TDM #2
Welcome! Everything is fine.
Uploading. . . Complete!
The Lobby.
- When you open your eyes, there is quite a lot of beige to take in. The unassuming walls of the room you've found yourself in are barren save for a single motivational poster directly in your line of sight. An illuminated sign above an open door on the far wall reads 'lobby exit.'
"Welcome," chimes a polite, synthesized voice. "I'm happy you're here." A moment later comes the clarity of the situation: you died and so did the world you came from. "This is Amani, your new reality," continues The Peacekeeper. "Everything will be fine."
At least you aren't the only one here, you'll soon find out, as others who are just as confused and concerned as you are mingling in the main hub's first floor. Hopefully, you find a familiar face among the crowd. If not, that's all right. You'll get to know quite a few people very well soon enough.
- If you're one of the unlucky few whose death required a bit more intensive re-coding to maintain stability in the simulation, you'll instead awaken on a bed in the infirmary. Everything is strikingly white save for the occasional string of vines with lavender growing in bursts to help keep people calm. Whether or not it works seems to be on a case-by-case basis.
While there is no active medical staff, the voice of The Peacekeeper is there to explain the situation in a more delicate manner to these individuals. It's already stressful enough having to have gone through such a violent death, after all!
If characters want more questions answered, they'll need to speak to The Peacekeeper directly. But first, it will encourage socialization in the main hub and hopefully, you'll find someone you recognize to make taking things in a little easier.

IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE
Throughout the main hub where everyone congregates, a light chiming echoes through the first floor. "Hello, everyone," comes the synthetic voice from when you first arrived. "Based on feedback from current inhabitants, I was able to gather that the drinks at the bar were awful. Also, based on data so far it seems the desire for alcohol correlates to a person's stress levels! Hopefully, making better drinks might help everyone relax."
At the bar on the first floor, a bartender is now assigned to mix drinks rather than The Peacekeeper themselves. The lacquer countertops have been dusted off so that the screens just beneath the surface can be better seen. Soon as someone sits down, the screen will light up and display a menu of featured drinks.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of resources, each person is only allowed one. That isn't to say you can't share, swap, or find other means to get a taste of a different drink though! Each one even comes with a complimentary slice of cake if you'd like.
While The Peacekeeper knows people are likely hesitant after incidents caused by the cake, part of this special offer is that an order of one of the drinks will come with a credit equivalent to a one-stamp reward. And, if you're lucky, the effects of the drink will get you even more stamps! Everyone wins! Especially you!
The featured drinks are as follows and come in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties:
If you're feeling especially 'peaceful' after a piece of cake or two and worried about privacy, don't be! The bar's lounge has several secluded spots to hide away in. There are also rooms with beds on the first floor. So long as you don't mind the natural elements taking up some space along the sheets, they're free to use however you'd like. Though you might want to make sure to lock the door since it's doubtful you're the only one looking to get away for a little bit.
If the party and its cake don't appeal to you, that's perfectly fine. This is the perfect time to configure your Digitized Technical Friend or your DTF status. A DTF is similar to a dæmon from His Dark Materials in that it is connected to and a reflection of a character's soul. These DTFs take shape accordingly and are projections similar to the NPCs. Think of them as your own personal Clippy except less annoying. Hopefully.
Once that's set-up, there are other locations of the main hub to investigate! You can still find an (off-key) instrument to play in the music lounge or check out the (algae-ridden) pool.
You can even visit The Peacekeeper themselves on the second floor. They're always happy to have visitors! They're also conveniently where you might place a complaint about that status of the main hub and its amenities.

