Who:

soulcool.
Where: Sprout Tower.
When: Backdated allllllllllllll the way to the 12th!
Summary: Jade and Soul have some hot cocoa and chill out.
Rating: Not above PG, and I doubt it'll even get to that.
Log: [It's early in the afternoon and Jade is standing outside Sprout Tower, waiting for Soul. It's just about the time they'd agreed on to meet up, so he should be here any minute now! She got there a little earlier than expected; it hadn't taken as long to get to the tower from the hotel as she thought it would.

She's pretty excited about this! Not only has she been interested in checking out the tower, but Soul seems like a pretty cool guy and she's really interested in hearing more about the world he came from. She wishes she'd had more to tell him about the world she came from, but she'd really been out of the loop and missed most of the interesting stuff that had been going on. Being asleep for most of their session certainly didn't help...

She snaps out of her thoughts in time to see Soul off in the distance. She excitedly waves and yells to him, jumping up and down a bit.]

Sooooooooooooullllllllll!

Makes sense, I guess.

Um... Sure!

Just... wanna know what your family was like.

If it's not anything hard, of course.

Well... my family situation is pretty weird! I was raised by my grandpa... He did all sorts of things. He was an explorer, a big game hunter, an archaeologist, a naturalist, and a scientist! He collected all sorts of things, too. He died when I was little, though... I was really sad at the time, but now I'm okay! After he died, my dog Becquerel is the one who took care of me.

But apparently my grandpa wasn't even my grandpa at all-- he was my dad! And apparently John is my brother and his nanna is actually my mom! And I didn't even find any of this out until really recently. It was really surprising.

[... Well. He was not expecting that. He was almost expecting "nothing special, grew up with my parents, had an annoying sibling" or something. The usual.]

Sounds almost as messed up as a couple people I know.
They're families, I mean. Tch.

So, that John kid's your brother, huh? I really gotta meet'im, now.

It really seems a lot more screwed up now that I've said it all out loud!

He is! And... I'm sure you'll get to meet him eventually.

It's cool though. We've all got family issues, right?
Even if yours is just bein' screwed up.

So. How cool is he?
He must be pretty cool to be Dave's friend, right?

I guess so!

[She looks INCREDIBLY THOUGHTFUL for a second.]

Hm... I'm not sure if I'd say he's really cool... but he's really nice! He likes a lot of movies... He's explained a couple of them to me but they sound kind of stupid!

[Somewhere, John feels kind of sad now and he doesn't know why.]

[Awww, Dave befriends uncool kids! That's almost enough to melt his coolkid heart. But not really. c:]

... I should get this over with now, then -- is he gonna try and go on about his favorites with me?

... Yeah. He will. He definitely will.

... What kinda flicks is he interested in? Am I going to be bored shitless?

[it's good to be prepared. :Ta]

Um... [She tries to remember some of the movies he's gone on and on to her about before.]

The only one I can really remember him talking about off the top of my head is some movie called Con Air. He went on and on about bunnies and the main character reuniting with his loving wife and daughter... It didn't sound all that boring, though!

Huh... Never heard of it.
But if it's not boring, I guess.

[shrug!]

... What kinda things are you interested in, anyway?

I think he mentioned something about explosions, too, and explosions are pretty exciting!

Well, I like gardening, making high-tech gizmos, old cartoons... I have a lot of interests, really!

Eh. I'm more of an old movies fan, anyway.

[A little chuckle] Don't stop there --- we may have something in common!
Something we can do when Dave and Karkat are busy, well....
You know. Dave doing his Strider thing, and Karkat training on his lonesome. Tch.

Hehehe. I don't really watch many movies at all!

Well... I liked to play the eclectic bass back home, and I'd like to think I was pretty good at it! I kind of wish I had my bass here... [She looks a little sad.]

...!

You play the bass?

[Blink blink -- he's never met another instrumentalist before.]

How well, you think?
If it's worth it, I should have some extra money by the time we get to Goldenrod...

I do! Does... does that seem weird or something?

I'm not sure! And nobody's ever really heard me play, so I don't even have other people's opinions to go on!

Ah, really?

No, it'd doesn't --- it's pretty cool! I've never meet anyone who could before. That's what a good jazz song lacks; a good bass line.

And yeah, really! I'm thinkin' of getting a job here soon, and if it's not too expensive, you know. I'm sure Karkat wouldn't get too pissed if it was for a friend, right?

Jazz? Hm... I've actually never really listened to any jazz! [blasphemyyyyyyyyyyy]

Oh! I've kind of been thinking of getting a job myself, actually. No idea how long we're gonna be here, after all! And... maybe not? Admittedly I don't know him very well yet...

[WHAT IS THIS. WHY HASN'T ANYONE HE'S TALKED TO LISTENED TO JAZZ.]

Oh man, Jade --- I'm totally going to have to get a record player now. [sob sob if only he had his records.]

Hey --- maybe we could apply for the same place? No sense working alone, right?

[BECAUSE THEY HAVE LED HORRIBLE, DEPRIVED LIVES, SOUL.]

A record player? I think my grandpa had one of those... [Way to make Soul feel like an old man or something, Jade. :|] Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing some!

That sounds like a good idea! Did you have any places in mind?

[HE WILL HAVE TO FIX THIS, HMM?]

I'll pick out some good ones when I can then, definitely.

Well, I've been looking at a job as a chef here at the inn. Figured I'd work off all the free kitchen space they let me use.

What about you?

[YES. YES, HE WILL.]

Hehehe. I'm looking forward to it!

Oh, you cook?

Hm... I was kind of thinking of seeing if I could get a job at the Pokemon Center!

Yeah, I can. I like to think I'm pretty good at it, too!

[Just. Don't talk to Maka about his cooking abilities.
A-also oh man, he totally just imagined nurse!Jade, in the poofy little lacy dress, and the little hat, and the dressy shoes, and----- blush why is he imagining this gdmit self]

A-at the, uh, Pokemon Center?
I guess I can see that. You'd, um. Probably be good at it.

Oh? I'm at least a decent cook since I basically ended up having to raise myself...

I'd like to try some of your cooking sometime!

I'd like to think I would be! I really want to help take care of Pokemon...

... Um, why are you blushing?
