[His head perks up a little at the sound of her voice and then, once he realizes it's Jade, he just drops it back to the floor. She's seen him in way more embarrassing situations at this point, so he just lets it go.]

Fine. Totally fine. One hundred percent unharmed, with an equally fine view of a cold ass linoleum floor. [Is there linoleum in space? Does Davesprite actually care?]

Never before have I seen a floor so fucking cold and radically uncomfortable and I've been privy to a face full of innumerable fine floors. I've got a PhD in that shit and I could write you a dissertation on how it's living up to its name.

[He says this all more or less to the aforementioned floor, before he finally fixes himself into a sitting position. There's a beat as he stares blankly at the room.]

Ok, this is new.

[thebarkside]

[ she laughs a little bit before she can help it, even if the sound is still weirdly nervous. she's waiting for some sort of clue, here, as to what the last thing he remembers might be. ]

We're not on our ship. I'm not piloting this one, I mean. We've got comm devices, but I don't know who any of the people. It's a whole new world, it seems like.

[feathery]

[If it makes Jade feel any better, it's probably more obvious he's wearing a hoodie and a pair of jeans he owned in Asgard, now that he's no longer tucked into a bunk. He's also wearing his bracelet, useless trinket it may now be.

He shoots her a slightly odd look at the nervousness. It makes him review his most recent memories as he climbs to his feet (and it might be pretty telling he doesn't seem surprised by their presence at all).]

Oh, sweet. [Another beat.] Wait, no, we were supposed to go back to our own world. Reality. Whatever you wanna call our frogiverse fuckitude. [He shoots her another look and then one down at himself. Legs.]

What the fuck?

[thebarkside]

Yeah.

[ yep, she recognizes those clothes, and she's relaxing when she spots them and the bracelet. jade, for her part, has just materialized her godtier jammies again, and she walks past him to peer out the window. ]

I can't teleport past the walls of the ship. Or even materialize through it.

[feathery]

[The god tier jammies make everything so much weirder.

This time, it's his turn to be suspicious and he trails after her.]

Wait, so you got your powers back. [Uhhh.] Did you ever. Uh. Lose your powers.

[At least she's not looking at him like davesprite, what happened you, have legs now :o also this is the first time i've seen you in like a year?????? Christ, that makes him feel awkward.]

[thebarkside]

[ hahahaha jade is just assuming they're on the same page now... let's fly with a brief moment of dramatic irony when she glances back at him and concludes that he's talking about her powers from asgard. ]

Ummm. No, I don't think so? I can still feel them, I just can't access them right now. What about you?

that was certainly an odd place to move that comma

[feathery]

[Davesprite's thought process on this can just about be summed up as "??????????????????????????????"]

Yes? [That's a "Yes, I lost my powers."] I mean the fact I'm walking around here sans sprite-tail and the dayglo is kind of an indicator of that.

[It hasn't even occurred to him to try to do a sprite thing. Or notice his sense of time is suddenly impeccable again. He just woke up, ok.]

was it

[thebarkside]

Neither of those things necessarily mean you've lost your powers.

[ especially his... shadow powers? she turns to look at him, squinting in confusion. ]

Besides, why would I keep my powers and not you?

it really was

[feathery]

I dunno, it's not like you needed a complete physical overhaul to function like a normal person.

[He remains oblivious to the fact they are having two completely different conversations.]

If you even did. What's the last thing you remember. [Should he leave...]

[thebarkside]

[ she raps her knuckles on the glass of the window, making a quiet and disappointed sound, before she finally glances at him again. ]

Um. Feeding Osiris and going to bed? But in general, I was gonna be heading to Vanaheim soon... Ugh. Do you think this means they pulled us before the war was over?

[feathery]

[How many times has Jade gone to Vanaheim? Davesprite has no idea. But hey, at least she remembers Asgard for sure.]

What do you mean before the war was over. The war is over. [Said with faintly nettled conviction.]

...Right? That didn't change none, did it.

[And then, belatedly, like he suddenly realizes timelines may still mean jack shit:] Spoilers, maybe. Whoops.