The featured drinks are as follows and come in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties:
- ★ Firecracker » This spicy, sweet, and flaming drink comes in two varieties: red or blue. Each one will cause a person to speak a truth although in different ways.
- • The drink with red flames will cause someone to say something risqué. Was that fantasy only supposed to stay a fantasy? Oops.
• The drink with blue flames, however, will bring out a sadder admission. Something will compel you to share an insecurity or anxiety that you wouldn't otherwise speak aloud. It might be for the best to get it off your chest! Or... it could make things really awkward. Hopefully, it's the former!
★ Hot Buttered Rum » Rather than warm you up, this drink will cause you to feel freezing cold. The only thing that will get you warm seems to be someone else's body heat. While one might not be bothered at first, the longer the cold settles in the more desperate you'll become to relieve it. You'd really like to be able to feel your fingers again. Time to cuddle up!
★ Mojito » This minty, refreshing drink will make your mouth tingle in all the best ways. In fact, you can't seem to curb the desire to want things to bite or suck on and it's strongest when around other people. All you can seem to desire is to taste their lips, scrape your teeth against their skin, or suck on their- Well, you know where we're going with this. The oral fixation will thankfully fade away after a while whether you indulge it or not.

WHAT'S YOUR DTF STATUS?
If the party and its cake don't appeal to you, that's perfectly fine. This is the perfect time to configure your Digitized Technical Friend or your DTF status. A DTF is similar to a dæmon from His Dark Materials in that it is connected to and a reflection of a character's soul. These DTFs take shape accordingly and are projections similar to the NPCs.

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
Once the celebration has concluded, characters are encouraged to head out of the main hub to either explore the city or take a ride on the railway. It's time to truly begin your new reality! Whatever they choose, The Peacekeeper will explain to them that they are free to take up any housing they so wish. Most dwellings are at least habitable but it's likely that characters will want for more before long.
Especially considering the adjustments made to the weather paradigm recently. The Peacekeeper has been informed that it was far too warm for some of the residents. As a result, the temperature has dropped to appropriately align with winter months and the hours of sunlight have now shortened as a result. While the snow currently isn't more than light dusting now and again, that may be subject to change. (At least those pesky flowers from the Love Bugs appear to be dormant for now as a small blessing.)
In order to apologize for the inconvenient and sudden shift in atmosphere, everyone will get a cute new winter accessory to help acclimate to the chillier conditions. Enjoy the cozy new addition to your wardrobe! Or whatever excuse for a wardrobe you're beginning to assemble.
Additionally, candles will spawn throughout the main hub, houses that are inhabited, and pathways that people have been tracked as walking along often. Isn't that romantic and totally not just a convenient way to encourage one of the kinks of the month! Why would you think that?
If you'd like more lighting or even cozier clothes, simulation inhabitants are reminded that 'peaceful interactions' are very important! It might be a good idea to stick close to someone you know, for now, since even the smallest amounts of intimacy might see subtle changes occurring where they're staying. Perhaps that broken window is now fixed, the grime and dust seem a little less, or the floor doesn't creak quite as loud.
Larger changes, however, will only come after demonstrating the more powerful peaceful interactions. If you want new hardwood floors or a fresh coat of paint on the walls, you're going to have to demonstrate how well you 'get along' with others against them first.

FLY AWAY HOME
After The Creators reconfigured the peace parameters and dropped a Giant Bird on everyone in the simulation, The Peacekeeper has tried to come up with its own solution to keep the beast preoccupied. Although still highly aggressive and dangerous, if it has different prey to chase it might not be as much of an issue between spawn periods.
It takes about one week before The Peacekeeper announces its newest creation to Amani: Bunnerflies! These adorable flying creatures are friendly and uplift the moods of anyone they happen to hop or float by. Yet, they are still supposed to be prey for a Giant Bird and it didn't seem fair to leave them completely defenseless. As many of the simulation inhabitants are beginning to find out, appearances can be deeply deceiving.
As a result, their fur may be soft but the edges of their wings are sharp as razor blades. Careful you don't get caught in the path of one fluttering your way.
They also breathe fire! Thankfully, The Peacekeeper has made simulation inhabitants immune to the flames. Sort of. The only type of heat one will feel is that of passion. Whether that means starting a new project or an intense make-out session, it's up to the individual and how they decide to channel it!

