primrosella | Quest 136

...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.]

I've missed you too, sweetie. Well, not really, since I've seen you at home...

I know, time is different between here and at home. It's been months since I last saw you, Daddy! How are you?

Just wonderful! Just wonderful. What about you? I've been reading your Oh what did you call them entries on this thing.

Oh, I'm all right ~~now~~. It's been something of a...well, a rough month, I suppose, but I've managed all right. And I'm wonderful now that you're all here too!

And it seems like we're all here!

Yes! Alexander's here and Mother's just said hello as well! Do you remember the last time you came to visit? It was a few months ago for me.

I do! I kept hoping I would come back.

And here you are! So it seems our hoping has paid off after all, because I kept hoping you'd come back, too.

I wish I could stay. I know you can take care of yourself, but I don't like my little girl being without me in a place like this.

I wish you could stay too, Daddy. But it's not as though I don't have plenty of people looking out for me, too, when you can't be. There's Sam and Blue and Cain and Kurama and Neil and Todd and--oh, I have all sorts of friends that I can count on if I need them.

That's good, Rosella. I always wished you could live a bit of the non-royal life, so I'm glad here that you can.

And it goes both ways, too. There's people here that count on me, as well.

And they couldn't have someone better to count on.

I wish it weren't so hard to do the right thing, sometimes. But that's when it matters the most, isn't it?

Yes, that's especially when it matters the most.

...Well, in any case, I know something that isn't hard--and that's eating all the treats waiting for us in the kitchen! I just made pumpkin pie yesterday, too, so that's ready and waiting to be eaten.

Pumpkin pie, eh?

Yes, and a hard-won pumpkin it was, too, so I imagine it'll taste all the better for it.

Oh, I'm excited to hear the story behind that!

Well, you see, a pumpkin patch appeared here just the other day, and it turned out there were monsters lurking in it. So I had a...rather interesting time of it, really, trying to retrieve my pumpkin.

Oh, I wish I had been here for the cursed pumpkin patch!

Well, I don't. It was really just dreadful.

Really? Were there pumpkin monsters?

Worse, there was a witch. And a perfectly horrible witch, too.

Oh no!
