Ya know? I really like you when you're in a good mood.

Your smile can still chill my blood to ice but in a really perky way.

Well, I wouldn't get used to it. Not much to be in a good mood about these days, coming back to life - so to speak - doesn't happen every day.

[ Have a patented Rose Wilson Eyeroll™, Gar. ] That's just what I need, the word perky being attached to me and ruining my rep.

I dunno, seems like it's happening more and more often back home. Then again I'm finding it harder and harder to pay attention to the world beyond my line of sight.

How'd you come back? Actually how'd YOU die? You're like one of the most hardcore girls I know.

Yeah, I'm not real big of what's going on in "Prime Earth" either. Lot of it seems like shitty 12 year old fanfiction writers came up with it.

You bet your ass I am.

Figurative death. Getting shoved to the side for a few years so the mundane could focus on "work," or whatever the hell Flashpoint is. Looks like the Original Rose Wilson is a scarce commodity.

Ohh, good. In that case I'm with you. I've been collecting dust for like...two years while back home things get weird even by our standards.

I thought maybe munny was gonna start shopping me around again, or at least my cute cartoony counterpart but looks like I'm meme hopping for now.

[ker-shrug, grin]

Tell me about it. Nightwing in red? What's up with that? I mean his Renegade thing was hot, but I always thought he rocked the blue. [ And if you tell him she said so she will stab you, Garfield. ]

Mun's all excited about a new place that just got set up.

nexus_sages. Used to play at a place like it back in the day apparently. So looks like I'm headed there. Sounds lame though. Anti-violence field? Just stick me in a kindergarten why don't you.

Ooo~ shiny new game! Hey! Hey mun! Look at the thing!!!

[chuckles]

Kindergarten wouldn't be so bad if you ask me. Three recesses, snack time, and singing songs? Beats the heck out of being dyed red and fighting for my life.

Come out to play, Beast Boy. It's gonna be boring as hell, might as well get a few laughs out of it.

Right? I mean, digging some of the power set new-me has, but - and this is coming from me here - she's such a bitch. The hell is up with that?

It's not her fault really, she's just being written by people who don't see how complex you're supposed to be. Wonder girl is going through the same problem.

I did get picked up by some DC/Marvel sandbox, but I'm having trouble finding my footing. Then in this like, sword and sorcery muse box thing I got suckered into working for some sky pirates.

[turns into a parrot flapping over to land on her shoulder]

Yeah, seriously. "Hey I got tits and I kick ass!" isn't exactly a personality.

Only place I ever went was some intergalactic prison ship. Tried to rehabilitate me from my villainous ways. Got to go through withdrawal though, that was fun. Tim was a real support.

[ She smirks, flicking at the tip of his beak with a finger. ] Hope they didn't stick you with parrot duty 24/7.

[chirps and clicks his beak]

Not all the time...

[another shapeshift grinning at her as a monkey]

Sometimes captain wants to watch a dancing monkey.

Duuuude, that's rough. At least I got to cuss and drink pretty much as much as I wanted.

Oh there's plenty of both of that, Pirates you know?

[then turns into a snake lounging casually on her shoulders]

So that detox thing, would you basically do that in any game you don't have? Because THAT sounds rough to me. More proof you're like...unstoppable.

Right! Did the captain ever say "Why is the rum gone?" please say yes.

[ You can get head scritches for that, Gar. Rose loves snakes. ]

Wasn't pretty. Looks like "munny" is thinking of putting me through that shit again. Doesn't want to shift my "canon-point" or whatever. And well, if you'd seen me back then I doubt you woulda thought that. The asshole wrote me as fucking pathetic, I needed help to walk!

I begged her to, she rolled her eyes and did it. Best day ever!

For her birthday I'm getting her a jar of dirt.

[ooo skritches! He adores them so. Enjoy a forked tongue tickling your cheek in thanks]

Yeeesh! Do mind love to aim for that low hanging pain fruit or what?

My mun is the same way. He just LOVES making me lose my powers and go through like...emotional turmoil over it. Jerk. And don't get me started about the time he had your dad impale me. Had to turn into a starfish just to get away.

I'd offer you a fistbump if you weren't a snake right now.

[ That might even get something that closely resembles a giggle out of her. Tickly. ]

I don't get what the fascination is with all the drama. Their lives can't be that boring, right? Then again, they are controlling us in random-ass places. So, guess their lives can't be all that great?

I like to think the all powerful beings controlling their lives are SUPER boring.

[and because Gar can't help but flirt a bit, he'll snake tongue her earlobe playfully as well.]

It could be worse. Your dad could still be a pirate.

That would make a lot of sense. Doesn't seem to be a single superperson out there. Bet if there were they'd have better things to do all day.

