I seem to have gotten myself into quite a pickle.
Not only am I soaking wet, which is nearly ten times as worse when you have a long gown on, I am also freezing.
Can anyone tell me where in good heavens name I have ended up?
Direct me to some warmer clothing?

[Yeah, Jane looks like a drowned rat. This is not how she imagined she would be spending this day.]

[Holy shit brigh-- wait. Hold on. That's Nannasprite's color. But...Nanna is a harlequin who is also kind of a ghost but mostly a sprite. How can she feel cold? Or have wet clothes for that matter?]

nanna?
or...wait. wait.
jane?

[If Jane = alt. future Nanna, then maybe they type in the same color?]

[oceanbreasts]

[ After Dave's arrival, signaling that it was the time for new people to be showing up again, Roxy quickly made her way out to the coral to watch, just like she did every month since she and Dirk arrived, for her other two best friends. And if today isn't the day she'll come back tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and next month, until they do.

But today? Today is that day. For at least one of them. ]

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY------!!

[ And it's the only warning Jane gets before Roxy slams herself into her and... promptly sends the both of them to the ground. ]

[overbiterestart]

[Jane hadn't even put away that strange communicator for more than a moment before she was getting barreled into. Holy gracious, who in the wor--oh. It was Roxy.

Oh dear, she was getting Roxy just as soaked as she was. The guilt in her face later when she cared to think of this. Right now she's heading towards the ground again and wrapping her arms tight around Roxy.]

We were just standing right next to each other! Are you quite alright?

[But Roxy isn't wearing her suave Derse pajamas. Which signals there is definitely something going on.]

[overbiterestart]

[Uh. Why does this fellow know her name? Well. Hm.]

How do you know who I am? Why did you just call me Nanna?

[oceanbreasts]

[ it's janey it's janey it's janey it's janey it's--oh she's saying stuff hold on focus ]

What, no. This place has some weird ass time shenananigans going on. Dirk 'n I have been here for like four months and it's just been us and I've missed you so much.

[ Hold on she'll get up in a minute just... give her a little bit to get her appropriate amount of BFF cuddle time in. ]

[overbiterestart]

[There is so much stuff she could tell Roxy. But she supposes it's something her and Dirk need to hear- so she won't even begin mentioning it.

Time shenanigans again, gracious she can't ever escape them.]

Four months? Golly, that is a long time. I'm here now. But really perplexed as to why I'm here?

[She won't protest, but Roxy, she is freezing.]

[oceanbreasts]

[ Her body heat is all you need to feel warm!!

...Yeah, no, this being wet thing is pretty uncomfortable, Roxy'll go ahead and get up again before helping Jane to her feet. ]

Dunno! Experiment, s'far as we can tell. Let's get some towels.

[ And, sure enough, it takes roughly five seconds for towels to be located and passed out so drying can happen. ]

[overbiterestart]

[She appreciates it! Her friend is a dandy little heater! But unfortunately Jane's Prospit pajama's are a little heavy, and thus Jane is wetter than she wants to be.

Making her extremely cold. She needs dry clothes.]

Haven't we had quite enough adventure back home? [She begins drying her hair, toweling it sufficiently before wrapping the towel around her shoulders.]

[oceanbreasts]

Dunno. Prob'ly. The bubble clearly doesn't think so, though.

[ Roxy drapes her own towel around her shoulders as well and hums in thought as she looks at the soaking wet gold pajamas. The decision is made almost instantly, and she reaches down to grab Jane's hand before walking off and tugging her along. ]

C'mon! Let's go get you some totally adorable new clothes.

[toheirishuman]

[He considers pulling a prank here but, well, it's a little too late for that given what he's already said. Plus, honestly the truth is so bizarre that it may as well BE a prank.]

because i am your alt-universe grandson who is technically actually your son while simultaneously also being your grandfather.
and your button-pushing lab dad, i guess.

[overbiterestart]

[Wow what kind of malarkey is this strange boy spitting out. She can't even begin to decipher that. She doesn't know if she really wants to.]

