Maelstrom
n:a situation or state of confused movement or violent turmoil.
Part 4: July 2013
Jade hadn't paid much attention to the older Vega girl before, but now, it seemed, she was everywhere. Her videos popped up as 'suggested videos' on USlap. Her face showed up among the icons of her Twitter followers. She was even prevalent in the dumb, overly 'feminized' magazines Jade thumbed through while waiting for her hairdresser. If she was even a little bit superstitious, she would probably think she was being haunted by the conceited, vapid girl.
In a vain attempt to comprehend the love this girl received, Jade watched a few of her videos, but she saw few redeeming qualities in this girl. Sure, she was relatively attractive, but she had the brains of a goldfish, the elevated self-importance of a young child, and the personality of an obnoxious hyena. So why, Jade asked herself, would Beck prefer Trina? There was nothing good in Trina that was not equally evident in herself, right? But, perhaps the more important question, why did she care? Even though she told herself repeatedly she didn't (and shouldn't) care about what Beck thought of Trina, that Beck was just a friend and could, accordingly, date whoever he wanted, she knew the truth – that Beck, the most popular USlapper of all time, had grown on her to a point that her emotions had become inexplicably intertwined with his. And that – beyond anything – terrified her.
Like her "USlap counterpart" , she'd never really been very open, particularly with her emotions. The mere thought of a relationship, per se, scared her to death. And yet here she was, with a "crush" on her fellow USlapper, feeling pretty damn pathetic at this point. After all, it wasn't like he would ever like her back.
She groaned internally, wondering at what point she had become a forlorn little schoolgirl. Just terrific.

"Jade?"
Jade blinked, snapping herself back into reality. "Oh, sorry. I just woke up."
"It's 6:00," Tori oh-so-helpfully pointed out.
"Yeah, my sleep schedule's all screwed up," Jade answered, biting back the vicious insults that threatened to pour out. "Haven't been able to sleep lately for whatever reason."
"We felt you, dawg," Andre reassured her. "We just wanted to say we're switching maps – going for a desert setting this time. Should be fun."
"Cool," Jade responded, trying (and failing) to sound enthusiastic.
"Your enthusiasm astounds me as always, Jade," Beck teased with a laugh as the game loaded, switching to the 'preparing' mode. As always when the gang played Trouble in Terrorist Town, Beck started in with his ridiculous rules. "Everyone who's not a traitor, get on the car."
"It's not even done preparing yet!" Andre spluttered. "We don't even know who the traitor is yet!"
"Doesn't matter," Beck replied confidently. "If you're not on the car, we have the right to assume that you're a traitor and, of course, eliminate you."
"Like hell I'm going on a car with all of you without a gun!" Andre shot back.
"Why do you need a gun?" Jade asked, laughing – she'd snagged a gun at the very beginning and joined Beck and Tori on the car. "Only traitors need guns."
"I need to protect myself!" Andre protested.
"If you're not on the car in ten seconds, we're going to find you and kill you," Tori warned him ominously. After counting all the way to ten, Andre was still nowhere to be found, so the other three headed off to locate him.
"Where are you, Andre?" Beck sang.
"I'm in this place that looks like a desert," Andre responded with a chuckle. "I can see sand and dust and yellow stuff."
"Helpful," Jade remarked dryly. Given that they were in a desert map, that description matched the majority of the land – and therefore didn't help them at all.
"C'mon, Andre," Tori begged. "Give us a hint or something."
"Yeah, man," Beck joined in, sounding completely unconvincing. "If we find you, we won't kill you or whatever. We just wanna be friends."
Andre snorted. "Yeah, right, like I'll believe that. You think I'm the traitor, but you won't kill me, hm?"
"I'm not gonna lie, Andre," Jade told him, using her 'scary voice'. "If I find you, I'm gonna have to shoot you."
"At least you're honest," Andre grumbled under his breath.
"Fine!" Beck said loudly, interrupting his friends. "Let's all meet up at the car and forgive Andre."
"I don't think I can forgive him," Jade replied darkly.
"Be a team player, Jade," Beck chided her. Reluctantly, she followed the other two back to the car, but as she stood on it, a grenade landed nearby, sending the whole car up in flames. Jade immediately jumped off, pointing her gun at the perpetrator.
