Challenge 18 entry
Well, as I'm so tired I'm about to fall asleep right now, I'm probably not going to get done the other drabbles I had planned for this challenge, so here's the one I have finished.

Title: Green/Jade
Prompt: #18 - Green
Rating: G
Characters: Holly, Vinyaya
Points to: The Unofficial Jade Princess Fan Club
Words: 100

-----

Behind The Daily Acorn, Vinyaya's pointed ears twitched in interest when she recognised a voice amidst the babble of canteen conversation. Cadet Holly Short, sounding indignant - and coming closer.

“...said, 'Wanna ride my express shuttle to Haven?' Then he tried to grope me!”

“No!” gasped an undistinctive female voice. It'd be Laura Beech - kind, and spunky like Holly, but with only half the talent.

“I'm going to Lieutenant Granite. He'll have to listen this time. It'll be on camera, he can't ignore evidence!”

But Vinyaya knew. Poor child. You'll get used to it, she thought sadly, and ruffled her newspaper.

I suspect the title will have confused people. Clue: verbs. (Also, if you take it one particular way, it adds a whole different slant to this fic! XD)

Nice. But I need help. I guessed that it was Chix doing the groping? Which would bring in the Green!factor. But I'm confused about Jade... I think that has to mean Juliet (Holly's Twu Wuv) but I don't see her. And I don't get the second slant...

But on the surface level, I really like the fic! The cynicism from Vinyaya is very nice, and the situation is so real, I can almost not imagine not happening. Well done!

Actually, before I cut it down, Holly mentioned that it was someone called Cadet Aconite... (Which is a poisonous plant, hohoho.)

As for the title, like I said - verbs. To "green" something is to make it green, and in this case I'm using "green" (adjective) in the sense of "naive" or "inexperienced". To "jade" something is to wear it down, like jaded. So Holly is "green" and Vinyaya "jade"... Thus, Holly/Vinyaya. ;)

It's not actually meant to be a reallyshippy!fic, but I think this is the sort of background that would be needed for H/V.

Thankies. :) I think this is something that could really happen - Vinyaya's fought her way up through the chauvinistic system and she must have experienced things like that.
