[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.

[ Sometimes he wishes he had a useful power. Time is a total cop-out. He shoves Rose through first, just in case, follows quickly after when she doesn't get disintegrated. ]

You must save a lot on cab fare.

[nitidus]

[Rude, she thinks. But she trusts Kanaya. Mostly. Enough that she thinks she wouldn't kill her on purpose.

She casts Dave a look over her shoulder. ]

Your manners are still in-tact I see.

[glowsferatu]

[ she looses the threads as they pass through, letting the portal snap shut behind them, then holds the door open. ]

My finances are directed toward more important matters, little need to waste it on unnecessary transportation expenses.

[ she could make some pretty sweet bank if she ever thought to charge people for ferrying them around, but it's never occurred to her. she's cool with bringing her friends places, it's just another duty.

she holds the door for them before making her way to the counter. she's paying, after all, but since she's the one with a job that should be obvious. they can find a table once they've gotten their drinks. ]

[hashrap]

[ he skitters in front of both of them to get to the counter first, draping an arm across it like he's the pimpmaster hustledaddy of all snippy bookshrews and their lesbian love interests. ]

Alright, you're gonna have to take this down because me and my crew are itching for some caffeine to curb or evident radness and refill our obnoxious meter. So, take down two cappucinos, one short, one long, a peppermint tea, a white chocolate mocha with extra whipped cream on the top, a skinny latte for the lady who's watching her figure and a double shot for yours truly. Miss lightglobe over here will foot the bill.

[What a remarkable show of reading and counting. Rose turns to Kanaya, ducking her head in close and pointing to a free table. ]

I'm sure he can handle carrying it all.

[glowsferatu]

[ she takes two twenty dollar bills out of her purse and places them on the counter in front of dave before following after rose ]

Am I mistaken, or had he ordered three drinks extra?

[hashrap]

[ he doesn't need the help of girls to carry his coffee. he can carry coffee like a man.

he has the barista hand him over a set of cardboard cupholders. innovation! class. he saunters over to them with both in hand and doesnt drop anything. take that, rose! ]

That's me taken care of. So, what're you girls having?
