(23:01:55) BitterRusset: Am I alive?
(23:02:38) Lady Pontmercy: You are!
(23:02:48) BitterRusset: Good!
(23:02:51) BitterRusset: Unlike Eddy. XD
(23:02:55) BitterRusset: That was mean. Ignore me.
(23:02:59) Lady Pontmercy: XDD
(23:03:09) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Told you so. =P
(23:03:16) BitterRusset: Eddy: *FLAIL*
(23:03:28) BitterRusset: Eddy: I'm not dead! I'm just resting!
(23:03:41) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Are too! I look horrid in black and wouldn't've worn it if you weren't!
(23:04:34) BitterRusset: Eddy: You do look horrid in black, all right, but you're wrong about the dead thing.
(23:04:56) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *hmph!* Am not.
(23:05:15) BitterRusset: Eddy: :D
(23:05:37) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You're just... you know I'm right!
(23:06:15) BitterRusset: Eddy: I know I'm right, Pussy dear.
(23:07:01) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I know you're wrong! But I suppose you can be forgiven, as you weren't there to see. Since you were dead!
(23:07:16) BitterRusset: Eddy: I AM NOT.
(23:07:19) BitterRusset: Eddy: *wibbles*
(23:07:37) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Are so! *stamps her foot*
(23:07:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: Do I look dead to you?
(23:08:30) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Certainly not, but that doesn't mean anything in this... place.
(23:09:33) BitterRusset: Eddy: *pathetic look*
(23:09:56) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa:...*...hugs*
(23:10:52) BitterRusset: Eddy: *hugsback and is so not a little clingy from panicahh*
(23:11:51) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: ...it's still true, you know.
(23:12:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...It is NOT.
(23:12:40) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: is so! You may ask Mister Landless or Mister Jasper or absolutely anyone.
(23:18:47) BitterRusset: Eddy: I'd rather not...
(23:19:31) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: They should know better than anyone it's true.
(23:21:15) BitterRusset: Eddy: I suppose Uncle Jack would know if anything had happened to me, but...
(23:21:28) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: ...yes, I suppose he would.
(23:21:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: ....
(23:22:17) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: ...what?
(23:22:36) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...murdered.
(23:23:22) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: ...that... that was what they supposed...
(23:23:33) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...*flail*
(23:24:12) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *clings!*
(23:26:48) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: It's not... we don't know who did it, but I daresay there's no cause for worry...
(23:28:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: That's not what matters!
(23:28:13) BitterRusset: Eddy: *grabs her hands* Pussy--Pussy. I'm dead.
(23:29:06) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: So I've been trying to tell you!
(23:29:27) BitterRusset: Eddy: I'm dead, Pussy.
(23:29:52) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I'm glad you're finally listening!
(23:30:23) BitterRusset: Eddy: *MADPANICAHHH*
(23:30:30) BitterRusset: Eddy: I'm dead!
(23:31:12) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *aaah!* Do... do calm yourself! It's hardly... well...! *can't quite think of anything comforting to say*
(23:32:10) Lady Pontmercy: But if there were, Rosa wouldn't be the one to think of it.
(23:32:17) BitterRusset: Eddy: I--I--I'm only twenty years old!
(23:32:40) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Don't you suppose I've already thought all these things?!
(23:33:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: I'm twenty years old! I was going to go to Egypt, you know!
(23:33:20) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I do know! I know as well as anyone what you had planned.
(23:35:29) BitterRusset: Eddy: Well, I shan't be going to Egypt now! I'm dead!
(23:48:36) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I suppose not...!
(23:49:50) BitterRusset: Eddy: *devastation*
(23:50:26) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: ...but perhaps you could!
(23:51:33) BitterRusset: Eddy: I don't see what good it would do!
(23:51:43) BitterRusset: Eddy: I can't believe you never told me, Pussy!
(23:52:16) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I tried to tell you, but you didn't seem terribly receptive just at first, if you'll recall!
(23:53:12) BitterRusset: Eddy: You didn't tell me when I came!
(23:53:24) BitterRusset: Eddy: I've been walking around dead for months and nobody let me know!
(23:53:44) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, it was a bit of a shock!
(23:55:10) BitterRusset: Eddy: You said you'd been wearing black for months! You said it looked horrid on you! A fellow'd think you were recovered enough to let him know he's kicked his proverbial bucket, dash it!
(23:55:30) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, I've told you now, haven't I!
