[Davesprite's voice is much more quiet and subdued than normally.]

I need someone who's good with tracking wearables and shit.

I keep trying to find Bro and it says he's gone, but I'm not so great with this stuff, so. If anyone who is could confirm whether he's still here or not, that'd be great.

[ She's sitting outside of what one might recognize as Pink's door, looking a little scared. ]

Dave, I...

[ Jade doesn't really know what to say. Or what to do. So she just stares, feeling helpless. ]

action;

[memorymodus]

I guess that's true.

[ The unspoken question -- does we include the boy smashing furniture behind the door? ]

action;

[featheryasshole]

[It didn't, as a matter of fact, though it probably should have.

He glances at the door.]

Should we try talking to him?

action;

[memorymodus]

He wasn't listening. He...told me to go away.

[ And that hurt. A lot. She looks at Dave and frowns. ]

action;

[featheryasshole]

[He sighs.]

I don't think he meant it. He just. Needs time, I guess.

action;

[memorymodus]

I'm worried he'll hurt himself. [ WHAM ] Or maybe just knock the ceiling down.

action;

[featheryasshole]

I wouldn't worry- [CRASH] Okay, maybe we should do something. Did he bar the door or something?

action;

[memorymodus]

Yeah, he did. It won't open! And I'm worried, but he told me not to worry...

action;

[featheryasshole]

Screw that, we'll use the window. It's only fair if his gets broken too.

[He gets up, grabbing her hand.]

Come on.

action;

[memorymodus]

[ She follows him, holding on to his hand tightly. ]

I think his is already broken...

[ Dave keep doing the leadery thing, Jade is so happy ;u; ]

action;

[featheryasshole]

Makes it even easier for us, then.

[He is not sure if he can do the leadery thing or if he even should, but it worked out okay on Asphodel and Jade doesn't seem to mind, so.]

I can't carry you, but you've got that portal thing, right? You can use that to get in.

action;

[memorymodus]

[ She squeezes his hand reassuringly. ]

Definitely. I love you, Dave.

action;

[featheryasshole]

[OKAY HE CAN DO THIS.

Doop doop leading her outside Pink's window and flying in himself? THE BUCKET DOES NOT DETER HIM.]

[tempus_mutantur]

[ The room looks like a wolverine's been let loose inside. Then a fucking tornado. Welcome to the Land of Debris and Broken Glass.

Pink's off to the side, slumped against one of his gouged walls. Once his Anti-Troll Defense Unit goes skittering across the glass (and...plate shard??) coated floor he looks up... but only for a second.

The floor. It's fucking fascinating. ]

action 8| IT DIDN'T NOTIFY ME OF THIS WOW LJ

[memorymodus]

[ Jade shoots a portal in through the broken window and another on the cement outside, falling into the room with the soft twang of her long fall boots. ]

Dave?

[ It doesn't take her long to cross the room and kneel down in front of Pink, putting the Portal gun away and leaning in to brush a hand across his cheek. She's still fairly wary -- she's not sure what he's capable of when he's like this, but she wants to help more than anything. ]

Oh no....

action;

[featheryasshole]

[Davesprite hangs back a little, far enough to keep from crowding Pink but close enough to be there (and also to pull Jade away if necessary).]

Feeling less like bringing the roof down on us?