I have no earthly idea what you are trying to say here. That was something between gibberish, and something akin to straight bulldozed nonsense.

Could you perhaps try to be clearer?

[overbiterestart]

I'll tell you everything when we meet with Dirk. I'm sure I'll just find a place to stay, but I need to know what you both know so I'll be aware of what parts need to be filled in.

[Oh. She'll just. Hold her best friends's hand and go to get some super adorable new clothing. She is glad to be in a place where Roxy and Dirk are..but.]

What about Jake? Is he not here? [He also important to the filling in.] In the meantime, new clothing sounds like a splendid idea.

/quiet trolljack.

[seeriouswizness]

Jane, dear, what he's trying to say is that he is your smoking hot grandfather.

[overbiterestart]

Oh. That makes a bit more sense but, does he have any proof?

[oceanbreasts]

Not yet! But since you're here now, I've got high hopes for him. Dirk 'n I picked this really sweet house with four rooms and we've kept two of them empty just for the two of you.

[ Always thinking ahead! Or well... okay, Dirk is always thinking ahead, but Roxy is always think of friends, and combined, they got the right house. ]

Also pretty much everything here is free, unless you want super special stuff from like home or something, but basically everything else is one hundred percent snaggable.

[ But then she pauses and turns as a sudden thought hits her and she plants both of her hands on to Jane's shoulders. ]

Snap I just realized. If and when Jakey shows up, are you gonna tell him? 'Cause I mean Dirk's here too and now the two of you will have a primo chance to shake what you've got at him to entice Mr. English and it's going to be so embarrassing and facepalm-worthy to watch.

[ Roxy Lalonde: considers the important issues. ]

[seeriouswizness]

Proof that he's your grandfather?
Or proof that he's smoking hot?
Does the name John ring any bells to you?
Perhaps Sassacre?
Dave Strider or Rose Lalonde, mayhaps?
I can provide the proof that he's attractive, if that's what you were actually looking for.

whoops where am i threadjacking i can't decide

[toheirishuman]

oh my god rose no!
that's not what i was trying to say, stop it what are you doing!?

[seeriouswizness]

Helping.

[toheirishuman]

more like the opposite is true!

[overbiterestart]

That is...really considerate of you two. I'm glad I have the both of you.

[Jane will give Roxy credit to. Combined her and Dirk are two very good friends. She could never ask for better.]

Then let's go snag something dry, what do you say?

[dkfhksjdf, ROXY! Jane is going to be red faced for now and forever. Why is that even important?! But, since she asked.]

No. I'm not going to tell him. Quite some time ago I encouraged Jake to pursue Strider if that was what he felt he needed to do. They are best friends you know, so if pursuing him is really what Jake desires I won't stand in the way.

[seeriouswizness]

No, I assure you.
My assistance is simply the most circuitously useful help there is.

[overbiterestart]

Proof that he is my grandfather, and the a reason for why he's calling me Nanna. I don't remember being a grandmother at fifteen.
John?
Sassacre rings a bell.

Oh gracious you aren't giving me enough time to think! Strider and Lalonde ring bells.

[seeriouswizness]

My apologies.
I do not mean to tax you any.
Though the explanation is a very confusing one for anyone who hasn't quite grasped the mechanics of SBURB, so I'm not sure exactly how better off you would be should I give you a direct explanation.
And I have a feeling John would also like to be the one to explain some things as well.

[oceanbreasts]

[ SLUMP. ]

Janey no. Why. Why is that a thing you would say or allow you are breaking my heart.

[ DRAMATIC. SIGH. ]

You 'n I are gonna hash that out later right now we need to get you dry 'n stuff.

[ Truth be told, she could just take Jane back to the house; there are clothes in her closet already. But Roxy wants a little BFF alone time.

Besides, the Striders are having a Moment anyway. ]

[overbiterestart]

I haven't been participating in SBURB for much time. Perhaps if there were a visual representation of what is trying to be explained it would help.
Don't worry yourself over apologizing, this is all a lot to take in right now.
