Rose looked at Mr. Taylor as he walked off, not having processed anything that he had said about Enya's bear. He... he tried to kidnap me, the young woman thought numbly to herself. Finding her voice again, she knelt to Enya and Ellaria. "Girls, could you please go with the others? I'll join with you again shortly, I... I need some time alone." Not bothering to check if either girl had listened to her, she walked off in the opposite direction, circumnavigating the greenhouse and keeping a wary eye out. She didn't want to come in contact with anyone while she tried to sort herself out. Carefully climbing into a tree, Rose thought about everything and realized how much sense it made. The last thing she could remember before falling unconscious was hiding in an alcove and trying to stop her shoulder from bleeding out. When she woke up, she was a ways away from her jacket, and Mr. Taylor's body was on the ground next to her. "He must have taken me from the girls when I was unconscious!" she exclaimed angrily. That would explain why Ellaria was so worried about her when she woke up. As for how Mr. Taylor became unconscious... "Annie," the woman muttered. Annie had said that she broke the elderly man's hand in order to knock him out, but she hadn't said why. The only mystery left was why her left arm had ached so badly when she first woke up again. Tears fell from her eyes. "Why," she whispered. In the deepest part of her mind, Rose knew that Mr. Taylor wasn't really at fault; it was his younger self. "Why only me? What semblance do I bear to his past? If he was willing to kidnap me for it as his younger self, why can't he explain it to me now?" she sobbed brokenly, unable to comprehend her luck. For the first time since she had left her family, the young woman had felt accepted and almost loved by her companions. To her, this act shattered all the trust she had built in the others. "Couldn't someone have told me?" she murmured, wishing that she had known long before this, so that she wouldn't have been so blind-sided by this news and looked like a fool. Climbing down slowly from her perch, Rose realized that Annie had never given her the spear she had borrowed back. "Of course," she muttered agitatedly. "What else did I expect?" Snagging a branch, Rose quickly took out her sarong and made a new spear appear, cutting her arms in the process. The woman had come to realize that cuts were her payment for fashioning weapons, so she bit back a pained groan. Despite her promise to Ellaria and Enya, she didn't want to rejoin them any time soon; the girl realized that she needed to cool off lest she say something she might regret. Wiping her tears away, Rose then began to make some changes so that she couldn't be recognized as easily should she run into the others. Taking out a glasses case, she shoved hers in and quickly put in some blue colored contacts to hide her green eyes. Then, taking a black and blue bandana off of her bandana chain, she hid half of her hair in it and left the other half out. Finally, she stowed her jacket and took the bandages off her shoulder, confident that no one would be able to recognize her... Except maybe Enya and Ace, that is. "Ok, I'm ready," she spoke aloud. Feeling slightly insane for talking aloud, yet not caring at the same time, she began to prowl the edge of the greenhouse, trying to figure out why she would be the object of a kidnapping and what part her double played in Mr. Taylor's life. As she left, she began to hum.

Murder

*pets* Where's Dobby?

Banned for having tasted yourself

Looking at Mr. Taylor, Rose noted he wouldn't make eye contact with her. "Mr. Taylor, are you ok? You've been acting a little strange since you've woken up... But the bear doesn't seem to be harmful-- As far as I can tell it talks to the girl and tells her things that she wouldn't normally know otherwise. She kind of does what it says..." she trailed off, unwilling to say more about the mystery that was Ace.

Rose ran to Mr. Taylor and gave him a hug. "Oh thank you for bringing her, Mr. Taylor!" she exclaimed. "I'm so careless, I should have brought Enya as well, but I wanted to make sure that Ellaria was ok."

Rose watched as Ethic and his companion Lucian made their way across-- or at least Ethic did. Lucian seemed to teleport over. Kenny was still dead, so she called to those that could come across. "Mr. Taylor, Enya! Hurry across!" Fear gripped her as she realized Enya may not be able to make it across on her own.

Lucid

*looks at Strat* ...Meh

London. Dunno why. What's your biggest dream in life?

Please record your message after the beep. PWB?

Hi Vinny. Long time no see. Tempest?

"Incoming!" Rose hollered, letting go of the rope and crashing rather ungracefully next to Ellaria. Seeing the girl next to her, she quickly got up and checked her over. "I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. "If you had known you might have struggled, and it wouldn't have worked." Giving the girl a quick hug, she murmured, "I'm glad you're ok. Have fun?"

I feel like an awful person for doing that to Ellaria...

"Alright then," Rose smiled. Annie had gone ahead, so now it was her turn to go with Ellaria. "I need you to be very brave, and let us know when you land. I'll be right behind you." Positioning the girl right before where she would jump to begin the swing, Rose caught the rope and stepped back. "Ellaria, try to think like a cat-- try to land on your feet," she offered as a final piece of advice before looping the rope around her hand securely. Running for a start, she snatched Ellaria by the waist and leapt into the air. At the apex of her swing, she let go of the girl, allowing her to continue on to the other side. Coming back to land on the side with everyone who hadn't swing, Rose immediately took off running again, determined to not leave Ellaria on the other side alone after what had to be the biggest shock to her senses she'd ever had.
