Oh for the love of-
I suppose I see the humour of putting one, Rose Lalonde, into the district that so happens to go by the color Rose. Oh yes, how cute and hilarious it would be. Let us put Rose in Rose District. While I usually would find it amusing, my patience is nothing but fairly thin at the moment.
Could you not have waited a mere few minutes before plucking me from my spot. I had very solemn good lucks to give and this is fairly aggravating to never know of what becomes of myself and the departure of my close one.
I run a tight schedule and you have destroyed it. I was busy, considering the morbid thoughts of living a life of solitude.
No, that's wrong. You took me before I could find out whether I would cease to continue existing.
Now I will never know.
I utterly despise the curiosity of never finding out until I leave this place.
Now that I have vented, what probably looked positively insane rambling, I suppose I should introduce myself.
I am Rose Lalonde. I suppose they want me to tell you that I am Odin though. Dear me! Not only am I no longer a young, fair maiden, I even have children! The amount of shock is just coursing through my system. These clothes are also not something I would consider wearing normally. Couldn't you had perhaps added a horrorterror or two into the pattern? No? I suppose it was worth a shot.
While I'm at it, please inform me of everything you can offer about this place, how it works, and who you are. I know someone here has came before I have and I would be fairly appreciative that I can start unraveling the mysteries of this new abode as soon as possible. I have plenty of time because I have absolutely none. Now if you'll excuse.

[[OOC: Rose has a text quirk like all/most Homestuck characters do. If you have problems with her text quirk, here's an opt-out post! Otherwise, she'll be responding in a rather pretty purple.]]

Honestly, I hold no ill remorse of any kind. Of course, you did a spectacularly stupid thing, but you will always be a friend. I had already resigned to the fate I held. The only thing we could do was gather as much information at that point.
The one who may require an apology if we could ever come in contact with her is Jade. Neither Dave nor I could get into contact with her after. I still wonder if there was a way to bring her into the Medium. I suppose it doesn't particularly matter though, but I still lament over what her fate was.
I think never to existing is more reasonable than forcing me into a life in which I would be alone for all eternity. So there's that.
But I'm getting the feeling there is more to your silly attempt to try and take on your denizen at your level and experience.

well, that is kind of reassuring. i'm glad you're not mad at me.
but yeah, there is more to it.
i guess i should explain.
when i met the denizen he was wide awake. you got that much.
i guess it was like... it's hard to describe what happened.
the short version is he just talked to me a bunch about all sorts of different things.
like...
some timey-wimey shit that kind of flew over my head? but i kind of got it at the same time.
so basically, how the timeline is doomed.
and that dave was the only one who could fix it.

I had quite a few months to get over any rage I could have held. I'm mostly tired and heavily starved of any contact that wasn't Dave or a consort.
Wait.
John.
Are you insinuating what I think you are insinuating?

ehehe... well.
that depends on what you are thinking!

We are not playing this fairly ludicrous guessing game.
You tell me everything you know or so help me. You really think rain is going to slow me down from finding you? John Egbert, I know that you are unfortunately plagued with doing fairly stupid things on your own accord. I know that it is a hopeless cause to teach you otherwise, but this has basically taken whatever previous actions you had done and tossed them all down the stairs because you have outranked your stupidity by miles. You might as well have created the new rung on your echeladder for fairly ridiculous ideas and actions.

okay, okay! jeez.
it's just...
yeah, i don't know any other way to say it.
i got killed on purpose.
but don't get mad! listen first.
my denizen told me that stuff and i realized something.
if we just cease to exist after dave goes back in time and splits the timeline off...
... how can he do it?
i mean, technically he can. but that's not what i'm getting at.
i think he could manage to do it if it were just one of us he's erasing.
but all of us?
i don't think so.
dave plays a tough game but he cares about us.
i guess i just made it so he could actually bring himself to do it.

i probably fucked a lot up and i know i caused a lot of suffering.
but when he travels back in time... it won't be US exactly.
but we will be there. if that makes sense.
we're safe there, even if we're dead or worse here.

