I had every intention to make my network debut far sooner than this; however, Vatheon seemed to have other plans for me.
For those of you that have not met me before, my name is Rose.
I've been informed that I've been here in the past, but I have no recollection of such an event.
Please excuse me if I do not recognize you.
For those of you that I saw when I first arrived several weeks ago, thank you for not admonishing me and my rather abysmal choices.
I would be hard pressed to say that I have fully recovered from the events of that day, but I am working on it.
Then there was the whole curse business that occurred just as I was settling in to a routine here.
The effects of which were quite disorientating once things returned to "normal."
I can only assume that it has affected many of you in a similar way.
If you need anyone to talk to about those events or anything else that might be bothering you, I am all ears.

I'm glad to see you've gotten settled alright.

[He is, too. He'd spared a thought or two her way since they'd parted, wondering if she'd recovered or crawled back in the bottle, not that he's going to mention that part.]

[cephalopodcounselor]

[She's not completely given up the bottle, but she's working on it. Not that she's going to mention that either.]

At least as well as anyone might when thrown into these sorts of situations.
Thank you again for all that information. It has been a great help to me.

I'm glad I could be of service. I find, being in similar circumstances here, that helping each other is the best route.

:33 < roooose!!
:33 < hi :33

[cephalopodcounselor]

Hello, Nepeta.
It's nice to see you again.

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < its nice to s33 you too!
:33 < well, to text you, to be purrsice X33

[heartandsoul]

Ah.

That's funny, John just mentioned you the other day. Probably because I was talking about books.

Hi, I'm Maka. I was expecting that you wouldn't come back with your memories, but I knew you the last time you were here.

[cephalopodcounselor]

I'm not surprised he did. He knows how much I like to read, and from the sounds of it you do as well?
What sort of books were you discussing?
I would be amenable to rekindling whatever sort of relationship we might have had.
If I liked you in the past I see no reason why I wouldn't at this juncture.

[heartandsoul]

I do like to read!

He asked what my favorite book was. It's "The Dark Side of the Moon" by the way, I described it as a story about a man's struggles against his various insanities and trying to balance them. He said you might like it, so I figured I could try to find a copy for whenever you got back and...here you are!

I would like that. Being friends again, I mean. I shouldn't be saying this at all, but I did miss you a lot.

[spacecase]

hello, purple text!
its sure a sight for sore eyes :)
hi, rose!
have you been settling in all right? did you find a place to stay yet?
you have some stuff from the last time you were here, i kept it for you!
i will need to come over and give it back...
also the christmas present i got for you too, hehehe

[Which happens to be a Cthulu push that Jade alchemized herself.]

[cephalopodcounselor]

Hello, Jade.
Yes, I have settled in quite nicely in the same apartment building as Bro and Davesprite.
A couple doors down to be exact.
If you'd like to drop by with them now, that would be fine.

[She'll love that.]

[spacecase]

i can totally do that!
as a matter of fact--

[Luckily she's not RUDE ENOUGH to just zap directly into an apartment, even if she knows where it is, so a few seconds later Rose will hear a knock at her door.]

Rooooose!

[Let the doge in??]

[pranksterheir]

hey, rose!
yeah, the last curse was really weird.

[cephalopodcounselor]

Hello, John.
I don't think I saw you during the curse, but then I suppose neither of us were likely to be seeking each other out in that alternate universe the entire city seemed to be occupying.
How have you been?

[pranksterheir]

everyone was acting pretty crazy, i was lying low.
i am doing good!

[He misses his best bro but that probably goes without saying.]

If we need anyone to talk to.
Brazen offer there, Lalonde.
As a complete and utter noob, one would assume you would need someone to talk to, not the other way around.

[text]

[cephalopodcounselor]

I'm doing quite fine, thank you.
Between what I have been informed of since my arrival and my experiences this past few weeks, I think I am well settled into this city.

Re: [text]

[shippingmath]

Congratulations on the impudent assumption of what I meant.
From the lovely coherency you're displaying I assume no one has to become the resident antichrist and perform a trick of turning wine into water.

[not really here]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[It's good to see that Rose is doing better, but she can't quite bring herself to reply to the public message. she said she'd contact Kanaya when she was ready, and Kan's not going to jump the gun on that, as much as she'd like to.]

I'm afraid I'm feeling the same way as well.

There are certain things that...I don't wish to remember. However, the important thing is that it's over and...everything is just going back to normal...

[text]

[cephalopodcounselor]

Were these things related to your alignment or to your supposed past?
I'm not asking you to describe them in detail, I'm simply curious what sort of effect it may have had on you.

[text]

[shirleyhopeful]

I think it's a little bit of both.

Let's just say that if some things were a little different in my world, I would have ended up in a different place.

And...I'm glad that I didn't turn out that way.

[crackpotcrocker]

Now, why would anyone tell a perfect stranger what might be bothering them?

What are you? A therapist?!

[cephalopodcounselor]

Because talking to a stranger can oft times be easier to do than unloading your feelings on someone they know.
A stranger they might never see again, nor have to worry about anything tey divulged coming back to bit them in their ass during the course of the conversation as it might with someone close to them.
Yes.

sorry for the late was on hiatus

[crackpotcrocker]

Bah!

I don't want to unload my feelings into anyone!.. Especially a therapist.
