Teleporting Blues [Open to Anybody*]

The day had started off normally enough. It was a wonderful spring day, and Jade was spending her time outside on campus, basking in the sun and warm air. The winter was fun, sure, but the snow got tiring after a while, and having the freedom of walking around outside in a tank-top and airy skirt was so wonderful!

The only thing slightly less wonderful about this was the fact that with spring came flowers. And flowers were great! Their pollen, considerably less so.

"A-CHOO!"

Very suddenly, Jade was no longer on campus, but somewhere in the woods, with nobody else in sight. She blinked, surprised, before her nose started to tickle again.

"A-CHOO!"

Now she was on the roof of a very, very tall building, the wind buffeting her hair around. Naturally, some of it brushed past her nose, and she could feel that encroaching, tickling sense in the back of her sinuses again.

"A-CHOO!"

Where would she end up next?

((*OOC Note: While this is open to anybody who wants Jade to appear very suddenly in their vicinity (as she will keep teleporting somewhere new with every sneeze) I'm gonna put a soft cap of five different threads resulting from this.))

Kanaya was tending to her indoor plants when quite suddenly, from behind her, there came an odd ripply feeling and a sneeze. She whirled on the spot, water sloshing out of the flower-patterned watering can. "Jade?!"
drawntotheflame: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] drawntotheflame 2016-05-02 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Kanaya remembered with a start that she was just in a T-shirt and panties. She froze, desire to cover herself conflicting with the desire to appear unruffled. The latter won out. She raised her perfectly groomed eyebrows at Jade, blush barely discernible on her (facial) cheeks. "I don't believe my presence should be considered unconventional as this apartment is my home and I'm liable to inhabit it at any given moment. The real conundrum is how exactly you've managed to assert your physical mass here without so much as a wayward knock on any of the multiple available entrances."

Kanaya wasn't sure why she was so certain Jade was really there and not some sort of apparition, but she didn't question her instincts.

She cleared her throat. "Would you like a drink while you construct or disclose your explanation?"

Kanaya Advises Repression as a Healthy Way of Life

[personal profile] drawntotheflame 2016-05-03 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Kanaya nodded and strode to the kitchen to retrieve a glass, placing the watering can on the counter as she went. "I prefer my living spaces to contain a variety of greenery indoors and outdoors if feasible -- I find great satisfaction in monitoring their progress and catching sight of the colorful display of succulents and tropical plants alike when I return home from a long evening." She had carefully matched said colors with the deep red rug in the living room and the fabric on the walls.

She handed Jade the water and crossed her arms. "It is advisable that you determine a method of repression regarding your powers when their appearance or effect is less than convenient. Perhaps it was good fortune that transported you here, but the sudden manifestation of an allergy prone girl within the walls of a home belonging to a unsuspecting person unfamiliar with our situation and probably just attempting to enjoy their previously uneventful afternoon could prove problematic.

"It appears that everyone's abilities along with any urges inherent to their abilities have only grown more substantial over time." Or perhaps just my urges. She grimaced at the memory and the fact that Jade's presence violated her vow to not meet anyone alone for the time being. She shifted her weight back, meaning to keep her distance until their interaction was over. From the sound of it she'd been gone soon anyway.

"That sounds like a sensible restraint while you acquire further knowledge of the inner workings of your abilities. Unless my memory fails me you perform some kind of science which I suspect will be an asset any evaluation you decide to execute."

Kanaya was smiling, feeling relatively comfortable in the situation despite her state of undress, when Jade asked the question. Fuck. She hadn't planned on spreading around knowledge of her more violent tendencies. "Um." She didn't know what to say, as terrible at lying as she'd always been. She was probably glowing more noticeably now too. "Well I just meant... how... hard it is resist the urge to utilize your powers for mundane routine tasks." She was grabbing at straws. "I have yet to do so but I suspect my luminescence will be convenient if it's ever necessary to explore the caliginous domain beneath my bed which seems to be home to only the errant dust bunny but you never know when they might conspire to plunder my nightstand for any number of five cent hairclips. I suspect that would be a transgression that I could simply not abide."