[ That gets another suppressed giggle. Stop flirting with her as a snake, Gar. It's weird. ]

Ugh. I swear the people writing that shit are running out of ideas.

[nope, snake flirting is the new hotness, he'll just casually slither along the back of her neck. Enjoy the scales]

So, if you had to write a story like hours, how would you un-screw it up?

[ This is why no one takes you seriously. It's not that your powers are ineffective, its just that you're a dork with them. Also, shivering. ]

Mn, tickles.

Oh easy. One day there was a girl named Rose. Her father wasn't a psychopathic mercenary who turned her into a human weapon and she lived happily ever after, the end. How was that? I worked really hard on it.

[he'll leave the being serious to you. You make it look cool. He laughs at her story.]

Well I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Not exactly the kind of origin story that keeps people's attention but at least your muse would be happy.

I bet you could find a way to improve upon perfection though.

Edited 2015-05-27 09:41 (UTC)

[ Well someone has to. The other Titans just made it look angsty. ]

Screw keeping people's attention. I figure if people are watching you you're either already doing something wrong or you're gonna.

Are you flirting with me, Green Jeans?

That depends.

[Slithering into her line of sight]

Would you like that? Because if not please don't turn me into a belt.

[ She smirks at him. ]

I haven't decided yet.

[ That's not a no... ]

[you wouldn't think it's possible for a snake to grin but somehow he manages it and resumes slithering circles around her neck and shoulders, along her arm, keeping the grip light but secure]

Well we never got much time to hang I back home. Things went sideways pretty quickly for the new Titans and the old ones. But I think we'd find a way to have fun.

If nothing else I think you might brothe only girl who's father would literally kill me, and that makes me laugh."

[ Keep it up, Gar. She might insist you stay as a snake forever. That or make you get her a real one. ]

Eddie and I managed. We went skinny dipping in the pool once. Well, I did. Eddie just kind of stared.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure daddy dearest would mount your head next to all his others. Nothing's good enough for his little girl.

[ She laughs. It's not really a joke though. ]

[either is an option at this point. Now for fun he's going to shift into a bigger snake and twirl around her midsection like a sash, going down her back to complete the circuit.]

Aw Eddie! That kid was a good dude. And frankly I can't blame him for starring. If his demon senses were as sharp as my animal senses? You could get downright addictive.

Wait, "was"? What happened to Eddie?

[ It looks like someone isn't quite up to date. That'll be a fun conversation. ]

[URK! Way to go BB. Talk about a mood killer]

Well...erm....

[hesitating then sighs and hangs his head]

I'm not gonna sugar coat it. I figure that's not what you'd want. He lost his powers, but ended up saving the team and the city. He went out a true hero.

[attempting to give a comforting hug as a snake is awkward so he'll hesitate to see what she wants.]

[ Moodkill? Try 15 megaton nuke to the mood's face. She grips him just behind his serpentine head, the other hand finding another part of his body to use her enhanced strength to peel him off her. ]

What exactly happened to Eddie, Beast Boy?

[ That tone? That is a very serious tone. ]

Ack!

[shifts back once she's bulled him off and he tries to find that slightly more mature part of him age is supposed to come with.]

There was this radioactive man. He was gonna go nuclear and the Titans were all busy fighting a prison riot. It was all some big scheme by the calculator.

Eddie too the radioactive guy into the team jet and flew as high into the sky as he could do save everyone.

[yep, so much for maturity. Tears are leaking out and he tries to wipe them away. As he does a paper flutters down with an update and he stares at it surprised.]

Oh...and then I guess in the new 52 he's Blue-Devil's God-son.

[ That tidbit about the New 52 goes unnoticed. Rose doesn't give a damn about the New 52, Garfield. As far as she's concerned that isn't the Eddie she knows, not her friend Eddie.

As it is there's a long pause before she kicks a nearby table as hard she can, sending it careening across the room to smash into splinters against a far wall. ]

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. No. Not Eddie.

[ That's it. Time for the tears. She curls her fingers into her hair, pulling hard at the roots in a bid to maintain her composure. ]

I should have been there. I should have protected him.

H-hey! You're not the only one who should have been there for him.

When it came down to the life of thousands of people or his own...he did what any one of us would have done. What needed to be done. I think Eddie knew more about being a hero then most of those so called adults.

[Rising to his feet giving her space in case she needs to smash more things]

And...while it's not a strictly heroic thing to bring up, we know who set the whole thing up. So if we can find Calculator...

[He doesn't want to say out loud that even he, the team clown has considered going the dark avenger path and ending the life of a manipulative criminal who only seems to hurt people.]
