Waaaaaait.

*Patting the top of her own head.* How come you get those barkbeast auricular clots and I don't? They're cute! I want a pair.

[dogwitch]

[Jade wiggles her ears and grins.]

You know how my kernelsprite was my guardian, Bec? Well, the second prototying was done with my dead dream self so when I reached God Tier I fused with my kernelsprite. And the ears stuck.

[Along with other things like canine sense and the urge to chase after cats and cars and to randomly bark every now and again.

[necronomicod]

Oh.

Huh! I didn't know you could do that! I still want a pair.

[dogwitch]

Maybe Rose could knit you a pair? They wouldn't be exactly like mine but you could wear them?

[necronomicod]

No... no, I don't think they'd be as cute. And they wouldn't move! That's the best part.

Oh whale.

[dogwitch]

[Jade giggles.] That's true.

So. Anywhere you wish to go?

[necronomicod]

Anywhere! I've never been to a human city before!

What's the best part?

[dogwitch]

I don't know. This is my first time in a city like this. The park was kind of nice.

[Jade's ears flick back and forth as she thinks.]

[necronomicod]

Then let's go there!

[dogwitch]

Okay. [She takes Feferi's hand and without warning the scenery around them changes to that of Central Park.]

Here we are! [She smiles widely and releases the other girl's hand.]

[necronomicod]

*OKAY NOT EXPECTING THAT Feferi looks a bit dizzy, queasy, and thoroughly disoriented.* --!

[dogwitch]

[Jade gives Feferi a worried look.] Oh! I'm so sorry! I should have gave you some kind of warning first. Um...here.

[She gently guides the other girl to a bench so she can sit.]

[necronomicod]

Y-yeah. If you could... glub me a warning next time... that would be super. *Sitting to catch her breath!*

[dogwitch]

[She gives a sheepish laugh.] Sorry. I was just super excited.

[necronomicod]

That's-- it's okay! I get excited too! There's nothing wrong with it! I think. Ooh, my cranial case is all spinning a bit... do I look green around the gills to you?

[dogwitch]

[Jade started to say "Considering you now lack gills" but stopped herself, thinking that would probably be insensitive.]

A little. I'll get you a some water. [One moment she's there and then she gone and then she's back again pressing a bottle of cold water into Fef's hand.]

[necronomicod]

*Quickly, glugging that shit down.

Actually, she seems better already. That was fast!* Oh! That helped a plankton! Thanks!

[dogwitch]

[Jade beams.] Good!

Anyway this is the park. Lots of trees and squirrels... [Come to think of it maybe the park wasn't the best idea. Because she was starting to feel the urge to chase after said squirrels and bark at them.]

[necronomicod]

I can tell! The air's so fresh, and the sun's so warm, and--

--*Wait a minute. Something's just occurring to her.

Hold on. She's going to look up directly at the sun, shielding her eyes with her hand.*

[dogwitch]

[Jade's a little distracted by a nearby squirrel, she lets out a low growl but manages to snap her attention back to Feferi.]

Huh?

[necronomicod]

The sun isn't burning us.

Does that mean that somefin's wrong?

[dogwitch]

[She smiles.] Humans don't get burned by the sun.

...Well, that's not entirely true. If you spend too long out in the sun you will get burned and it hurts and itches.

[necronomicod]

Really?! That's amazing!

On Alternia, the sun is so strong that almost NOBODY can go out during the day! That's how Terezi got blinded, too!

But you can go out here during the day and everything's okay? Wow!

[dogwitch]

[Jade nods, smiling brighter.] Yup! Humans sleep at night and do all the fun stuff during the day. Or so I've be lead to believe.

Living on a island away from civilization has meant not really knowing how other people live.

[necronomicod]

That's totally the opposite of how it is on Alternia! That's so interesting!

...why did you live there?