There. That wasn't too bad, was it? She searched for a different topic, her mind jumping from Jade's academic interests to the Skaia lab. "Have you managed to capitalize on an opportunity to examine the meteor that served as a catalyst for this chain of events?"
drawntotheflame: (thinking)

"It is interesting that proximity doesn't seem to denote much of how its effects have culminated, although I haven't heard of any supernatural incidents outside of Sburb city, although then again I don't a tendency to focus much on educating myself on current events. But in actuality and provided you become precise and deliberate enough with this newfound power you may be able to use it to your advantage to gain a closer inspection of the meteor beyond what access you've been granted... Would you like an additional glass of water?"
drawntotheflame: (blep)

[personal profile] drawntotheflame 2016-05-19 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"I wonder... The only people I have encountered on Prospit are local -- oddly enough some of the people the group consists of only relocated here recently but it would be worth looking into if they dreamt in the kingdoms previous to their presence in Sburb. That may provide clarification for if the physical location truly is a hotspot for magical activity or if something innate in our subconsciouses has drawn us together."

Her serious expression morphed into a more fond one at Jade's question. "My father's predilection for indoor plants transferred to me by association and and therefore no living space feels appropriate without a variety of flora. In your case and under the conditions that an appropriate amount of sunlight enters your dorm I would recommend that you purchase a succulent, especially cacti." She came closer and pointed out one whose flowers Jane had turned blue. "They only require occasional moisture and plenty of sunshine."

Dave was having a nice lazy day around the apartment he and his brother had been gifted. He still didn't like the place but the massive high definition TV Feferi had attempted to placate him with was damn nice. Lounging in front of it on the couch in his boxers and binder, playing video games and enjoying the warm spring air coming in from the windows (they had more than one now!), he was decently content.

There seemed to be a disturbance in the air and a rather girly sneeze. Assuming it was his brother, he just deadpanned and uttered a simple, "Bless you."
pendulumbeat: (wtf)

[personal profile] pendulumbeat 2016-05-03 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
He audibly yelped when the familiar voice spoke up, ditching his game controller and diving for his shades. He scrambled to shove them on his face and get on his feet to face her. Shit. Shit. He hadn't told her he's trans yet. This was definitely not how he'd imagined it going. Relax, maybe she'll think it's just a weird tank-top or something, he told himself.

"The fuck are you doing here?" he blurted out, no anger in his tone, just surprise. "How did you get in?" He should really be used to large-haired girls appearing in his apartment uninvited with how Feferi kept showing up.
pendulumbeat: (awkward)

[personal profile] pendulumbeat 2016-05-04 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Shit, you can teleport?" he gaped. "When did that become a thing? Just now?" His line of questioning got him distracted but then he looked down at himself. "Oh... Right. Hold on."

He jogged up to his room (god it was weird having his own room again) and yanked a shirt and jeans on. A quick glance in the mirror confirmed his hair was fine so he hurried back to meet his friend. "Uh, do you want anything? A drink? Feel free to sit down, the couch will still stab you but it's... Nevermind. Lucky you ended up here and not in like, jail or something."
pendulumbeat: (freckly asshole)

[personal profile] pendulumbeat 2016-05-05 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Dave settled on the couch beside her, fine with the springs jabbing his spine. He was accustomed to it. It was like an old friend giving him a hug... An old friend with too many knives in his jacket or something. He nodded slowly along with what she said, hiding his excitement. Maybe she'd be able to learn to teleport with other people too.

"Well try not to end up at the bottom of the ocean. No sneezing happening there," he suggested helpfully. "I can't say I mind you dropping in. Ever played Smash Bros? I've got a few extra remotes around, I could teach you."
pendulumbeat: (smile)

[personal profile] pendulumbeat 2016-05-11 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
He'd moved to find a second remote when one flew past him into Jade's hands. He couldn't help but grin like a giddy child. "That is so cool," he beamed. "You know every kid has that dream at some point, to be able to move things with their mind. Anyone who says they haven't tried at least once is lying. Focus on your sibling's ice cream, try to make it fly into your own hand by staring real hard at it."

