[To begin with, their is an adorable kitten scurrying about Rose's bed. Previous to switching on the feed, Countess Belladonna has been making it her business to use Rose's hands as chew toys. Laughing, Rose turns the device up towards herself and smiles. It is a smile of a girl who is up to no good. It is the smile of a girl who has found gold at the end of the rainbow.

It is the smile of a girl who has recently been made aware of something both hilarious and utterly baffling. Bless you, Gamzee Makara, and your no brain to mouth filter. ]

Good afternoon! If you'll forgive this intrusion into your day to day lives, I have recently come across some information that has had me in a conundrum for the last couple of days. I hope none of you will think me a gossip, but curious minds are eager for answers after all.

[She clears her throat. ]

Just who let Gamzee and Eridan come together in romantic union in the past? I almost couldn't believe my ears.

[Questions to be asked later: how often did they make-out and why this.

A couple of minutes after this question, she switches to private:]

Tavros, Nepeta -- are you busy at the moment?

It Isnt One I Could Pretend To Understand
Maybe A Projection Of Themselves
An Extension Of Their Own Desires
I Dont Know You Have A Better Knowledge Of Human Psychology

[nitidus]

I see.
Perhaps they are locked in an eternal, bitter struggle of sexual frustration and sarcastic remarks. A shame.

[glowsferatu]

I Worry That Maybe You Dont Take It As Seriously As You Should

[nitidus]

I take the potential relationship between Mr. Nygma and Mr. Osborn very seriously.

I'm sorry. It is just very hard to imagine any reason as to why I would willingly spend my time with Eridan Ampora that was not dedicated to milking gossip from him or making apologize in every human language I can think of.

[glowsferatu]

If I Had An Answer To That I Might Understand A Great Many More Things In This Universe

[nitidus]

Alas, we may never know.

[glowsferatu]

I Dont Exactly Find That Reassuring

But Anyway As I Said It Was The Day After Your Birthday That You Returned
From After The Green Sun
Well Its Creation At Least
Theres Not Really Much To Talk About Past That Point
I Mentioned What Had Happened On Valentines Day Already
You Could Probably Find Related Memos Archived On The Network
Some Of The Older Ones Are Unavailable But I Dont Really Like Dwelling On Them
We Were Somewhat Better Acquaintances But You Never Really Talked About Anything
I Suppose You Hadnt Really Trusted Me Perhaps But It Never Really Felt Like The Friendship Was Really Mutual
Honestly It Was A Little Exhausting To Deal With Sometimes

I Suppose That Exhaustion Had Given Way To Distance By The Time She Was Gone And You Had Arrived

[nitidus]

It seems that I was sort of a bitch? I'm not sure if intentionally?
Perhaps I was distancing myself our of preservation. Perhaps that is wishful thinking?

[glowsferatu]

I Couldnt Say
Any Time I Tried To Broach The Subject You Would Shut The Discussion Down
The Words Were There To Ensure Me That You Did Care
But The Actions Certainly Never Reflected That

You Can See Why I Didnt Really Want To Put Any Of That On You Before

[nitidus]

Thank you for telling me. I mean, I understand your hesitance before.

[glowsferatu]

A More Attentive Clean Slate Seemed Too Good To Be True
I Didnt Want To Risk Spoiling It
Beyond Which That Degree Of History Wasnt Fair To Put On You Anyway
The Only Difference Now Is That It Matters Less
Aside From A Higher Frequency Of Run-Ins Youve Had With The Consequences More Recently
But I Dont Know Given That Maybe You Could Find Some Use Of Your Own For The Information

1/2

[nitidus]

I suppose it's just nice to have an explanation for the weirdness at the beginning of my stay.

2/2

[nitidus]

And Norman's interest in me.

[glowsferatu]

Which Leaves The Question Of How That Affects Your Own Interest In Him

[nitidus]

It hasn't really changed. If anything, I am more curious.

[glowsferatu]

Well I Cant Really Speak To It Since I Dont Know Him But By Reputation
Though He Does Seem A Little Weird

[nitidus]

He is a little eccentric, I think.

[glowsferatu]

I Imagine He Would Have To Be If The Rumors Are True

[nitidus]

And which rumors are they?

[glowsferatu]

You Know
That Whole Thing With Nygma
Its A Little Baffling Because Most Humans Dont Even Understand Romantic Hate
If Its Even True I Mean

[nitidus]

You're kidding.

[glowsferatu]

You Mean You Havent Heard That Yet
Thats Surprising
If It Should Be Revealed Only To Be A Rumor I Would Expect You To Be A Primary Suspect For Its Origin

[nitidus]

Perhaps it was my predecessor.

[glowsferatu]

Yes Thats What I Meant
The You That Wasnt Entirely You
Im Sure You Had Stories On The Topic Somewhere
Though I Was Never Given Opportunity To Read Them

[nitidus]

I'm afraid I may have to go and find them now.
