[video]
[ The video starts begins with the frowning face of a teenage girl with perked dog ears atop her head. ]
Okay, first of all! Everyone who is new, hi! My name is Jade, and welcome to Asgard, and make sure to let someone know if you need something! I can be helpful - I've been here practically forever now.
Secondly, I am going to need everyone to stop dying, thank you very much.
Thirdly - and this one kind of goes back to the second point, here - if you don't know how to use a weapon, you need to learn how to use a weapon. [ The frown on her face grows a little more severe. ] We are at war, and we can't always rely on our powers! Because some of them kind of suck - no offense, Harry - and when we're attacked, they're not gonna care if you're able to make a giant fireball or if you can just float half a foot off the ground.
[ Her expression is very decidedly stubborn. ]
I can teach you how to shoot a gun. I want to teach you how to shoot a gun! If you can't fight? Please let me teach you how to shoot a gun so you don't die, okay? Between here and home I've died like four times [ five, she's just unaware of that last one right now ] and I am getting sort of sick of it. Let me help!
Or at least let someone.
[ Jade leans forward, as if to end the video, before she wrinkles her nose and adds - ]
Also there's no pie at the Highwind today because my baker is being a butthead. Sorry Stiles. Take it up with Ryan!

that is important
[Text | PRIVATE]
Even if it weren't for the time we get to spend in the city itself I think I'd want to keep the people safe anyway. They haven't been unkind to me. [Which is more than she could say a lot of the time before.]
[Text | PRIVATE]
but knowing that there are so many worlds out there
so many people to protect??
it influences things
[Text | PRIVATE]
[Assuming the situation is really as claimed - but she knows that the worlds, at least, are real, as are the people in them.]
If not for our own sakes then for theirs we can't afford to lose. Almost all of us have friends back in our own worlds to look after whether it's from there or from here. [One more thing to help convince them to fight while they're here, anyway.]
[Text | PRIVATE]
i wonder if they will ever know
[Text | PRIVATE]
Maybe. Maybe not. I guess it all depends on what information the gods choose to allow through. [In the minds of those who return to those worlds or by telling them separately.]
Do you want them to know?
Re: [Text | PRIVATE]
i think so?
i mean.... i dont want to forget
i would probably give anything to be able to remember
[Text | PRIVATE]
[... Still,]
Be careful what you wish for. Memories can be very dangerous.
[Text | PRIVATE]
but im not sure how they could be dangerous
[Text | PRIVATE]
[Boy, does she knows that.]
Sometimes memories can cause more problems than they solve. Hurt is a part of growing and changing for the better but it can also mean changing for worse.
[That, and they can be used to collapse your heart in on itself. But details.]
The things buried in our hearts are sometimes buried for a reason. [It still feels strange to use anything like 'our' in that context.]
[Text | PRIVATE]
at least not for me
if something is buried, i dont want it to stay locked away
it is part of me :/
[Text | PRIVATE]
That's very brave of you. It's important for everyone to be able to accept what's truly in their heart.
[....]
[Before finding memories the strength of which could destroy someone, she would have more readily agreed.]
What if it were something that would break you?
[Text | PRIVATE]
its not that easy
thats not something that could happen to me
[ And maybe the vehemence comes from the memories of Jadesprite - of herself, being broken. ]
[Text | PRIVATE]
[She would know, after all.]
But for your sake I hope you're right. [... Actually,] And I hope that you're never tested whether you're strong enough or not.
[Text | PRIVATE]
but i wont be afraid
i cant afford to be
[Text | PRIVATE]
I don't think any of us really can. [--] Afford to be afraid of what's inside of us I mean. It's too important to be able to look at yourself without flinching. Even so it's still hard.
[Text | PRIVATE]
we should have another sleepover sometime soon, okay? :)
but i think i have to go meet samantha now!!
[Text | PRIVATE]
[-- Oh.]
All right. I hope you two have a nice time.
[With... whatever they're meeting for.]
See you later.
[Text | PRIVATE]
i had fun too!!!
and the dogs like you
it would be nice <3
please take care!
[Text | PRIVATE]
You too.
<3