SEXY STAMP CARD
If you're wondering about these 'peaceful interactions' that keep being mentioned or what the kinks of the month are for... Here's your answer! Upon arrival, all characters will receive a digital copy of their very own sexy stamp card.
Completing peaceful interactions (i.e. kinks) will reward characters with stamps that they can turn in for re-gains and many other things! While the example one here is the standard issued card by The Peacekeeper, players are more than welcome to customize it how they see fit. Have fun with it!NOTES

★ The kinks of the month have changed! Be sure to check this post for what the new ones are. Also, give a congratulations to Niles (
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
★ The effects of the drinks can be as heavy or light as you'd like! It can be chalked up to differences in alcohol tolerance, non-humanity or not, etc. etc. Also, they can mixed-and-matched! Have fun with that.
★ Have fun with the winter accessories! Pick whatever goofy thing you'd like your character to wear.
★ The flora and fauna page has been updated to include Bunnerflies and the flowers from the Love Bug event. While dormant right now, Spring is just around the corner! There won't be as many as there were during the event but enough that people will be able to play around with them as they see fit in the future.
★ Any questions can be asked right here!

QUESTIONS/FEEDBACK
PEACEKEEPER CONTACT
Seteth | Fire Emblem: Three Houses | Post-Verdant Wind, Erku CRAU
[He remembers the end all too well. Shining green eyes, filled with a hatred and malice that she surely would never, could never muster up for anyone. A sweet, serene smile that didn't match her gaze at all. The way her body was rotting and twisted, unnatural. The way Abraxas had blazed at her command, more powerful than anyone should be capable of--he remembers being bathed in the Goddess' holy light as he pleaded with her, blinding and beautiful and merciless, burning him away until he's nothing but ash.
He's still reeling from being incinerated when he awakens, nauseated and weak and aching right down to his soul. Even the blossoming lavender can only do so much to help him clamp down on his rising panic by the time he receives his vision of Fodlan's destruction; Seteth might be found in the infirmary or the Peacekeeper's room, voice rising to something uncharacteristically shrill as he presses further.]
Where is she, then? Where is my daughter?!
It's 5 o'clock Somewhere:
[Whether he's dragged off by someone, or simply shooed away, Seteth is undeniably deflated and shaken by the time he finds his way out to the rest of the hub. The tiny DTF perched on his shoulder, clearly some sort of chimeric wyvern-squirrel, tugs on a lock of hair as they pass by the bar--or perhaps by you, if you've already chosen to partake?]
Would you like to stop for refreshments?
Refreshments? That's..... Alcohol and cake isn't a proper meal.
There is no charge for this service. Instead, this welcome offer comes with a gift of redeemable credit.
Does it not strike you as suspicious that we should need to be paid to convince us to eat?
Flying In A Winter Wonderland:
[The adorable flower-crowned deer knit hat he's been gifted isn't exactly the most dignified thing he's ever owned, but he's a practical man at heart. Given the chill in the air once he leaves the building, Seteth is wearing it, and has helped himself to one of the candles in the main hub as he goes. If this..... this simulation's snow is anything like the island's, he should be finding shelter immediately, while the weather is still clear.
Still, his hurry doesn't stop him from instinctively recoiling from a bunnerfly fluttering across his path, fumbling his candle for a moment as he startles. Sorry if he bumps into you!]
What in the world--?
Wildcard:
[You know the drill. Hit me with something different, or toss some plotting at me if you don't want to write it yourself.]
predictably, the alcoholic option.
Rosie. [ There's a small, muffled 'uh-huh' due to holding a screwdriver between her teeth as she continues to laser focus on this stupid key but doesn't look at the dog DTF just yet. It tilts its head before sitting down and beginning to wag its tail across the dusty floor. ] Seteth has been uploaded to the simulation.
[ There's a loud clang of piano keys in absolute disharmony as the screwdriver drops from her mouth and she sharply inhales. She's up and moving before she even thinks better of it, but has to ask: ] Does he remember?
Unfortunately, I cannot say.
[ Right. Okay. Well, she needs to know either way. And isn't that something on its own that she's willing to face the possibility of being a stranger to another familiar face? Hoo boy. Actually, you know what, she needs a drink before this. Never mind that she's already had her allotted one and filched, like, three others people didn't want- It's fine. Everything's fine.
It's actually not fine because she doesn't even get the stiff drink she absolutely needed before spotting him near the bar and freezing in place. She can do this. She can do this. Okay, like, maybe she could sneak back out and get a drink when he moves on to somewhere else and then find him aga-
No. Ugh.
There are a million things she thinks to say when she finally steps up to greet him but all that actually comes out is a quiet: ] Hey.

