video / text (one).

[ the video turns on to a deserted, snowy street. it's late evening when there's Rose dropping into the view, landing and dressed in a rather strange orange garb. and look at that! she's lacking her grimdarkness, her skin is normal, and her eyes would assumed to be lavender again, except they're obscured by her hood.

she smiles, but it's slight. ]

Hello.

[ there's a pause as her head tips slightly to the side. it's hard to tell whether she's looking around or thinking or something. ]

It seems that I've been gone for quite the while. I've been a little preoccupied, so excuse my absence.

[ and without another word, she just cuts the feed after that. ]

I've taken the liberty of reading through previous posts during my impetuous absenteeism. There's been quite a large amount of interesting affairs that happened while I disappeared.
Regardless,
My apologies for vanishing on you three.

You could say I've been a little preoccupied.

[god terezi just admit you spent half the week trying to hang people and the other half getting over a broken nose, it won't kill you.]

Hmm?

[somethinglawful]

Bluh, I broke my nose. That made it a little difficult to keep up with things, okay??

encrypted voice

[reilluminates.livejournal.com]

I presume it wasn't by accident.

[ shes not stupid terezi!! ]

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

No, I'm way more careful than that! Duh, Lalonde!

[gosh why does she have to be intelligent it is so annoying!!]

Then what happened?

[somethinglawful]

Okay, so, I might have gotten a little over-zealous about orchestrating the demise of the wicked, and during that time I might have gotten into a disagreement with someone else would was being egregiously zealous about drinking blood.

That is what happened.

You got into contretemps with Kanaya?

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

Sure, that's a good word for it.

My rhetorical arsenal is at ready for you.

[ a beat ]

But I presume you two have put this behind you.

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

Yeah, definitely. [welp that was a quick answer.]

What's a little noose-related japery between friends, right?

[ long... pause... ]

I have to wonder if you are being facetious.

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

Wow, Rose, I had gotten so used to you not caring that this interrogation feels really strange!

[well that was a little mean. reign it back in terezi.]

Is hanging one of your best friends something you can get over in four days or less? I don't know. It's complicated!

encrypted voice

[reilluminates.livejournal.com]

It sounds like it would be.

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

Sign. It's complicated and nobody understands.

I suppose I wouldn't, but I could always try to. However, there really is no reason to lay you onto my metaphorical couch where I could scrutinize the intricacies of your lacerated psyche.

At least, not right now.

Woah Lalonde, I think you are getting a little suggestive here! What is an innocent awesome girl like me supposed to think?

encrypted voice

[reilluminates.livejournal.com]

You are to be flattered that I would even suggest such a thing with you, Terezi.

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

Hehehe, are you taking our eternal soulgrudge seriously now?

encrypted voice

[reilluminates.livejournal.com]

Is that a thing that I should do?

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

Should I be the one to tell you how you feel?

encrypted voice

[reilluminates.livejournal.com]

I'm open to suggestions.

encrypted voice

[somethinglawful]

Ahahaha! Sorry Rose, you will have to work this one out for yourself!

encrypted voice

[reilluminates.livejournal.com]

Drat. You've eluded me once again, Terezi.
