[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..]
--------------------------------------------------------------
(video)
[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.]

although you know im going to ecruteak for a little while right???
and also why is this a thing that needs doing
i mean
jane where did you go o_o
and why
text;private
I have been thinking about what happened at the party
and I really think I should just..
back off for a little while.
I'm just going south to Azalea town,
nowhere all that far.
I don't even know how to face Jake right now.
text;private PRETEND IT WAS ALWAYS SO
i dont know about dirk
i plan to be back before january is done though
and of course they can come with!
im heading there with sollux to check out the towers though
and of course you should do what you think is best
although
perhaps you should try to talk to jake?
[ She just got him to agree to maybe talk about his feelings to you guys, Jane. Seriously! ]
text;private NO IT'S OKAY HAHAHA
Wait, is he going to Azalea too?
Shit, no, he can't come here!
Please, please convince him to go with you.
I don't know,
all I would end up doing is apologizing
over and over and over.
[ruining plans, it's what i do 8Db]
text;private SHE WOULD HAVE TEXTED JADE SPECIFICALLY SO
that was the plan as it last stood?
i mean i can ask him if he wants to go to ecruteak
but im not sure if hes willing to sequence break to that degree!
jane you have nothing to apologize for!
no one knew that there were soporifics in the punch
i mean except mom
but she doesnt count in this scenario
text;private *jane? >w>
Make him go with you if you can!!
But I do!
He looked so confused and why not
Why the hell would a girl like me get the greatest guy ever?!
[Shaking her gear a little on her end? Yeah, maybe.]
text;private why do you get all my typoes
im asking him now dont worry
i mean there are towers there so he might be interested anyway
what do you mean a girl like you?
[ Jane should be pleased to know Jake can be convinced to sequence break for towers, by the by. ]
text;private *typos >:3 because i'm just that darn special!!
I'm so sorry.
Just.. plain Jane.
I like the mundane things like cooking and baking,
sitting in a comfortable chair with my nose in a book.
He's an explorer with a heart of gold.
Always kind and polite, and always looking for a new adventure.
[She will be pleased and all sorts of relieved to hear this. Also, oops, Aradia gets to learn human teenaged girl problems 101!!!]
text;private omg how does that even i can't
and i am borrowing a quirk for emphasis even!
jane you are anything but plain!
youre lovely and sweet and kind
and you are always willing to help out your friends!
jake is not the only one with a heart of gold
and cooking and baking are not as easy and mundane as you are making them out to be
text;private IT'SA ME, IMMA WINNERRRR
I really appreciate hearing all this.
I wish I could just accept it and get on that it's not a bad thing,
but it doesn't feel like I'm the type of girl he would be interested in.
I know Roxy only held off on flirting with him for me.
I should have just let her,
she's capable and fun and pretty.
text;private i blame you
until you hear what jake has to say about all of this!
right now youre just assuming what hes going to do and say
without giving him a chance to do or say anything
you know?
ill agree that roxys capable and fun and pretty
but its not a contest and the two of you both have your strong points jane
youre different but thats not a bad thing!
text;private hurrrrrr
but it's not hard to guess.
He's a bit of an open book, you know?
I just...
I don't want to throw my hopes up again
and laugh spontaneously into tears on the way down.
(God damned Ms. Lalonde, boozing me up when I wasn't looking!!!)
No, I know it isn't a contest,
but I seem stuck on the matter.
text;private
jane
maybe a little time away will do you good!
but i do think that you should talk to jake about it.
before all the unsaid things ruin things?
text;private
Then talking to him.
It just seems like a terrible idea on top of a good intentioned one.
But maybe it seems that way to me because I'm afraid.
text;private
so he didnt really
respond
i think youre overthinking it
and there is no reason for you to be afraid
okay?
text;private
No, there isn't,
but I feel like the answer is going to hurt someone.
Maybe not me,
but Dirk.
text;private
and i think it is probable that theres a solution that will make everyone happy
if anyone can find that solution its a page of hope
text;private
if only to let myself relax.
But thank you.
text;private
just be sure to text me updates about your trip okay?