The reason she stops isn't because she's offended by the stranger bumping into her, or the bunnerfly. She's looking at Seteth, as if trying to figure something out about him.]
Hm?
[Well. Maybe that can be addressed another time. She looks at the bunnerfly as if flutters away, then shakes her head before looking at the man who bumped into her.]
You should not be out here. I will clear a path for you. Where are you going?

It's while he's taking a break and a drink of water from the flask he filled at a creek, because fuck anything the Peacekeeper tries to give them to drink, when someone bumps into him. He turns with a scowl, though its effect is diminished by the adorable hat he's wearing.]
Watch where you're going--...oh. Seteth!
[It's partially just natural relief and partially the mood pickup the passing bunnerfly gives him - though he's paid the little things no attention so far - but seeing Seteth puts an actual smile on Felix's face.]

5 o'clock somewhere
I know this place is a real doozy when you first wake up here. Simulations, so-called Peacekeepers, whatever that...weird creature you got on your shoulder is.
[ Claude's own DTF is nowhere visible at the moment, luckily for everyone, probably.
He sets the drink on the bar in front of Seteth and takes a drink of his own sangria. ]
You look like you could use this, though. For what it's worth, I don't think any of us really buy that whole end of the world story.

It seems now might be an opportunity to repay that debt in kind. ]
Seteth, [ he starts, taking up the space of the doorframe to the infirmary momentarily. ] Unfortunately, arguing with this machine will likely do no good. And it's not as though we can trust what it says besides.

Agh! Come back here!!
[ He holds out both of his arms as the dog hops back into them, wagging his little scaly tail. ]
Dragon squirrel! Dragon squirrel! I found a dragon squirrel!
Yes-- okay! Gosh ... [ He turns to face Seteth and sighs, wearing an embarrassed look. ] I'm so sorry about that! I didn't realise the extent of how... intelligent these creatures are. I think mine got pretty excited to see another half-dragon...

WILDCARD BITCHES
Not unlike the very first time they had met; Seteth was grabbed forcefully by the front of his clothes and put up against a wall.
His assailant was a young woman in her early twenties. Her coal dark hair was short cut and messy, two bands of celtic tattooes on her forearms and she was wearing very modern clothes, a messy first attempt of a stone dagger hanging from her waist. She had an arm across his chest to hold him against the wall but she made no other efforts to harm him before that, leaning in closely to look at his face speculatively.
"D'you recognise me, Seteth?" She asked.

Well, let us simply say that the world's end doesn't seem quite so bad when you're with friends.
However, she hasn't found the most important person yet, which is why she's wandering around in the light snowfall wearing the adorable Golden Deer hat she was given, keeping her eyes peeled for a familiar shade of green.
When she finally spots it, she immediately launches into a headlong run to catch up with him.]
Father!
[As soon as she's close enough, she flings her arms around him and squeezes tight.]
Oh, thank goodness I have found you!

