a flower pinata

hahaha a jaws theme sounds amazing!!!

[rhapsodeity]

[ if jade sees this text, she sure isnt responding!!! maybe she's busy. maybe she's really angry. who knows. (its the latter) ]

idk the date, its not important

[tearable]

[ You have a photo text message! You won't regret it. ]

i love them

2/3 text i forgot

[parodeity]

[ it's at night and they're both at their respective homes, home from founder's day, but. ]

guess who had another hallucination

[rhapsodeity]

[ actually, jade is with anya. she probably should have told dave they were having a sleep over??? jade brought stuffed animals and bbq and they did each other nails.

it takes a few minutes for her to respond. ]

fucking shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do not tell my mom i cursed because i dont have extra dollars to put in the swear jar right now but
are you okay?

action | post-founder's day

[constellates]

[It's time.

Slumber party.

They've made it back to Anya's house in Viea Village and she's immediately calling out "Mama?" in curiosity once she steps in, though it's not too long before she finds a note on the counter about her mother working the night shift at the hospital. There's a fond little shake of Anya's head and she shoots off a text to her beloved mama before turning her attention back to Jade, arms full of snacks and all.]

Mama will be out tonight - but she said she doesn't mind company! In fact, she says that she restocked the fridge with even more snacks for us since she knew you were coming over? [A brief little giggle. Anya loves her mother.] We can give her the cookies when she's back in the morning.

For now, the night is ours? [EXCITING she doesn't have company overnight all that often!] Can we do our nails first? They looked so pretty, I've been thinking about them all day!

[even getting caught up in string

riding chocobos

even then

there was the promise of galaxy nails]

ITS TIME

[rhapsodeity]

[ jade's a busy bee. the reason anya's carrying the snacks is because jade's got an overnight bag stuffed with all the essentials - a few astronomy documentaries, nail polish, stuffed animals, and there's a bag stuffed with tubberware in her free hand. barbecue, because anya deserves everything jade's hands can carry.

she isn't used to sleeping a house. she has a home, yes, but it is an apartment and there is still something kind of unique about steeping into a house. jade doesn't dislike her home, but even crashing into dave's bedroom in the strider residence leaves her feeling sort of displaced. her expression is tight, thoughtful, but there's a smile on her lips - it is as though she is thinking deeply.

she is, she supposes. maybe she'll ask for advice tonight. jade doesn't know; anya's been supportive but... ]

Of course!

[ the expression is wiped fresh, replaced with an open, honest grin. she's not really a girly diy sort of person - it might be more rose's schtick, though jade thinks that maybe rose is a little more tomboyish than her, secretly. as it stands, though, jade bursts through, searching for a room with a tv and table. they can hang out and talk over the sounds of narration about wormholes, she thinks. ]

I made sure to bring the prettiest nail jewels I could find! [ while jade's removing the items from her bag, her voice is chipper and clear. ] Although I'm not sure how steady my hand is... if you're okay with it, we'll just clean up as much as we can?

2/10

[gemgineer]

JADE ARE YOU THERE?
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
IT'S AN EMERGENCY!
I AM IN MORTAL PERIL

[rhapsodeity]

WHATS WRONG!!!!!
DO I BRING THE ALOE VERA OR MY GUN????????

2/11

[parodeity]

[ it shouldn't be too late when they all get back from the planetarium, actually. dave drove, and he and rose drop jade off at her place before heading home. dave, however, slides out of the car (tagging rose in as driver, but) to walk jade to her doorstep. the day has probably been universally awkward in some degrees because he's been a wreck since before they picked jade up and while he's good at pretending to be calm a lot of the time he's been...distracted? that's probably a good word. he's got two phone charms now, saturn and uranus, and someday maybe they'll all three go back and he'll acquire mars. so at least the day wasn't a complete bust.

even if dave's stomach has been in knots and he's been alternately quiet or too chatty about absolutely nothing and he's hyperfocused on rose just to keep himself steady, while his sister responded by spending more time with jade to force him to split his attention. his sister is a traitor.

and shit, he's been thinking about this for a week but he still doesn't know the best way to do it. dirk offered to deliver the damn thing, but dave thinks that's probably, you know, not the best idea, so before he like says goodbye entirely he stops jade with a hand to her arm, a light tap. ]

By the way, Wolf, got a mix for you. [ this isn't actually unusual. he's given her cds and cassette tapes and simple compilations of files over some chat client before. so when dave digs a cassette tape out of his pocket, plastic case included, and slides it into Jade's hands, there's literally nothing to indicate that it Matters.

his quick, nervous smile isn't too out of the ordinary either. side a is an innocuous misquote from sbahj, and so is side b when she finally flips it over someday. sort of. ]

Let me know what you think tomorrow, ok? I should go before Rose ditches me.

