[Here, the newest Jade to the Dressing Room steps in... except, this one clearly isn't Jade. He's dressed much like a God-General, mostly black with blue highlights and designs. He also dons a cape and has a noticeable lack of glasses--replaced with a silver wreath about his head. He lacks the teasing smile that his clones doubtlessly would have, and his eyes were hauntingly empty. He seemed older than most, possibly in his early forties.]

[His only response to his new surroundings is to narrow his eyes and appear lost in thought.]

OOC: Here, have an AU!post-game!Jade. Have fun with him~

Also, NSFW.

Surprising... [Of course, he's just teasing him. ... And now he's smiling at the kiss, though trying to hide it.]

Yes. [He curls up under the covers, the smile gone just as fast as it had come up.]

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[He holds him very close, wrapping his arms around his waist to keep him warm.]

...

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

[Nocturne closes his eyes, already drifting off to sleep in Peony's embrace.] ... Goodnight...

OOC: Shall we continue this elsewhere for the next day? With your evil ideas? XD

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

[Mumbles on his hair.]

Sweet dreams.

[OOC: Sure! We can keep going until you get bored~. XD Where do you have in mind?]

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

OOC: Uhhh, Idk. XD Your journal, my journal?

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

OOC: Party at my place, Jade-face! *goes to write post~!*

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

OOC: I see the post--rofl rappig--but I'll get it tomorrow because I gotta go to sleep for work. :< Suckage. Night~

[rappigdahouse.livejournal.com]

OOC: Sure! Sleep well for work! Night~

That depends on what you mean by "too hard"~ Boo, Colonel, we thought you cared. :(

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

But you're a special case! You're a little bit different from the other Colonels. I think you'd need people to look out for you, even me! [She says this all in a very matter-of-fact voice.]

[... I read that as "mortality rate" and made a 8| face. And, well, Jade's still Jade!]

[Insert dramatic sigh here, about being third fiddle. But at least she's the first female on his list!]

If you wake up wearing someone else's pants, then yes, that was "too hard." Oh, I do care~

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

Hm? I'm probably the last person you need to worry about, Anise. [ He glances back at her, amused.] Shouldn't you be looking out for potential husbands, instead?

[Nocturne's mun thinks Anise's mun needs new glasses. And Anise will always be Anise~]

[No, that would be Luke. ... Oh, whoops~]

What if we woke up with your pants on, Colonel :|

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Well, I think you're one of the first people I need to be worried about. So I guess my search for potential husbands can be put on hold for a little while. ♥

[Now that you mention it, it's about time for Anise's mun to have her yearly eye check. :|;;]

[Oh snap. Anise just can't win, can she?]

Then I would watch out for the morning sickness in a few weeks.

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

How considerate of you... Would there be anyone here that I don't know, by the way? I've seen two Lukes... Which is quite odd.

[Nope. Anise will never win~ Not with Jade. Maybe if you beg hard enough.]

... Does this at least come with benefits? Like health insurance? A share in inheritance?

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[She settles for a more serious tone - playtime's over for the moment! Even Anise knows when to be serious.]

Not that I've seen, really... Mostly people we know, or are at least familiar with. There are a lot of red-heads, though.

[Ffff, begging. That's where we draw the line. Usually. Will there be cookies?]

Mm... You'll be one of the few I don't destroy; how about that? |)

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

[She does?]

... Really... [He appears to be relieved, somewhat. This world was certainly better than his hell on Auldrant. If it was only people he knew... then perhaps his walls might come down a bit more.]

[Oh, plenty of cookies. Just watch out for the... rohypnol~]

We still want a cut of your inheritance money.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[Of course she does. Honest.]

Is... that a bad thing? For you, I mean?

[fdjakja run Anise, ruuuun!

... But your creeper!Jade makes me want to try an older!Anise just to see what he'll do. Or does he not swing that way~? |D]

Oh, fine. It's not like I'll be doing anything with it.

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

Not at all... [And he's not willing to reveal much more on the subject, so he doesn't.] Why would three or more of you be a bad thing?

