I'm finishing up with work for the day, so no, not terribly. What did you need? If it's swimsuit advice, then I'll skip right to recommending something with a ruffled top and hip. It creates an illusion of curves. You're painfully lacking in those.
i dont need curves?! anyway its not about that at all but it IS about work you got a job too, right? so did i! i mean i cant really talk about it you know its kinda hush hush
[ no it isn't, but doesn't it sound like 10x more important when he says it that way? ]
Seeing as I had a rather physical encounter with your body and the impact with all those hard planes nearly killed me, I disagree. But anyway. Are you in trouble? I would have advised you against taking clearly shady jobs. You aren't being made to do anything immoral, are you?
oh you mean when i SAVED YOUR LIFE by using MY OWN BODY to cushion your fall?? but no! my jobs like the total opposite of that ok ok ill tell you since you wanna know so badly im part of the royal guard!! you know the ELITE royal guard dont tell anybody its pretty official business i mean you can tell some people esp if theyre pretty
Yes, that's the one. Was there another incident where I became closely acquainted with your body that I'm forgetting?
[But ah, she sees what this is now. Not a private message because or any need or urgency, just a teenage boy looking to chat and brag a little. Which, of course, means she can amp up the teasing.]
Hm. I suppose I have met some particularly pretty individuals here who might enjoy hearing tales of a lowly refugee rising up to become a valiant knight. Have you met Lavellan? Elves really do have an usual sort of beauty to them, even the men. It's comforting to know all the fantasy novels got it right. Or what about my roommate Aoi? For an adult man clinging desperately to his rebellious punk teen days, he has a nice face.
I feel like I should probably be offended by this. But the part of me that desperately want to teach you about the importance of matching your blacks is winning out. Dammit.
Hello Jade. I am wide awake, as is evidenced by the fact that I'm replying right now and we no longer have dreamselves to cheat with. And I could retaliate by asking if you've taken any random naps in the plant nursery yet, but I won't. I'm nice like that.
oh i dont think they could lose their charm for me!! i met so many people that i would have never met before because of them! ummm
[ This is rough, in a large variety of ways. There's a whole cornucopia of things that suck and thinking about the fact that she'd been under the Condensce's influence the last time she saw Rose in the Medium is ... at least fifty percent of them. Time with friends - time with Rose - was one of the things she can't help but feel was robbed from her before waking up on the Station.
There's a dip in response time, but Jade keeps typing and retyping and then deciding no, that's not good enough either before going into another spiel. ]
i should have said this earlier but rose :( im so sorry about what happened in the medium i wish... i had been stronger
[Rose's own rapid-fire respomses paise for a moment there as she tries to identify what this apology could possibly be about. After almost a minute of drawing a blank, however, she gives up.]
[ The fact that there's any kind of questioning going on here alarms Jade; she shouldn't, as far as she's aware, need to elaborate. It should be... understandable that she'd apologize for the entire "ruining everything they worked towards for the last three years" thing, right? ]
leeeeeets try this instead! the last thing i remember is jake knocking me down with a hopesplosion
[ If this doesn't work, the password system is being put back in place. Probably. She'll think about it. ]
[That incident on its own certainly isn't ringing any bells for Rose, and she sets herself to trying to think of any moments when something like that might have occurred without her having heard about it. During the fighting? Neither Jake nor Jade had mentioned anything remotely similar or even being involved in each other's battles at all, but a great deal had happened and they as a group hadn't had that much time to talk over all of it...]
I see. The last thing I remember is standing on the lotus platform with everyone while John opened the door to our new universe.
[ GIVE HER A MOMENT. On her side of the line, Jade buries her face in her hands and whispers, "why didnt i keep the password system!!" before responding. ]
what happened to the condensce???
[ Maybe... don't mention she was being mind controlled by Betty Crocker for the moment... Jade's debating it. Wouldn't it just stress Rose out even more? ]
[ Sleeping on the job, apparently!! Jade's opinion of their hosts has gone from "wait and see" to "are you actively trying to keep me from progressing in this game damn you" ]
i thought i punched daves bro into the incipisphere? how did he get back in time for roxy to get his sword?
I suspect our situations are more out of sync than just chronologically. If it was just a matter of coming from different points in the timeline, then one of us would have recognized the other's description of events as being something that occurred in the past. Unfortunately, that means one of us must be from an alternate timeline.
[A brief pause. She doesn't have to say that alternate timelines are doomed by nature. She's sure Jade knows, and it seems like twisting the knife to reiterate it. But the sad truth of the matter that probably does need saying...]
I think yours must be the alternate timeline. My abilities as Seer of Light let me see the path to the most fortuitous possible outcome, which by default would be the alpha timeline, and I was very careful about ensuring we remained on that path.
[ It really doesn't need to be said, no. Jade knows what she's going to say as soon as she reads the words "alternate timeline." It's easy to picture it, and then it's actually on her phone screen and her lips purse a bit.
As far as Jade knows, she's not dead.
Probably...?
She's alive right now, but if she was dead, she can't imagine it wouldn't have been deigned just. If that's the case, then... their session would be out their space player. Without a space player, then... ]
like i said you are one of the most reliable people i know! i guess it would just have to happen to one of us eventually :\ i would prefer it be me over you anyway
You're being terribly fatalist right now. Whatever version of myself existed in your timeline would have suffered the same end as you eventually. Just like the version of you in the timeline I came from was alive and well. Perhaps a bit battered after being apparently punched out by the white Jack Noir, but everything seemed to have worked out alright.
yes but... :( it is a little bit um difficult to deal with and i would rather that i deal with it and no one else the knowledge that you are from a doomed timeline that is and besides we do not know that for sure i think if there is anyone who could survive in that situation it would probably be the seer of light
hey wait why do i get knocked out in both timelines! seems kind of rude if you ask me!
[Oh, Rose is unfortunately aware of Jasprosesprite. She would just rather not think about or acknowledge Jasprosesprite.]
You have all too high an opinion of my abilities if you think I could escape the very rules which serve to keep our reality in check temporaly. At best, consider the fate of the version of myself from Davesprite's original timeline. I was able to absorb some of her memories, but she still ceased to exist. As for your trend if being knocked out, I suppose all I can say is: It keeps happening.
[ If only Jasprosesprite would wake up so Jade could be aware of her, too. Then this would really be a pity party. ]
actually i dont think that would be too far off from the abilities of a light player perhaps not in the traditional sense but i do not think light players are ones that can be written off so easily! if you put it like that i think we have more in common that we realize since we both have memories of doomed timelines :\ heheheh awww i miss dave :(