[ CLEARLY, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AFOOT HERE,,, shut up. but yeah SEE YOU LATER JADE, DAVE STRIDER IS OUT!!!!!!!! good luck with that. ]

1/idk stay where you are

[rhapsodeity]

[ it's not a bad time by any means and jade likes having the backseat to herself to and from the planetarium. it has been a long time since they've gone, and the trio walking through feels nostalgic. it doesn't really help the weight on her mind, but jade grins and bears it like she's been doing for a long, long time. it's actually not that hard - dave and rose are her best friends - it's easy to be melodramatic when you're seventeen and spent a weekend with a friend who repeatedly told you it's fine to think... certain things.

it's not a new experience to have a cassette shoved in her hands. actually, she's plenty familiar with cassettes. her mother doesn't collect them like she does vinyls, but they have a player and a few cassettes and jade knows that there's always a side b. consider also: jade wolf is constantly listening to carly rae jepsen's E•MO•TION, of which there is a companion album called E•MO•TION: Side B. she'll watch the striders peel out of the apartment complex, waving lightly, and then begins her trek upstairs. as she does, she flips the tape over in her hand and sees the other side's title. she doesn't think much of it.

she takes the player into the bathroom with her. it's not late, no. it's also sunday tomorrow, though, and jade usually does some grocery shopping in the mornings on sunday. there are better deals at the end of the week as opposed to the beginning of the week, after all. the tape is placed into it and she figures she might as well begin the arduous task of washing her hair. she can't imagine side a is longer than the time it'll take to wash and dry her hair. it's nine in the evening and jade lets it play.

and it's not that much different from the usual. dave likes his indie, and there's a few bands she's never heard before. maybe she'll ask him for more of certain artists when she finishes up, but there's still side b to listen to. he'd told her to tell him what she thought tomorrow, but if jade likes something, well. she can hardly not chase after it. it's like throwing your dog's favorite ball and expecting it not to play fetch. (also: no one tells jade wolf what to do. rule number one, strider.)

her hair is mostly towel dry by the time side a is finished. the verdict for "in my dream you are the star its you" is "excellent, as usual :D" but there's still side b. it's barely past ten thirty so jade figures her hair can air dry; it pretty much always does, anyway, because she gets distracted. no wonder dave has to tame the lion's mane for her. ]

2/12, woof fam meeting

[rhapsodeity]

[ jade waits until she hears the door to their apartment open; a telltale sign that her father is home from a long work day. tonight, thankfully, is one of the rare evenings he's done earlier than usual and capable of coming home when jade and elizabeth are awake. from her bedroom, she can hear the sounds of her family and she decides that even if it's literally been almost fifteen hours since the Episode with dave, she needs to tell her parents. she's definitely broken their trust once this month, so she figures she might as well be on her best behavior.

she just might have to bend the truth a little? when she texted elizabeth to tell her she'd be back from picking up her charms from the striders, it hadn't been charms she was picking up, though. she is gaining experience with white lies... to her mother. her father interrogates people for a living, though.

time to test those nerves of steel, wolf.

so jade puts her phone down, leaving it on her bed, to go join her parents, wherever they may be. ]

So, um.

[ she laces her fingers together, nervous. after a beat, jade continues. ] I kinda... need to tell you both something! It's pretty important to me that you both know about this.

[ please dont assume the worst ]

[puffing]

[ first you solicit the Wolf's shower to hobos and then decides to let loose some subtle lies? Jade is working in reverse, which makes sense. the girl is hardly the standard definition of a teenager by any stretch of the imagination.

Bigby does indeed arrive home from work in typical fashion ― he hangs his jacket and scarf on the wall, drops his keys and wallet on the table right next to it and is already quick at work in undoing his tie. he doesn't expect to be greeted by his wife or daughter in stereotypical fashion, so consider his brows going crooked in amusement when he finds Jade in the living room fidgeting about. ]

Uh... okay. Good to see you, too.

[ it doesn't take supernatural senses to notice something is off. Jade's maybe been a bit distant since Tablegate 2017, but that was mostly because of Bigby's disciplining. this is different. he waits for Elizabeth to join them wherever she may be, pecking her on her temple as a way of greeting before walking over to Jade, bending down, and doing the same to her forehead. ]

You better not have fucked anything else up, pumpkin.

[ said with about as singsong of a voice as Bigby Wolf can possibly muster. ]

2/13 text

[parodeity]

i dont think i want to pass this on, its incredibly depressing!

2/14.

[constellates]

[It's February 14th! Early enough before the blind dates have started, Anya was busy.