Dave flopped back onto the couch on his usual side and patted Dirk's spot beside him for Jade to sit down. "Anyway, just hit 'A' on the controller, the big round one that says 'A', it'll connect you."
pendulumbeat: (smile)

[personal profile] pendulumbeat 2016-05-17 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's too bad, you are missing out," he said with a grin. "Stolen ice cream tastes the best." Mind you mostly he didn't steal it, Dirk just shared when he'd gone out with friends and Dave had stayed home.

"Sweet, hold it sideways," he instructed. "Use the d-pad to move around the screen and hit '2' to pick someone. I've got all the characters unlocked so no one's missing. This kid is mine, though." He selected Pit and cycled through his colour schemes until he got to the red one.

Dave withheld a groan as she unpredictably chose the furry. He knew her well enough to see that coming a mile off. It just so happened that Fox was his absolute least favourite character to ever grace the like of Smash Bros. Well, what could he do?

He gave her a rundown on how to play: the various attacks, items, and how to name her character. Then he chose an easy stage -- Final Destination -- so she wouldn't lose track of her character among a larger stage, and hit start.

Feferi was back at her own house for once, enjoying the saline buoyancy of the filtered seawater that filled her main pool. If any of her neighbors had lived close enough to hear her they would have been rather irritated as she imitated whale song while floating peacefully on her back. Given her propensity for venturing from pool by the house then down to the ocean and then back, Feferi rarely indulged in skinny dipping even in the relative privacy of her own pool (fortunately, as she would soon see).

The pool was clear ocean water, still chock full of salt, but cleaned of sand and creatures. The walls were dark stone and there were no steps or ladders in or out of the main section which plunged down ten feet from edge to edge so Fef could practice her freediving. To escape you had to climb out using the side, or swim toward the house and under the wall and emerge in any number of interior rooms. She had invited the sea into her home.

Private beaches, after all, nestled beside other ones and building high walls was nothing if not impractical.

With her ears submerged as she floated on her back, paddling lazily, she missed the sneeze, but the yelp and the splash caught her attention.

Feferi popped upright, treading water as she looked around in surprise as the sloshing ripples rocked her. "Glub??" she said aloud, trying to figure out what had happened.
lunaquatic: (water swim ambush)

[personal profile] lunaquatic 2016-05-06 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Feferi had retreated into the shadowy part of the pool when Jade burst to the surface. As much as Feferi got along with the other girl, having someone actually at her (ridiculous) house who wasn't Eridan set off alarm bells.

To buy time she dove under the surface, gliding along and watching Jade's progress to the side. The water wrapped around her and helped her resist her own buoyancy.

When Jade got near the edge, Feferi judged the time to be right (and that the odds of Jade vanishing before she figured out whose house it was to be slim to none anyway) she popped up next to her. "Hi Jade!! Where did you come from??"
lunaquatic: (palette colorful)

[personal profile] lunaquatic 2016-05-14 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Feferi glubbed in alarm as Jade sank. She screwed up her face and the water around Jade gripped her gently and pushed her upward. A fist of water gently set Jade on the ground beside the pool and flowed back into the water.

Fef propped her arms and chin on the edge of the pool, watching Jade with concern. "Yes!! You are... actually the second person apart from Eridan to sea my home... of the heroes... Welcome!!" she said a little sheepishly. She lived in a sprawling house with sleek modern lines that just screamed extravagant wealth.

"I guess the betta question is water YOU doing here??" Feferi asked, watching Jade curiously, though part of her concentration was attempting to pull water out of Jade's sodden clothes.
lunaquatic: (puzzled)

[personal profile] lunaquatic 2016-05-16 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"That sounds.... confusing!!!" Feferi said, watching the puddle that kept forming around Jade flow steadily back into the pool with some satisfaction.

"Sorry you fell in the pool!! Do you want.. a change of clothes or somefin? You probably otter not be in soaking wet clothes for very long? Don't want you to get sick!! ...Or sicker??"

Feferi grinned sheepishly. So you've got... telekinesis and now teleportation?"
lunaquatic: (palette colorful)

[personal profile] lunaquatic 2016-05-25 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm, whale would you like a towel perhaps?? It doesn't seem great to be soaking wet if you are 'porting all over creation!!!!" Feferi said, pushing off from the wall and treading water as she awaited Jade's response.

