Quest 215

[Accidental Video Post]

[The video opens with the sound of a click, revealing a lopsided view of what appears to be a bedroom--and Rosella, on her hands and knees, peering beneath the bed. Her hair is fanned out behind her in a curling mass of gold, a sharp contrast to both her blue dress and the carpet beneath her. However, there is something strange about the scene: anyone who knows Rosella will be able to identify at once that this is not her own bedroom, since the floor is actually visible, and her surroundings are neat and tidy. Sitting nearby, partially obscuring the frame, sits a brown basket with a blue ribbon tied around the handle and a few fuzzy-looking towels and sheets inside.]

There you are. You remember me, don't you? Yes, of course you do, it's just me, see? It's just me. Now come here, Snowdrop. Come here...

[She reaches a little farther under the bed, making a faint noise of frustration.]

Please come here? I know, I'm sorry, it's been--it's been days, I'm sorry, but I was cursed and acting quite silly and I didn't know any better, or I would've been here much sooner. Snowdrop, come here, come on...

[But gradually, she stops reaching, and instead just sits still and looks under the bed, apparently watching something.]

I'm sorry, but you have to come with me. I have to take you home with me, Snowdrop. Please come out? I know you like it here much better, but...but Blue isn't here to take care of you anymore. And that means that now you've got to...to come live with me, instead. Please? And Prince, too, we'll bring him back with us, we won't forget him. I'll remember. I'll...

Please come here, Snowdrop? I know it won't be the same without Blue looking after you, and that you're...going to miss him, so much, so very much...

[Slowly, Rosella sinks from her hands and knees to the ground, now lying on her side with her head resting against the floor and one arm still stretched beneath the bed.]

Please come out. We have to go home, Snowdrop...to the Warehouse, I mean. You have to come back with me. I promised Blue I'd look after you, and I can't look after you if you won't come out. We can't just stay here...we have to go home, so you have to come out. We can't stay here forever. We have to go home. We can't...can't...

[She slowly trails off, going quiet and hardly moving, just lying still half-curled on the floor.]

I know how much you're going to miss them, Snowdrop...

[And after another few seconds of silence, the feed ends.]


[OOC: So Blue went home on Monday, and thanks to the High School curse following immediately afterward, Rosella hasn't had to actually face that reality until now. Sob, two of her dearest friends in three months, poor kid. Feel free to recognize Blue's apartment or the fact that the cat she's projecting her sadness onto is Alice's, and put two and two together from there!

Also, for anyone interested, my HMD thread is here!]

Rosella? What are you doing?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[Jumping at the unexpected sound, at the moment.]

I'm--the cat, it's under the bed and I can't...I can't reach it.


[OOC: Noooooooo no guilt! /hugs]

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Surely it'll come out for something to eat. Have you tried that?

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

Are you okay? I mean... probably not but do you need anything?

[Voice]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'm...I'll be fine once I catch the cat, it's just that I can't seem to get her to come out.

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how to catch a cat or I would offer advice and help and ... whatever else.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

You doing alright, Rosella? Outside of the whole cat not coming out thing.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I just need to catch her. I have to take her home, but she won't come out.

[No, she is clearly not okay, even if she refuses to admit it.]

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Okay, Sweetheart. Take a deep breath. If you're upset she's going to know it and figure all hell's breakin' loose so she should stay hidden.

You need someone to come drag her out or have you got it under control.

Snowdrooooooop! Here, kitty-kitty-kitty! This most precious, holiest, prettiest, most moe among balls has declared war upon you and yours! Snowdroooooop! Come out and face it, roll around cutely, like the fierce cat your ancestors taught you to be!

[had_not_lived]

Are you--

Of course you're not. Oh, Rosella...

Do you want a hand with that?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I've heard plenty of good advice for catching her now, so...so I'll give those a try and hopefully they'll work, and then I can take her home. To the Warehouse, I mean, I have to take her there, and Prince too, since they can't stay here anymore.

Do you...I don't want to bother you, but...

[hatedbyfanboys.livejournal.com]

... Rosella?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I just...I have to catch her and bring her home, she can't very well stay here, but she won't come out.

[mumbled_truth]

Rosella? I spoke to Neil-- we'll be over just as soon as we can, okay?

tra la la~

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Todd? Of course, I'll...be a little while, I still have to catch the cat, but...yes, all right, I'll see you both soon.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Do you need some help, Rosella? Not so much with the cat, just--you know.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I...I don't know. I don't know much about taking care of cats, but I have to get that done before I can do anything else.

[wandbreaker]

[There's a crackling, like he's deciding if he should reply to this or not, but he finally does]

Try some bits of tuna. That's how Lucy gets Shadow to come out.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

We'll give it a try. And if she doesn't, then...a talking cat said to just leave her alone, and she'd come out on her own that way, so I'll try that, too. Something will work. It has to.