(23:56:43) BitterRusset: Eddy: A little behind the fact, isn't it?
(23:57:07) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, you've been dead since Christmas, 'twould be behind the fact whenever I said it!
(23:57:26) BitterRusset: Eddy: *miserably* Christmas! I suppose I died on the day itself, didn't I?
(23:57:43) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I've certainly no idea! That evening, I suppose..
(23:57:55) BitterRusset: Eddy: How awfully stupid.
(23:57:55) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Perhaps early that morning?
(23:58:06) BitterRusset: Eddy: Christmas. Poor Uncle Jack.
(23:58:36) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: ...quite...
(00:00:07) BitterRusset: Eddy: Must've been a wonderful gift for him.
(00:00:53) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Quite dreadful...
(00:03:15) BitterRusset: Eddy: *buries his face in his hands* Poor Uncle Jack...
(00:04:07) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa:.... *pets his shoulder and doesn't say anything*
(00:04:22) Lady Pontmercy: *pats, rather
(00:04:29) BitterRusset: Eddy: Dash it all..
(00:04:40) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, it's done with now..
(00:06:39) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...I suppose.
(00:06:56) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: There's... there's certainly no use worrying over it now.
(00:09:40) BitterRusset: Eddy: I guess you've got something there...
(00:10:08) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: And you're certainly no different than before.
(00:10:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: *not sure whether to be insulted or comforted*
(00:11:42) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *not sure which she was aiming for. probably both* And you may be sure that most everyone missed you quite a lot.
(00:11:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: Did you?
(00:12:05) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Why, of course!
(00:12:29) BitterRusset: Eddy: Even you, Pussy?
(00:12:50) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I just said so, didn't I?
(00:13:28) BitterRusset: Eddy: *small smile* Well, then. I suppose nothing's too terribly bad..
(00:13:51) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *kisses his cheek* Of course not.
(00:14:17) BitterRusset: Eddy: *eee*
(00:15:20) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You're not really upset, are you, that I didn't tell you?
(00:16:03) BitterRusset: Eddy: I am so!
(00:16:20) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: What!
(00:17:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: Honestly, you've no consideration at all.
(00:17:28) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, I'm terribly sorry!
(00:17:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: You ought to be!
(00:18:29) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, now, you ought to be glad I told you at all!
(00:19:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: If you were going to take so dreadfully long about it, you might as well have not told me at all!
(00:19:24) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Perhaps I oughn't've! Had I known you'd act this way about it..!
(00:20:50) BitterRusset: Eddy: But you did, because you couldn't keep a secret like that for long.
(00:21:23) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I can keep secrets!
(00:21:46) BitterRusset: Eddy: You cannot.
(00:22:20) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *hmph!* Can so!
(00:22:35) BitterRusset: Eddy: If I tell you a secret, I'd place money on how long it'd take you to tell.
(00:23:32) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *reddens* Only you would bet on such a thing! I've kept secrets.
(00:24:41) BitterRusset: Eddy: Oh? Which ones?
(00:25:21) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, I cannot say, else they wouldn't be secrets.
(00:25:31) BitterRusset: Eddy: *damn, you caught him*
(00:25:49) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *haha!*
(00:26:36) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Besides, suppose I was keeping them from you? *hmph!*
(00:26:52) BitterRusset: Eddy: You'd never deny me anything, Pussy.
(00:27:08) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well! I have!
(00:27:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: I don't believe it for a moment.
(00:28:27) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I have, I have! I never, ever told you of Mister Ja-- ...of a certain secret.
(00:28:56) BitterRusset: Eddy: What's that?
(00:29:56) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Nothing. A secret.
(00:30:36) BitterRusset: Eddy: What sort of secret?
(00:30:59) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: A secret one, of course!
(00:31:23) BitterRusset: Eddy: What sort of secret secret?
(00:31:39) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: One I surely sha'n't tell you!
(00:32:31) BitterRusset: Eddy: Well! that is rather dreadful of you, Pussy.
(00:32:38) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa:... it is?
(00:32:41) BitterRusset: Eddy: You are always keeping things from me!
(00:32:46) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Only this!
(00:34:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: It took you long enough to tell me about my death, too! You are most unkind, Pussy.
(00:34:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Oh, I'm not!
(00:34:48) BitterRusset: Eddy: Indeed you are. You are quite dreadful.
(00:36:18) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *stamps her foot* I am not!
(00:36:34) BitterRusset: Eddy: You are terribly so!
