CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER | OPEN TO PROSPIT DREAMERS

Once again, at around four in the morning, all Prospit dreamers will find themselves falling asleep (if they weren't already) and waking up in golden pajamas. Prospitian guards stand by their bedside, ready to accompany them to the throne room with jovial expressions at the ready.

The Queen is ready to see you now.

((OOC: We're going to try and run this post like the last battles worked - everybody will respond directly to the queen's top levels. Hopefully this will keep the threads a little easier to follow!

Queen responses will happen no more frequently than once every 24 hours, in order to give everybody a chance to pop in.))

Jade felt a little hazy when she woke up, her memory of the past few days an utter blur. She felt sore all over, and had the worst crick in her neck, but she followed the guard out anyways, floating down the familiar streets and taking in the sights. Somehow, everything felt more vibrant, more golden, more lively than usual, like she had just stepped from a dark room into a bright light... but that didn't make sense, did it? What had she been doing before now?

She stood quietly before the throne for now, rubbing her neck to try and work out some of the pain. Geez, she really needed to work on her sleeping posture.

Jake almost felt relieved when he was escorted to the queen once more. After all, while the battle did come as promised, it still felt somewhat strange to recognize that the dreams had been a thing. Yet here he was again, and he was sure some familiar faces would...
be...

Oh. Oh shit.

He rushes over to Jade the moment he recognizes her, and tears are already flowing down his face. He speaks in high pitched, garbled noises, the only words really recognizable being 'I'm so sorry', 'Can you forgive me' and oddly enough 'Grandma'.

Not even five minutes and the man is overstimulated.

Jade sort of recognized the crying man in front of her. She wasn't really sure where she recognized him from, but his face was definitely familiar.

At any rate, that made it no easier for her to understand why he was suddenly weeping at the sight of her and apologizing. Grandma? What did he mean grandma? Jade was too young to have fully grown children, let alone grandkids!

"Um... it's okay? I forgive you? Though I am not sure why you need to apologize..."

Jake sniffed and wiped at his face as he tried to calm himself down, Jade forgiving him certainly helping in that. He nods slowly, slow breathing following. Okay. Just...calm down Jake. She's here. Make sure that doesn't change in the future.

He gives her a small bow, eyes focused as he looks into her own. "Thank you...and I promise you, both in here and when we're awake...though...I'm...still kinda confused on that right now. But anyway!! The important thing is, I promise, nothing will ever hurt you while I'm around! Just consider me your personal bodyguard!"

Jade stared at him for a good thirty seconds, trying to parse what he was saying to her. A bodyguard? She didn't need a bodyguard. Also, she hardly knew this guy! Why did he want to be her bodyguard?

"Well... thank you! But you don't need to go out of your way to protect me. I can take care of myself!" And if she couldn't take care of herself, then that was her fault, really. She didn't need to inconvenience anybody else.

Kanaya was feeling rejuvenated and peaceful, content to have awoken in her favorite place after such a harrowing battle. The feeling was cut short, however, then brought back full force when she spotted Jade across the room, looking achey and perhaps a bit confused but definitely, definitely alive.

She gasped and ran at her full tilt, stopping short in front of Jade, hands extended but not touching her. She was afraid if she did she'd phase right through her. "Jade?" she ask disbelievingly. "Are you in suitable health? How is it that you've come to be present in this place?"

Kanaya was acting strange. Her hands were just hovering there, like she was afraid to touch her for some reason. Did she smell or something? Jade subtly ducked her head down to sniff her armpits... but no, she smelled like she usually did.

"Uh- I'm a little sore, I guess, but I feel fine! Really. And I just... woke up here like I usually did. And then the guards brought me here, like they did last time." She shrugged. Surely it wasn't that weird that she was here, right?

Kanaya open her mouth to say more, but the throng surrounding Jade was growing rapidly and she had to step back before she was trampled. So her questions over Jade's death remained unspoken for now, though it certainly seemed Jade had no recollection of dying. Was that even her? Were their dreamselves separate from their bodies? After all, there was no guarantee being alive in this magical dream world meant anything in reality.

Ugh, it was too much to think about, especially with the way her brain tended to go all warm and fuzzy when she was here. She decided to give up on that venture for now and just watch the rest of her companions ogle Jade.

"Jade!" John called, navigating around a few other people that had already clustered. One was- Oh. Oh boy. He'd better keep out of it.
"Feels like I haven't seen you in a while," he said, arms spread as if ready to go in for the hug.

Oh thank god somebody who was acting normally around her. Jade knew she could count on John. "John!" she called back, walking over and returning the hug as tightly as she could manage. "I haven't seen you in a while, either! How are you?"

Terezi was greeted upon arrival by guards; her cheerful demeanor shown through as she was lead back to the Queen's Palace for another summons. The idea of getting answers from the previous meeting gave her a sense of excitement when she arrived. Taking a long breath in, she gathered who was already present and noticed right away a certain somebody she hadn't expected. Jade Harley. A swirl of guilt and happiness mixed like a pool in her stomach as she ran over subconsciously. Overall, she was glad to see Jade alive and well; but the reason why remained a mystery. She was really dead. Wasn't she?

"Jade! I can't believe you're here!" Terezi replied with shock; she was apart of the group gawking at Jade's arrival. "How are you here?!"

Jade cocked her head to the side. "What's so surprising about me being here?" she asked, looking honestly puzzled. "I was here the last time that the queen summoned us, you know! I just woke up like I usually do and then I got brought here. It's... nothing special, really."

Really, the big question was why everybody was acting so weird around her, but Jade decided to hold back on that one for now.

Vriska rubbed her eyes sleepily, following the Prospitians to the throne room. When she arrived several of her divine peers were already assembled, including one (1) Jade Harley.

Jade Fake-Your-Own-Death Harley.

"Jade I'm going to kick your ass when we wake up! How DARE you try to pull one over on me? That joke was lame, and really, really fucking tasteless. I can't believe you thought I'd fall for such a cheap trick." Vriska spat her words from across the room, shaking a fist menacingly.
"J U S T
Y O U
W A I T."

Vriska crossed her arms over her chest, simmering in her anger as she waited for the others to arrive and the Queen to begin yet another pointless, boring speech.

Jade had no idea what Vriska was talking about. She couldn't remember any tricks that she had pulled on anybody recently, let alone Vriska. Unless she was still angry about the eight ball thing?

Well, that didn't matter. Jade just rolled her eyes and turned the other way, ignoring the spider girl. There was no reason to so much as give her the time of day.