[To be honest, he's more... um... pansexual/asexual? but I'm sure an older Anise might get him going~ If you can get him away from Peony up there. They kinda, uh... did stuff. BUT THAT'S WHAT PRIVATE JOURNALS ARE FOR, RIGHT.]

SCORE! B) I mean, thank you, Colonel! <3

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Oh, not more of me - think of how much cute that would be! But, more than one Luke or Asch would be hard to handle, wouldn't it~? Or think about it - I know there's more than a couple of Dist's running around!

[Fff "kinda did stuff" - there's no need to censor their antics from Anise. I'm sure she has a vague idea - if not a clear one - of what they could've been up to. PRIVATE JOURNALS ARE GOOD TOO. /looks for older!Anise icons now.]

Mm. But you'll be out a husband...

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

Too much cute for the world to handle, I presume. ... Hm. [To himself:] I'd rather have more than none...

... Yes, I've noticed. Unfortunately.

[Well, she is twelve. Or thirteen. I forgot. ... Oh~? Well, you'll have to compete with Jade's crush on Peony he's had since he was a teen~]

With all that money, she may not need one!

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

More than none? Well, that does make sense... [There's a beat of silence as she's putting two and two together.] ... Did something happen to the Luke you knew?

[Sh-she's fifteen, post-game? :'D And she's probably settled on that. After all, she knows that all the good men are gay. Well, in this canon, anyway. In any case, there's a lack of older!Anise icons, so that may not be happening, after all |D]

Oh, so lovely to see you care about me, Anise.

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

[He didn't realize she heard him until she said something.] Hm? Of course not. Where did you get that idea from?

[Oh, right. Haha, well... He has some good reasons as to why he likes Peony. |D Aww, just fudge them! I don't care!]

Oh, but Colonel! You're our favorite guy! :>

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Boo, Colonel. I'm not deaf - or stupid - you know.

[W-we'll see what I can manage to do |D Just - if an older!Anise appears here at the DR, it's Nocturne's fault. Yes. :>]

Oh, no. I know you're lying. Guy's your favorite Guy. As for MEN... /Jadetotallycan'tbemacho

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

Oh, I never said you were.

Now, how about we go back to finding out more about this place, hmm? I'm curious to see more of it.

[I'm sure you can find black-haired, brown-eyed older girls for icons. XD Even anime ones. Okay~]

Aha, that's true. You got me there, Colonel. :o

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[And now she frowns, starting to get fed up with this game Jade seems intent on playing. She looks up at the much taller man, genuinely concerned.]

Something happened to the Luke you knew, didn't there? Colonel...

[I blame you (http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=fonmasterpink). :|]

<3 It's what I do best.

[nocturnediviner.livejournal.com]

[He looked down at her, frowning somewhat.] ... Really, Anise... If you wish to know the truth, then you've been warned.

Asch... As a result of the contamination effect, the Big Bang... He was the one who was revived. I only found out soon after Eldrant's destruction. I was working on some fonon research, particularly how to go about without the Planet Storm, when he... found me. He was severely wounded, supposedly from his "death" and... begged me to sin again. [He turned away, closing his eyes.] I was able to preserve the replica's memories... but he died not long after, and it sparked a war between Kimlasca and Malkuth once again...

Peony... He died because of my foolish actions. I... couldn't save one person. Not one... [He hated explaining this to so many people... but it was a sign he trusted Anise.]

[I THINK I LOVE YOU NOW. You did such a good job~ I can't believe you found those icons!]

You can do *anything*, can't you, Colonel~?

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

But - what...? Asch made you-... but after everything we did-! He was... I thought he was on our... [Her small hand darts out to catch Jade's wrist in a perhaps-perhaps-not trembling grip.]

And the Emperor, too... Oh, Colonel...! [And she latches onto him in an embrace - because he's been suffering all this time, hasn't he? All alone. She can't even imagine what it would be like if all her friends disappeared, one by one by one...]

[I just cropped some of the j!art I managed to find |D I'm really no good at genuine iconmaking XD]
