AD-venture

[bigbadrose]

Well, I dunno about the rest of you, but if I don't get my sparks up, my spells are gonna be useless forever! So who's ready to go on another adventure already?

Oh, wait, blimey, I forgot about work. [facepalm!] Okay, soon as I get my shift schedule and find days off, THEN who's ready?

You are out of your mind.

[bigbadrose]

That's a no then?

[serpentinthegarden]

Your guy nearly got eaten by spiders!

[ Mine did get eaten by a fish! ]

And you want to go again?! Stay home... let them do their own dirty work for a change.

[bigbadrose]

He's not really my guy, you know. Think we talked about that, you and me.

And no. This isn't home. Home is out there on the road for me. Adventuring. And it's hardly dirty work. Retail though?? Now THAT'S dirty work.

You didn't read the manual, did you?

[Honestly, part of Rosabella just wanted to rest a while longer, especially after that disaster of an adventure. But she's never been one to sit still for too long, and it was exactly that disaster that has her thinking.]

...Well, I wouldn't mind going. But I still need to go through the training course. Plus I still need to find a job myself.

[So much to do.]

So if you find someone who can go with you sooner, I understand.

[bigbadrose]

Yeah, rest up, but you're top of the list so far.

[legacyofarose]

All right. I'll let you know once I go though the training course.

[Hopefully that'll help her be able to do more this time around.]

I don't think we've been properly introduced though. [Rosabella remembers seeing her when she first arrived, but they hadn't really talked.] I'm Rosabella.

[bigbadrose]

Rose.

[Waggles fingers.] I was at your welcoming party, but since we all were, I didn't really want to overwhelm you, since it's bad enough on your first dimension travel without warning trip, yeah?

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Eleanor just laughs.

She may also be drinking.]

[bigbadrose]

Still owe you clothes shopping.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Damn straight you do.

[bigbadrose]

Just be warned, it's slim pickings right now. Until we expand what isn't corrupted, they're barely hanging in there.

[takeitsleazy]

I'm already on an adventure, Rose. It's called "break in the new human liver."

[raises a margarita]

Cheers.

[bigbadrose]

That's not an adventure! That's the "Oh shit, I've seen too much" phase!

[takeitsleazy]

Clearly, you've never been drinking with Eleanor.

[bigbadrose]

No... I've been drinking with Jack, but that's how we both used it then. How is drinking with her an adventure?

[king_of_egypt]

I was concerned about gathering sparks myself. [It had been a while sine he'd last spoken to Rose, so it was about time he changed that] Just be sure not to overexert yourself. Take a little time to recover before heading immediately back out.

[bigbadrose]

Nah, can't stop moving, if I stop I'll think about things I don't want to.

[king_of_egypt]

[Well.... he hadn't wanted this to turn into some sort of life lecture so he delivered the following gently]

Or... you could try addressing those concerns and try finding a better way to cope with them. Running away from unpleasant thoughts isn't going to make them go away.

[smilingarmor]

I'll have to pass for now, darling. I have a few things I want to do here- both magic related and not- before I jump back into the fray.

But assuming this is an open invitation, I'll take a rain check, hmm?

[bigbadrose]

Sure! I gotta do about what, two dozen? Soooooo yeah!

[smilingarmor]

Excellent!

Now then, speaking of invitations, one of those things I mentioned is putting together a bit of a party to celebrate our safe return and first success, with Mal and Figment being somewhat the guests of honor, as it will be purple dragon themed. Do you think you'll be putting in an appearance? Or should I just make certain Ace doesn't eat the entire cake and save you a slice?

[guitar_hero]

I'm down for that. So long as you don't mind a little company. New recruit just came in. [he leans back and a delicate head pokes above the stall door, looking uncertain]

You can learn from each other.

Action

[bigbadrose]

[Sod it, this is after Eleanor's drinking log and Rose just RUNS OUT to the stables to find him and full on breaks down crying on him.]

[And pets the horsey :333333]

What's her name?

No one wanted to go with me! [Bawls.] I wanted to ask you, but I thought asking you directly would be taking away your free will by putting you on the spot, and then literally everyone either didn't want to go, or already had a partner, and it was mortifying, and I took it out on Eleanor and Crowley and Michael, and it was embarrassing and even though it's all better now, I just wanted to go with you, and I don't even know why I overthought it and didn't do what I really wanted all along!! [Bawl. She's fine.]

Action

[guitar_hero]

[he has no idea what's really wrong but he can smell the alcohol, so he'll take a guess]

Ask her.

And hey, you can ask me any time. I'll say no if I want. Most likely I'll say yes. Or maybe later. [he kisses the top of her head without thinking] Don't worry so much and just be you. We're still we, you know. A little different but my wanting to do things with you hasn't changed. Plus... adventure... [jazz hands]
