Quest 214

Dear Grandmother,

Edmund mentioned you've been trying your hand at learning your way around a computer, so I thought I'd E-mail you a letter rather than calling you, to give you some practice! I hope it makes it through all right, and that Wilbury was able to get things all straightened out if you had any trouble with it along the way.

Thank you for offering to send the car around for us yesterday! Ed and I had a very nice dinner, and the chocolate cake was magnificent as always. And I even brought some back up to school with me afterward, so there's no need to worry that I'm not getting all the good food and treats that I'm accustomed to when I'm at home.

Classes are going well, and today is club recruiting day. Please tell Grandfather I'm feeling confident about all my AP classes, and also that I'm thinking very hard about applying to TCU, after all.

I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

All my love,
Rosella

Alexander,

You were right about coming back to school; it turns out old memories are harder to let go of than I thought. Still, I like having the freedom of being on my own (while still being near Grandmother and Grandfather in case I ever need them), so I guess Ohtori was the right choice for me, after all. I still wish you were here, though. I miss you.

How is that special chemistry class-arrangement-thing going? I don't suppose there's still time to persuade you to switch intended majors to business, and get me off the hook with Mother and Daddy?

Dear Edgar,

I'm sorry for what happened between us, and for hurting you, and for the way I

TO-DO LIST:
--Write home
--Finish unpacking

o Dust shelves
o Sort clothes
o AUGH I HATE UNPACKING Everything else

--Start AP English assignment from Mr. Pevensie
--Buy any last materials for Figure Drawing
--Match notebooks to textbooks

o Color-coded, of course

--Eat NO MORE THAN ONE QUARTER HALF of the leftover chocolate cake
--Call Ed
--Treat myself to a new pair of shoes
--Go walk around the club fair
--Pick a club to join

o Debate team?
o Music?
o Fencing? (As though Grandmother would approve of that.)
o "DPS", whatever that is?

Ugh, we're not back three days and already I'm behind. Though I suppose the club fair ought to be next on my list, really, since I'm sick to death of unpacking and I'm certainly not going to get any homework done when there's so much interesting commotion outside. Coffee and a walk sounds heavenly right about now. Besides, then if I take the long way home, I can knock another item off the list--getting those shoes I want.

Oh, which reminds me--does anyone actually know if Ohtori has an equestrian team? You'd think this is something I would've figured out by my senior year, but all I ever get are ambiguous shrugs and noncommittal murmurs when I ask about it. Which is really too bad, because it sounds like fun.

Right, then. Coffee and club fair now. I really need to get outside.


[So here we have an AU!Rosella, carrying on much where she left off after last year's High School AU curse. Feel free to hit me up over here to read a summary of her backstory or if you want to prearrange anything with her, and feel free to pretend she knows you from class/around school if you go to Ohtori! ♥]

Fencing, that seems like a good way to exercise to me. Besides, I can make an excuse to practice with you.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

My brother fences a little, you know. Sometimes we used to wish we could trade lessons--so I could go learn to fence, and he could go learn piano. But we never got away with it back then, so maybe I will give it a try now.

[wandbreaker]

Oh, the piano. The bane of my eight year old self.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, did "Ode to Joy" prove too formidable a foe for poor eight-year-old Edmund?

[wandbreaker]

Fur Elise actually made me cry.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It didn't. Fur Elise, really?

[wandbreaker]

Well, no, but it makes me sound sensitive if I say that.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Because you really need any extra help at sounding sensitive.

[wandbreaker]

Of course not.

I like your to-do list.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I do, too! All except for the one about finishing unpacking. I wish crossing it off on my list made it go away in reality, but it won't.

[wandbreaker]

I'd extend a hand to assist but I have class tonight.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'll get to it eventually, once I've procrastinated on it as long as humanly possible. Which class?

[wandbreaker]

Arabic 201.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

You're far too organised. It can't be good for your health.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Organized? Clearly you haven't seen the current state of my room.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe there's hope for you yet, then.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Does it help that I fully intend to procrastinate on that part of my list for as long as I possibly can, as well?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Yes, that improves matters immensely, actually.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Good. Because I'm getting out of this room and going to the fair before I go absolutely insane.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we'll cross paths there, then.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Do you have an idea of the clubs you want to look at?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I don't know that I especially want to join any of them.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Lucy seems adamant about getting you to run for class president.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

She can be as adamant as she likes, but it won't work.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. She's a nice enough girl, but it's starting to bother me a little, how she always seems to know everyone's business.