(00:36:43) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Do stop it!
(00:37:26) BitterRusset: Eddy: Oh, very well.
(00:37:53) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Good. It's a wicked thing to say of me. I would have told you.
(00:38:16) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...Of course you would.
(00:38:31) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You shouldn't've believed me if I had, horrid boy!
(00:38:52) BitterRusset: Eddy: I should so!
(00:39:04) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Should not!
(00:39:33) BitterRusset: Eddy: Should so!
(00:41:48) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You would not believe me when I said you were dead, whyever would you believe anything I've to say of Mister Jasper?!
(00:42:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: --Uncle Jack? What's happened with Uncle Jack?
(00:42:12) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: .........nothing.
(00:42:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: What!
(00:43:03) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Nothing!
(00:43:36) BitterRusset: Eddy: If it were nothing, my dear, you wouldn't be so silly. What is it?
(00:43:54) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I cannot say.
(00:44:31) BitterRusset: Eddy: You must tell me! It's about my uncle!
(00:44:59) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: That is why I cannot tell you!
(00:45:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: But you must!
(00:45:13) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I... I don't want to!
(00:45:35) BitterRusset: Eddy: Tell me!
(00:45:42) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: No!
(00:46:30) BitterRusset: Eddy: *cajoling* Pussy, do say.
(00:47:04) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *presses her lips together and shakes her head* *so mature. heck yes*
(00:47:29) BitterRusset: Eddy: *sing-song* Pussyyyy.
(00:47:46) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Eddy!
(00:48:48) BitterRusset: Eddy: Do just say!
(00:49:51) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *all in a rush* Your uncle is a horrid, bad man and I detest him and I do believe he killed you so there! *covers her face with her hands*
(00:50:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(00:50:04) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(00:50:31) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I've told you, you could say something, at least!
(00:50:51) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...Uncle Jack WHAT?
(00:51:04) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: He's an awful, bad man!
(00:51:27) BitterRusset: Eddy: Why? What has he done?
(00:52:15) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: It... he... *flails*
(00:52:42) BitterRusset: Eddy: *worried genuinely* Pussy?
(00:53:32) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Dreadful things.
(00:54:08) BitterRusset: Eddy: What sort of dreadful things?
(00:54:23) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: The looks he gave me!
(00:54:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(00:55:09) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You see, I said you should not believe me.
(00:55:26) BitterRusset: Eddy: But--
(00:55:35) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa:..?
(00:56:12) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...why? Why the devil Uncle Jack?
(00:57:58) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Because... because he loves me!
(00:59:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: What utter nonsense.
(00:59:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: It's not! *verge-of-tearish*
(01:07:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: But--but why do you--?
(01:08:04) BitterRusset: Eddy: Whatever gives you that idea?
(01:08:30) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: The... the way he looks at me! He as much as says it!
(01:08:47) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(01:09:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I didn't want to tell you..!
(01:10:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: By George..
(01:10:48) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: He... it...
(01:11:30) BitterRusset: Eddy: *softly* By George, you mean it, Pussy.
(01:12:13) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Of course I do!
(01:12:59) BitterRusset: Eddy: ... *needs time to deal with this. ahhhhhh*
(01:13:16) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *gah. feels bad*
(01:14:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: *you should! you've turned over my world twice in the last twenty-four hours!*
(01:14:09) BitterRusset: Eddy: And he... he killed me, too?
(01:14:22) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I don't know! I... everyone things Mister Landless did it..
(01:14:26) Lady Pontmercy: *thinks
(01:14:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...I wouldn't put it past him.
(01:15:11) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Now! He is my Helena's brother, and I shall hear no such things from you!
(01:15:21) BitterRusset: Eddy: He's still a rascal!
(01:15:33) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: But he swears he did not, and I believe him!
(01:16:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: But you are too good, Pussy.
(01:16:10) BitterRusset: Eddy: You believe such a dreadful lot.
(01:16:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I don't believe Mister Jasper.
(01:17:04) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...Dash it!
(01:17:18) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Oh, Eddy! I'm sorry, I know you love him, I oughtn't've...
(01:18:03) BitterRusset: Eddy: No, no, but I've got to have some time to think it over.
(01:18:07) BitterRusset: Eddy: I mean--
(01:18:18) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I'm sorry.
(01:18:35) BitterRusset: Eddy: No!
