Teleporting Blues [Open to Anybody*]

[cuteandquarky]

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.))

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.

Jade thought to ask how on earth a bunch of water had just lifted her out of the pool and then set her down, but she quickly deduced the reason. They all had powers, and obviously this was one of Feferi's.

"Well... I'm not really sure why I'm here, specifically," Jade explained, speaking a bit slowly to give her time to figure out her next words. "But I think I unlocked a new power or something! Whenever I sneeze, I go to a new place, but I haven't really figured out how to control it yet. So here I am!"

[lunaquatic]

"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?"

[cuteandquarky]

"It is confusing! I need to try and get the hang of it, but so far I'm not having much luck..." Jade let out a sigh, then stood up. "And I'm not sick right now. I just have allergies because of the time of the year. All of that pollen can make a nose really itchy, you know?"

She grabbed a strand of hair and twisted it in order to try and wring the water out of it. Having so much hair was inconvenient sometimes - it acted like a sponge! "And yes, it seems like it! Though I need to get the teleportation under control before I'd really call it a power. And... a change of clothes would be nice, but I'm a little scared of sneezing in the middle of changing."

It was one thing to pop up in somebody's house unannounced. It was another thing to do so completely naked.

"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?"

[cuteandquarky]

"I certainly hope so! I mean, it has to have something to do with sneezes, right? Maybe its something about the sinus cavity or the velocity of air..."

As Jade considered the scientific possibilities, her gaze slowly fell to her soaked clothes, and then back up at Feferi with a somewhat sheepish expression. "A towel would be great, actually. Thank you!"

[lunaquatic]

"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?"
