It's raining, it's pouring. )
She pulled the hood of her shirt over her head, though the thin fabric wasn't really helping. Maybe it wasn't worth it to go looking for more metal; she was starting to get cold, and this distinct lack of one warming appendage was kind of getting to her.

That unmistakable combination of necessary eyewear and...wait a second, that wasn't right at all.
Dammit, Sharper Image had screwed her again. Well, now she was glad that they'd gotten blown up by meteors.
She heard footsteps, and ducked around a corner. She focused on the wall in front of her, quickly spying through it. To her surprise, it was Jade. To her absolute shock, she seemed to be missing an arm. She stopped with the Sight and just peeked around the corner to make sure she was seeing what she was actually seeing and... ...yup. Only one arm.
She flattened herself back against the wall. A few thoughts ran through her head - what the hell had caused that, why was Jade here, and no, seriously, why the hell did she only have one arm.
As she debated the merits of just coming out and asking Jade to her face, she was no doubt drawing closer to the corner she was hiding up against at the moment.

Jade had definitely heard someone there; she almost thought that she had spied someone looking around the corner, a flash of pale hair...was someone hiding from her? She rounded the corner and--
what the hell had happened to Rose?
"Rose.....?"

"Jngn'knyrip." She pointed at the arm. Obviously, that was more pressing than anything that had happened to Rose.

"I had an accident, involving meteors. But it'll be okay! I'm doing better at the one-handed thing. How are you? You're new here, right? I mean, I haven't seen you around, and you kind of look like you're spouting rain!"

"Shgvb throl." She nodded, presumably in response to the question of her being new. She wasn't sure how to address the concern of her spouting rain. She guessed it was true - she had just sort of stopped noticing the rain by this point.
It seemed to be bugging Jade, though, so she offered her the umbrella.

"Do you have a place to stay yet? I'm living with the Daves -- there are three of them -- and also with Bro! And Sollux."

She shook her head, her lips pursed as if every party of what Jade had said had landed like a particularly irritating poke in the eye.

Jade still seemed optimistic. It was her natural setting.

"G'hroog mur flnth?" She asked, looking around at the buildings around them.