(01:19:16) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I've told you all these horrid things and I ought to have just kept my mouth shut and I truly can't keep secrets, and--! *babbles*
(01:19:44) BitterRusset: Eddy: *takes her shoulders* No, no, no! I'm just terribly confused, Pussy.
(01:19:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: I'll sort it out.
(01:19:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: To-morrow.
(01:20:43) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: And you will... you will proceed as you always have, with Mister Jasper? With Mister Landless?
(01:21:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: I've got to think about it, I tell you!
(01:22:44) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Yes, of course...! I... I'm sorry, Eddy.
(01:23:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: *augh*
(01:23:28) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *gaah*
(01:24:37) BitterRusset: Eddy: *wants to hide so very, very badly. and try to sort the crazy out a little, at least*
(01:25:09) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *wouldn't mind if he hid*
(01:25:20) BitterRusset: Eddy: *all right, then. that's the agenda*
(01:25:42) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *righto!*

(00:06:39) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...I suppose.
(00:06:56) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: There's... there's certainly no use worrying over it now.
(00:09:40) BitterRusset: Eddy: I guess you've got something there...
(00:10:08) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: And you're certainly no different than before.
(00:10:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: *not sure whether to be insulted or comforted*
(00:11:42) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *not sure which she was aiming for. probably both* And you may be sure that most everyone missed you quite a lot.
(00:11:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: Did you?
(00:12:05) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Why, of course!
(00:12:29) BitterRusset: Eddy: Even you, Pussy?
(00:12:50) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I just said so, didn't I?
(00:13:28) BitterRusset: Eddy: *small smile* Well, then. I suppose nothing's too terribly bad..
(00:13:51) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *kisses his cheek* Of course not.
(00:14:17) BitterRusset: Eddy: *eee*
(00:15:20) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You're not really upset, are you, that I didn't tell you?
(00:16:03) BitterRusset: Eddy: I am so!
(00:16:20) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: What!
(00:17:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: Honestly, you've no consideration at all.
(00:17:28) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, I'm terribly sorry!
(00:17:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: You ought to be!
(00:18:29) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, now, you ought to be glad I told you at all!
(00:19:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: If you were going to take so dreadfully long about it, you might as well have not told me at all!
(00:19:24) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Perhaps I oughn't've! Had I known you'd act this way about it..!
(00:20:50) BitterRusset: Eddy: But you did, because you couldn't keep a secret like that for long.
(00:21:23) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I can keep secrets!
(00:21:46) BitterRusset: Eddy: You cannot.
(00:22:20) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *hmph!* Can so!
(00:22:35) BitterRusset: Eddy: If I tell you a secret, I'd place money on how long it'd take you to tell.
(00:23:32) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *reddens* Only you would bet on such a thing! I've kept secrets.
(00:24:41) BitterRusset: Eddy: Oh? Which ones?
(00:25:21) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well, I cannot say, else they wouldn't be secrets.
(00:25:31) BitterRusset: Eddy: *damn, you caught him*
(00:25:49) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *haha!*
(00:26:36) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Besides, suppose I was keeping them from you? *hmph!*
(00:26:52) BitterRusset: Eddy: You'd never deny me anything, Pussy.
(00:27:08) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Well! I have!
(00:27:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: I don't believe it for a moment.
(00:28:27) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I have, I have! I never, ever told you of Mister Ja-- ...of a certain secret.
(00:28:56) BitterRusset: Eddy: What's that?
(00:29:56) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Nothing. A secret.
(00:30:36) BitterRusset: Eddy: What sort of secret?
(00:30:59) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: A secret one, of course!
(00:31:23) BitterRusset: Eddy: What sort of secret secret?
(00:31:39) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: One I surely sha'n't tell you!
(00:32:31) BitterRusset: Eddy: Well! that is rather dreadful of you, Pussy.
(00:32:38) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa:... it is?
(00:32:41) BitterRusset: Eddy: You are always keeping things from me!
(00:32:46) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Only this!
(00:34:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: It took you long enough to tell me about my death, too! You are most unkind, Pussy.
(00:34:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Oh, I'm not!
(00:34:48) BitterRusset: Eddy: Indeed you are. You are quite dreadful.
(00:36:18) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *stamps her foot* I am not!
(00:36:34) BitterRusset: Eddy: You are terribly so!
(00:36:43) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Do stop it!
(00:37:26) BitterRusset: Eddy: Oh, very well.
(00:37:53) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Good. It's a wicked thing to say of me. I would have told you.
