rose: question your choices

[fluthlu]

[Filtered away from Kanaya; Written]

I'd never put much thought into the absurdity of finding out one's own future actions at home, particularly when they involve deeply personal matters. It has me wondering, however, about the consensus on the subject - if you had a choice in the matter, how strongly would you let such information dictate your thoughts and actions here? Particularly if they involved your relationship with another person?

Thank you for your time.

[And with that, Rose is venturing down to the kitchen, looking a bit like her dear twin brother, with a pair of sunglasses perched on her nose.

If you need her, she'll be in the kitchen trying to keep down a cup of coffee.]

That sounds really confusing. I mean... I guess I'd just do what felt right now, no matter what's supposed to happen in the future, but it's tricky.

Mavis

[fluthlu]

Tricky, indeed. After all, personal opinions are nearly impossible to keep entirely clean of interference.

Rose

[holyrabies]

Yeah, that's a good point...

Oh! Try just... Rolling with it! Whatever it ends up being... Or whatever happens. You know what I mean.

Mavis

[fluthlu]

[Rose had been hoping to collect objective, impersonal information, so she's a bit caught off guard when Mavis addresses her more directly.]

... Well, I suppose "rolling with it" would be one viable option.

Mavis

[holyrabies]

I hear it works pretty well!

Rose

[fluthlu]

Well, on the condition that without interference it ends in a pleasing outcome.

Rose

[holyrabies]

Or you can roll with the not pleasing outcome until it becomes pleasing.

Mavis

[fluthlu]

Ah, a truly admirable feat. However, would that not fall under the dark and dubious category of what one might call, "leading on" a person?

Rose

[holyrabies]

Oh, man, I didn't think of it like that.

Mavis

[fluthlu]

It's a bit of a conundrum, I'm afraid. However, thank you for your snippets of advice.

How have you been lately, Mavis?

Rose

[holyrabies]

I hope it works out, Rose. And you're welcome.

Pretty good, thanks!

Mavis

[fluthlu]

Are you feeling sufficiently settled-in?

Rose

[holyrabies]

You know something? I really am.

Rose

[cyan_maid]

Hm...I think I would want to try and not let it affect me, to be honest. We can't really change what will happen, can we?

I mean, it would bother anybody something awful! But nothing can be done.

Jane

[fluthlu]

A remarkably true statement, though more easily offered than received.

Thank you for your input, Jane.

Rose

[cyan_maid]

Very true.

You're welcome, Rose! I was more than happy to offer it.

Jane

[fluthlu]

[She smiles politely, and it's audible in her voice.]

How have you been lately, Jane?

Rose

[cyan_maid]

[You can always hear the grin in Jane's.]

I've been alright. Holding up as well as one can be. And you?

Jane

[fluthlu]

Much the same as you, I would say. I've been as positive as one can be while locked within a prison of a pocket universe.

Rose

[cyan_maid]

At least things should be calm for some time now, right?

Jane

[fluthlu]

Following that bit of excitement, I would hope so. Though December is traditionally a bit on the irritating side.

Rose

[cyan_maid]

Really? Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. What usually happens in December?

Jane

[fluthlu]

A particularly horrific event during which residents are made to kiss each other.

Rose

[cyan_maid]

People are MADE to kiss each other?!

Jane

[fluthlu]

Unfortunately. It's tragically unavoidable.
