Hello Everyone
Last Night Those Of Us Who Belong To The Golden Kingdom Were Summoned By The Queen To Hear Some Heavily Mysterious And Rather Alarming News
Previous To This Occurrence Feferi Terezi And I Discussed A Possible Meeting To Better Ourselves By Raising Our Skill Levels With The Hope That Doing So Will Increase The Chances Of A Favorable Outcome When Confronting These Otherworldly Creatures
Whatever Is Transpiring It Is Imperative That We Be Prepared And Personally I Would Be More Disposed To Practice In The Presence Of Prospective Partners
In Addition To Showing Signs Of Potential Powers My Dear Friend Karkat Is Currently Training In The Army And Has Agreed To Instruct Those Of Us Willing To Learn In Self Defense Techniques
I Request That You Do Not Bring Weapons As They Will Be Too Conspicuous In A Public Space But That You Do Bring Comfortable Clothing And If You Have Met Anyone Else That You Believe To Be Involved I Highly Encourage You Usher Them Along As More Perspectives Will Only Serve To Supplement Our Understanding Of The Situation
Karkat And I Would Like To Meet Tomorrow At 4 In Central Park Between The Fountain And The Elderly Flash Dancing Lesson
Please Contact Me Presently If You Will Be Late Or Cannot Attend

Bag packed with her sketchbook, raw meat, and grapes, Kanaya found herself ready for the journey to the park. The walk from her new place was a bit longer than before, so even though she lingered while choosing a workout outfit -- a simple white shirt and roomy ankle-length red skirt -- she overshot the timing and arrived nearly twenty minutes early.

She tucked herself beneath a tree near the upbeat dance class, pulling out her sketchbook. The wispy hair, flabby arms, and neon leotards would serve as good drawing subjects and an easy-to-follow beacon for her fellow superpowered peers to home in on.

"Water you talking about?" Feferi shot back, her irritation flaring up readily at the accusation. Her shoulders squared, mouth locking down into a hard line as she glared right back at Jane. The brief resonance she had felt with Jane's life powers was forgotten as Jane glared.

Fef set her jaw, pink eyes glaring right back at Jane. "I misjudged my elbow block whale sparring with YOUR overenthusiastic boyfrond," she snapped, her teeth grinding together as she inhaled, inflating like an angry pufferfish.

"He's not my boyfriend!" Jane huffed, cursing the light flush that rose to her face as she put her hands upon her hips. "But even if he was, that is far from the point! You have absolutely zero regard for personal space, or any social cues whatsoever. You moved Dirk and Dave to god only knows where without their consent or their say so! You broke into their apartment! You tore Dirk's shirt, and tried to lather him up with sunscreen without his consent! And you were TOO MUCH IN THIS FIGHT!" She exclaimed, screaming by the time she was done. "YOU ARE /ALWAYS/ TOO FUCKING MUCH. I KNOW YOUR TYPE. SOME SNOTTY RICH KID WHO THINKS BECAUSE THEY GOT EVERYTHING HANDED TO THEM ON A SILVER FUCKING PLATTER THEY'RE GOD'S GIFT TO THE UNIVERSE." She scowled, taking a minute to compose herself. She took a slow, deep breath. When she spoke again, her voice was calmer, but no less venomous. "I know, because I used to be just like you. But I grew the fuck up. We are adults, Feferi. You think you're cute. You think you're quirky. You think you are funny. But this is ludicrous. You don't get a free pass just because you weren't properly socialized, or whatever it is you are using as an excuse for this behavior. It's shitty. End of story."

Jane was already beginning to feel bad. Perhaps she had been a bit harsh. But no one had sugarcoated her wake-up call. Feferi needed to join the real world just as Jane had done.

Feferi felt like the temperature was plummeting around her as Jane continued her diatribe. Her lips drew back in a soundless snarl as the second person of the day implied that she wasn't cute.

"Hal invited me. I'm shore you'd been there, a few jiggles and the door popped right open. I didn't even know I had broken in until no one was there after all," Feferi said in a flat voice. "I moved them somewhere they don't have a landlord who would sell access to their space to anyone with a hundred bucks. They have a locking front door and proper beds to sleep in."

Feferi took a step forward, her nose almost touching Jane's. Her pink eyes were free to glare into Jane's without the usual fancy glasses. "You know nofin. NOTHING about me or where I come from," she growled. "I am sorry that I misjudged my hit and broke your nose Jake and I'm sorry you fell out of a tree earlier and broke your shoulder," she said, though her eyes were still locked with Jane's. "I'm glad Jane here is God's actual gift to the universe with all the friends and all the wisdom and all the powers to fix things us selfish rich girls ruin."

Fef stepped back, rolling her head on her neck without breaking eye contact. "But what do I know, huh? Just a spoiled rich girl who never does anyfin to help anyone," she snapped, biting off her words. She turned on her heel and strode away toward the rest of the group, snatching up her bag as she went, sending her and Jake's glasses flying. Feferi paused and huffed as she spoiled her exit to turn back and hand Jake his glasses. She gave Jane a last glare and stalked away, deciding it wasn't worth losing her dignified departure a second time to grab her own fake glasses.

Jake had shivered when he felt that energy of hers enter his body, a numbness to everything now. His body was now working overtime to heal something that should take at least a hospital visit, and the experience was still way too weird. He sighed as her hands moved against him softly, following her instruction. "I'm fine...just kinda hurts...much better..."

He had barely muttered the words before Jane let out a very angry sentence to Feferi...and Feferi called him Jane's boyfriend? What. Not an unpleasant thing but...

He began to sat up as the two came to an argument, grimacing as he looked between the two. "Ja...Fe...Hey...You two hey...I..."

Though he only ever dealt with hope, the anger between the two was palpable, and it honestly just made him uncomfortable. The man didn't deal with even positive feelings well, and this all just felt...wrong. When Feferi spoke to him, even as she glared Jane down, he tried to respond back. "Hey it's..okay. You didn't mean to. I'll be okay. I'm-"

But then she was backing off, snapping at Jane once more before coming back for his glasses. "...Thank you, Feferi." He managed to get that off at least before she walked away, turning to Jane with an absolutely exhausted look on his face.

"...I think I'm ready to leave. And we should talk."

Jane's gaze met Fef's, her resolve refusing to waver. She parted her lips as Feferi closed, preparing to apologize for flying off the handle like she had, but the woman was already gone in a huff. And even if Jane had managed to flag her down, cripes, what would she even say? She had been harsh, but truthful. Feferi had whipped into their lives like a hurricane, and just expected everyone to mold to her will. Jane's shoulders slumped as Jake approached, and did not meet his eyes. She'd let him down, she knew she had. At his words, she simply nodded, refusing to meet his gaze as she turned back towards the parking lot, doing her best to ignore those who likely were staring now that the scene had played itself out.