Fef rarely bothered with pool towels, generally going straight from here to a bathroom and taking a shower to wash off the salt, but the sprawling place had more than abundant resources.

"Glub that power sounds REELY inconvenient if you can't control it!!!!!!! Or I guess ability if you aren't calling it a power yet? Do you fin eel get a handle on it?"
lunaquatic: (swim water smug)

[personal profile] lunaquatic 2016-06-02 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ok!!! Isle be right back, just give me two shakes of a fish tail and you'll have a towel!" Feferi said cheerfully, ducking under the surface. She streaked away through the water under the wall of the house.

Soon enough she came trotting out of the back door with a trail of water, carrying several dry towels. "Jade!! Are you still here?"
straylines: vriska looking bored (angry yelling)

Finally, someone wearing clothes.

[personal profile] straylines 2016-05-07 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Vriska shuffled blindly out of the shower, grabbing for her glasses and a towel resting on the nearby counter. After drying off and wrapping her hair in a towel, Vriska pulled on some comfy pajamas: shorts patterned with cute little spiders and a loose fitting tank top. She was content to leave the injury to her chest unbandaged in the privacy of her soon to be vacated abode. Thanks to some very liberally applied aloe vera it was already beginning to look more passably like a bad sunburn than the ill effects of clashing with a super-powered bee-freak.

She gathered up some of the laundry scattered around her bedroom and bathroom floor into a basket, not quite able to distinguish the clean from the dirty, and headed with the basket to her small in-unit washer and dryer. She had just finished loading the washer when she heard the sneeze.

She spun around to face the hallway, armed with a bottle of detergent and ill intent. "Who's there?! How did you get in here? Helen I swear to god if that's you I'm calling the cops! I still have a whole day left before I have to leave!!!!!!!!"
straylines: vriska looking bored (confused disgust)

[personal profile] straylines 2016-05-18 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
That wasn't Helen... But Vriska knew that voice.

"Jade? What the hell are you doing in my house?!" Vriska approached her, lowering the detergent... for now. "Why did you come all the way here to borrow pepper and feathers? From ME of all people? Don't you have like, baking soda volcanoes to go make or something nerd?" Vriska sneered. She hoped reducing her lab tests to science fair grade projects would draw an entertaining reaction.

"Hey wait. Wasn't my door locked?"
straylines: vriska is startled (!!!!!!!!)

Vriska: 8e cooper8tive... PSYCHE!

[personal profile] straylines 2016-05-24 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oooh, did I hit a nerve Bill Nye?" Vriska taunted. Jade was soooooooo much fun to pick on. "Wouldn't want your potato-powered clock to blow a fuse or anything."

Vriska raised an eyebrow. Jade can teleport now? Interesting. "Physics nerd says she can teleport, huh? Isn't that, oh, I dunno... scientifically impossible? Where's your lab report on unicorns? Is your thesis on magic, too?" Vriska was well aware that Jade was likely telling the truth about her power, but it was too tempting to resist belittling her further. Maybe she'd even get a demonstration of Jade's abilities if she kept pushing her buttons.Or pushed her. Literally.

Vriksa eyed Jade threateningly, readying herself to trip the bespectacled bean pole.
"Where's your scientific method now, huh?!" Vriska teased, giving Jade a shove.
straylines: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (angry screaming)

Squawk like a moronic fuckwad and clutch your head ====>

[personal profile] straylines 2016-05-26 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Vriska scoffed at Jade as she made her speech. "Are you really reciting the scientific method at me right now? Really?" But she had spoken too soon. Looming ominously behind her was her (not so) trusty magic eight ball, ready to be deployed directly at the back of her head by her nerdy adversary.

The eight ball smacked into the back of Vriska's head with a hollow thunk, much like that of a ripe watermelon.. "WHAT THE FUCK JADE????????" Vriska did indeed squawk, and reached a hand gingerly to the back of her head to caress the now-forming knot.

The ball rolled a short ways after bouncing across the floor merrily. As many times as Vriska had cursed at the novelty toy, it probably felt about as vindicated as a cheap plastic fortune teller could.
