--inity to Chuck Bass? None of my friends will ever understand. I'm ready for my punishment. Whatever you and god think is fair, whether it's flogging, fasting, putting that thing with the teeth around my thigh, like Silas?How about some food for thought instead? Don't drink. Keep your clothes on. Try avoiding those who might cause you to stray

Blair? Is everything all right?

...That's a silly question to ask, isn't it?

[miss_waldorf]

Yes, everything's alright.

Aren't you one of those juniors who's head-over-heels for Nate?

[primrosella]

Pardon? No, I'm afraid I'm not. You don't remember me? This again...

I'm not from the Upper East Side at all, actually. But I'm a friend of yours we've met before, once or twice.

[miss_waldorf]

Enlighten me.

Lulz watch her technically tell the truth...with a few important details left out

[primrosella]

Oh, well, I've attended a few of your social events before, you see, and they were all absolutely stunning. I was always terribly impressed by them.

loool

[miss_waldorf]

Aww, how sweet. But how did you get a hand on the invites?

[primrosella]

You generously extended them to me. I gladly accepted.

...But I can go into all that more extensively in a bit. First things first and all that. Where are you at the moment? And is someone coming to get you?

[miss_waldorf]

I did? Or was it one of my minions?

I don't know where I am, and no, no one's coming for me. But I can take care of myself. Where's the nearest Ritz-Carlton?

[primrosella]

You did. It was your party, after all.

And, er, I've never heard of a Ritz-Carlton around here, so I'm afraid you won't have much luck with finding one. But I can do my best to explain where you are and what's happened, if you'd like.

[miss_waldorf]

Huh.

Go on.

[primrosella]

Well, I'm sure you've noticed by now that you're in a City, and equally that it's not your Upper East Side. I've never heard a name for it other than The City, and that's what we all call it, so that's what it is. As for where it is...it's hard to say exactly, but I can tell you with certainty that it's nowhere near home.

People are brought here from all over, just like you've been. One minute you're at home in the middle of something, and the next, you're here. But when you do go back again, you'll go back right to the moment you left, as though you'd never been one at all, so there's no need to worry about being missed while you're here. Not that you wouldn't be missed, of course! Just that, well, no one will have the chance to notice you were gone, since time won't move while you're here.

I know it sounds terribly strange, but then again, so is tumbling into the middle of a City with no warning whatsoever, isn't it?

[miss_waldorf]

I guess your second point could be the good news...

I've read it in the guide Chuck Bass gave me, but I don't believe it --Well, I do, sort of. The way you believe things when you know you're just dreaming.

So what you've been trying to say is that I've been here before, right?

[primrosella]

Yes, you have. And for quite some time, too, which is how we got to know each other and become friends. But it's understandable if you don't remember it; that happens sometimes, that people leave and then come back without recalling the time they'd spent here. But that does explain why so many people seem to know you. I imagine you've had quite a few of them asking after you, since you always were quite popular here.

But speaking of things that may be difficult to believe, it's about time I introduced myself, I think. My name is Rosella--Princess Rosella of Daventry.

[miss_waldorf]

It explains why Chuck is two years older than me, too.

--hi. --I mean, nice to meet you, Your Highness.

[primrosella]

Yes, I'm afraid so. Are you...eighteen, then? Seventeen?

Just Rosella is fine--I don't much use my title around here, anyway. There doesn't seem to be much point in it, with things being the way they are. And in any case, what matters most right now is seeing that you have everything you need for the moment, not worrying about formalities.

[miss_waldorf]

I should turn seventeen tomorrow... But it's not even November here.

For now, I'll be staying with Dorian Gray.
