❄ fifteenth reminder

[echidna]

[ phone ]

Um... [ This is not the usual bright, cheerful Jade speaking on the phone. She sounds exhausted and empty, and definitely like she just got done crying. ] I, sorry, I'm bothering you right now- I, um, just need-

[ She wails, somewhat dramatically, and the tears come again. ]

I can't do anything right...

[ mayfield high ]

[ The weather outside is cold and wintery, but inside the school the temperature is about as normal as it gets. Jade however, is completely bundled up from head to toe, trying to hide the new glowing green state of her body. A soft glow still emanates through her clothing, but she's doing her best to avoid notice. Occasionally a whimper escapes the moving pile of clothes, but she doesn't have much of anything to say. ]

[ around mayfield ]

[ She's less bundled up than before, having determined that trying to hide the horrible glowing is as unequivocally hopeless as everything else. It doesn't matter where she is, in a store, on the street, something manages to set off the water works and she finds herself reaching for the nearest dry think to wipe her tears and blow her nose - your shirt. ]

Comments

action probably at 1338 whooo knows!!

[miraculls]

[no, that's okay, Gamzee's shirt is baggy enough to be used as tissue paper and snot and tears are almost definitely not the worst things that it's seen]

Whoa, the motherfuck are these waterworks all being about now? Some dogg be doing a motherfucking grievous injustice onto you? [there's a slight growl to his last sentence - thanks to his own surgery and the inability to eat, Gamzee is currently about as sober as he can get]

[echidna]

[ oh noooo this is definitely someone she doesn't want to see. just that little growl in his voice draws out a frightened shriek from her. ]

No!

[ She let's go of his shirt and backs away quickly, looking panicked. ]

[Hilda's been exhausted by the various awful things happening to everyone around her, but as she's been at least left directly alone, she's been attempting to help anyone who doesn't seem to have gotten as lucky.]

Um... Aren't you hot like that?

[echidna]

[ Jade sniffles, adjusting her scarf slightly. Her answer is quite glum. ]

I'm fine.

[cawtier]

[Well, this bird has managed to at least avoid most of the bad shit happening... but when he sees a familiar green figure, he's totally swooping down on that]

Whoa, what the heck... Jadesprite!?

[echidna]

[ Oh no. This is the very wrong thing to say to her. ]

Jadesprite? [ She holds her hands in front of her face, as though just realizing that they're glowing green. ] I'm not- [ Aaaand she breaks off in a sob. ]

Action ☆ School?

[handsforhealing]

[ Winry can't help but notice one of the classmates she's used to seeing so cheerful is sort of... not. And she's all bundled up, making Winry worry that she's caught a cold or something.

So without much hesitation, she comes to investigate. ]

You okay? Are you cold?

[echidna]

[ Jade doesn't know Winry very well at all, but this actually works in her favor at the moment. She sniffles beneath her layers, shaking her head slightly. ]

Not really...

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup, half dragon (kind of) that he is now, is becoming ever more distrustful of people. So when Jade approaches, crying, he backs away slightly, his one wing twitching nervously.]

[echidna]

[ She's alarmed to see him like this, hugging herself protectively and eyeing him suspiciously. ]

Hiccup?

[beastorian]

Breathe, take your time. Try speaking once you've calmed. I'll stay on the line and wait for you.

[echidna]

[ Deep breaths. Okay, she can do that.




boo hoo.





boo hoo hoo.






Except no, it seems she cannot. ]

Sorry, I'm sorry...

[BLANKETS CANNOT HIDE YOU FROM JOHN] There you are! Geez, Jade, I've been looking for you alright? Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?

[echidna]

[ Blast!

As soon as she hears his voice she looks for an escape, but is unable to find one before he approaches. ]

No, [ She struggles to keep her voice even, but little whimpers escape as she speaks. ] I'm just fine and you should leave me alone.

[acuity]

[ ... h-hey, not on the shirt! she'll just fish out a handkerchief for you okay, will that help?! ]

[echidna]

[ Yes it will! Jade takes it with a muffled thank you, blowing her nose loudly into it. ]

Sorry...

Around Mayfield

[its_decided]

[Nozomi's just going to blink in surprise as the girl in front of her just used her shirt as an handkerchief.]

H-Hey... are you alright?

[echidna]

[ She's still holding on loosely to your shirt, just in case... ]

Um, no, not really.

around mayfield.

[godaime]

[ Oh god. Oh god. What was this girl doing to her clothes?! These were clothes she regained from home?! And this was in the hospital too so now she has to find a new jacket and sterilize this one! For now, she just freezes as she adjusts her head to try to see what just happened. ]

Oi, oi, what's going on? [ She defensively turns around to prevent any type of nose blowing from continuing. This is a hospital. If you need a tissue, you could have just asked. ]

[echidna]

I- [ Jade's sufficiently startled by this reaction, looking fearfully up at Tsunade. ] I'm sorry!

[ And here come the waterworks. ]

around mayfield.

[wweh]

[Well, there goes that shirt... Though, I guess it's okay, considering moirails and all that... Eridan doesn't really know what to say or do, and just instinctively wraps his arms around Jade.]

Been worried fuckin' sick about you thought I fuckin' lost you too...

[echidna]

[ No this is not okay. Jade has been distrustful of all her friends, but her moirail... she jerks away from him, looking distraught. She shouldn't be afraid of him, but- ]

Don't...

[notyetageneral]

[Tyve almost shoots her rifle at her foot as she is startled by the sudden accosting of part of her shirt as a tissue. What is this person doing sobbing all over in the middle of a war zone? On her shirt no less? Well, this girl can't be an enemy with the way she's carrying on...]

M-miss. You need to take cover.

[Civilians in the field, what do?]

[echidna]

Take cover?

[ Jade looks alarmed, looking around nervously. ]

Are you going to shoot me?!

[action, mayfield high]

[bullsit]

[Awkwardly patting her back??]

Oh, hey, I do not mean to alarm you, or anything, but you appear to be glowing?

[echidna]

[ Oh Tavros that was the very wrong thing to say. Jade lets out a wail. ]

I know that!
