[She has been here a while; aquainting herself with public posts and then posts stored in the archives. She is disconcerted, but not put out. It is a surreal thing, to be here. It is more bizzare still to discover this is not her first time. Her memory must be failing her. Or time shenanigans are afoot. She isn't one to put all her eggs into one basket, but the latter is far more likely. She is quite certain she would remember being in a city like this.

Rose often thinks there will come a day that shenanigans will become tiresome. Today is not that day! She is opting for text: it is terribly predictable. Rose is feeling very predictable today. Sometimes being predictable is just a logical step to take, after all. It wouldn't do to do something outlandish and not be recognized.

Rose's pranksters gambit is, today, sadly lagging behind in last place. Priorities and the such, must be taken care of first:]

A story comes to mind. I have no doubt you will all be familiar with it. A girl falls down a hole and oh, the place that she ends up! I wish I could say I had the opportunity to follow a white rabbit, but such an adventure has eluded me. It does feel like a rather long time since I last saw a city that was so normal, however. Congratulations on that. Superb job. I am particularly fond of the architecture and the rather profound sense of nostalgia I am feeling. I can almost here the the inane chortle of a woman who would, by normal standards, be too inebriated to function. Alas it is my imagination.

My name is Rose, if you will pardon my momentary loss of manners. I have a feeling perhaps that some of you may know me. Just a moment ago I had planned to take a nap. I was hoping to meet up with some friends, even! Perhaps I *am* napping and this is a dream which goes beyond the norm? I simply just do not know. Perhaps you can help me, if you are reading this. I can see no white eyed people as of yet, but I am looking for someone. Or rather, someone's.

One is rather loud and has an intriguing habit of spying. Another is a tasteful sort, even if her ability to hold a grudge is something to marvel at. The last two you will know by one's ability to mumble to himself every chance he gets and the other's ability to lick and sniff every available surface she thinks may holds secrets. Or taste delicious. They are an odd bunch. If you know them please return them to Rose Lalonde immediately in one piece. I am quite fond of them.

With that out of the way; where am I? Why am I here? Is there decent coffee? Tea, even! At this present moment I am not choosy. I am also missing a pen and a large notebook, though I have no doubt I will acquire them later.

Thank you for your time.

-RL.

Should I summarize?
Female/f/14/seeking blond male and loud aliens.

[ kanaya ends up just staring at this post for a few minutes, trying to figure out what the most appropriate way to respond would be. maybe assist her in finding these people she's looking for? at least the last one sounds like terezi, but puzzling out the others wasn't as easy.

ultimately, she opts for some attempt at cool and detached. ]

[nitidus]

WHAT MEMORY YOU FUCKIN GOT OF HERE?

[nitidus]

On the contrary, they are my personal responsibility.
None whatsoever, Mr. Makara. How rare it is to see you out in the open! I had begun to wonder if I had imagined you on my first day of the meteor.

[amoray]

[nitidus]

Perhaps it is too much to hope for that you have white eyes a pair of adorable puffed out pants and a look of sheepish remorse upon your face.

3/3

[nitidus]

I like to consider myself a realist.

Hello, Eridan.

You're in the 'City' which is the lamest name ever we all totally already know but the people here kinda aren't the most creative. At all. Unless they're evil, then they're great with names! Kinda. Looooong story.

Uh. I don't really recognize those people from the not-really-descriptions buuuuuut I can look for them if you want? There are a billion imports anymore it's really hard to keep track sometimes.

Welcome to the city?

[nitidus]

I found them, you needn't worry yourself.
Thank you very much, however. A city with many times you say, though. Do go on.

[viced]

Well, the coffee's pretty fucking good. [ A beat ] I'd say welcome back, but I don't think that really offers you much in terms of welcoming.

voice

[nitidus]

It would be more significant if I could remember you, I'm sure.

[luckout]

This isn't a dream 8u88le, Seer.

[nitidus]

I have deduced as much.

Inter-dimensional transport. The usual, I suppose.
Hello, Davesprite.

I DON'T FUCKING SPY ON ANYONE, GO CHOKE ON A DICTIONARY, LALONDE.

[nitidus]

It's interesting that you identified with "loud" and "likes to spy on people", Karkat. Tell me, would you also identify with any of the following:
- abrasive
- obnoxious
- sentimental
- starry-eyed?

I had a book to return to you, but I'm afraid it has been left behind.

[hexappeal]

It's good to have you back, Rose.

[nitidus]

Oh, thank you kindly. It does seem as though I was missed somewhat.

[culver]

Hello Rose. Welcome to the City.

permavid & text.

[nitidus]

Thank you. The welcome has been surprisingly warm.

voice

[osreborn]

I suppose you're probably caught up by now.

voice

[nitidus]

More or less. I feel less like a fish out of water than I did upon arriving at the very least.
