Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Lady Amalthea - Yeah, to be honest, I do feel like my character is being a little attacked here... I'm sorry you don't like her that much?... but again, you must've misunderstood my wording. "Of course, Rose understood it was more than that..." She heard Tas just fine, actually. You have to understand where Rose stands in the sense that her father died, her mother couldn't give two fucking shits about her, none of her family gave a damn, she's never really had friends, or lovers, or anyone to really be there in her life. So... no, she can't relate that well. If her mother died, she'd be sad, but she'd almost kind of move on with life... after all, her mother didn't really love her at all.

Lastly, to Rose, yes... just saying thank you and go on about something completely different and hardly acknowledging her afterwards is mostly ignoring - to her. It's because most people DO ignore her and abandon her and reject her. So of course she translates this past experience to new people, like we all do. I really am sorry if you don't like Rose...

@Lady Amalthea I may have worded it incorrectly? I'm pretty sure I didn't...

Nope, I didn't! I said mostly ignored, not blew her off completely. I mean, it's how she feels anyways. It was a quick smile, thank you, and off about other things... you'll have to forgive Rose. She has a dim view of people when it comes to feeling important or worth-wild.

It seemed like a bit of a whirlwind, especially as Claire starting ranting about forgetting her friend's birthday, to which she could only furrow her brows at for a few moments. 'She's upset at not being wished happy birthday? ... I haven't been wished happy birthday, let alone given a present in nearly ten years. Do I have permission to throw a fit too?' Of course, Rose understood it was more than that, but it seemed kind of small, though it was be more accurate that Melrose had lived a life mostly void of any sort of care and had simply gotten used to it - as sad as it sounded.

Then Cass addressed her - or at least that's what she said her name was. She had to admit, she was absolutely loving her choice of outfit. Right now Rose was wearing something very causal in her terms, but normally rocked the punk style - which Cass' own outfit reminded her of. The accent was definitely interesting too, causing her to give the woman a small smile. Still, she barely had time to say, "no worries. I understand." Then the woman was off talking and focusing on Claire again, who seemed to have mostly ignored Rose, but again - it was something she was mostly used to by this point in her life. It didn't help she was quiet and an introvert.

Before she knew it though, another girl was just inviting herself to sit down and placing herself right next to Rose. She was pretty cute, like Cass, but more in a princess-y way. There was mention of kitties though! "Kitty?" she asked, instantly drawing her attention. That was really all she was able to say though before Belle cast a hurricane of words. 'Fuck...' she thought quietly, 'will I ever get to talk?' It was both an amusing and slightly irritating thought as the woman went on about Mcdonalds (which Melrose loved) and then ranted on about her cat and how this trip to Disneyland had to be perfect by it's very nature. In that sense, Rose was right - she did act very much like a princess. Kind of a shame she figured, since she enjoyed being called princess herself sometimes... well, at least from potential girlfriends. Regardless, she slowly got up and made her way to her bag which had been left in the middle of floor and looked, silently, in Belle's direction.

Nice post. I'll probably get to one within, oh... 6 hours? ^.^ I know a few people interacted with Rose and don't want anyone hanging! ^.^

@Charnobylisk Oh snap, Belle might might have some competition? =P In either case, Cass seems sweet. ^^'

She had gone wide-eyed at the exchange as it got louder and louder. The two women who had entered the Might Bean before her went from harsh whispers to basically yelling at each other. She shuffled slightly away for a moment, but watched the exchange regardless - neither of them seemed to notice. It was apparently over the fact that Tas - also known as Natasha - had disappeared for two weeks and now looked like she had spent binge-drinking the entire time. On the other hand, Claire, just didn't want to let it go even though Tas clearly felt less talkative. Before everyone knew it, a bombshell was dropped and Tas hissed that her father had died before slamming her fist against the other woman's jaw. The reaction made Rose flinch back a little and furrow her brows for a moment.

Then it was over. Tas was huffing herself out of the cafe and Claire was on the ground. Melrose had figured Claire could take care of herself, being as pushy and unrelenting as she was, but at the same time could not relate to how your father dying provoked such a strong reaction. Obviously there must of been history.. but that was something Rose was unfamiliar with.. all she knew about family was loneliness and pain, so if her mother had died, she doubt she'd be so upset as to punch someone. Then again, she realized very few people could relate to her in return - how often did someone grow up in the world without a single soul to lean on? At the very least, you had a sister, a cousin, or a best friend.

Though she was slightly irritated when Cass came rolling in, judging everyone for standing around. 'Ugh,' she mentally sighed. She did hate that - everyone always thought best, didn't they? For Rose, she figured Claire would want to be independent, but instead she faced judgement from someone who didn't even know her. Rose huffed quietly and wandered over to the counter quickly, getting a small glass with ice in it - after all, cafes didn't really have bags. Walking over to the pair, she offered the frozen water to Cass and said, "here." Yes she might've been annoyed by the judging tone of her apparent companion, but at the end of the day, Rose just enjoyed being nice. Then with a glance upwards, she spotted one of her room-mates - Kip. There was no way she could pronounce his actual name.

@Charnobylisk - Thanks, I appreciate it. ^.^ I might hit you up, but it might not be until tomorrow... 'cause things I'm worried about might not be anything at all... ^^"

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

Also sorry I'm not as talkative today as I normally am... just stressed and (slightly) panicked about some things happening in real life. I really am excited about this though. <3

@Lady Amalthea - I put mine as all neutral, since she doesn't even see anyone as an acquaintance just yet. =P