Look start making me a mojito, and I'll tell you when to stop...[The bartender fills a glass with ice then-] and that's it. Perfect.
[Ice gotten, Niles accepts the dishrag from Zero with a murmur of thanks. He makes himself a small ice pack and puts it up to his nose gingerly. Zero perches on his shoulder as a lookout, but she's scanning for specific faces, not paying much attention to anyone she doesn't recognize.]

the thirst trap top level, as promised.
So, Dimitri takes it upon himself to help in a way he's able to. After the Giant Bird spawned, they'd done their best to make weapons until they could regain the ones from home. One such weapon was a stone axe that's now being put to a more practical use than battle: chopping wood.
In the early morning hours, one might hear the thwack and hack of axe against log. With his strength, Dimitri is able to cut most of the pieces cleanly with what seems like minimal effort. As the sun begins to rise though, so does the temperature. It isn't warm by any normal standards but, for Dimitri, born of Faerghus snow and ice? It's getting there.
Once he can't quite stand it anymore, the man is hoisting his shirt over his head and hanging it on a nearby tree branch for now. He sets back to work quickly enough - there's a lot of firewood that needs to go around - but will stop to greet anyone who approaches. ]
Ah, good morning! [ comes the enthusiastic greeting, axe brought up to rest on his shoulder as he pauses. ] If you need any wood, please, help yourself. I want to make sure there's plenty enough for all of us.
[ Just look at that smile from work well done.
(You're not looking at his smile. It's okay, I know. We all know.) ]
no subject
The sound of wood being chopped draws him outside, wrapping his overcoat around his shoulders a bit more tightly when he can see his breath in the early morning air. What a pain in the ass. The grass is wet with dew, and he leaves dark spots where he crosses, knocking it free. He rounds on the tree that Dimitri is standing under and... ]

Socializing is not her best skill. She struggles with most people, even of her own guard sometimes. It's even harder after what the Ruined King did to her.
Still, she dislikes seeing someone so sullen. Even if she's going to go about this that lacks much sensitivity.
So she approaches the young man, slamming her hand down on the table.]
You are upset. Tell me why.

Ashe Ubert | Fire Emblem Three Houses | Post Azure Moon route
[The last thing Ashe remembered was the sting of the sword in his side as he did his best to shoot one last arrow before he fell to the ground. His only regret he didn't get a chance to see the end of the war. He woke up in the infirmary with the smell of lavender around the room. Ashe quickly sat up and ran a hand through his hair. Where was he? How did he end up here? Ashe moved to get out of the bed when the world shifted under his feet. He sat back down with a groan as he placed a hand against his head. Alright, he's definitely not in Fodlan anymore or he would of heard Mercedes' voice over him, so where was he?]
Hello? Is anyone there?
[B. It's Five O' Clock Somewhere]
[Once he got everything settled and could walk around again Ashe decided to explore this new place. He placed his hands in his hoodie's pocket as he looked around. He looked over at the DTF that took shape of a cat that rested on his shoulder while he walked around. He walked by the bar when he felt a bump against his cheek. The cat suggested taking a stop by the bar. Ashe figured it wouldn't be bad to have something to drink and eat it's not like he had any of his duties anymore. He walked in, took a seat at the bar, then looked at the menu. He decided to try the Mojito first along with a piece of spice cake. He always enjoyed Mojito maybe having a mint drink would be just as delicious. His mouth started to tingle, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It would go away in time, though it didn't stop him from sucking on his fork a little longer after the frosting was gone. He was sure it would go away soon, right?]
[C. Walking In A Winter Wonderland]
[Now that Ashe became settled in his new place it was time to look for a place to live. Ashe walked over to the housing to find one that he hoped would be close to others that he know before he got to know the neighbors around him. He reached up to rub his DTF's head before he adjusted the cute cat scarf around his neck. The weather didn't bother him much, nothing could be colder than Faerghus, but he did enjoy the scarf. His house didn't look bad, though he could always use some renovations against the cold. Ashe walked along the path as he looked for others that could explain this new place to him.]
Hello? Is anyone here?
[D. Wildcard]
[If there's anything you'd like to do with Ashe hit me up on plurk at sunnycrow or Sunny#5819 on discord!]

