WHO: Jade, Tyzias, Ekkehardt, The rest of Lum Floor 1, aaaand You
WHAT: Jade and Tyzias shenanigans after they reunite, results may vary
WHEN: Last week of January - First Week of February
WHERE: Tyzias’s dorm room, Lumiere floor 1, Library
NOTES: Warning: may contain some mentions of Jade and Tyzias’s past (which is all around not good) and high concentrations of tooth rotting fluff.

Coming Up Tails (closed to Ekkehardt, Late January, Waning Crescent)
Jade was upset. She hadn’t told Tyzias about the thing with her and magic. She had just seen her friend runecasting, saw that it was very similar to the magic she was used to teleporting away from first, ask questions never, and had just. She had just gone and done that. She’d left the room, left Tyzias there probably heart-hurt and confused like she was now, and had only stopped to grab a pillow from her room before finding where Ekkehardt was, scratching on the door instead of just teleporting in. Or knocking.

“Ekke?”

An Absolute Dumpster Fire (closed to Lumière Floor 1, Early February, Waxing Crescent)
Ever since they’ve reunited, Jade and Tyzias have been nigh-inseparable. Due to both’s lax privacy, everybody sees Jade climbs out of the dumpster wearing Tyzias’s shirt that’s a couple sizes too large on her or wearing Tyzias’s pants instead of her own shorts. Tyzias might be seen with said shorts or with a shirt that’s a bit too small on her. Neither are awake enough for the world but they’re getting up anyway. Jade flops out, Tyzias peers over the edge, and Jade gets up and tugs and insists until Tyzias is up and out herself.

A Study in Cluelessness (open, Early February, Waxing Crescent)
Other times one might find them both curled up in the library during some of their self study time. Jade would half of the time be fully transformed and very mistakable for a large dog with how she’s curled around Tyzias with her head against one of Tyzias’s legs, tail against the other. The other half they’d just be cuddling somewhere just out of sight or using each other as pillows as they read.

Just KISS Already!!! (open, Feb 6th, Waxing Crescent)
Jade and Tyzias amidst all this have been working on something. Specifically, Jade getting used to Runecasting. It looks enough like magic and spellcasting that Jade had been. Not okay when she’d first seen it. Upset at herself for fleeing without warning and even more so for staying away for almost a full day afterward. Now they were starting on working on that because Jade was determined to not have anything like that happen again.

Tyzias and Jade would be curled up against each other or Jade would be laying down next to Tyzias as she goes over what each of the runes she uses does. Both were whispering in hushed tones so fewer people have the opportunity to overhear. When Tyzias then goes on to make an array with what she’s shown thus far, Jade would know what it’s going to do and not teleport out of there. Well. She does sometimes do so, but is better at least in coming right back.

And of course someone has to stumble upon them like this. In one of the dorm living rooms. In Tyzias’s room. In the library yet again as seems to be a hotspot to find either of them these days.

Literally Everyone Here Knows Except You (closed to Tyzias, Feb 7th, Waxing Crescent)

Both of them were in Tyzias’s dorm room today. Both of them were studying for the midterms coming up, with Jade just laying across Tyzias’s legs as she reads a book.

“Tyziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-” Oh dear. She probably wants something.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Maya Matlin spent most afternoons, and a few mornings, in the common room with her cello. So she saw the comings and goings on the floor. And even in her room she could hear the sounds of those on the floor. So she was aware of something going on, but not entirely sure what. A large part of that was Tyzias seemed like a terrible person she wanted nothing to do with.

So the idea someone would actively climb into a dumpster with her was just- no.

"Why not just- ask her roommate to swap with you?" Maya said, from behind her notebook, as Jade walked through the common room. Completely aware of her surroundings without looking up. And as is standard, Maya's not making any other noises where she sits. Even her breathing is soundless.

To be perfectly honest, Jade hadn’t thought of that as a possibility that could happen. She hadn’t thought, hey, maybe I should switch with Tyzias’s roommate. She’d been given her space, Tyzias’s roommate who she didn’t really remember the name of, rude, had been given his. And it’d be very rude she thinks to not remember and still go up to him like hey I want to switch with you, that okay with you?

“I don’t know.” Was the answer that she gives aloud with a yawn.

"You actually like the weird dumpster in there. You're in there enough nights. You wear her clothes. Just ask and see if that's okay with the staff." Maya still hadn't looked up, scribbling down lyrics after she finished talking without any break. Humming a little to herself trying to maintain the rhythm of her work in progress.

