Quest 317

[Semi-Accidental Voice Post]

...een four years now since I had this dress restored? There was a wonderful woman with the funniest name--Edna, I think it was, a Miss Edna Mode--and it was all ruined from the water, you know, but I showed it to her and she bustled me right out and clicked her tongue and said not to worry a bit, she'd have it all fixed right away and even better than it was before. And it still fits! Goodness knows I've grown since then--it was my newest and finest when I was still just seventeen. Oh, but it does still look rather nice, doesn't it?

I suppose it's silly, a bit, wanting to wear it today, but--well, I suppose it's a bit silly to be making conversation with a cat, too, isn't it? Though I'm sure I've met some very nice cats before, and you're one of the nicest. I'm so glad you've come out. It's almost as though you're hoping to see some friends, too!

Well, then, let's just get your ribbon on and a nice warm blanket in the basket--there, and we'll even match! Though I think your fur's a bit lovelier than my dress, even so.

There! And now I'll just--oh, did I bump this? I suppose I must've. Well, er, hello, everyone! Welcome to the City--or back to the City, if this isn't the first time. Snowdrop and I are both happy to see you! I'm afraid we'll be out and about a bit today--I think Miss Saya would rather people weren't coming to call at the Warehouse--but we'll be around the Square all day, and at the Blue Light a bit later this evening. So please do stop in and say hello!


[OOC: Feel free to action Rosella (and her cat, Snowdrop) up anywhere in the City, either out and about or at the Blue Light! As per usual, she's canonically from just after the end of Perils of Rosella, and with some very disjointed and vague knowledge of Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. If something comes up that I don't want her to know, I'll just have her forget it, so have a party--anything goes!

And as is becoming the perpetual case and necessity, I am totally okay with backdating. ♥]

[Snowdrop smells his first and starts yowling to be put down - and once she is she zooms to rub against his ankles]

Hello, Miss.

[primrosella]

[And what a nice picture the three of them make, all in blue and white together. Any passing observer might even think they were family.]

Blue.

[She's about to say something fond and clever, but then excitement gets the better of her and she just zooms for her own hug, instead.]

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

Hello, Rosella.

[He's smiling, and oh, here, have a real hug. He picks up Snowdrop the second he can]

I see you've taken spectacular care of her.

[primrosella]

[Hugs are very important.]

It took her quite some time to come around to me, you know. She still hides a great deal of the time, but lately she's been letting me see her more and more. And I think today she came out hoping to see some visitors of her own, too!

We really need to get you outside more often. Less work, more boys.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

Has Miss Alice come to say hi?

[He scratches under the cat's chin]

And you? How are you?

[primrosella]

Oh, but I'm outside plenty often! Not as much when it's so cold out, of course, but soon it'll be pleasant weather again.

[primrosella]

I haven't seen her yet, but I do still have my hopes. She wasn't quite so good at finding me as you always were, though.

[She doesn't hide her smile.]

Even now, you still always know where I am, don't you.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

you're not all that hard to find.

[primrosella]

Not in this dress, certainly.

Would it be awful to say I miss you? I know it goes without saying, and I don't mean to make you feel bad by it, either.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

Lets go get something to eat.

[He's smiling, though, setting down Snowdrop]

[primrosella]

[She could probably keep up on her own, the cat, but Rosella will put her carefully back into the basket anyway, for ease of travel.]

That sounds just lovely. And something cherry for dessert?

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

Yes, please!

[primrosella]

Good, that sounds just fine to me. I've the band set to play swing music tonight at the Blue Light, you know. If you think you might be in the mood for a dance?

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

I'd love a dance!

[primrosella]

My very best partner. I haven't yet met one who can outdo you, you know.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

I think that right there says a lot about it.

[primrosella]

Oh, no. You'd still be my favorite even if I did.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

[He smiles, and nudges her a little]

Danke for the welcome, mein Frau. Ah.. vhere is the City though?

[artsyfartsybaby]

But what about the boys, Rosella? All work and no boys makes Rosella a single girl who works all the time.

[primrosella]

Well, it's a bit difficult to say, really! It's certainly not in any world I'm familiar with--er, or rather, not one that I'd heard of before I came here, at least. Goodness knows I'm familiar enough with it now.

[primrosella]

Perhaps so, but is there anything so wrong with that, really?

[german_beefcake]

So it's... another world? Really?
