[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.

[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~]

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?]

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.]

[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?]

[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~]

[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]

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.]

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.]

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~]

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]

[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!]

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, 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~]

[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). :|]

[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!]

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]

[He smiles weakly at her stuttering, sighing and reaching down to pick her up and hold her. It wasn't something he normally did, but then again, since when was Nocturne normal?]

The Score on my Auldrant couldn't be changed. I hate to say, but Van was right... and also died in vain. I've come to understand quite a few things about how the planet works, though now I'm not so sure they apply to anyone else's. ... I'm all right, Anise. The people I know are here: you, Luke, Peony... For the first time, I'm happy. It's just... jarring... to end up here and have to let go of my past so quickly.

[He carefully stroked over one of her pigtails. He really didn't appreciate the people he liked, did he...? Maybe now he could change that.]

[Oh god, you don't want to know what I have planned... I wanted to make a Luke, but make him like... AU or a crossover, and uh... Two words: Sailor Auldrant.]

[Her small arms freeze a little, when he actually returns the embrace - she's caught off-guard, so unused to that kind of display of affection from the Colonel. But she stays in his arms, moving only so he can face him better.]

An Auldrant that's chained to the Score... That means - even Ion's death was... [Her voice catches a little bit, and she turns away for a moment. When she looks back, her eyes are resolute.] Colonel, if you're happy here - you can't possibly go back. That kind of Auldrant... It's... You have to stay here where you won't ever have to lose us again, okay? Because in this world we're not ever going to leave you! [Her logic may be childish, but she means well. Jade, we want you to smile more often - we want you to be happy.]

[And she smiles a little when he strokes her hair like that. She thinks that this kind of affection will probably be a one-time thing, so she'll take what she can from Jade for the moment.]

[... You know, I did draw the playable-cast in sailor fukus once. I should dig up that sketch and show you |D (hivemind ftfw |D]

Okay, bedtime! |D

Awww, okay. Night!

/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~

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

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

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

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

We still want a cut of your inheritance money.

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

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

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

With all that money, she may not need one!

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

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

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

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

<3 It's what I do best.

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

Or anyone. ... Oops, did I say that out loud?

It's true, though. Jade can be universally shipped with anyone. Just like Guy |D

|D Jade/Aslan. I'VE SEEN IT.

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN |D

See below. SORRY FOR LATE REPLY, ELUSIVE PICS WERE ELUSIVE.

Don't even talk to me about being late /IS LATE FOREVER.

rofl oh well, sorry. :<

:o ♥?
