I am vindicated; I am selfish, I am wrong
[WHO] rosey_maiden, Open to all
[WHERE] On the street outside of De Capo's.
[ABOUT] Rose returns! Although she's not quite the Rose people remember. (It's a bit tl;dr, sorry!)
[WARNINGS] TBA.
---
The train that mysteriously arrives at Timpani station has dropped off yet another poor unsuspecting person to the city known as Elegy. However, the individual sitting near where the platform used to be isn't actually new. To people that knew Rose before her disappearance, it may not be obvious right away that this is the same person.
The girl's hair looks almost dark brunette but has spots of gold sticking through. Upon closer inspection, it is not the coloring of the hair that is dark but the grime and dirt in the short tresses making it seem that way. The matted locks of hair are covering the woman's entire face since she's been looking down since the second she arrived. It's not only Rose's hair that looks awful though. She's barefoot and wearing nothing but a beige dress that's tattered and torn beyond reason and looks as if it could fall off at any moment. It appears that, once upon a time, someone tried to stitch it back together but gave up entirely after only a few patches. The gown strikingly resembles something that a peasant would wear... or a prisoner.
Not only how bad she looks is diverting people away from her, it seems. The poor girl reeks of dry blood and rotting flesh. Only those with a sensitive nose might smell it potently but even those without would definitely notice the odor. Oddly enough though, she doesn't seem to notice the stench herself or just doesn't care.
With what looks like much effort, the female stands up and begins to walk at a turtle's pace from the used-to-be train station. She keeps her head down but anyone walking by or close enough may now notice she's muttering to herself. Most steer clear, probably thinking that she's just another crazy homeless person walking the streets. "El-e-gy," she sounds out slowly, like a child learning how to talk. Her voice is hoarse and raspy as if it'd been a while since she's spoken at all.
As she walks along, she continues to sound out the names of the buildings and places like she's slowly remembering being here before. So distracted by it all, she fails to notice a pothole in the road outside of De Capo's and trips. She falls on her side, but immediately rolls onto her back to face the sky. Instead of getting up though, the girl... just lays there like she doesn't have the energy to get back up. Looking at her disheveled state, it's probably likely she honestly doesn't.
Her hair slides across her face and to the sides of it as she continues to stare up at seemingly nothing. She continues to speak aloud, quietly, but now it's names. Names like George, Jim, Iceland, Lavi, Esther, and a couple not recognizable like Michael, Misto, Reyson, Feldspar, and Elissa. It is now more likely that someone who knew Rose may recognize the woman babbling incoherently on the asphalt is her. That signature white eye-patch covering her right eye is visible without all that hair in the way.
