[text/action] forward dating to super early thurs morning + mid afternoon [video]
Dear Poppop,
After what happened the other night, I feel I need a little self reflection time.
If you could please keep an eye on Jake, Dirk and Aradia,
I would be incredibly grateful.
- Jane
To Dirk,
Please don't worry about me, Mr. Strider!
I felt like taking a short trip on my own,
and on a spur of the moment feeling, decided to leave early.
I will keep in touch!
- Jane
To Aradia,
I do hope it won't be much trouble to ask that you to keep Jake and Dirk out of trouble.
Jake with his sense of direction,
and Dirk with his sassy, cool attitude.
I will keep in touch,
so please don't worry!
- Jane
Jake,
I sincerely apologize for the way I behaved at the party,
it was absolutely terrible of me to let myself get so drunk.
I thought about my actions, and decided to take a small trip.
I will keep in touch, so don't worry about me.
- Jane

(action)
[Now that she was packed up and those notes were promptly placed on their respective doors, Jane made quick work of slipping on her boots and jacket. Very quietly, she slipped out the door and shut it even quieter, and led her small group of Pokemon towards the south end of town. On reaching the very edge, Jane moved and saddled up on her Deerling, two Growlithe moving in to flank her, and both strapped with two eggs each; Jane carried the last that had been on James' back.
Over the river and through the woods,
to nowhere in particular she goes..]

[It's much later in the day when the video feed gets bumped on, where Calli the Chikorita is wiggling the gear with her vines, holding it out of reach of a whining Shinx. In the background, there's sounds of ... a battle? Lou and James are in the middle of a tag team battle, taking on some wild Pokemon with Jane and judging from the sounds that continue, are doing quite well; Calli and Geoff continue playing tag with the gear for another good ten minutes, before there is some displeased barking.
Both little ones drop the gear and scurry away, where a Growlithe shows up on the feed and yaps at the screen some more. It's not much longer before Jane finally appears, looking.. well, all sorts of weary and tired. Giving the dog Pokemon a dubious look, she reaches down to get the gear.]
Comet, shush! No one is there!
[Rubbing one eye and looking at the screen again, Jane almost jumps out of her skin on seeing that red recording light. Smacking her hand over the camera, she fumbles a few minutes before it turns off.]
[Action]
Rolal got me another drink and, silly me, I drank it, and then kept drinking again without another thought. I almost kissed John, mistaking him for Jake, and then I.. I finally found Jake, and I kissed him. [IF SHE COULD HUNCH HER SHOULDERS MORE AND BURY HER FACE IN HER SCARF, SHE WOULD.]
Then when he looked confused to all hell, I ran off.
1/2
And what have we learned from this? When Bro says enough booze, he means enough fuckin' booze. I hope we've also learned not to take any goddamn drink from Roxanne. I thought you would've known better after our talk!
2/2
...Alright, I'm not gonna apologize for that, 'cuz you needed to hear it. But now I'm gonna say that it ain't entirely your fault, either. You weren't in your right head. You did some embarrassing things, but it's not the end of the world, and everything's gonna be fine.
[He takes in a deep breath.]
And upon further thought, maybe getting away really is a good idea. It'll give everybody some space and give you the chance to calm down and distance yourself from everything a while.
no subject
No, you're right. I really.. really should have stopped. I just wanted to get back to the point where I was having fun.
[With the mention of leaving, Jane just nods again, letting out a weak half laugh.] Exactly. I mean, after I ran off from Jake, I only got myself in another big pile of trouble by kissing my friend who likes wearing clown make-up, and then it starts to become a blur. There was something about building a cup fort with Rose, and I'm.. pretty certain it's why I woke up under the kitchen table.
[Aka: getting the hell out of here because wow.]
no subject
[Resisting urge to rub his temples. Headache getting worse. Man he's never felt more like a parent than he does right now, and it's an odd feeling. It just makes him feel old. Really. fucking. old.]
I... you- God, there's so much wrong with that statement that I can't even begin to figure out where to start. So maybe I'll just start with the part that really fucking jumps out at me. You kissed the clown. Isn't he like, I don't fucking know, way too old for you? You're gonna get the guy thrown in jail!
no subject
No? Gamzee is roughly my age, I believe. I suppose he said sweeps, but that's only a different measure of counting years. He's fourteen or fifteen in human years, if I'm counting right.
[Jane doesn't mean to do this as a talk back, because she feels guilty that it's about as soon as Bro offered to be her adult figure to take odd, adult topics to, she's gone and started causing trouble. In the end, she's looking back down at her lap.]
I'm sorry.
1/3?
........
...............
Did he... just hear right.]
2/3
He kissed a goddamn.
Kid.
Fuck his life.
Maybe she's wrong though. She has to be wrong. Please let her be wrong.]

Fuck cake, he never wants cake again. It can go burn in an oven for all he cares at this point. If he were to actually be thinking of cake right now. Because honestly he's not- he's thinking about how much he hates everything and augh. He'd done so well! So, so well. And the clown fucking ruined it.]
... Nope. Nooope. Everything is perfectly. fucking. fine. See, I'm responsible. I don't do anything I ain't supposed to under the influence.
[He just does it sober apparently.]
So. Anyway. Yeah. You kissed him. Well then. Alright.
[He doesn't even know what to say anymore, he just wants to crawl away forever. He feels so...
Dirty.]
threadjack; i'm sorry
[Yeah, don't mind him cutting in here with that could not give a single fuck less grin.]
I fail to see the motherfucking problem here.
no you aren't it's okay 8D
Oh, well I ... well I don't see a problem?
sobs bro just wants to die
What the fucking shit are you doing here?!
no subject
[Yeah, he's just gonna leave it at that. Because he's a sadist who likes scaring the fuck out of people for shits and giggles.]

no subject
[Please. Kill. Him.]
I cannot deal with this right now. Sburb? I can fucking handle that. I cannot handle this. In one fell swoop, the world of Pokemon became a bigger nightmare than that fucking game ever thought about being.
Are you really thirteen?? Just. Why the fuck didn't you tell me, you little shitstain?
no subject
You didn't ask. Didn't seem that motherfucking important. Don't get what you humans got on age issues, trolls get their mack on even with a couple dozen sweeps between them.
So. You two. Please continue /chinhands
Jane he's going to kill you
How the actual fuck was it not important? I don't care what the hell trolls do with each other. I ain't a pedo! You kinda made me one!
no subject
[And this is Gamzee looking somewhere between confused and curious. He's not worried about Jane's departure, Miracle will have no issues catching up with her later after all.]
And I didn't make you motherfucking shit. You humans gotta chill the motherfuck out.