"I don't care if you're sharing a room with your girlfriend, it might mean less 'staying up all night working on loud magic' for me to hear." Look Maya is just going to assume that from the- being okay with a dumpster, and the trash receptacle she sleeps in. Also the sharing clothes, that's weird otherwise.

Well. Jade doesn’t know what Maya means by girlfriend other than, perhaps, a friend who is a girl. Someone’s going to spell it out for her eventually, though.

She nods and hums, before looking down at her— Tyzias’s —clothes.

“Again.” It doesn’t look like she’s going to do anything about changing back into her normal clothes anytime in the near future.

She’ll likely remember the room switch suggestion later.

As if to confirm Maya's assumption, Tyzias slumps out of the dumpster in Jade's clothes, yawning and stretching. "Jesus fuckin' Christ, how do people function with morning brain? Never had to deal with this bullshit before, fuck," she mutters darkly as she munches on a granola bar.

Then she stops short, realizing what Maya said... and cracks up. "Fuck, Matlin, do you think I have time for a girlfriend?" Unaware of the irony, she slumps against Jade, yawning again, and wraps her arm around the werewolf's shoulder for support.

Even in their scant time of being acquainted, Ekkehardt has become used to Jade's sudden entrances and exits. A child with teleportation powers and good reason to be skittish is a recipe for sudden reappearances and disappearances all over campus.

So the fact she's scratching at his door is cause for concern. He's already crossing the floor from his desk to open it as soon as she starts making noise.

"Miss Jade. How can I help you today?"

Jade’s holding the pillow she’d gotten pretty tightly to her, when Ekkehardt opens the door. Her ears were The only thing showing today, drooping as if the rest of her body language and actions weren’t showing how upset she is.

“I made a. I made a mistake and I don’t know how to fix it.” One might be able to almost hear the frowning emoji at the end, there.

"Perhaps if you spoke about the problem, it might be easier." He won't push her, but she's clearly come to him for a reason, so he's hardly going to turn her away. He steps aside, body language showing that she's able to enter the room if she so pleases.

"What happens to be on your mind?"

Jade sniffs, "I just saw Tyzi doing magic stuff. Magic rune stuff, though. But I know she does and I knew, I know it looks different now but it still looks similar. To the other magic that THEY used." She grips the pillow tighter to her as she shuffles into the room, "But I didn't think and I just saw magic and left!"

She's piecing together, too, that when she'd scared Toki it must've been something similar with him. It must've been her or something about her that had him screaming like that.

"I want to go back and say sorry but I also really don't want to go back there right now at all and I feel bad."

"Well," Ekkehardt says carefully after a moment, "since she comes from the same place as you, I'm sure she'll understand if you need some time to process it."

Well, probably. Tyzias seems to jump to conclusions quite a bit, sometimes, but she'll probably make an exception for Jade, who she seems rather close to.

"You can go and apologise later, once you feel ready. In the meantime, you're free to stay here, if that makes you comfortable."

"X is equal to three," Tyzias says automatically as she flips the page in her own book. It was... calming, actually, helping Jade with her remedial courses. Low enough effort so she could work on other stuff, and it felt nice to be tangibly helping someone. "Want me to walk you through the problem?"

Jade giggles, "Thank you but that wasn't what I was going to say, silly. I think I got it though." She writes down the answer before going back and checking her work, not that she doesn't know with certainty that Tyzias is right. She's smart like that, "The dance is in a week and I want to go."

"...okay?" Tyzias says, continuing to fill yet another dozen pages of her notebook with ideas for decoding the Tomes. She isn't getting it, Jade. You're going to have to be a bit more direct. Please forgive her dumb ass.

Jade will forgive her dumbness always. She can be a bit dense too, after all.

"I've got no one to gooo with and I wanted to go with yoouuu." There. Hopefully that's direct enough. It should be.

Oh.

"Oh."

Uh.

"Uh."

Tyzias normally would have said "fuck no" to that. But... it was Jade. She always did have a weak spot for her. But did she really have time for it? She couldn't bear those puppy eyes, though, and--

"Sure."

GOD DAMMIT WHAT DID SHE SAY

"Yaaaaay!" Jade cheered, her tail wagging hard, "We're going to have lots of fun!"

Jade, this is Tyzias you're talking to. Are you sure about that?
