Characters: Jade Harley (AU) & Sis Strider (AU)
Format: w/e
This log is: closed.
Location: Jade's room, Ice cream shops. YOU KNOW.
Summary: Jade is extremely baffled and upset at the arrivals this time around, and Sis is here to comfort her the best that she can.
Warnings: Sis Strider needs her own warning label.

It wasn't any different than any other time in Rakuen. The time where the train comes and drops off the new arrivals. Sis hadn't much cared to go see who was there this time as it usually gave off displeasing results. No one she knew, or cared to get to know. However it seems she had made a grave mistake not going to at least moderate the interactions.

A simple text from Jade with 'Sis can we go get Ice Cream?", followed by Sis responding "Where are you?" had circulated a response in less than a moment. She was out of bed and walking towards the prefect dorms like there was nothing standing in her way. She climbs a tree, leaps on to the top of the buildings and has successfully (not for the first time) snuck onto the prefects campus.

A little window off to the far side, and she's perched on a window sill, knocking. "Jade. Jade, let me in." Wouldn't want to get caught or anything.

Jade has been hiding under the covers for at least ten minutes; after meeting what was presumably the Jade who actually lived to tell the stories and then having her wrist sprained by a crazy guy with roboarms and a weird scar, she was pretty done with the day. Actually, she wanted some big sisterly advice, so she texted Sis. But that hasn't stopped her from hiding under the covers and sniffling.

She gathers up her crutches and hobbles to the window, opening it for Sis. The other girl is free to notice the new, spiffy brace on her wrist (thanks Jack!). "Hi."

[smupette]

She isn't even going to question what happened to her just yet. But here she is. Here Sis is just as she was requested. She was really adding to her good egg reputation wasn't she?

"Jade." Sis steps in the window and ushers Jade to sit back down. "What's the matter?"

[greenspaces]

Yes, she was. Sis, you are a good egg. Don't deny it.

"There's another Jade, I don't want to go outside, and Jack Noir broke my wrist." That about covers it.

[smupette]

"I see." Sis gently touches the wrist in question. Noting it to find this Jack Noir after she leaves here. Now on to the second portion of business.

"You don't want to go outside because there is another you?"

[greenspaces]

Jade shakes her head. There isn't much else she can say -- she doesn't want to go outside because she's a coward, because she hates feeling inferior to herself, because there's so much she doesn't understand and not even the clouds of Skaia can make sense of it any more.

"The alpha me."

[smupette]

"The alpha you? What exactly do you mean by that?"

But to Sis, this Jade was the real Jade. Whether or not she believed it or not. "I'm sure this other you doesn't want to establish some type of dominance over you. That seems farfetched, and completely out of line for another you."

[greenspaces]

"The one that didn't stop existing."

She shrugs. "I don't know. We're not the same person. She's not me."

okay yes i found a tag i didnt do >D

[smupette]

"You're existing right now, and to me that is all that matters." Jade was silly, and Sis knew she was probably overreacting or something. There wasn't any possible she just didn't exist.

"You're the real Jade to me."

[greenspaces]

"I won't at home, when we go home. Davesprite said when he went back in time to save Dave, we all just ceased to exist."

She scuffs her good toe on the ground, saying nothing more. As much as the sentiment should mean, she can't bring herself to recognize it as real.

[smupette]

"Neither will I. I'm dead Jade. I'm just as dead as you are not existing. We have to make the most out of the time this shit hole is giving us, wouldn't you say?"

On that note.

"I'm taking you out. Whenever Dave was upset as a child, I'd take him out for ice cream or a milkshake, how does tha sound?"

[greenspaces]

"I'm not going back." And there's a finality in her tone that makes it sound like she's dead set on this decision. "But...I'll help you make the most of the time anyway."

Jade looks a little startled, but nods. "Um. It sounds really nice. You'd do that?" She's never had a sibling or a parental figure around for long enough to do something like that, at least, not in a very long time.