"It was YOU!" Jade hissed at Tori, shooting the other girl down – but still, the game did not end. She cursed under her breath. "Who is it then? And why did you throw that grenade?"
"It seemed like a good idea at the time," Tori replied sheepishly.
With a roll of her eyes, Jade followed Beck and began shooting him as well – she knew she wasn't the traitor, so it was a half and half chance, right? Beck immediately screamed. "Stop shooting me! I'm not the traitor. Andre is. Those are the rules!"
"Sorry, man," Jade halfheartedly apologized as she tossed a grenade down to where Beck was hidden, killing him on impact. When the game still didn't finish, she sighed loudly. "So it was Andre!"
"I told you," Beck reprimanded her. "My rules are always the best, Jade."
Jade, however, was quite low on health from her shootouts with Beck and Tori, and was concerned for the outcome of this match. Her concern proved valid, also, when Andre popped out of nowhere and struck her down with a single shot. The screen flashed, saying "TRAITORS WIN", and Jade groaned.
"This is why we should all follow my rules," Beck informed everyone. "If you'd just listened to me, the traitors wouldn't have won…"
"Shut up, Beck," Jade and Tori both chorused.
They respawned in the midst of the deserted building. "Jade's so sly when she plays this game," Beck commented absently. "It's hard for us to trust her because she always acts like the traitor."
Deciding to simply prove his point further, Jade popped out from the doorway. "Hi."
"See?" Beck yelped. "Silent but deadly, man."
Jade rolled her eyes but, knowing they couldn't see her, said, "Let's all meet up in the market, okay?"
They all agreed and soon after, arrived in the marketplace, the center of the map. True to his nature, Andre immediately picked up a melon, making weird noises before announcing, "I'm selling juicy melons, but I only accept payment via song."
"Don't sing," Jade warned Beck sharply.
"I'll sing!" Tori jumped in, sounding as perky as ever. "Here I am, once again…"
"That's the song of terrorism," Jade muttered sharply, half-smiling at Andre and Beck's resounding laughter.
The group of friends didn't party for long in the marketplace, though, because one of them threw an incendiary grenade. In seconds, the grenade exploded, setting the entire marketplace ablaze. Andre gasped, obviously personally victimized by the choice of weaponry. "My fruit's on fire!"
"I didn't throw that grenade," Tori claimed immediately.
"The fact that you need to clarify that makes me think that it was you – especially since you threw that grenade last time," Jade informed her suspiciously, taking out her gun and firing a few test shots in Tori's direction.
"Ladies," Beck said nervously. "Stop shooting. Let's all just calm down and –"
"She's a traitor, I swear!" Jade interrupted, shooting a few more times at Tori – which, in turn, caused Tori to fire back at her, dangerously decreasing Jade's health.
"Stop shooting!" Andre commanded loudly.
"Whatever," Jade replied, momentarily ceasing fire on the younger Vega. "I'll give you a test, Vega. America, yes or no?"
"No," Tori said flatly as Beck simultaneously answered with a "Yes!"
"She said no! And she's actually American! Definitely a terrorist," Jade informed them all smartly.
"I said yes, so that means I'm not a terrorist," Beck informed the group.
"But you're Canadian," Jade reminded him. "That voids it out." She then proceeded to hunt down and attempt to assassinate the "traitorous" Tori, but was shot down by her instead and killed. Silently, she fumed – how dare she? "Some people just suck," she muttered to herself.
'I'm sorry, Tori, but I'm gonna have to think you're the traitor," Beck said calmly, gunning down the girl. When she, however, proved to be innocent, Beck gave a loud gasp. "It's Jade. It's so Jade."
"I'm dead," Jade told him flatly.
"Then it's Andre?!" Beck gasped again, seeming more and more surprised by this game every round.
Jade laughed. "Sorry, Vega. I totally thought it was you."
"I did throw the grenade," Tori admitted sheepishly.
"Well, that's why then," Jade grumbled. "You've got to stop lighting things on fire, pyromaniac."
As they spoke, Beck proceeded to shoot down Andre, leading to a victory for the innocent. Beck chuckled to himself. "It's funny. We never think it's Andre, but it always is."
"Yeah, man," Andre complained. "Do you have it set on some mode where it's always me or what?"
