[A young boy happens to be standing in the middle of Frogtown, with the bottom half of his pants wet from sloshing through the water in the streets. But he has stopped wandering for the moment, and he is looking into his mirror with a more-than-slightly alarmed look on his face.

As he is talking various Huglu can be seen behind him, going about their daily business. A couple stop to look at John curiously, but within seconds they continue on their way.]

Okay, I need to find someone. Her name's Jade, and she looks kinda like me but she's a girl and she's got dog ears. If you see her I really really REALLY need to talk to her as soon as I can, so yeah. If anyone knows where she is, I'd appreciate it if you told me.

And Jade? If you get this message, I swear I didn't do anything to the frogs this time. They were like that when I found them.

Dog ears?

Re: permavideo

[windyheir]

[He is so glad to see another human, even if it's someone he doesn't know.]

Yeah, she's got dog ears just sticking out the top of her head. Kinda like horns, but they're ears. Have you seen her?

[betathanscott]

... No. I haven't seen anybody with dog ears, but I've seen plenty of people with horns.

[windyheir]

Orange horns? And grey skin?

[Maybe he'll be meeting the trolls sooner than he thought.]

[betathanscott]

Do you know them?

[semipotence]

[Oh my gosh, it's John! The John from her universe! Jade is obviously pretty excited to see her ectobro.]

John!! How long ago did you get here?

Re: [video]

[windyheir]

There you are!

[He doesn't know about the alternate versions or anything yet, so he thinks he and Jade arrived at the same time, since he just saw her that morning on the ship.]

Don't be silly, we just got here. Unless you woke up earlier than me, then I guess you would've gotten here just a little bit earlier.

[semipotence]

I've actually been here for about a month! It sounds like there are some serious time shenanigans at work here.

[video]

[windyheir]

Always with the time shenanigans! Was Davesprite involved? Because I could see him doing something like that, taking you back in time one month to prank me.

Then again I don't know if he still has his time powers in addition to his sprite powers. Did you keep your space powers as a sprite?

[whomheloved]

I was going to say that I wasn't sure if your friend was here or not, but it looks like you've managed to find her already! I'm glad.

Did you just arrive?

[windyheir]

[Oh hey, a troll! This one looks older than the ones he saw before, though.]

Yep! As soon as I woke up and saw the message, I went out looking for her, and that's pretty much all I've done so far.

Say, you're a troll, right?

[whomheloved]

Well, at least now that you've found her you'll be able to start settling down! It's always good to have someone else you know here.

Oh, yes, that's right. Do you know other trolls?

[windyheir]

Yep! I know Karkat and Vriska, and I talked to Terezi a few times too. There was also this one troll who used greenish words and talked all fancy-pantsy like Rose does, but I didn't get her name from her.

I'm glad you found your friend! But...why does what the frogs here look like matter?

voice;

[windyheir]

Well, they don't look like how the frogs are supposed to look. They're kinda...

[He pauses to look back at the Huglu behind him.]

Big.

voice;

[faker]

Is there something wrong with that? [dude do you have some kind of height discrimination thing going here]

voice;

[windyheir]

I guess not, if Jade isn't bothered by it? But I swear they weren't that big before, and Jade's definitely going to notice, since she was the one ecto-making them.

[No discrimination here, John just thinks Jade's frogs suddenly grew all big.]

[Here's another young guy, though of a distinctly greyer persuasion, plus the horns and fins and everything. His expression is pretty flat as he answers.]

The witch is here, unfortunately. I'we seen her myself - was stuck as her hiwemate for a bit, in fact. I don't see why anyone would want to talk to her.

What's the deal with her ears, anyway?

video;

[windyheir]

[John's not sure what a hivemate is, but it can't have been anything serious like dating, since Jade would have mentioned that. He's frowning at Eridan's words, though.]

C'mon, Jade's cool. Everyone would want to talk to her. And she has the ears because of some shenanigans involving sburb.

[If Eridan knows what sburb is, then he'll go into more detail. Since there are other humans here, though, he's thinking that maybe not all the trolls here had played sburb.]

video;

[countseadipshit]

[Nope. Jade turned him down before either of them either showed up here.]

[He sneers at John's answer.]

If that's what you think a her, then your taste is in dire need of reewaluation.

I already figured it to be Sburb-related, with her bein' god tier now, but that still tells me nothin'. What happened?

video;

[windyheir]

She's been my friend for ages, I think I already know how I feel about her.

And if she didn't tell you, then I'm not gonna tell you. It's her story to tell.

[Plus he figures if she didn't tell him about it then she must have a reason. Maybe she's still sensitive about everything that happened.]

[percussion]

[Possessing animal-like properties, affinity for dogs? And one of the replies is calling her a Witch? Yeah, wow, Eridan definitely said the wrong thing, and since Justin was creeping on this post, now has the wrong idea.]

You speak openly with a Witch?

[Text; private]

[windyheir]

[He'll go ahead and switch over to text, since Justin is talking in text. It takes him a moment to respond, since he wants to use his color too, but eventually he responds.]

its just a title but yeah jade's the witch of space.
why?

[Text; private]

[percussion]

"Of space", does that mean spatial connections?

Curiousity.

[Text; private]

[windyheir]

maybe?
i mean what i usually see her do is make stuff bigger and smaller so i think part of her powers is affecting the 'space' things take up.
but there could be more i never really asked her about it.
