| Synopsis | |||
| jade |
Our fourth kid is the sleepy Jade Harley. She lives alone on a tropical island next to her Grandpa’s old object of study, a lagoon filled with mystic frog ruins. Jade’s only companion is Becquerel, an immortal dog with powers of teleportation, who keeps her out of the ruins. Jade’s dead Grandpa left her a house full of big game trophies and fantastic technology. She has a dreambot, a robot avatar that mimics her actions and lets her pester chums while she is dreaming. | ||
| prospit |
When Jade sleeps, her dreaming self wakes and flies around on Prospit, a golden planet in the Medium, home to the kingdom of white-shelled creatures that Nannasprite described as the forces of light. Prospit has a golden moon attached to the planet by a giant golden chain. Dream Jade and Dream John live on Prospit’s moon, which periodically swings into the bright skies of Skaia because of how closely Prospit orbits Skaia. When this happens, Dream Jade watches the clouds and sees visions in them, learning things that are mysterious to the other kids. Dream John has never woken. His dreams, troubled and vague, have caused him to unconsciously deface his walls in both worlds while sleepwalking. | ||
| technology |
Fleeing from the forest fire, Rose enters the neighbouring laboratory, where she finds meteor-tracking and ectobiology gizmos and a power source. Discovering that the lab itself is marked for a violent impact, she escapes to her house with Jaspers’ corpse and a mutant kitten. Rose and Nannasprite help John defeat the Crude Ogres. After finding more birthday presents in Dad’s distressingly normal bedroom, John finally sees the graffiti on the walls of his own room which his conscious mind has repressed until now. Then he plays with the alchemizer while Rose builds his house up to the First Gate. In the desolate future, a white-shelled Peregrine Mendicant finds a mobile command station that flies her to the mystic ruins. She and the Wayward Vagabond must take cover from the aggression of a black-shelled Aimless Renegade who has claimed the ruins as a crime scene. Together, they help deliver a package from John to Jade that needs to be sent into Jade’s past to complete a time loop. The package to Jade was one of three gifts John sent when his friends turned thirteen. He gave knitting needles to Rose and celebrity aviators to Dave. Since at least that time, the kids have been getting messages from internet trolls who claim to be from outside their universe. | ||

| exits and entries |
Dad’s black-shelled kidnappers have led him to the purple kingdom of darkness that is Prospit’s enemy. Dad makes trouble for his captors and their archagent, Jack Noir. Before Noir can punish him, Dad does Jack a surprising turn by destroying the harlequin hat that Jack wears under duress. Jack lets Dad go free. Bro drops his copies of Sburb for Dave and flies away on a rocket board. Dave installs the game as Rose’s server player and helps her get started. They prototype Rose’s kernel with Jaspers and a tentacle princess doll. After many difficulties and a leap of faith, Rose enters the game. Meanwhile, two other entries happen: John fights his way up to his First Gate and jumps through, while Jade enters the mystic ruins for the first time and finds a flowering lotus-shaped time capsule. | ||
