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.]

Pleasant you seem, as many people here are.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh! Why, thank you, I'm very glad you think so.

...Begging your pardon, but are you...er, a goblin of some variety?

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Hmmm-hmm-hmm. A goblin I am not, Jedi Master am I. Yoda, my name is Yoda.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see! Well, it's very nice to meet you, Master Yoda. How are you today?

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Well am I, as can be expected. Strange this place is, filled with many people.

What name have you, kind lady of this place.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is, isn't it? It's not usually so busy, though. Today is rather a special occasion.

And I'm Rosella.

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

All occasions are special, if from different points of view they are seen.

A beautiful name have you, live here long?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That's true, it really does matter how one looks at things. It's all a matter of looking on the bright side of things, really, and that's not always very easy to do...but it's always better if you do.

Yes, I've been here very nearly a year and three months, now. I've known people that have been here longer, but I'm one of the longtime residents, yes.

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Positive you are, useful in times like these.

...ahhhh, new am I, has a name does this place?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, someone has to be, really! So I suppose it might as well be me, since I have a great deal of practice at it, too.

Oh, yes, of course. It's called The City, and it's rather like...well, it's a world that's sort of outside of all the other ones, where people from all over can be brought.

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Heh-heh-heh. Strange this place is, but unique it is. Much can be learned.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

There can! I've met so many lovely people since coming here. It's wonderful, really--people that have saved the world, people that write poems and act in plays and fly through space, and everything in between.

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Space, you say? Jedi Knights are there? Sense not through the Force do I, but stranger things heard have I this day.

I COULD NOT RESIST.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... Huh. Have we met before?

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

I believe not, for unfamiliar you sound.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

... Guess I made a mistake then.

The name's Mickey. I think I'm a new arrival here... ya wouldn't happen to know anythin' about this place?

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Nice it is, to meet you Mickey. However, new as well am I, so information I can offer not.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Huh. Figures...

... Of course, it seems like most of us won't be here for long, accordin' to the people here.

[[OOC: I've got to go up early tomorrow so this will have to be a placeholder comment. Just tag back if it's okay with you to play this out later on!]]

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Correct you are, temporary this may be.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Most of 'em seem to think our presence here's just temporary... but that doesn't sound like the usual procedure for these worlds.

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Normal? Worlds like these, events like this is normal?

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

No... but I'm startin' to see patterns here. This isn't the first place like this I've run into, and odds are it won't be the last. These worlds seem to pull in people from hundreds of different worlds and universes... but how they do it, that's the question...

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Difficult it is, to manage such a feat. Powerful they are that rule this place.

[aguidingoath.livejournal.com]

Far too powerful for their own good... if there's even someone who rule this place. The power pullin' people in could be what's really runnin' the show.

[one-you-know.livejournal.com]

Possible that is. But power that I recognize it is not.
