Quest 136

[primrosella]

...Goodness, when I was baking for the party tonight, I wasn't expecting this many visitors. But it seems you're all here again, are you? It's not quite so nice as being able to visit home, of course, but it's always lovely to have visitors. And especially for the holidays!

Just not Lolotte, please, not her--not again...

Hello, everyone! Do come by to say hello, won't you? It's always such fun to see you and visit with you. And of course, you're welcome to stay for the party tonight, if you'd like! I'm sure it won't be any trouble at all.

...Well, unless we run out of snacks, but it's not as though it's difficult to make a few batches of cookies in a hurry. Speaking of which, I rather ought to get busy with that, shouldn't I?

And of course...if there's anyone here from the land of Daventry, please do stop in to say hello. It's been quite a while since I last heard word of home, and I'd be glad for any news.

...My, what a nice way to end October. I think perhaps it'll turn out to be a happy Halloween, after all.


[OOC: /copies and pastes As always: Canonically, she's 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! HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT.

Also, muns, keeping in the spirit of Ye Olde Text-Based Adventure Games, that down below there? Is a command prompt. If you feel like 'directing' Rosella to carry out actions like "get bowl" or "open door", she might just feel compelled to respond...unless it's too complicated, in which you might get a fun error message instead. (Guaranteed acceptable commands include "get", "look", "open", "close", and "use".) Have fun!

And of course, I am totally okay with backdating.]

Oh, dear. And what all did you say about me, I wonder?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Only that you were quite different from most girls I've met. He wanted to know exactly how close our friendship was, and I assured him there was nothing untoward between us.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, that's Daddy all right. I hope he'll manage to find his way over to me; I do so want to see him again.

And I'm different in a good way, I hope?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I hope that he will too. I'll send him your way if we cross paths again.

Yes, certainly. You're far bolder than most girls I've met, though in a better way than some might think if a 'bold girl'.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I think he's just found me, actually. Shall I trick him, or give him a treat?

There's nothing wrong with being a little adventurous, of course.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

He's your father. I, for one, would suggest that you give him a treat.

Certainly not.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And it seems he's not the only one--my whole family has turned out to visit today! Daddy and Mother and even Alexander, oh, it's wonderful!

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Yes, I believe I've just met your mother as well.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Don't let her convince you to marry me.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I certainly will not.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It's really rather unfortunate that that's my first concern as soon as I hear my mother's about, isn't it?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it is, yes. But it's her nature, I suppose.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'd better not tell her how old I am, either. She'll have a fit.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I think it would be best to keep her calm, yes.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Let's see, that's Mother and Daddy you've met, then...have you run into Alexander, as well? He's still getting used to all this, I think, so I don't know that he's been out and about as much as they have.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

No, I've not met him as yet. Perhaps I should make a point of looking for him and speaking to him.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

You should! I think you'd get along very well, the two of you.
