[ Ah, another game and another chance to lose. It was all tugging at Rose Lalonde's cloaked collar; an obvious weight that nearly caused the collected and refined girl to lose her cool. As she had traversed through Mac Anu, learning as much as she could and memorizing the intricate pathways leading to each specific shop, she continued to seek out more.

At the very most, Rose refused to be 'lost' here.

Tugging her over sized book upon a thin silk strap against her shoulder, the pale girl continues onward. A moment or two passed until her bright eyes landed upon the docked ship.

She would glance around, seek an answer for a question she hadn't even asked yet. With a soft clear of her voice, among the few strangers that lurked the area, she spoke. ]

Pardon me for the intrusion, but does anyone have a clue of if this ship is set to sail or is it merely a decorative piece?

[ She noticed the rust upon the spikes that dug into the chain links which held the ship in place. It looked as if it hadn't left the dock in quite sometime. ]

Or at the very least, where it leads to on its voyage?

[ Curiosity killed the cat, it seemed, or perhaps it would give it some proper closure or allies. ]

Oh.
...
That offers quite the predicament for you. I'm sure the stakes are stacked in a different order, but jeez.

[ Even she tugs a bit awkwardly at her collar. ]

I'm not sure on the estimate of time, that isn't my expertise. You'd have to speak with a Strider about that; and not the one you are use to speaking with, assuming there is a parallel for him as well.

We'll muddle through. It's not like we can really let something like that stop us.

[Jake just shrugs.]

Would I be correct in guessing that would be Dave Strider? He's kind of Dirk's brother, and a famous movie producer.

[Is he excited about that? No, it's just your okay yes he is excited.]

Correct indeed.

[ Her eyebrow twitches a bit, as if she is truly offended on Dave's success. ]

...Interesting. I'm sure his campaigns against the horror of puppet dong has gained national notoriety.

[ She crosses her arms a bit. ]

To shift gears, I have to ask -- what were you doing prior to us meeting up?

I don't think any of that came up in his SBAHJ movies. You and he were mostly concerned about subtly outing the Condesce, Batterwitch, whatever you want to call her.

Not a problem! I was in a Dream Bubble, I think it's called. Reliving a memory after getting, ah, knocked out. The volcano on the island I live on has been acting up quite a bit, and I wouldn't be surprised if it actually blew.

Oh my god.

[ Rose huffed in an unimpressed tone. ]

Those movies should be burned at the stake like a witch.

[ She stiffens her stance, perking her eyebrow at the mention of dream bubbles. No, she moves on quickly. ]

Then, it seems that it's good coincidence that you were brought here then.

[ Rose takes a few steps away, looking down at her little communicator before tucking it back into her napsack. ]

If you're here and I'm here, there most certainly will be others. I'd like to form some sort of rendezvous for us, if you're in for such a commitment.

Of course! All I need is whatever information you deem necessary to give me.

Alright. Once I find out who else may show up, I'll keep in contact with you for more updates.

[ She's totally already adding you to her device. ]

Sounds good to me, Miss Lalonde!

[He totally doesn't mind.]

Call me Rose. It's really no problem with formality, please.
That makes me sound old and I'm only 14.

[ Okay, that was weird saying. ]

I'd call you Mr. English but that would make me feel as if I'm addressing a principal or such. Not flattering.

[ She laughs juuust a tad. ]

Ha! Yes, I can see your point. Rose it is, and I would really rather like to avoid being known as a quaint old man.

[Jake just grins. She has a great smile. He can see where Roxy gets it from. Or...whatever, time shenanigans.]

Good. Now that is taken care of..

[ She didn't mean to tease the boy, but she didn't deserve or require any formal titles.

Rose continues on, barely noting Jake's slight stare at her. Poor Jake must miss his friends. ]

So, from this point on, do you have any plans in terms of action? The game does offer a lot, I will admit..

[He does, but he's trying not to dwell on it.]

Honestly, I'm not sure, though I wouldn't mind leveling up and exploring the dungeons.

Hm. I think a nice gathering for a dungeon run sounds fun, actually.

Perhaps we could all form a party some time for a dungeon crawl?

[This sounds like the best thing ever.]

[ Oh, hell yes. ]

Depends on how many we can form. If we cover all classes, we'd have quite a good chance against higher level dungeons for quicker leveling.

That's certainly true. It'd also be more difficult for the monsters to catch us by surprise. We could meet up somewhere to discuss this more, if you think that's a good idea?

That sounds like the smartest choice.

[ Rose lifts her Relic up and begins to register all the details needed. ]

If you find your friends, or any other people who might seem like an asset, feel free to send me a message and we will work something out.

This is all a game now, so we have to play smart.

Alright! I'll be sure to do that.

[He's so excited about this holy shit jklfdsa]

Is there anything else, Rose?

I believe that is all.

[ Oh my gosh why is he looking like Jade... Too much like Jade. ]

I will allow you the rest of the "evening" for your adventures.

It was nice meeting you, Jake.

[Because Jade and Jake are obviously awesome people.]

The feeling is mutual! I hope you have fun while we're here.

[Dashing off to go see if any of his friends arrived in the interim!]
