[Jade is grinning into the camera, looking pretty different. She's wearing fancy pajamas, just like John, except hers sparkle. She's also got white dog ears.]

Hi! Um, sorry, everyone. But I am back now! I hope I didn't worry anyone. Was I gone long?

[There's a pause, then Jade shifts the camera so that those furry ears are in full view.]

And where have you been? And what the hell is on your head?

[respaces]

I went home. And they're ears!

[LOOK SHE CAN EVEN WIGGLE THEM ISN'T THAT WEIRD.]

[xuffasch]

That's abnormal.

Were you the victim of genetic experimentation?

video;

[respaces]

No! Jeez, you are such a jerk!

[xuffasch]

You have animal ears. What would a proper reaction to that be?

video;

[respaces]

I don't know. I think they're cool!

video;

[xuffasch]

How did you acquire them?

video;

[respaces]

Um... It's kind of complicated! But I merged with my dreamself, who was also my sprite, and she had ears.

[Worst... explanation...]

video;

[xuffasch]

That was the worst explanation I've ever heard.

[respaces]

Do you want the really long one?

video;

[xuffasch]

Only if it makes more sense.

[respaces]

Okay, I'll try!

So, um, my friends and I sort of... Got sucked into this video game.

video;

[xuffasch]

A virtual world? Fair enough.

And the game turned you into a dog?

video;

[respaces]

No! See, every player gets two lives. But if you die in a special way, you merge with your second life, and mine just happened to have been prototyped with my dog!

I believe you just repeated what I said, but added a few unnecessary clauses.

[She just sighs.]