When Jade arrives at class, her gift is already waiting for her at her desk. You'll find a little pouch filled with heart-shaped macarons, about 6 or 7. There's a neat little card written in Anya's neat and short hand-writing:]

Happy Valentine's Day!
Please know that I adore you too.

- Anya ♡

[The macarons have their own little messages instead of the classic Sweetheart Conversations, customized based on whoever Anya's giving them to. This batch reads:]

LOVE
SUN
BESTIE
CONGRATS

[Except for just one that reads:]

CALLED IT

2/14

[goen]

[ Because his love for surprises outweighs his survival instinct, Yato breaks into the Wolf apartment yet again. But because Yato is not completely stupid, he only breaks into Jade's room.

Sometime in the day, Jade will find a little white box on her desk with a simple gift tag stating "From: Yato". Inside, she'll find three pretty little truffles of the same flavor: dark chocolate rosewater. If anyone is strangely meticulous enough to look at the bottom of one, they'll find a little three-pointed crown stamped into the chocolate. Otherwise, there's no real indicator that Yato made these himself; the taste and presentation is decidedly professional gourmet. ]

2/15 ?!!

[mercurio]

-Yuuko

P.S. I hope these don't actually kill you. Haha!
P.P.S. I wasn't sure if you were vegetarian or vegan so I made sure these were vegan, just in case.

text | 2/18 or /19 it's like 2 am

[constellates]

[sorry if you were sleeping jade but look, anya's having a small crisis over a dream

she thinks it was a dream?

she's not sure. but either way, it managed to shake her enough to keep her up. and so she's going to send this text that's probably more than a little bit out of the blue but well. she needs to talk through it with someone]

show business is hard, isn't it?
the singing and the dancing and the acting and everything
but I'm starting to think that
I might want to try?

[rhapsodeity]

[ jade was... definitely sleeping. not well, mind you, but. thankfully, jade's never the type to be mad if a friend messages her in the middle of the night, clearly looking for some advice. ]

i think most things in life can be difficult!
its not very easy studying all the time and there are a lot of times i become disappointed or frustrated...
in fact... i think if its something you put your whole self into, that makes it even more hard
but just because something is hard does not mean it is not fun or what you want to do
sometimes, the challenge is very fun and rewarding
i think that if you try and dont like it, its better than not trying and never knowing if its fun and rewarding for you
and, well, i believe that if there is anyone who can do it, its you <3

2/14 SLAMS DOWN TIME MACHINE

[parodeity]

[ so dave's definitely picking jade up the evening of valentine's. it's not, like, super late - more around five than the legitimate evening - and he's still nervous as fuck even though dirk said his plans were fine. they're not going out to dinner so much as they're going on a picnic - eventually. he's...not really dressed for what they are doing. dave's in black slacks and a black waistcoat and a red dress shirt. there's a red tie, because of fucking course there is. he cleans up nice when he's not in jeans and shirts, and valentines is a day you're supposed to clean up nice, isn't it?

he also has a bouquet of chrysanthemums and daisies, the flowers you told me months ago were her favorites. they're immediately thrust out at jade when she like, comes out. ]

Hey. You ready to go? [ how hard is he having to pretend he's not staring, hit me ]

if you listen close enough you can hear dr frank n furter in the distance

[rhapsodeity]

[ i cant believe you managed to remember her favorite flowers

jade's been busy getting ready since school let out and she's definitely going to have a lot of homework to review before class tomorrow, but there's a lot to tame, here. her hair alone took her a half hour, but it is exactly how she wanted it. by some happenstance the pair match; her nicest dress is a black number with a heart shaped keyhole over her chest (it's valentine's day and this is jade, there has to be a heart somewhere) and lace, see through sleeves that she's fairly positive she's never worn in front of dave. maybe he's seen in it her closet, but there's never been an occasion special enough to pull out the black lace. until now, that is.

roxy had advised her against giving dave a heart attack and she doesn't hope for that, necessarily, but it's still a little black dress that ends mid-thigh. the only red here is the strappy heels; jade complains every time she wears heels but this tonight she's determined not to. she's probably not dressed for their date but jade doesn't mind - the intention is to give him something to look at. it's not like jade doesn't look, herself.

and her hair is a masterpiece of lazy loose curls. she worked hard on that shit. an hour and a half sharing a tiny mirror while her mother caked on her make up for the night. ]

Oh!

