Has Anyone Seen A Girl Named Rose Lalonde
Blonde Hair Cut Short In A Bob With Lavender Eyes And Very Pale Skin
Particularly Adept WIth Wands And Needles And Prone To Sarcasm And Very Complex Plans And Erudite Language
Which Allows Her To Pass Off Some Of Her Statements As Less Cutting Than They Really Are
She Is A Lovely Girl Maybe A Bit Impulsive Really But A Very Good Friend And
She Has Gone Missing
She Was Residing With Myself And Our Friend Jade In The Tower Apartments And Then She Was Not There And We Have Not Seen Her Since
There Was No Note To Indicate Where She Might Have Gone But I Don't Want To Assume The Rest So If Youve Seen Her Or Heard Anything About Her Please Speak Up So We Can Relocate Her

It Was The Same For Us
On Alternia You Could Be Culled For A Great Many Reasons Some Of Which Were Flimsy To Say The Least
I Should Be Used To It By Now
We Lost Our Race And Our Home So That Only Twelve Of Us Remained A Number Which Steadily Diminished As Time Passed
You Could Say That I Should Be Fine With It
Seeing As I Am Dead
But Having Faced All That I Think I Am Quite Sick Of It To Be Honest
Which Is Strange For A Species Which Specialized In Conquest And Being Quite Good At Murdering Each Other And In Fact Encouraged To Do So Some Times Under Sanction Of Law
At Least
I Wish I Could Spare Just A Few From That Fate
Is That Overly Sentimental Of Me
I Think It Would Be On Alternia But Now I Am Unsure What Is Acceptable Or How I Ought To Feel About All Of This
Besides Angry If She Is Indeed Somebodys Captive

You must not think of yourself overly sentimental for the way you feel. I, too, have gotten tired of seeing death. This place is far better than what I consider home, but still there are things that drive me to outrage.

If she is truly gone, perhaps you may want to visit the Newcomer Memorial. Many mourn the passing of those they held dear in the Port there.

Hmmm Maybe
We Have Our Own Mourning Rituals
Which
I Dont Think Rose Would Be Very Happy About Me Attempting At Any Point
And Is Impossible If She Is Still Alive Somewhere Or If
Er
There Is No Body
So Thank You That Sounds Like A Nice Suggestion

[graceful_cutter]

[That was... long-winded.]

They don't have to be dead for you to want to spend time thinking about them. People visit often because they miss those who had gone home, too.

No I Know
It Is Just A Culturally New Idea
Thank You For The Suggestion I Will Definitely Think On It
It Just Seems Too Large
Does That Make Sense

[graceful_cutter]

I can see the sense behind your words. It is alright. Things like this often need time to comprehend or sink in.

[vestalvogue]

I Am Sorry
I Sound So Terribly Sentimental And Ungrateful

[graceful_cutter]

It is nothing to feel bad about. It is alright.

[vestalvogue]

Yes I Suspect That Is Culture Speaking
Is This The Part Where I Should Assert Platonically If You Ever Need Anything In Return I Would Be Willing To Help
That Seems Like It Would Be Fair

[graceful_cutter]

It does not matter to me if you do or don't. But the sentiment is appreciated.

[vestalvogue]

No I Think I Would Like To Return The Favor Someday
If I Can And That Is Amenable To You

[graceful_cutter]

Alright, then.
