Comments

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.

[thebarkside]

Yeah. I mean, there's no way it just brought the two of us, right?

[ but, hey: she seems pretty goddamn unsure. ]

Not a chance. I'll keep an eye out.

[feathery]

Two of us when we're not even from the same goddamn time.

[He nudges her with an elbow.]

Anyway, if we don't want to wait around, we might as well go looking for the welcoming committee ourselves. Maybe bump into an alien or accidentally fuck something up.
