second; but you don't realize it yourself

[So, since no one discouraged spamming the network, Rose is posting, again. This time, she's indoors, at a shiny new apartment.]

Sooo, hey. I figure, I'm new here, some of you are new here, some of you are old hats, whatever. We should break the ice! And by that I mean I'm super bored. So. I'm having a party! Matisse, Genessia City, Room 102. Best way to break in a new apartment, right? Right. I've got snacks, soda, movies, and most importantly, we're gonna have a bunch of rounds of Truth or Dare and stuff like that. Everyone's invited as long as you have your magic pendant-y thingy. Don't think too hard about that part, please. See you soon! I hope? Seriously, everyone should show up, please.

Action;

[Rose has, true to her word, gotten a big party setup going in her apartment. Soda, snacks, etc of various types are around, she's got a bunch of extra chairs, the apartment is clean, there's some movies playing in the background for noise, and now she's just waiting for people to arrive.

If you arrive very early, you might hear her muttering to herself:]

Was this a mistake after all, are people really going to come, it's going to suck if I bought all this and no one shows, but it's probably fine, people here are friendly, but maybe....

[... Yeah.]

Well, then...

[She clears her throat, and then, in her best imitation of Tim the Enchanter:]

WwwwwhHAT, is your name?

[summerbloom]

... Eh?

[ That's it? Well, a truth's a truth... ]

I'm Sophie Summerhelm! But you can just call me Sophie, if you like.

[polyheroic]

Nice to meet you, Sophie!

I pick truth, too.

[summerbloom]

– Oh!

[ Aah, now Sophie sees what they're doing. She giggles, and gives Rose a smile. ]

Then, you have to tell me what your name is!

[polyheroic]

Rose! It's short for something, but it's kind of a silly name, so just call me Rose.

[summerbloom]

Miss Rose... that's such a pretty name!

[ gettin gay right off the bat, huh sophie ]

Are any of your friends here too, Miss Rose? Or is it just you so far?

[polyheroic]

[oh my, sophie]

Oh, um.... Not yet. But it's probably going to change before too long! I can't imagine any of them not showing up... I'm surprised they aren't here yet, really.

[summerbloom]

If you're ever feeling lonely without them, you should definitely come and visit me and my friends! It's my way of saying thank you for throwing a party like this.

[polyheroic]

I think I'd like that... What are your friends like? They from your home, too?

[summerbloom]

That's right! We're usually part of a bigger group that travels together all around our country. But for now, it's just the four of us.

[ And it's not like she isn't happy about that – Sophie Loves Her Friends – but it's just a little sad that they aren't all together. ]

There's me, Alice, Miss Marie and Mister Aran!

[polyheroic]

[... yeah, she gets that. Rose is smart, and knows what it's like to be missing people here...]

I'm sure they'll show up soon.

[summerbloom]

Oh, almost definitely!

[ Sophie beams. ]

I'm certain they'll arrive any day now. In fact, they're likely to be chasing us down as we speak!