[thebarkside]

Is it? Oh, good. I'm not from - I don't remember it ending. I mean, I remember the war ending, I know we got Thiazi, but I wasn't really sure if we were going to find a way to salvage the World Tree or not, and that was really the big question, right?

[ but she smiles slightly at him, before reaching forward to try to take his wrist. or, well, his bracelet, more like. does his work? because hers sure doesn't. ]

I think spoilers are okay.

[feathery]

Ok, well, suffice to say the World Tree was salvaged from becoming metaphysical lumber and I guess all the world-leaves that were MIA came back all "j/k, guys, we were just pulling a fast one on you."

[He's amenable enough to the wrist-taking. That bracelet is dead, man.]

I guess that means we don't need these useless trinkets anymore.

[thebarkside]

Good. Jeez, how many layers am I gonna be stuck in? Clearly I'm not gonna remember this place if I'm not finished in Asgard yet, then I won't remember Asgard at home... bluh.

[ that gets a frown from her, though. ]

You're not gonna keep it?

[feathery]

[He looks up at her, eyebrow arched, with his face still tilted towards the bracelet.]

Are you gonna keep yours?

[He sounds a little doubtful.

Spoilers, he isn't going to permachuck it. Just probably toss it, groan, and then reluctantly pick it back up and hide it somewhere.]

[thebarkside]

Yeah. Of course.

[ even if... she sounds a little doubtful, too. ]

I don't want to forget. Especially if we're the only people from there here. Do you want me to hold onto yours?

[feathery]

[Ok, he actually thinks about that for a second. If he hands it over to anyone, it would be Jade, after all.

He shrugs.]

If you want to. [Here, Jade, have a shiny silver bracelet with a red stone to match your pretty green one.] But speaking of layers, do you remember anything new from whatever was going on back in the Medium. Be hell of a thing if that happened.

[thebarkside]

[ takes the bracelet from him, sliding it immediately onto her wrist alongside hers, and wiggles her hand just enough to make them softly clink together. ]

Just let me know if you ever want it back, okay? And nuh-uh. The last thing I remember is still just, um. Terrorizing people, mostly.

[feathery]

Right, mind control a la the fuckin' purple fishqueen trollbitch.

[Said flat, with a hint of distaste. He leans to stare out the window, takes a quick look around, and then stares out the window again. Real, actual space just feels different from wherever they were in the void.]

So. Space. Do you remember how we got here. Or why we're here. Maybe check if there's a nice planet around that's got a beach for a vacation from any cataclysmic events.

[thebarkside]

No. But I know how to pilot the ships, and I know how to use the communicators, which is more than Asgard ever did for us.

[ she reaches up to gently touch the back of her neck, frowning thoughtfully. ]

There's something in there, too. Some sort of implant? I can't spacey-powers it out, so I'm guessing there's some sort of magic at work like the bracelets, but I still don't like to think about something being hooked into my brain like that.

[feathery]

Uh. [Ok, that definitely puts him out and he mimics Jade's motion.] What the fuck...

[Maybe if he keeps poking at it, it'll pop like a zit.]

Wanna give mine a shot. [He really should not mind this so much after he hopped into a kernelsprite and sprouted wings and had his brain instaloaded with Sburb stuff, but WOW NO.]

[thebarkside]

Um. Sure, I guess. [ jade lifts one hand, brow furrowing in concentration, and while it glows slightly -

nothing.

she shakes her head at him, dropping it back to her side. ]

Sorry.

[feathery]

Not your fault. [He shrugs, lightly, and goes back to rubbing his finger over the spot.]

It'd be cool if we knew what the hell we're doing here, though. We got more guidance in Sburb than this. I'd ask if we took a wrong interdimensional turn, but between timeline finagling and stealth brain surgery, it's kinda improbable.

[thebarkside]

I'll just keep an eye on the communicator for a little while.

[ she glances down at it, turning it over in her hands. ]

Maybe the welcome committee is just running late.

[feathery]

Yeah, or at least a hapless bystander. Asgard was teaming with those on arrival.

[Tons of people who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.]

Maybe we'll run into someone we know.
