dear_mun | idk what i'm doing but he's been floating around my head for ages

[It's probably safer if she doesn't comment on that, a tight smile all Rose manages in reply. Hey. He's not yelling. This is... progress.]

And you went with Jet Steele? Very secret agent of you.

[For what it's worth? She misses you too... She's just not sure you want to hear that.]

Though you could just go with Adrian. Your reputation does seem to precede you. [Beat.] Or.. however that saying goes.

(Sorry, sorry! I've been having connectivity issues all day. /shakes fist)

Dunno, little dhampir. I think there's a rule about never using your real name on the internet, or something.

[ not that he's not flattered - since he's taking that as a compliment whether it's meant as one or not, of course. ]

(All good!)

Oh. Well great! Why am I always the last to know these things? Mine's been throwing mine out there for over a year.

[Rose may or may not have issues with her Mun. Rose however tends to have issues with a lot of people so this is hardly a surprise. Still. She makes an effort to focus rather than throw poorly veiled digs at her writer.]

So... Do you know what they're planning to do with you? I mean I get it it's none of my business what you do I just don't want to see you end up somewhere bad.

I'm sure I could come up with a fitting alias for you, given enough time. [ sly smile ] Not exactly the only one here whose reputation precedes them.

[ well it is sort of your business, since you're dating him. he wrote up that proposal when you got back from russia, and everything! unless there's something you're not telling him - his mun is that way too, especially lately. ] I don't really pay too much attention to her. She keeps saying I've got 'emotional issues' to work through. There's something about the color yellow, too.

It's cool though, I keep telling her we've already worked everything out. Just point me in the direction of space! Or top-secret government missions or -- [ don't tell anyone cause it'll ruin his cred okay but ] it wouldn't be so bad to see you in person again, Rose.

Hey I - That's, entirely not the point! The Alias might not be so bad though... But please, something much cooler than Jet Steele.

[Well you did break up with her. Kind of. She thinks? It felt a lot like a break up. Not that she didn't deserve it.] The color yellow? [Mundane understands Rose, don't worry.] I always liked you in green personally.

[She notably doesn't argue with you about the issues because. Well. Pot, kettle.]

You have? [Hope flares.] Does that mean... You're not as mad at me about. Things. [That whole thing where she basically ignored you while she was running around after Dimitri. That thing.] I mean I get it if you are but you should know that, I'm sorry... And I would really like to see you. In person... Though I don't know if you really wanna come to me. It's a toss up between an underwater prison and an island with homicidal collars... Among other things.

[ smug smile ] I knew you'd come around to my charm, eventually.

We talked about this, Rose. I won't lie and say I'm at all happy about the ...situation that you've gotten into. [ gotten both of you into, since he's trying to be a supportive friend - more than anything else, probably ] You're stubborn, though. And persistent. [ and he really really really likes you ] If you'll really give me a shot this time - a fair shot - then I'm willing to forgive and forget.

Homicidal collars, huh? [ eyebrow raise ]

I will. I want to... And Dimitri and I. [Maybe one day she could say those words without it hurting.] He's the past. I was stupid to think him coming back wouldn't be confusing but that doesn't mean it changes anything.

[Of course, the reason for that lack of change had a lot more to do with where Dimitri stood on things but she was choosing not to focus on that.]

I know I'm hardly up for girlfriend of the year here but - [She tries for a crooked smile.] I want to make this work.

[Oh. God and then he had to ask about those.]

Really? You prefer that to the underwater prison scenario? [Grimacing.] Yeah they ya know. Tighten. Unless you do things to loosen them.

[Oh come on they've just agreed to try things again, he really doesn't want to hear about the homicidal collars.]

The island is nice?

idk what i'm doing but he's been floating around my head for ages

Hideously so! (I'm winging the canon point here so just let me know what you want to run with!)

you're good! i think i'm going w/after he confronts her about dimitri + commitment in book... 5?

Perfect! And slightly less hideous LOL

ikr i like a miserable/destructive adrian but i like his rapport with rose more so (open 2 ideas??)

(So gonna hit you up in PM so I don't get character limits LOL)

no subject

[Oh by confrontation - do you mean pre or post Church scene with Dimitri?]
