Her name appears in a deep, eggplant purple, like so: Jasmine Geteilt. Assume glitches and messed up text as you like!]

Hello, everyone. The request from Palettes has convinced me that we should restore some order to how we're repainting the town here. Without cooperation, we will fail to succeed and perhaps even lose some things that are important to us in the struggle. I refuse to let that happen.

I have been trying to restore all essential and emergency services, including basic necessities like access to food and medical care. But I get caught up easily in these things, you understand, and so what the rest of the city has been doing has totally passed me by. I don't want anything to slip through our fingers, so please. Call on my for help. Share your thoughts with the rest of this network.

If you are willing, please let us know where you are working. What is completed. What still needs to be done. Surely someone will come to your aid, and if they don't, I'll see to it myself.

Oh. And my paintbrush is colored purple. If you have trouble perceiving color and need a hand with that, someone can help there, too. Though I have chromesthesia, which has made this process slightly difficult.

[Obviously, please feel free to use this post to talk amongst yourselves/to Jasmine to your hearts' content! Threadjack or hit each other up or whatever \o]

[Jasmine's out here talking to people? on purpose? did someone fucking die?]

I've been through the university district, mostly around the Hills. Got as much of it taken care of as I could on my own, so it started off black and who knows what color it is by now.

Didn't know you had syn. Knew a couple art kids who said they had it and they said it made shit pretty wild. One of 'em told me they thought that Gershwin song had the wrong name.

[Why is that so hard to believe, Anna? :/ Cooperation will be key if they ever want to succeed, after all.]

I do. My perfect pitch is basically all cheating because of that, I suppose. As for the Rhapsody I think your acquaintance was right.

You didn't run into anyone else while you were out there? I'm surprised, given all the students.

[hauntedsavior]

Ain't cheating if it's how your brain's wired. Would sure as hell make spacing out to prog rock a lot more interesting.

I didn't do it ALL by myself. I just work faster when I'm alone. You know how it is. Besides, why get married to any one color when people are gonna show up and splatter their own paint all over everything I do anyway?

[selfloving]

Honestly, it's a little inconvenient. But I suppose it could be worse.

[Remembering those enhanced senses, how they must have been completely overwhelming for the other version of herself... this should be nothing.]

Getting such an independent person to cooperate sure is difficult. The University area must be more or less complete by now. Is there anywhere else you think warrants attention?

[hauntedsavior]

[everything always could be worse. Anna smirks on her end at the idea that she's hard to make cooperate. even she knows that's bullshit by now.]

Everywhere else? Even going out into Bosuma and those places, from what I've heard. Just because all my shit's in order doesn't mean I want this city to be a mostly empty void for however long it takes the techs to fix it.

I might only be one girl, but I'm done sitting on my ass feeling sorry for myself.

[selfloving]

It sounds like you're feeling a little better. Good.

I admit I'm more concerned about making sure everyone here is safe at the bare minimum, but it's no accident that these different areas were connected to the city, either. When it's time, we can go out to one together.

[hauntedsavior]

Finding out A2 used to be a leader instead of just some soldier might have done some shit for my self-esteem. Who knew.

I'm in. But unless you feel like getting in a fight, maybe we should skip Bosuma. Those flowers do some weird shit with their pollen.

[selfloving]

There's more responsibility in being a leader. But that's comforting in some ways. It's not something to be taken lightly, but I don't think you'd shirk those duties or anything.

[Wow, that's almost like telling her she trusts her...]

Let's go, then. If you were a commanding officer, I'd rather not end up on the wrong side of your weapon, really. Maybe a trip to the coast is in order, instead.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, maybe. Bigger challenge is finding people here who'd trust me to lead them instead of just fighting next to 'em.

[she considers that for a second—how much she's gotten used to protecting people, how badly she wanted a sword so she could keep people safe. maybe she and A2 aren't that different?]

I wouldn't mind heading out that way. Shame that we won't be able to see the water, but whatever. Just hit me up whenever you want to get out of here for a bit.