[Shyvana's voice booms in the hallway, and she stomps out with flames licking up her body and sputtering out from her mouth. Fury is in her eyes, and she looks around frantically.]
How dare you snake yourself into my mind!
[She stops only when she hears the unfamiliar voice from Ashe, and she hesitantly makes her way over, fire still fluttering off of her.
This young man looks injured. She hopes she is not the one at fault.]
You there. Can you stand?

Ren Rages-Against-The-Odds / TTRPG OC / OTA
Ren had made her way to the bar on the promise of a decent fucking drink. She had been warned about the cake before but that wasn't going to stop her. After all, today was a special day. It was her twenty-second birthday. Or it would be if she was still alive? That was really a question for a philodox and not her.
She had a slice of vanilla cake in front of her and a hot buttered rum that she'd yet to touch. Neither item had moved from where it had been set in front her her as she stared into it with a melancholy sigh. It wasn't that she was ungrateful, it was just that... "Hey. I got a dumb question for you." She leant over to address the person closest to her. "D'you think birthdays still count if you're dead?"
[ooc: lmk if you want to deal with vanilla cake or hot buttered rum side-effects.]
You just want to lay down and cry
Was it a dumb idea to go skinny-dipping in Lake Deshire when the temperature was growing progressively freezing? Yes. But that had never scared Ren at the best of times.
Choosing the time of the day when the sun was highest - and therefore likely to be the warmest - she headed down, shedding her clothing at the end of the pier before jumping into the freezing water and breaking the surface again with a sharp gasp. If she spotted anyone coming towards her on the pier (perhaps confused why anyone would choose to swim in such cold water) she would call out to them; "Come in. It's warmer in the water than up here!". It was a lie. But they didn't need to know that. She would pull herself back up onto the pier a little while later, wrapping herself up in a sheet and watching the skyline with her toes still dipped in the water.
Choose your own adventure!
Happy Birthday
Point being, the man looks up and over at her, and then gives her question a moment of thought before responding: "I think that depends on if it means something to you. I have met questionably alive ...people who cared a fair amount and others who didn't at all."

Niles | Fire Emblem Fates/Warriors | OTA
New arrivals huh? And the Peacekeeper was rolling out the exact same drugged welcome mat, and had upped the anti with bar service. If Leo arrived here, Niles was determined to shield him from some kind of inebriated disaster. So, he goes to the Hub early. He'll need lots time to set up.
He brought with him several large cuts of venison, some wild onions and root vegetables, things he'd managed to scavenge from his hunting trips. It's quite a lot to carry, but he manages all right. His dtf Zero even helps out, scampering behind him dragging a small bag with her own supplies. She tells him when and where to turn to get to one of the bigger suites off the main hub. This wasn't just a room with a bed, no. This was suite 69. Not only did it have a king sized bed, but it was double the size of some of the more standard rooms closer to the bar. Part of that was dedicated to the super sized bathroom adjacent to the bed chamber. The bathroom had a huge tub and a luxurious spacious shower, but what Niles cared about was the attached kitchen.
Getting everything cleaned, chopped, seared and simmering takes him a while, but before too long he's got the beginnings of a respectable venison stew in the works. It takes hours to cook, and by the time it's finally done and a rich meaty smell is floating down the hallway, Niles has dragged a table into the hallway, draped it in sheets as a makeshift tablecloth and piled it high with bowls and spoons. The smell ought to carry far enough, but Niles wants to make sure the new arrivals know there's options. While he's been searching for cutlery, Zero has been making posters. Her handwriting is legible, but awkward, and little polecat footprints dot the margins. The message is simple:
VENISON STEW IN ROOM 69
Niles marks the path from his impromptu buffet and the main hub, then returns to his self appointed post as server and chef for anyone willing to follow the paw-painted signs.
no subject
[But when he sees Niles standing behind the scrumptious-smelling pot of stew, he stops frozen, staring blankly at him. His stomach growls audibly. Felix turns on his heel to leave without saying a word.]

