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

[well.]



ill keep an eye out.

[horsepower]

[oh. he's missing someone as well, just. not sure he has enough to say it yet.]

D --> Are you implying she has
D --> Disappeared
D --> Or perhaps been taken unwillingly

[cue uncomfortably long pause between messages.]

D --> Is this a thing that happens often

[vestalvogue]

Thank You I Really Appreciate That
Actually I Was Hoping Maybe She Had Gone To Stay With Dave Terezi And Yourself But I Guess That Isnt The Case
Uh
Somewhat Off Topic What Am I Supposed To Call You
I Dont Think Daves Lusus Is Really Appropriate

[vestalvogue]

[It takes Kanaya a very long time to respond herself.]

Honestly I Dont Know
I Hope Not
Dave Has Already Told Me That She Was Apparently Here And Then Disappeared Again When He First Arrived But I Was Not Anticipating That She Would Do It Again
I Cannot Rule Out That She May Have Some Plan Which Jade And I Were Not Privy To But How Likely Is That
But I Am Afraid It Might Be
It Might Happen All The Time Which Does Not Bode Well

[Amy is beginning to wonder if this colored text thing should be something she should consider when talking to these people...]

People, often Newcomers, always come and go. There may be a chance that one of the companies have taken her for slavery or experimentation. There may have been a chance that the darkness may have gotten to her as well. There are murderers that prowl the street hunting for Newcomers to unleash their hatred, or simply prey to feed their hunger. But aside from that, the core has a mysterious way of playing sometimes.

It will often take away people without warning. I should know. I have been privy to this for two years now.

[arisenew]

i am very sorry to hear that kanaya
its unfortunate if shes already returned back even if her duties require her
however chances she are if she is still around ill keep an eye out
no need to worry though as im sure shell turn up all the same!

[horsepower]

D --> I believe I comprehend
D --> Somewhat
D --> Wherever could she have gone, though, if she has absconded before as the Strider human claims
D --> The city limits are bound by strange forces, are they not
D --> I am unfamiliar with her, but is there a she chance merely wished to cloister herself away for a brief sojourn
D --> Perhaps that is too optimistic

[vestalvogue]

I Would Not Even Trust That To Keep Her
I Am Sure She Could Find Some Way To Slip Off

[Text]

[vestalvogue]

[You'd blend right in...]

No I Dont Think
If Something Like That Were To Happen We Could Go About Tracking Her Down Couldnt We
There Would Be Channels
Some Kind Of Documentation
If She Were Still Here Alive Or Dead

[vestalvogue]

Thank You Aradia I Am Sure If Any One Of Us Could Find Her It Would Be You
I Just Want To Know What Has Happened Even If
She Isnt Here Anymore

[vestalvogue]

I Dont
Think That Rose Would Do Something Like That
I Know She Is Given To Independent Action But I Would Think She Would At Least Tell Us If She Had Had A Plan Of Her Own Or Needed Some Time
She Did Not Disappear Without Warning Before
Equius I Am Afraid That She Might Be Gone And Not Under Her Own Design

[Amusingly enough, if fan speculation is correct, she will grow up to be a Seer of Doom, so to speak~ (Also, she gets a hood. But she loses her memories and her hair color.)]

Unfortunately, the companies are no stranger to secrecy. There could be a chance that they are blocking off all methods of communication from her.

[greenshift]

[ jade sort of hovers without being able to help it, staying close as kanaya asks about rose. she keeps an eye on the responses too, fiddling with one of angstrom's tentacles idly and hoping despite herself that the familiar purple text will show up and tell them off for being silly. ]

I think... [ she pauses briefly, as though stopping to do just that before going on ] ...maybe the Core sent her back again, if none of us knows where she is.

[existy]

oh no, is that why she won't answer my pesterings?
that makes a lot more sense, and makes me feel a bit sad.
but if she's not answering any of us... then i guess that means it must be the core's doing again.

[Sounds like an ordinary day in Sgrub. Godspeed, poor Amy.]

Nothing Is Infallible

[vestalvogue]

[Kanaya is trying very hard to stay calm and composed. She feels helpless, just like she did when Rose disappeared behind the blackness and went grimdark. Only that time, Rose came back to them. It does not seem likely that she will be so lucky again.]

[Her hands are twisting in her lap.]

It's a possibility. [She's proud, almost, of how her voice doesn't shake.] Apparently there are more possibilities for someone to go astray than I realized here and nothing so arcane as the Furthest Ring.

I Hope So
Insomuch As That Seems To Be The Less Terrifying Explanation
I Am Sorry John

Re: [Text] - I'm on mobile, so I've got no formatting

[graceful_cutter]

That is true. There are various possibilities, but it is likely that a cruel fate had fallen upon her.

[greenshift]

[ she did see that one, so she doesn't look shocked or ask for elaboration, just looks steadily at kanaya, lips tugging into a frown. ]

I didn't know about them either. But I really, really don't think it'd be anything like that! Rose usually knows what she's doing, and she can take care of herself.

[ rose always has a plan, but sometimes that plan is to try to go after jack alone or decide to go on a suicide mission because of creepy gods or a white text guy, to keep her friends out of the loop because she's handling it, and sometimes it's easy to feel helpless or useless in the face of all of this -

- but if believing in rose is something she can do, really can do and be doing something instead of nothing, she's going to do it. ]

[plushrumpus]

bro is fine.

[rehashes]

are you fucking serious
god damn flighty broads never sitting still

[ornerycaps]

EQUIUS TOLD ME NEPETA IS GONE TOO, AND GAMZEE...
IT'S BETTER THIS WAY.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE FINALLY LEFT TO GO BACK TO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO DO.
WE SHOULD BE KEEPING THIS UP AND DOING THE SAME.

[arisenew]

i wish i had the answer to that
but im sure someone here will be able to
they seem helpful enough to provide answers
and whatever it is im sure rose is fine!
we both know she is a very strong person

[manipuleights]

She's gone? Seriously????????
That's gr8!
Oh, I mean, that totally suuuuuuuucks for you, Kanaya. Gosh, what was I thinking?
I'm sure she'll crawl out of something.