"Nah," Beck replied easily. "So I'm thinking it'll probably end up being Jade next round, since it never seems to be her, but it's hard to tell what with Tori being so sneaky these past few rounds."
"Yeah, she acts so suspicious," Jade agreed.
"Excuse me?!" Tori squeaked, sounding very offended.
"It's true," Beck said with a chuckle. "You know, if there was a zombie apocalypse, we'd have to be like, Tori, you're out. We couldn't trust you in Trouble in Terrorist Town, so we're not trusting you now."
"Can I stay?" Andre inquired hopefully.
"No," Jade said flatly. "You'd just sit around and watch us all massacre each other."
"Easiest way to win when you're always the terrorist, dude," Andre replied, sounding oddly cheerful. "Everyone starts doubting each other and then it turns into a major bloodbath and bam, you automatically win, you feel?"
"Anyway," Beck said, changing the subject from the utter disloyalty of their friends, "let's all meet up at the square, okay?"
"What?" Jade and Tori both inquired.
"Goin' to the square," Andre hummed – it seemed everything had to be music-related with him.
"See, Andre understood," Beck said proudly. "Andre's a smart, talented man."
"I just felt you, dawg," Andre proclaimed.
"Definitely terrorist activity right there," Jade groaned, laughing a little bit to herself – her friends could be so beyond ridiculous sometimes. She was, in fact, the terrorist this round (for once), so she followed Andre to the 'square' and shot him down. His body lay limply in the square, making him laugh, but otherwise he said nothing – much to Jade's delight. Knowing Beck and Tori, they'd never find him.
"I don't know how to get to the square," Beck complained, further proving Jade's point.
"You're the one who wanted to go there in the first place," Tori pointed out with a little sigh.
"I'm in the box," Andre pointed out. "Just chillin' in the box."
Jade rolled her eyes, but took off away from the box, hearing the sound of gunshots in the distance. "Hey!" Beck said. "Stop shooting me, Tori."
"You shot me first!" Tori whined.
Jade ran up behind Beck, who was low on health anyway, and shot him. "It must be Tori," she thought out loud, running up and shooting Tori as well – and then a red banner saying that the traitors win was displayed, making everyone laugh.
"Oh yeah, it must be Tori," Beck mocked.
"Hey, look, I can make the bodies twerk," Jade mused, picking up Tori's body and making it move violently – but then shuddering. "Ew."
"Speaking of twerking…" Beck began.
"Don't even start," she snapped back. "So I tweeted the other day that I was having severe freaking computer issues – which I was – and of course one of Beck's crazy fans was the first response. 'Don't worry about it, just #twerkforbeck!' What if I don't want to, huh?"
"Don't even give me that," Beck replied. "If I tweeted something like that, you'd reply with a smartass response. Remember when I tweeted about my broken screen?"
"Hey! Hey! That was a good reply, though," Jade praised herself.
"But what if I wanted to twerk?" Beck wondered aloud. "What if I'm done making you twerk? What if it's my turn to twerk? What if the world is ready for this?"
"Then just twerk, damn it!" Jade hissed at him.
Immediately, Beck's character on screen began moving violently in something that didn't look much like a twerking motion – but it made Jade laugh nonetheless, especially when Andre appeared out of nowhere and shot him down, making the 'INNOCENT WIN' page display on screen.
"I'm sorry, Miley Cyrus," Andre said, sounding almost regretful, "but you had to be stopped."
"I guess only traitors twerk," Beck said sadly.
.
"I had fun tonight," Jade told Beck, still slightly hungover from the laughter and stupid things that had happened during their game time.
"Me too," Beck replied with a yawn – which made no sense, considering that it was 11 pm there and 2 am where Jade was. "I know you're probably gonna give me a vague answer, but you seemed a little off there tonight – especially in the beginning. Is everything all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Jade replied. "It's been a weird week. Stupid nightmares kept me up and so my sleeping schedule – and accordingly my recording schedule – has been totally off. This is the first video with me in it that's gone up in like, three days. My fans probably hate me."
"Well, at least they'll get a little Bade action," Beck teased.
"Bade killing each other, featuring Andre and Tori," Jade replied darkly. "Our fans are such weird people, I swear."