The ungodly sound I probably just made could even chill Dave's denizen in the session. If I had access to my majykks, consider the Land of Light and Rain nonexistent due to my blind rage in trying to quell what I am feeling.
I am not mad. I am fairly furious.
Not because you got yourself killed, but because you did not even consider everything. I am furious that you actually think that Dave would not have done the right thing on his own accord. I spent months traveling with him unearthing all the details of our session from ectobiology to even the details and aspects of our Planets.
He was chosen to be in charge of time. Not you or I.
You may have been one less person, John, but there was always the chance that Jade survived. If that were the case, than she spent months in a desolate wasteland with no contact from anyone but herself.
We spent long months before he decided to go back. It was his decision, not mine. But we had already agreed that he would do it.
We both agreed not knowing what would happen to me. Do you think leaving your companion of many months was just as easy as a decision?
Mind you we were not even sure what would become of me specifically.
I'm sure he of all people know what to do when a Doomed Timeline presents itself.
Your privileges to decide life changing decisions has been revoked. You may petition to try and get it back, but we will most likely reject it.

[ john can feel the fury radiating off of her text. it's scary and leaves him totally stunned. he is at a total loss for words. the bad of what he did hits, and he doesn't even know what to say. it takes him a few minutes to respond. ]

i... yeah.
i really didn't consider everything.
i didn't think of most of that.
i figured he would go back pretty quickly.
that after i died, you'd both just realize what was meant to be done.
i thought it was really obvious.
but i guess i was just being stupid.
really stupid.

but... i really don't think he'd be able to do it if all of us were there.
i agree with the rest of that stuff. i wasn't thinking.
but with both me and jade gone

[ --because he is ignoring that bit about jade surviving, that's impossible and wrong and the fact that he might have condemned her to that is disturbing -- ]

he'd be a lot less likely to hesitate.
not because anyone is less important or anything like that.
but because it's easier to say bye to one friend than three of them.

haha... i thought what i did was kind of heroic.
i was making myself useful in motivating the one person who could do stuff.
we were all going to die or disappear, my denizen said.
so i guess i wanted it to be over quick.

[There's a slight delay before Rose finally replies.]

I think I was slightly out of hand. I didn't mean to lash out. I guess that I am still fairly bitter about what happened to us and I had basically thrown all resentment towards that one troll. It's a little bit shocking to know that you died on your own accord and agreed to it wholeheartedly.

[There's more delay before she replies again.]

I understand. Well, no. I don't quite fully understand. I can understand wanting to get over it quickly than to draw out the inevitable.
But I'm just disappointed that you did this without conferring with any of us before you went off to do it.
I suppose I was hoping that playing together would mean that we worked together as a team.
Still, my unbridled rage should not have been directed at you.
I suppose it was our choice to continue playing after you passed. We just wanted to do what we can to figure things out before traveling back. That way, we can avoid further mishaps on the timeline and hopefully avoid more inconveniences in the long run.
That was our decision, not yours.
And trust me when I do say I'm glad to have you back, John. It is wonderful to be able to see your text again and eventually your face.
Being brought to this place has done nothing but to aggravate me.

nah, rose, you're fine. it's cool. i get it.
sort of, anyways.
i don't blame you for getting so pissed.
i kind of deserve it.

but yeah, i'm glad to hear from you again too, rose!
it was only a little while apart for me but i'm still glad.
i am always glad to talk to you.
and hey, you're right.
we probably could go and meet up in person.
do you want to do that sometime soon?

I suppose you did. But I wasn't fairly interested in starting our reunion so negatively. I suppose if I were an optimist, there is no way our reunion could get any worst. It can only get better.
But that would mean admitting that I have optimistic point of views. I tend to reserve those thoughts for you or Jade.

I think I would like that, yes. I have already settled into my new home. It's cozy I suppose. It isn't quite home, but home is such a foreign concept at this point.
