One Knitted Sweater

A. Phone. Early Morning. Unfiltered.

[It's not that Rose is an early bird. She's a rather regular bird, if the metaphor lends itself for such uses, but she wasn't supposed to be sleeping. Dave was supposed to be sleeping and waking up later, as per the effect she expected to cause after that yarn ball throw. Still, she was the one waking up in a place that was most definitely not Derse, unless they had suddenly populated the place with a completely outdated series of identical suburban houses.]

I seem to find myself in quite the predicament. On one hand, I have the imperative necessity to return to my duties, as they played a rather critical role yet to be defined. In the other hand, though, I am called by the Great Outdoors, as this new locale pleads to be explored.

But before I devote myself to that enterprise I would like to ask for further instructions regarding the nature of this place.

[For the record, Rose sounds as if someone had done something of the magnitude of using all the sugar in the kitchen, not displacing her through time and space. She's really playing it cool here.]

B. Streets of Mayfield, Afternoon.

[And so Rose traverses the streets, sometimes silent, sometimes barely humming a tune, but always keeping an eye on everything. She doesn't even bother with the drones, leave alone the adult ones, but rather focus on those that have a certain shine in their eyes the canon fodder lacks. To them she gives more examination time, although she won't really engage in a conversation by her own initiative. Not until she has managed to get the upper hand in this place. Or in its default, to have lost her patience, whatever happens first.

But yeah she's wandering around, go bother her.
]

C. Mayfield High. Fashionably Late.

[Like the coolest teenager, Rose arrives late to school...and goes directly to the yard, where she sits somewhere calm and with shade. The day has been too exciting -or rather, mildly exciting- to enter the classrooms; she'll have time to do that later. But it's a good time to have a chat with her fellow classmates, perhaps?]

Then I'll explain it sometime when you're not so eager to get out and explore. Oh, right! Stay away from the milk factory and the mayor's house.

[Someone sounds particularly bleary-eyed when she groggily answers the phone. There's a low canine grumble as Mika tries to wake up enough to answer.]

Sure, fire away. I was planning on waking up soon anyway.

[[He's going to stop by the yard between classes. Skipping study hall, planning to scribble in his little note pad.

Noticing someone else sitting out. He offers a friendly smile and wave, hoping it's not a drone girl ready to report him.]]

Hello, nice day and... uh... stuff like that.

Oh. Then my attempt at obfuscation was what gave me away at all. How interesting.

*She's still sort of looking at you as you get closer, Rose. No offense - she's never met a human before in person before this.* It is not that I insist so much as it is that I simply am.

...would you be satisfied if I were to provide you with some information that I could only know if I were in fact myself? Perhaps immediate recognition of you is not enough.

[[Far too detailed to be a drone, that's a relief.]]

Nice to mee you Rose, I'm Aaron.

Are you new?

[[Sitting down now that he isn't afraid of getting in trouble.]]

You know, I agree about that great outdoors part, you might want try getting out of the house more often. Or maybe reading something that isn't the dictionary.

Naturally I would volunteer something known to you as well; it would do me no good to simply say something anyone could know just from watching you.

Hm. *She's thinking for a moment, and then--* The first conversation in which we were temporal equals was our eighth. Does that suffice?

In a sense, yes, but we all knew that the only entities capable of finding us were those capable of killing us as well. *A pause.* Even so, it still seems so strange to have been brought here from our shelter in the Veil.

*Kanaya feels a bit self conscious as she's inspected, reaching up to her mouth and poking at a canine.* It is odd, speaking without fangs, for one. Otherwise my appearance is not wholly unlike my normal one, though I feel that troll sensory complexes *Indicating her face here* seem to be more angular than humans'.

Huh? Does that mean you want to know what to do outside??

That is one of the options, yes. Others that I have considered include a particularly vivid afterlife or a fevered dying hallucination.

*But she quiets at Rose's question, her eyes flicking back and forth from the girl's hand to her face and back. Her cheeks tinge - an unusual red, rather than their normal jade flush.* Ah... if you would like, though I assure you I am very much human and not at all a troll right now.

Aboout this place? Weeeell, you get put in a house with other people and get to play family - and they take all your stuff, too! Even your socks.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's a lot of us. One guy even made a pamphlet for new people.

I think I actually have one in my bag.

I'm surprised you came to school on your first day in town though, I didn't think to do it until someone told me the consequences.

Oh, thaat's - Mister Postman has it. But he won't give it back if you asked. He's a mean postman!
