[Video:]

[If all her other posts were far more serious in nature, this one is clearly not.]

[Rose holds up a stuffed animal unicorn.] I need a name for it. Not Uni, though I'm thinkin' it can be Attleton U's mascot if they don't already have one, yeah?

Action x2:

Investigating Vampire Deaths:

[You know how Everglade isn't safe for humans? Rose Tyler did not seem to get the memo. She's doing her best to snoop and investigate the nightclub "hate crime" and asking way too many questions of a blonde perky human where humans should not be. She also is talking up the other nightclubs and spreading word about unity and harmony between all peoples! BLECH!]

Exploring

[Even Rose can admit, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of point to trying to move out. WELL, MAYBE THERE IS. Things are more confused than ever, but maybe they'll sort out? Probably NOT by running away though, even if that's what she's good at. Still as she checks out jobs and office spaces that would be best to locate Torchwood in, she finds herself looking at apartments and the like too, almost out of habit.]

[She also gets a bit distracted playing with storefront puppies, and trying not to drool over bass guitars.]

[Might need to get one...]

[Rose just makes a face at him for that.] In before you call me a chav too. [EYEROLL.]

Scorpion in the underwear drawer would get a scream out of anyone. Go for tarantulas. It's funnier, and less lethal, and then you can keep an actual pet later, instead of going to jail for attempted murder.

Nah. I think just pointing out the obvious is enough. Besides, I'm Indian. Gives me the right to poke at the British.

Yeah but he'll find it cute. Maybe the hissing cockroaches. That could be fun.

What does being... Yeah, never mind.

[SHUDDERS AT THAT. And protectively huggles the puppy :|]

Glad I'm not your camp counselor.

Did he actually do anythin' ta ya, or are you always like this?

Edited 2017-08-15 04:43 (UTC)

Yeah. He won't let me escape that hellhole of a camp.

That and his entire world view is comprised of boundless and unfounded optimism. He needs to realize it's flawed and cry himself to sleep like everyone else. And until he does, I'm going to mess with him.

[Bends over and pats his head.]

And yet you're here now, yeah?

So you can get out when you want to.

[This kid is the epitome of why she hates kids.]

[He bats her hand away and tries to fix his messy hair. He had it just the way he liked it!]

Except he's hear and won't leave me alone. I had to leave a knitted doll of myself behind to distract him long enough to slip away.

[Cute.]

[And she chuckles at that.] That does sound annoying. Maybe he just wants you to enjoy yourself?

Yer parents aren't in Genessia, yeah? So maybe he's worried about you.

Please.

My parents wouldn't come here if given the choice. They sent me to Summer Camp. That's where all parents send their kids when they're sick of them. Why do you think we return the favor when they're seventy?

[THE WRYEST OF GRINS.]

Sadly, my Mum's a bit on the clingier side. She hates traveling, but I wouldn't put it past her to track me down universes away, just to yell at me again.

Sounds like your counselor likes you though. [Sticks her tongue out the side, gently teasing.] I can't begin to imagine why.

Well good for you.

Like I said, it's his boundless and unfounded optimism. He thinks I love Camp Campbell and all the activities. The guy's delusional.

[Nods. Nah she totally reads you, little man. She'd be right there with you, but with bats not cockroaches.]

Any chance you can get bats? Way harder to pin on you. But if you wanna make it clear it's your statement, stick with the cockroaches or scorpion. Just be careful with the scorpion, killing him won't end his upbeat attitude, just they'll make you visit him in the hospital and whatever, yeah? Way worse.

I'm Rose, by the way.

Never had to go to camp, but I did slip a mouse in my teacher's desk once. She was an elephant -- not lite'ally mind, -- but reacted like it.

Bats...in his closet. That's not a bad idea. Maybe I can get albino ones and feed them strawberries. Make them look like they're covered in blood. That should do it.

[Max smiles and nods. You have earned some of his respect, Rose. Bravo.]

I'm Max. So, how long have you been trapped in this place?

I love it. See if you can get it on camera too. Be a youtube-hero, or whatever they call it these days.

[Thumbs up.]

A month. You wouldn't think that'd be enough time for boyfriend drama, but his future wife is here too. And my ex's future wife. And a boyfriend's ex-future-current boyfriend??? It's a mess. To say the least. [Wry grin.] Never grow up. Or at least, avoid dating.

How about you, Max?

Maybe.

[The smirk on his face says yes though.]

Four days.

You stayin' anywhere? Or is the summer camp still here?

I stay where I want.

[Which is mostly in David's apartment, honestly. But he isn't saying that.]

If the summer camp is here, I'm not going. Screw that.

A very reasonable response. [Nod nod.] Although I think school might be starting when summer ends.

You going to university soon? [Because he's precocious as fuck and his parents want to send him away so it's that or boarding school.]

Why the hell would I want to go to school? And isn't university for like...adults? I'm fucking ten.

Still, I bet I know more than most people going to college these days.

Exactly my point. [Sticks her tongue out the side.] Knew a bloke who went to uni that young. 'Course then he got recruited to join a total prat, and spent the next eight years underground, but we can't all be winners, yeah?

I guess not.

I'll think about it. Maybe I can get David to buy me my books. Make him spend his money instead of mine.

You could. But I think they actually give you an allowance to go here. Investing in the future and all that.

Getting paid to go to school?

...Hell yeah. I like that idea.

[Laughs, and pets a puppy! :3] Thought you might.

My friend, sort of a future ex-boyfriend, long story, is gonna teach physics at Uni. Figured you could give him hell. He's the one who called you a little shite. [GIANT GRIN.]

So in case you ever want a partner in crime, count me in, Max, yeah?

[He blinks. Taunt the old man? Oh yeah. That does sound like fun. A grin spreads across Max's face.]

Oh I might take you up on that.

Warnin' you now though, you'll have to be clever. He's wily.
