john lalonde i am going to KILL you.

[Action]

[[Once that ominous message has been left, the young girl abandons the terminal she found on third floor of dormitories and begins her hunt. She has an ass to kick and she will find it. There's a four eyed black kitten on her heels, batting playfully at her coat tails as they walk and under her arm is a very large book of some sort. Occasionally she checks a terminal as she passes because you'd better believe she will descend upon her friend like a hawk when he replies, but beyond that she's going to head down stairs to look on the floor below. Maybe go a few more floors down if need be.

She'll care about where exactly she is later. It's probably just like SBURB anyway. Do some exploration and eventually you'll run into some helpful creatures! Surely that's how it works.]]

[grislytragedian]

Mmm...well to be fair, Jadesprite was there.

[thornythaumaturge]

I think I'd need more than just Jadesprite. [[And now she tentatively hugs his shoulders.]] I think I'd need you and Dave too. [[And now you might see why she's so set on all four of you doing things together.]]

[grislytragedian]

[Once again, John fails to give an answer, opting to sit in silence as she hugs him instead. though it's pretty obvious that there's something weighing heavily on his mind this time.]

[And that is whether or not to tell her exactly how things went with Jadesprite, because Rose appears to have a very different vision from what actually happened. Jadesprite wasn't so much emotional support as she was the hand that drove his weapon. It probably doesn't matter if Rose knows this or not because in the end, John was the one who swung the blade, not Jadesprite. But he's still stuck on her earlier request that he not hide anything from her.]

[But if he tells her how it really went down, he'll have to admit to the fact that, in a doomed timeline of a doomed timeline, he wasn't strong enough to go through with it. And after she just put him on the pedestal of "Bravest Person I know", he's even less inclined to admit to something like this. Because they're all each other has now, he can't be weak here.]

[thornythaumaturge]

[[After a bit of sitting, she squeezes his shoulders. She's not positive what to say here, but she should say something...]]

It'll be okay, you know. Because we have each other.

[grislytragedian]

Mmmm...yeah. I know. And I am glad of that but I still wish it didn't have to be this way. I mean I'm not really bothered or upset or anything I just...bluh. I don't know.

[thornythaumaturge]

Come on, you have to think positive. [[Letting go of him, she bumps his shoulder with her own.]]

[grislytragedian]

[He sighs, rubbing at his temples. Rose, you're missing the point here. It has nothing to do with thinking positively or negatively. That isn't the issue here. John is having trouble feeling or thinking anything about this place. It's weird and unsettling, but most of the time he just finds himself not caring about the fact that he's stuck here.]

[But he's not going to get into that right now, hoping that he'll kick whatever this funk is soon.]

Yeah, I know. So anyway, yeah, that's why I did what I did. I'm sorry, it's good to have you here, unfortunate locale aside, now let's move on, shall we?

[thornythaumaturge]

Hee hee, okay. [[She sits there a moment, then frowns a little.]]

Um, move on to what?

[grislytragedian]

I don't know, just whatever. That's...you know, not what we were just talking about.

[thornythaumaturge]

[[Rolling her eyes, she leans back against her hands on the bed.]]

Alright fine. It's cool that you got your posters.

[grislytragedian]

Mmm? Oh, yeah. That was a nice surprise. They really brighten up the place, huh?

[He leans back, fondly regarding his posters for a moment.]

Oh! But that's not all I got, check this out.

[He stands up and moves over to the foot of his bed, lifting the trunk lid and pulling out this little guy. Bike and all because John does not skimp on his movie memorabilia. He's beaming like a kid at Christmas, isn't this great, Rose?]

[thornythaumaturge]

[[She glances from the posters down to the oh god why.]]

Really? It gave you...that thing? [[Sorry John but you know she never liked the puppet.]]

Well that's...pretty cool of the tower I guess. You know, if you like that thing.

[grislytragedian]

Well I had him in my sylladex when... [He falters.] you know, before I woke up here. Most of the stuff in my trunk came from my sylladex, with a few exceptions. [He puts the puppet back inside the trunk and closes the lid once again.] What about you, did you get anything good?

[thornythaumaturge]

My rabbit! And my tome too. Meowgon was in there as well, along with our tadpole. Some knitting stuff too! Which is really cool because I think I need to try and mend my rabbit at some point...especially if this tower is supposedly as dangerous as people say. And lots and lots of boondollars. [[She's totally rich. Aw yeah. B)]]

[grislytragedian]

Aha...well I don't think those boondollars will do you much good here. Aside from the fact that I haven't seen much that you can buy here other than food at the restaurant, somehow I get the feeling there's not a standard currency conversion for those. But hey, you never know.

Speaking of food though, are you hungry?

[thornythaumaturge]

...oh what, really? Dammit I thought I'd be on top of something! [[Stupid useless boondollars.]]

Oh but...yeah I kind of am. What all is there to eat exactly?

[grislytragedian]

For you? Oatmeal.

[Delicious, right?]

[thornythaumaturge]

...oatmeal? Why just me though?

[grislytragedian]

Because you just got here. Everyone has to eat oatmeal as their first meal.

[Shrug!]

[thornythaumaturge]

...that's dumb.

[grislytragedian]

[Shrug x2 combo!]

Eat it or puke, your choice.