Marianne Von Edmund | FE3H (VW Ending) Post-Skip
Her first instinct was to go very very still. Her sandaled feet were stuck fast to the floor as she couldn't make herself move. Her normally neat hair had been pulled out of it's updo and was left wild and confused around her shoulders. Her dancers attire wasn't the warmest and for a moment Marianne wished that she had the benefit of her cloak to keep her warm.
But it was the sound of others that were injured or suffering that brought her to startled attention and Marianne forced herself into action. "Please, let me help--" She rushed to their side, her hands glowing the magic of her faith. All other concerns needed to be put to the side once she could help the to the infirmary.
Fly Away Home
A little bluebird sat on Marianne's shoulder as she traversed the land, eventually chirping in the metallic tone that most DTFs had; Marianne! There are animals nearby you might wish to visit! I'll show you the way! It took to the sky, leading her to where the Bunnerflies were currently cavorting in the grass.
She sat down a short way away from them, allowing them to come to her rather than startle them, smiling gently when one took up residence in her lap. "Good afternoon, what's your name?" She would cheerfully ask with a small giggle. "You are very cute." She softly reached out to scratch behind their ears and before long another bunnerfly came to take up residence in her lap. And another. And another until Marianne was half-sprawled with not enough hands to pet all of these delightful creatures all by herself.
[ooc: Hit me up on plurk or discord if you want to plot something!]
fly away. (tl;dr, AM dimitri w/no recruits so. he killed A LOT OF PEOPLE)
He just doesn't realize yet that she will remember him as he was then but dying to a much grislier fate.
"Even here, they take to you." It's not a surprise. He can recall her talking to Dorte at the stables. Whenever her eyes weren't fixated to the ground, they were up to the skies to watch birds flit by through the monastery. He'd always found it very endearing and that hasn't changed. "Just do be careful, their wings are rather sharp."
He pauses for a moment trying to collect his own thoughts and giving her a moment to collect hers, no doubt, before following up with: "Hello, Marianne. I can't say I'm glad that you're here, considering the circumstances, but... You'll be in some familiar company, at least."

it's crisis o'clock for rose. (closed to flayn)
It's fine. Everything's fine. She's totally fine. Starting with tea seems like a good idea, if nothing else. Rose knows that much.
He'd given some time for just them to talk - an amazingly sweet, thoughtful gesture but one that also sent her anxiety climbing to new heights without him there to reassure her - and she wants things to go well. Really, Rose isn't sure what she's truly afraid of. She already knows she's not good enough for Flayn's dad; however, maybe his daughter realizing that would somehow make the knowledge worse. ]
So, nice to officially meet you, Flayn. [ she starts, setting the cup of tea down and taking a seat across from her at their dining room table. ] I figure there's probably a lot to learn about each other so, y'know, feel free to ask me anything.
no subject
So when Rose sits down, Flayn's smile is wide and her eyes sparkle. She doesn't know whether Seteth ever described her physically to Rose or not, but if he did, the reality of her appearance now wouldn't quite match. Her hair is cropped short in a curly, chin-length bob with lavender coloring the bottom edges, and it exposes her ears - particularly since it's held back by a red headband. The outfit and jewelry she's wearing are certainly less...old-fashioned and modest than what she wore at the monastery. (Pierced ears? Unimaginable!) She's even wearing a bit of light makeup and faint perfume, if Rose is paying attention, and her fingernails are painted gold.]
Ah, it is so wonderful to meet you as well, Rose! That is quite a beautiful name for quite a beautiful lady. I am so very glad that my father has finally allowed himself to fall in love once more.
[If there's sugar available, Flayn will put a generous amount of it in her tea before she sips it, either unaware or uncaring of any angst the L-word might cause.]
Hmm...why, there are so many things about which I could inquire, I scarcely know where to begin! Ah--when do you and Father plan to marry?
