[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.

[... Well, this is a nice development. She'll allow herself a triumphant grin when (she thinks) he isn't looking. Mission accomplished! Even if it was at her pride's expense (Ow.), it worked, at least!

But that was still an insult, gdit. And Anise needs to keep up the ruse!]

Boo, Colonel! That wasn't very nice at all-!!

[ooc: All in a day's work!]

[He's noticed that grin, and he stops laughing, lowering his hands.]

What wasn't very nice? I'm always nice. [And he's almost feeling like his old self again, surrounded by those he cares about...]

... Well, I do know that deep down - you are really nice, Colonel.

[And she smiles, herself. It's not much, but it's a start. We'll crack through the frost around your heart and soul soon, Jade.]

... Hm. [Jade's touched again, though he's not showing it. Warm fuzzies are practically foreign to him.] If you say so.

Or it could be a cleverly-constructed ruse on my part.

I seriously doubt that~ ♥

... Though I wouldn't put it past you... You're good at cleverly-constructing things.

...

[Have a creeper smile...] Why Anise... You're too kind.

[Yeah, that smile doesn't faze her anymore. She's far too trusting in you Jade. Whether or not this is a bad thing, we'll just have to wait and see-!]

I know! ♥ Or maybe I'm just wonderfully honest~?

[Oh? Too trusting? Well, now, Nocturne will just have to fix that...]

Indeed... That, too. [And so he picks the other up, sitting her on his arm and beginning to carry her off ~~into the sunset~~ towards what looks like a forest. A rather dark forest. Where your screams of pain won't be heard.]

[Goodbye, sweet Anise.]

H-hey - put me down, Colonel! I'm perfectly capable of walking -- I'm not a little girl! [flail flail flail--]

-- Unless you've changed your mind~? ♥

[Ohhhhh snap, what've you gotten yourself into now, Anise?]

Oh, don't try to resist... Of course. [He doesn't seem at all convinced, and just keeps a grip on her as she flails.]

... Hm...

Hardly. I'm just curious as to just how brittle a young human's bones are... [And they're in the forest, now.] It's purely for scientific purposes.

Young human bones? [Have a little laugh, Jade.] You're not going to skin me alive, are you, Colonel~? And drink my blood? You're plenty strong as it is!

[She does stop resisting, and is just taking advantage of her position to fiddle with his hair and his clothes and other annoying things she'd never be able to do.]

Oh, dear heavens, no. What do you think I am?

Those "willing participants" would have to be at least sixteen.

[He just lets her. After all, it'll be the last thing she does.]

[... And surprise, a rather large beast comes out of the middle of nowhere. He really should have expected this, but that's exactly why he chose to check the forest. So there were monsters here, as well. Hopefully they were confined to the forest...]

[He quickly set Anise down and stepped forward, the ground around him glowing into a fonic glyph. The monster looked like a very large wolf, with all the fangs and claws to match its ferocity.]

Bring all to ash and ruin...! [He extended his arm, feeling the fonons almost completely overtake him.] EXPLOSION!

[And the area around the wolf, including the monster, was completely engulfed in flames and incinerated. The flames died out soon after, a complete bare spot left in the forest.]

[This Jade was not to be messed with...]

[And Anise shrinks back a little bit where he left her standing. She has Tokunaga in her arms, ready to be enlarged for a fight, but she seems to be clutching at the little doll tighter than she normally would.]

W-woah... It's completely disappeared...!

[She stares at Jade wide-eyed.]

... [He lowers his arm, sighing.] ... I suppose it was too much to hope for a completely peaceful world...

[He just stares forward, lifting a hand to lightly touch the silver wreath about his head.] ... This is both weaker and better made than my glasses were. My fonic artes strengthened tenfold.

I've no need to hold back, now.

... I think that there are monsters everywhere. [She fiddles with Tokunaga's little arms, and tilts her head to the side a little.] We have to protect ourselves and others from them, that's all.

[She eyes the silver wreath. Jade, your glasses suited you better. This wreath is tacky.] But - what's it for? Why would you need to go all out? That wolf was... [She trails off. That was a bit much, even for the Necromancer.]

[His suspicion's confirmed, so they don't need to stay in the forest any longer, so he begins to leave.]

[So what if it's tacky? >(] ... It serves the same purpose as my glasses did.

[And he frowns.] It's kill or be killed, Anise. You know that. [Nocturne is definitely different from Jade... especially since he now barely has any control over the strength of his artes. He must need that strength for something...] I suggest you don't stand there too long, lest something else come out of the woodworks.

Not that you can't handle it, of course, but it's better not to fight at all, mm?

[Oh, she's following you, Jade. She isn't going to let you out of her sight just yet. Though there's a measured distance between the two of them, now.] I liked your glasses better.

... I know that, Colonel. It's just - I've never seen you kill something that ruthlessly before. [It was a little out of control.]

And of course I can handle it! But yeah, it's better if I don't get Tokunaga all dirty by facing a monster, I guess.

[Don't worry, he would never hurt you, Anise. Anyone from the party or Malkuth is safe. As for Kimlasca... That's a much different story.] They hindered my ability too much for what I need.

... My strength is not something I can easily control with this. If I happen to find a spare pair of fontech glasses laying around, I'll pick them up.

[He just hummed. He hadn't meant to scare her with his sudden burst of energy... Well, experience noted and learned from.]

Not easily controlled? That sounds kind of risky-! [Oh dear, you've gone and worried her now.] I know that there are one or two other Colonels here - maybe you could borrow a pair?

[That's good to know, though Anise herself has learned her own lesson about keeping an acceptable amount of space between the two of them. She's at least learned the meaning of elbow-room. For now. |D]

[Oh, a worried Anise is never a good thing. They tend to get nosy that way.] I will. Thank you for the concern.

[Though maybe he's come to enjoy being more ruthless... just a bit.]

[But if you want to marry him, you need even less than elbow room during the honeymoon~]

No problem~! Someone's still got to watch out for you, right? ♥

[That's - a little troubling. Let's hope that he doesn't teach her to be the same - considering she's still caught up in wanting to be like Jade when she gets older, this may be a problem o/]

[This is true. Shall we work on remedying this, then? ;D Except Anise won't stand for playing second fiddle to a certain Emperor. She most definitely will not.]

Hm, I suppose so. Though shouldn't it be the other way around?

[Aw, how sweet. Be like the other Jades and not like this one. His morality isn't too high, anymore...]

[Oh, never. You'd be third fiddle. Guy's second.]

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!]

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~]

Okay, bedtime! |D

/back after horrendously long day and passing out |D

Now, now, Anise. What have we told you about drinking too much.

Umm. Don't drink too much, don't party too hard and try to stay a virg-... something like that! :>

... Anise... Did you party too hard? >( *Unconcerned about the other two.*

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

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