"I know." She could hear the smile in Beck's voice. "I'm gonna let you try to sleep, all right? You know I'm free, though, if you wanna, you know, talk about what's going on with you or whatever."
"You're so bad at this sappy friendship crap," Jade said with a laugh. "But that's okay. I am too. Night, Becky Boy."
"Night, Jade." She could hear his faint chuckle as she hung up, and she was tempted to take him up on his offer and call right back. But she didn't want to bother him, especially since she knew he wasn't interested in her – Trina, not her, she reminded herself – and so she pulled her body down under the covers. What the hell had she gotten herself into.
.
There was something to be said for lazy days, when Jade would get up, make a nice, steaming mug of hot cocoa, and just record the games she enjoyed most. Usually those games varied between The Walking Dead, Catherine, and Corpse Party (which, despite the cute anime feel, was one of the creepiest games she'd ever played – and therefore one of her favorites), but today she just didn't feel like recording any of those, so she decided to waste some time and record a really dumb game. The issue was that she wasn't aware of any pointless yet worthwhile games, so she logged on to Steam to see who was online that she could ask. Tori was away; Andre was offline – most of her friends, in fact, seemed either away or preoccupied, so she went for the only one who was online. Beck.
New Steam Message
Jade: So, I wanted to record today, but I'm not feeling any of my series right now. Any game you'd recommend for a quick one-time play? Something dumb but sufficiently amusing. Sorry to bother you, btw.
Beck: oh please Jade, youre not bothering me at all!
Beck: You could always check out lol
Jade: Honestly.
Beck: Hey I played it before!
Jade: Exactly.
Beck: Rude! Um I liked Scribblenauts but idk if thats your kind of game. You could always do some GTA, doesnt have to be missions. Theres always the Sims as well. Any kind of Mario game. IDK IM NOT GOOD AT THIS. Oh yeah theres that horror game demo where youre a baby as well :D
Jade: Does the baby die?
Beck: I forgot…
Jade: Maybe I'll give it a try. I hate babies though.
Beck: You hate everything ;D
Jade: Exactly. Also I swear, if I get a comment about copying you…
Beck: Ill take care of 'em. Dont even worry about it Jade.
Jade: I won't. But thanks. I guess.
She located the game (Among the Sleep) in the Steam store then and downloaded the demo version, pushing all thoughts of Beck out of her mind as she waited for the game to completely download. When recording, she liked to have a clear mind so she could actually concentrate on the game – though sometimes, when she was sleep-deprived, that strategy completely failed.
The game was actually pretty decent for an indie horror game, but Jade spent most of the time attempting to kill the virtual child – jumping off stacked drawers, trying to fall down the stairs, attempting to climb into the washing machine. Unfortunately, the game wouldn't let her die, which pissed Jade off all the more. She posted the video anyway after some major editing, hoping that she wouldn't get too much –

Seriously?

Whenever Jade was bored or simply having an off day, she'd browse through her tag on Tumblr to see what kind of crap people were posting. Sometimes, she'd come across gorgeous fanart; other times, the fanart she found needed to be doused in holy water before it would be fit for viewing. Sometimes she'd accidentally stumble across fanfiction, and sometimes she would even read it. And sometimes she'd find the fanfiction to be… amazing.
New Steam Message
Jade: Dude.
Jade: Fanfiction reading please.

"I can't believe you posted that," Jade said with a hiccupping laugh.
"I can't believe people watched it," Beck replied, sounding equally as drowsy.
"People are too easily entertained," Jade said dryly. "Oh, Cat watched and told me to tell you she says "hiiii" and you need to stop by the next stream so she can tell you about bade or whatever in person. Then she did an annoying laugh."
"Thanks for relaying the message," Beck answered, sounding in equal parts amused and confused. "Cat's too far on this ship. I think she needs to take a step off."
"As usual, she tends to take things too far," Jade informed him, giving a long-suffering sigh. "We've been friends for ages though – I've learned to deal with it."
"How'd you two meet, anyway?" Beck asked curiously. "You seem so different – not just you and Cat, but the whole Crew, I guess."
