Six Christmas Giant Socks

[grimmdark]

A. Phone, unfiltered. Morning.

Some might have noticed this already, but I am returned to Mayfield a week or so after the events that shook the town in ways that go beyond the literal. Should I assume that everybody remains the same? Or have we lost new members of this fine society on the cruel grasp of droning?

I certainly hope we haven't.

B. Phone, filtered to Dave, John and Jade

Are you three still here? I will not accept to be left alone in this forsaken town doing the times of a cookie deliverer girl for the sake of not having my gray matter crisped and served as an appetizing.

C. Phone, filtered to Kanaya.

I have something for you. Where can we meet?

D. Around town, open for anybody who wants a grim scout girl on your door.

[Something Rose hadn't figured out was that her drone self? Had been a top selling scout girl, and now she had to bit her tongue and keep the good work. The fact Jade was apparently droned didn't make things better, as she couldn't stick to the girl and endure things the best way she could.

So if you get a knock on your door, you will find Rose, not happy at all, making her worst attempt to make you buy some cookies.]

Comments

A, but action. Also I somehow did not have you friend added. /faaaaaaail

Ah, I was wondering when you'd see fit to grace us with your presence again.

[Translation: I was really worried about you being droned for so long.]

Although I must admit that you look positively adorable in a girl scout uniform.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Not one bit.

[chastesaw]

*And Kanaya approaches, dressed as snazzily as she ever is. ...she stops at the end of the walk up to Rose's house steps, instantly noting that jade color on her legs. A gift, for her... It's sweet, isn't it?* Hello, Rose.

[grimmdark]

[A gift within a gift, never forget that.]

Kanaya. [Said as a way of a greeting, not as if she needed to tell her something. Rose stands and closes the distance, handing over the package.]

For you; when can talk about Scratch once you give me your opinions of my hasty work. [Aided by her mtical needles of course.]

[grimmdark]

Makes one think what will happen next. Suffice to say, we better remain alert.

Wow Mom way to go

[grimmdark]

[Rose is going to make an effort just for you Mom, and pretend you didn't mention her on her current attire.]

When the droning is permanent, the subject also loses whatever they had regained over their time on Mayfield. I have just recovered a number of clothes from back home; make sure to heck that next time I'm gone.

Have I missed anything?

[grimmdark]

Normality is but an illusion created to please the weak of mind. A place like this should make that clear.

[grimmdark]

That's the whole point I suppose. Somebody has to keep an eye on Jade anyway.

And I honestly don't know, but I can hardly imagine such accomplishments would be left untouched for the greater upsetting of the receiving end. I might be wrong though, and this merit will pass unsung on the records of the scout body, but I'm rarely wrong.

[Cynical is totally her middle name.]

[grimmdark]

And yet another great mystery unveils itself to the eyes of the world, product of the keen sense of observation of yours truly.

You better watch your words, Dave. [Hey look it's your name.] Or else you will be he first to know whether I underwent any significative changes should God Tier became available to me.

What the hell would we do without you probably live in ignorance and poverty.

Aw no, no one wants to see furry feathery tentacle action, don't listen to the dark gods, they're definitely wrong about that one.

[busy-fists.livejournal.com]

Well, do your best, and it'll be over before you know it.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

As always...

Best Mom ever....

[pinkscarflady.livejournal.com]

Good to know. I suppose the whole town will know if I should happen to leave.

[fyi, Mom has recently gotten back her observatory, which has been added as an extra story to their house.]

Nothing particularly exciting. Although you may be interested to know that there's been an ongoing discussion of potential decorating motifs for the house.

[Wizards and harlequins. They have the best taste.]

Present and accounted for. Sorry Lalonde, you aren't getting rid of me that easily.

[grimmdark]

You speak with haste; my word is yet to reach everybody in the immediate vicinity after all.

Sounds like you already have it all imagined nonetheless. But I concur, doesn't sound like a aesthetically pleasing imagery to toy with.

[grimmdark]

I shall demand retribution in the shape of pastries if your theory fails.

[grimmdark]

[Well, that's a new one. Cool.]

The less I know, the less I will suffer when the unavoidable comes.

Re: b

[grimmdark]

Whatever I would do without you, Strider?

It's not a four man's band without four members after all.

...Have you heard about John?

[pinkscarflady.livejournal.com]

Oh? Are you quite certain you don't wish to offer an opinion before it's too late?

We were already planning a little outing to purchase various knicknacks.

[grimmdark]

I really don't want to know.

This is the kind of thing you would usually inquire with John, not me. If it were on my power, things would be quite different.

[And darker. But alas.]

But alas, I will endure.

[busy-fists.livejournal.com]

Young lady, you've got yourself a deal.

[Putting out his hand for a shake. Gotta seal this thing right.]

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Sit around moping and pining, that's what.

But yeah I saw John right when he got back. Kinda the same as usual, except for the lost memories. Weird, but it's not like it's the first time it's happened. To any of us.

[nolongeralpha.livejournal.com]

Damn, speed of sound sure ain't what it used to be.

If brainbleach were a thing, I would corner the market on it. Since it isn't though, let's set that racketeering scheme aside and never mention that shit again.

I'm here! For the first time I can remember, but apparently not the first time ever?

Anyway it's awesome to hear from you Rose! Where are you living?

[chastesaw]

*She takes the package, as her face begins to turn an identical shade.* Rose, I'm... I am quite touched. Thank you. *Not knowing that there's something in the bag, she turns it over and around, inspecting it.* Your needlework is far superior to mine.