[ the flowers are not new nor a surprise but that doesn't take away from them. it really doesn't matter how many times dave gives jade flowers, she loves them all and always hates when they inevitably die.

jade's carrying a bag, a simple non-descriptive brown one made of paper, but she takes the bouquet with a grin, shifting so that her wrist is carrying the bag. no, dave cannot carry it. you know exactly who that bag is intended for, dave. ]

Thank you, hehe. These are so pretty, I cannot wait to put them on my windowsill. [ like all the other flowers. SHE WANTS THEM TO GET SUN. ] I am definitely ready! What ever is on our itinerary? [ and. she is reaching out with her free hand. please hold her hand, jade loves nothing more on than planet than holding dave's hand. ]

2/24 and on another note.

[parodeity]

[ it's friday and dave catches jade at her locker and will lightning-quick (though not. flashstep quick) kiss her cheek before pretending he didn't, like, just do that. it's the end of the day, what's new with you? ]

Got a second for a belated cliche, babe?

[ that is an unclear question and could use some clarification, but dave proceeds to give..............no clarification. why is he like this. ]

[rhapsodeity]

[ he catches her in the middle of gathering her things from her locker, stuffing book after book into a backpack (pink with green polka dots, because if jade owns it, it has to be fun to look at, at least). for dave's sake, she won't call out the sudden cheek peck, and instead only turns to look up at him as if to ask "really?" it's unspoken, though. ]

Hello, Dave. Aaaaand, that depends on the cliche. Are you going to lean on my locker like a cool kid greaser?

[ which is just. lightly calling him out on the lack of clarification. are you asking for a date, trying to impress her, or aiming for some kind of pathetic romcom inspired gesture, here, dave ]

03/02 text

[parodeity]

hey i wont be in at school today
dirks calling me out and were doing some things
you know
brother bonding time

[rhapsodeity]

[ please give jade an award for not making a spn joke rn ]

we only have a few classes together today, so i cannot

DELIVERY

[catsudon]

( Strange. Haven't people been talking about getting these? You'll find a delivery from Retrospec at your home, or at some place you often frequent. Thank you, says Retrospec. For all you do.

Inside the box there is a single feline plushie. Tied around its neck is a bit of ribbon with a note: ♥ From Yuri's Angels. There is nothing else. The box from Retrospec, the plush kitty, and that note.

Congratulations. You are the lucky mistaken recipient of a Yuri's Angel Cat Plush. What a wonderful day this must be!!! )

[rhapsodeity]

[ jade has. no clue what this is but its not bouncing fruit so she'll take it?

it's placed next to all her other plushes (there's a lot of them) (she's not an adult so it's fine) and jade just kinda eventually has to ask the one question on her mind, so, eventually yuri gets this text from jade ]

hello, yuri!!!!!!!!
are you a spy???

[ because...charlie's angels... yuri's angels... ]

gently backdates to before the blackout smh @ me

[trueend]

A girl was home alone and she walked downstairs. Nothing was there, but she heard the littlest noise even though nothing was there. So she went back upstairs and climbed into bed. At 12.00 PM she woke up to find a little girl standing at the foot of her bed. The little girl slit her throat open and left her for dead. Nobody found her corpse for around 3 weeks and by then she really smelled! Send this to 3 people or else by 12PM you will see a dead girl at the foot of your bed!

[CONGRATS ON BEING LUCKY NUMBER THREE, JADE???]

oh my god yes

[rhapsodeity]

oh no
nooooooooooo

have you seen her?????

3/15 or whatever

[voideity]

hi jadey hope davey hasnt sent u any shitty chainletters

[ two minutes later ]

A sexy babe was home alone bc her parents fucked off to the movies and didnt take her because movie tickets are fuckin expensive and she walked downstairs to go and get some midnight snacks because FUCK YEAH midnight snacks like she did every night bc it doesnt matter if youre home alone, midnight stacks are ETERNAL. Nothing was there, but she made herself a sundae like two feet high and covered it in whipped cream and chocolate chips and cherries and those sweet tapioca balls that burst in ur mouth and went back upstairs to eat dessert in bed like the slob she is, basically sending out an embossed in gold leaf invitation to all ants in the universe to come n get it. At six am she woke up to find a little girl standing at the foot of her bed. The little girl was like sis why the fuck did you do this who the FUCK eats a sundae in bed there's choco syrup on my CAT oh MY GOD denise you ALWAYs do this i FUCKIN SWEAR, and then some ants with machine guns bust through the door and started shooting laser beams and they had to dive out the window in their jammies while their mom screams that its a school day and they start their sci fi action video game saga that can be bought on steam for 99cents during the holiday sale. Send this to 3 people or else around 6am in the fuckin mornin you'll become allergic to sundaes and then murdered by giant ants who fuck aliens and their LASER CANNON.

[rhapsodeity]

are the ants with machine guns normal sized ants or are they the giant ants who fuck aliens?