"It's a long story," Jade told him honestly, thinking back to her first interactions with her friends. "I met Cat a while ago, I guess. She messaged me back in the early days of my USlap channel and wanted to know if I'd play some games with her. She seemed friendly enough, I guess, and I wasn't quite as bitter back then, so I agreed. One game session led to another, and I guess I just couldn't escape. Robbie was another victim of Cat's, so little wimp boy joined us as well. Moose, I met through Xbox Live – don't even ask, honestly – and then Sinjin just wormed his way in. That's the short story version."
Beck let out a breath. "Wow, that's a lot. Pretty cool, though. Sometimes I think I'd kill to have a network like yours."
"Shut up," Jade shot back. "You're basically number one on USlap. You've got a network."
"Not of friends, I don't," Beck said, sounding slightly embarrassed. "I know, it sounds dumb. It's not like I'm saying I don't have friends. But compared to you, with your stream friends and never ending batch of co-ops, I'm pretty damn lonely."
"That's stupid," Jade told him.
"Thanks?" he inquired, seeming somewhat offended by her outburst.
"No offense," she said, knowing she'd already said something offensive, "but you've got lots of friends, dude. You've got me and Andre and Tori, of course, and then my stream friends don't mind you either, plus all the other USlappers you co-op with. Don't pull that crap with me. You're not alone, at least in that sense." Plus, she added mentally, you have Trina. Or whatever.
"You take no crap, Jade," Beck said with a laugh. "I love it."
"Yeah, well," Jade replied, somewhat embarrassed, "if I didn't, people would walk all over me."
"Nah," Beck told her. "I think everyone's terrified of you, and not just in the obvious way. You're intimidating, mysterious, talented, and still somehow funny."
"Lies," Jade told him with a half-smile. It was almost as if he was flirting with her, but how -?
"By the way, if any of that Bade stuff ever makes you really uncomfortable, just let me know and I'll lay off," Beck said kindly. "You get kind of quiet or annoyed about that stuff sometimes, and I don't want to face your wrath or anything."
"You'll be facing it anyway, Becky Boy," she told him with a grin, "especially if we play anything competitive, because I'm going to crush you like a bug."
"That's impossible!" Beck spluttered. "I'm so good at multiplayer games – well, some of the time. Speaking of multiplayer games, though, Sam wanted to see about getting a group together to play Worms, and she asked me to ask you."
"She couldn't have asked me herself?" Jade said with a chuckle. She and Sam had been friends for a while now; they fed off of each other's dark sense of humor and had done two-player co-ops together fairly often, especially with pointless games like GTA and COD (despite the fact that both strongly disliked the game).
"She's just being lazy, I'm sure," Beck pointed out. This, Jade thought, was true; the odd Let's Player was known for being notoriously lazy. "We were doing some 3-player crap with Andre a while back and she brought it up, ya know?"
"Oh, cool," Jade said, smirking a little bit. The thing that these morons didn't know was that she was quite good at Worms. She'd played it often, especially on her streams, and knew all the pros and cons of the weapons, plus strategies to kill more worms than the other teams. Basically, she would probably crush all the other players in a few moves.
"I've never played before," Beck said sheepishly.
And that confirmed it.
For once, Jade was pretty excited for this competition.
.
That was, until she learned the teams.
"So you and Jason against me and Beck?" Jade yelped.
"Yeah," Sam replied sheepishly. "It's not like Jason and I have much experience, either."
Jason was one of Sam's friends and a fairly popular USlapper, and since Beck had invited Jade – or vice versa – it made sense for Sam to invite a friend. And, Jade supposed, it made sense for that person to be Sam's teammate as well. However, that meant she was stuck with Beck – which first of all meant she couldn't compete against him, and second of all meant that she was stuck with a beginner. She sighed loudly. "Fine. But Beck, you better listen to me about how to play."
"Whatever, Jade," Beck said, sounding a little too mischievous for Jade's liking. "Start the tournament thingie already."
"I'm dreading this before it even begins," Jade said, sighing melodramatically.
The worms, of course, were all named odd things, ranging from Taco Bell to Roadkill. Jade had appropriately named hers Death, Masochist, and Anarchy.
"Uplifting names there, Jade," Sam commented.
"Speak for yourself, Roadkill," Jade retorted, making the others laugh.
