I can't decide which is dumber - this name you've picked for me, or you.

[DON'T LAUGH, ROSE, DON'T DO IT]

Pfft! It is a toss-up, isn't it? Though personally, I gotta say your name wins.

[umbrelly]

Well personally, I don't think I asked for your opinion.

[shivmeabreak]

Then consider this a special, exclusive, friends-only free consultation. Lucky you!

[umbrelly]

[ wow, luckiest seraph ever ]

Even if it's free, I still can return it - can't I?

[ UMBRELLA TWIRL ]

[shivmeabreak]

[Talk about a low blow, sheesh!]

Nope, no refunds. Especially not for ungrateful shrimps without receipts.

[umbrelly]

You're using your analogy on the wrong seraph, you know.

[shivmeabreak]

Mikleo may be one in age, but it counts for your stature.

[She's already eyeing that umbrella warily. Just try it, missy.]

[umbrelly]

[ umbrella ~twirl ]

Yes, attacking me for my height must make you feel very big now, doesn't it.

[shivmeabreak]

I'll take what jabs I can get when dealing with someone who has hundreds of years more experience.

[She really shouldn't, but--]

Or is it thousands?

[umbrelly]

And yet which one of us looks like it?

[shivmeabreak]

[Can she get some fries with her foot.]

...too late to say neither of us, I bet?

[umbrelly]

[ she did walk into it :3 ]

I can tell you 'no', but then I'll be lying.

[shivmeabreak]

[...Lailah would be proud.]

Right. So. How about a do-over? From the top?

[umbrelly]

[ effects of spending too much time with the fire seraph agdgjhj DON'T TELL ]

Which part? The part where you think my username is dumb?

[shivmeabreak]

[IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYONE until they experience it firsthand]

Right! I'll go first.

Geez, Edna, you've sure got one ass of a player! Sorry to hear about that!

Better, yeah?

[umbrelly]

[ she'll hold rose to that promise OH GOD ]

...on second thought, talking to you makes me realize my player and I have much in common.

[shivmeabreak]

[No doubt about that hahaha...]

...glad to be of service?

[Despite the fact that feels like an insult. Or maybe she's just paranoid.]

[umbrelly]

[ def. paranoid, yes. ]

Aren't you going to ask why that is?

[shivmeabreak]

Honestly? Not sure I want to know.

[SHE KNOWS HOW YOU ROLL, EDNA. Roll right over any unsuspecting fool, friends included.]

[But this is Rose we're talking about. Curiosity is practically her middle name.]

Okay, what the hell-- Why?

[umbrelly]

[ you and your paranoia, ~rose ]

We're both small, dainty, delicate ladies who sometimes have to bear the attention of weirdos.

[ the 'such as you' remains unsaid. tactfully. ]

[shivmeabreak]

[She prefers to think of it as healthy skepticism. Though as far as insults go, that's pretty tame.]

I think in this case it's more of 'birds of feather' type of deal. Just look at the rest of our group.

[Does she really need to say anymore?]

[umbrelly]

[ kinda is, yes :3 ]

And speaking of morons, have you heard from any of them?

[shivmeabreak]

[Knew you loved her, Edna! :'D]

Actually, I have! Found Sorey, Mikleo, Dezel, and yourself at a place called Verens. It's been... interesting, to say the least. Even Lailah and Princess Alisha were there for a little while.

[umbrelly]

[ deep, deep down, way down, mount everest down, sure. ]

Verens? I'm not familiar with that place.

[shivmeabreak]

[Close enough!]

It's one of those games players are so keen on throwing us in. Though Verens is just the city- Empatheias is the world itself.

How about you? Looking to go anywhere or you just hanging around for now?

[umbrelly]

Just hanging about, for now. My player's saying something about not even reaching half of the story yet, but I didn't care enough to listen.

[shivmeabreak]

Haha... Yeeeah, it can take a while. Mine kept putting the game down for months after repeatedly falling asleep while we ran around Glenwood.

[umbrelly]

We have been doing an awful lot of running around, lately.

But are you really sure that that's the reason yours kept putting the game down?

[shivmeabreak]

Other than the fact she's a complete slacker and a wimp who gets all teary-eyed at the drop of a hat? ...er, yeah, pretty sure.

Got any other reasons in mind? She could use another excuse or two.

[umbrelly]

I'm tempted to blame it on you, seeing as you're... you.

But I guess your player saw something in you, didn't she? Why else would she bother?

[shivmeabreak]

[Good lords, Edna, you are vicious tonight, aren't you??]

Hey! I'll have you know that I'm the whole reason she started to enjoy the battles! Well, Dezel too, but we joined up at the same time so whatever.

And she sure saw more in me than she did in you! Gave you all of three comments before calling it quits!

[umbrelly]

[ hdu she's a delicate, innocent lady

...THOSE THREE COMMENTS BETTER BE POSITIVE ONES, THO ]

I wouldn't blame her. The path to greatness has always been a rocky one.

[shivmeabreak]

[Innocent my ass--]

[BUT THEY WERE... actually, they were trolling a Rose as well. Hmm. THIS IS THEIR FATE, ISN'T IT?]

....is that a pun?

[umbrelly]

[ the answer is too quick, too fast, too furious: ]

No. Of course not. Don't be stupid.

[shivmeabreak]

[That would be a yes, no doubt. But! Rose is a good friend! She can keep her trap shut. ...most of the time.]

Ah, right, right. 'course not. Our stoic mountain princess would never stoop to that level.

[umbrelly]

[ THIS FACE RIGHT AT YOU, ROSE ]
