? Weird technology is a mystery.]

And I can't say I know about your "session" either... but there is a--one second--

[She digs through her pockets, soon producing a starfish-shaped device.]

This thing here! There's a list on it where you can see who's here from other worlds. So if that John guy is around, for instance, his name would be on there.

In any case, it's nice to meet you. My name's Korra, and I think I'd like that.

[She's got Bolin here, sure, and she's talked to some nice people, but making an actual friend sounds pretty refreshing.]

[spacecase]

It's a story that's told with moving pictures! I have not seen many of them given where I lived, but John--my brother--is an expert on them.

[Brother? Right, brother, it'd be easier to introduce John as her brother rather than "biologically related clone."]

[That communicator is certainly a new thing! Shaking her skirt causes one of her own to clatter onto the ground, which she immediately picks up and turns over in her hands.]

I suppose they intend for us to stay here a long time.

[waterkorrant]

Oh! So like a radio play, but with video?

[She's learned what that part is by now.]

[Once Jade has discovered and picked up her own SFC, she points to it.]

I can show you where the list is on there, if you need. I'm still learning how they work so you might have to ask someone else for more complicated stuff, but I know that much.

[Hmm...]

I can't say for sure. I know there's people who've been around longer than me - I've only been here a little under a month - but I don't really know what the whole story is.

[spacecase]

Yes, like the radio, exactly! If your world has the radio, perhaps they will invent television in time.

It's all right, technology and I are on very good terms!

[She did keep like four computers on her, after all. But a quick scan over of the list causes her to frown.]

I do recognize some names on here, but it seems that my friends are not here. The trolls are, but I don't really like talking to some of them...

[waterkorrant]

Hm, maybe?

[She shrugs. Technology is not her thing. With Jade's reassurance, however, she stuffs her SFC back in her pocket.]

[And soon enough, she raises an eyebrow.]

You know them already?

[spacecase]

Sort of. I've never actually met any of them in person before, but they used to pester me a lot over bigger communicators the past few years. Some of them were nice and helped us out with the game, but others were just big old douchebags.

[And one killed her grandpa and one was a fellow space player and one gave the universe cancer...]

I mean jerks, they were jerks.

[waterkorrant]

One of the ones I talked to definitely fits the jerk description. Plus arrogant. Kind of funny when you get the better of him, though.

[She makes a sound, a sort of half-laugh at his expense.]

The other one I talked to wasn't as bad, but I could barely understand what he said a lot of the time.

I only ever talked to them here, though, and I haven't met any in person yet.

[spacecase]

Hehehe--yes, some of them are very easy to troll right back. But I know the feeling, I could barely understand some of them a lot of the time too.

[Then again in her case that's because they were talking about things that hadn't happened yet.]

Well, you get used to them! I was actually going to meet with them for the first time when I was brought here. I guess now I don't have to wait to meet them.

[waterkorrant]

[Her trouble was with Gamzee. Hard to read, and hard to figure out his word patterns. Confusing all around.]

Hopefully I will, if I wind up talking to any in the future. But yeah, you should be able to. You can talk with them on that star thing too, if you don't come across them out here.

[spacecase]

I will probably not seek out most of them if it comes to that. I suppose for the rest of my friends I will just have to wait and see if they arrive.

[waterkorrant]

Hopefully the ones that find you are at least the tolerable ones.

[Considering she wanted to fight Eridan until Bolin got her to stop goading him on...]

So, good luck meeting the ones you do want to see.

But hey, you could use a towel, right? [She motions to a nearby storefront.] The locals here keep extras on hand, I guess, in case people show up like you did. My friend and I were soaked too when we showed up, so it helped.

[There's a short pause, then more cautiously, she offers:]

... I could probably try to dry you with my airbending too, but then again, I might accidentally blow your glasses away at the same time.

[spacecase]

Airbending? Does that mean you have windy powers? John has windy powers, too! Please can I see your windy powers?

[It's still a mystery how her glasses are even hanging on in the first place but She just grins at the mention of her glasses.]

Don't worry about that, they will stay in place. I have some bendy powers of my own.

[waterkorrant]

That's exactly what it means.

[She grins; having someone this excited about the ability is pretty heartening. And while she's not sure how the glasses would stay put, or what abilities Jade actually has... those aren't quite important in the present moment. She can ask in a bit.]

[Presently, she hmms, considering how to go about it. Just punching a blast of air at her would be a bit much (and probably knock her off her feet). So instead, she backs up a couple paces, and tries a sort of circling motion with her hands in front of her chest, ending with one palm directing the resultant stir of wind at Jade. Hopefully not too strong, but it has the sort of circular motions the art is based in.]