The game started then, and Jade's turn was first. She had to think of a strategy using the weapons allocated to her, and she bit her lip in order to concentrate. There was the water gun, which wasn't of much use at this point, the mole, which was difficult to control, and there was a shotgun, which could be useful, actually –
She shot the first bullet, which hit one of Sam's worms and knocked him back into Jason's worm, which proceeded to blow up and hit another of Sam's worms – meaning Jade effectively took out three worms in one shot. Everyone else gasped as she smirked. "MLG."
"My poor worm didn't even get a chance," Jason fake cried.
"TWO OF MINE DIED!" Sam raged. "I THINK WE NEED TO DELETE JADE FROM THIS GAME."
"You asked me to play," Jade sang. "Oh, Sam's next."
"I'm getting my revenge," the other girl said, sounding determined. The gun she chose misfired, though, hitting none of the worms – and leaving Sam to rage all the more as Beck began his turn.
"What's a mole?" Beck questioned.
"It digs through the ground, basically," Jade said with a groan, knowing he would inevitably choose the dumbest weapon of them all.
"Oh, cool!" Beck chirped, choosing the mole and making it go straight down, effectively doing nothing at all. Very helpful, Jade thought to herself, trying not to groan. At least he was (somewhat) trying.
"Maybe don't choose the mole next time," she said through gritted teeth.
"I'm just living my life," Beck said, pretending to be offended.
"Live it better!" Jade hissed.
"It's my turn," Jason said with a laugh, choosing the water gun and shooting one of Jade's worms, Death, so that it fell in a hole full of water, causing the worm to slowly drown.
Jade groaned. "So you're killing Death."
"I am the master of all things," Jason gasped, sounding surprised. "I'm a wizard, Harry."
"Stop talking to yourself, Hagrid," Sam retorted. "It's Jade's turn again, and I swear if she kills another one of my worms I'm going to drive her worm so deep into the ground that she –"
"Sam," Jason interrupted with a laugh.
But Sam was not quite so lucky; one of her worms was lost to Jade's infamous gun power, leaving the other team ultimately powerless against Jade's team. Even with Beck's odd fascination with the mole, they still took the round easily, leaving the other team to rage.
"Team Bade is pretty good, huh?" Beck asked her proudly.
"Or I'm pretty good. You suck, dude," Jade said, laughing. "But it's okay. You're learning, I guess."
"One of these days I'll be a true gamer like you," Beck whined.
The next few rounds went basically the same way, with Jade dominating everyone at the game, Sam raging, Jason seeming somewhat impressed, and Beck using the damn mole every chance he got – costing Jade one of her worms at one point, unfortunately.
"We should go back to Mario Kart, I swear," Sam said at the end of the game. "At least Jade sucks at that one."
"Dude," Jade protested. "I was in eleventh; you were in tenth. It's not that big a difference."
"It is because I beat you," Sam replied happily.
"I'll have to play with you guys next time," Beck said, an odd edge to his voice that Jade didn't quite recognize. Was he jealous? Sure, she'd played Mario Kart with Sam, Andre, and Moose, but he'd done plenty of co-ops without her as well. It was a normal thing. USlappers liked to vary who they did with their co-ops with to add variety to their channels. There was no reason for Beck to be jealous, unless…
She bit her cheek, stopping any unwanted thoughts from entering her thought process. "Let's do another round, guys," she said to a chorus of mixed groans and laughter.
"Fine," Beck said, "but this time, the mole is actually gonna work."

Jade: Know what?
Cat: That your birthdays soon, silly! :D
Jade: Oh. No. And I'm not planning on letting him find out.
Cat: Jaaaade, he only needs to google it! Its not THAT private, ya know.
Jade: He'll have no reason to Google it if you don't give him one, Cat.
Cat: But Jaaaade! It almost feels like lying, and lying gives me a funny feeling in the tummy :/

I know there's a lot of characters in this story, but hey, LPers have to have a wide range of friends to keep stuff interesting ;) Plus I like lots of characters, so I hope you don't mind. Also, Worms can be confusing – each person has worms, main goal is to kill all the worms on the other team by utilizing different weapons. Worms die if they lose enough health or are hit off the map. It can be kinda confusing, but I hope you guys get the gist.
Thanks so much for all your reviews, honestly! Keep it up, it obviously motivates me. I'm updating pretty fast, see? And to the anon who asked: Marzia's awesome and all, but no, pewdiecry all the way, man.