(00:38:16) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...Of course you would.
(00:38:31) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You shouldn't've believed me if I had, horrid boy!
(00:38:52) BitterRusset: Eddy: I should so!
(00:39:04) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Should not!
(00:39:33) BitterRusset: Eddy: Should so!
(00:41:48) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You would not believe me when I said you were dead, whyever would you believe anything I've to say of Mister Jasper?!
(00:42:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: --Uncle Jack? What's happened with Uncle Jack?
(00:42:12) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: .........nothing.
(00:42:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: What!
(00:43:03) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Nothing!
(00:43:36) BitterRusset: Eddy: If it were nothing, my dear, you wouldn't be so silly. What is it?
(00:43:54) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I cannot say.
(00:44:31) BitterRusset: Eddy: You must tell me! It's about my uncle!
(00:44:59) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: That is why I cannot tell you!
(00:45:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: But you must!
(00:45:13) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I... I don't want to!
(00:45:35) BitterRusset: Eddy: Tell me!
(00:45:42) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: No!
(00:46:30) BitterRusset: Eddy: *cajoling* Pussy, do say.
(00:47:04) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *presses her lips together and shakes her head* *so mature. heck yes*
(00:47:29) BitterRusset: Eddy: *sing-song* Pussyyyy.
(00:47:46) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Eddy!
(00:48:48) BitterRusset: Eddy: Do just say!
(00:49:51) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *all in a rush* Your uncle is a horrid, bad man and I detest him and I do believe he killed you so there! *covers her face with her hands*
(00:50:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(00:50:04) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(00:50:31) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I've told you, you could say something, at least!
(00:50:51) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...Uncle Jack WHAT?
(00:51:04) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: He's an awful, bad man!
(00:51:27) BitterRusset: Eddy: Why? What has he done?
(00:52:15) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: It... he... *flails*
(00:52:42) BitterRusset: Eddy: *worried genuinely* Pussy?
(00:53:32) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Dreadful things.
(00:54:08) BitterRusset: Eddy: What sort of dreadful things?
(00:54:23) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: The looks he gave me!
(00:54:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(00:55:09) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: You see, I said you should not believe me.
(00:55:26) BitterRusset: Eddy: But--
(00:55:35) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa:..?
(00:56:12) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...why? Why the devil Uncle Jack?
(00:57:58) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Because... because he loves me!
(00:59:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: What utter nonsense.
(00:59:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: It's not! *verge-of-tearish*
(01:07:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: But--but why do you--?
(01:08:04) BitterRusset: Eddy: Whatever gives you that idea?
(01:08:30) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: The... the way he looks at me! He as much as says it!
(01:08:47) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...
(01:09:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I didn't want to tell you..!
(01:10:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: By George..
(01:10:48) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: He... it...
(01:11:30) BitterRusset: Eddy: *softly* By George, you mean it, Pussy.
(01:12:13) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Of course I do!
(01:12:59) BitterRusset: Eddy: ... *needs time to deal with this. ahhhhhh*
(01:13:16) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *gah. feels bad*
(01:14:01) BitterRusset: Eddy: *you should! you've turned over my world twice in the last twenty-four hours!*
(01:14:09) BitterRusset: Eddy: And he... he killed me, too?
(01:14:22) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I don't know! I... everyone things Mister Landless did it..
(01:14:26) Lady Pontmercy: *thinks
(01:14:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...I wouldn't put it past him.
(01:15:11) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Now! He is my Helena's brother, and I shall hear no such things from you!
(01:15:21) BitterRusset: Eddy: He's still a rascal!
(01:15:33) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: But he swears he did not, and I believe him!
(01:16:00) BitterRusset: Eddy: But you are too good, Pussy.
(01:16:10) BitterRusset: Eddy: You believe such a dreadful lot.
(01:16:19) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I don't believe Mister Jasper.
(01:17:04) BitterRusset: Eddy: ...Dash it!
(01:17:18) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Oh, Eddy! I'm sorry, I know you love him, I oughtn't've...
(01:18:03) BitterRusset: Eddy: No, no, but I've got to have some time to think it over.
(01:18:07) BitterRusset: Eddy: I mean--
(01:18:18) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I'm sorry.
(01:18:35) BitterRusset: Eddy: No!
(01:19:16) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: I've told you all these horrid things and I ought to have just kept my mouth shut and I truly can't keep secrets, and--! *babbles*
(01:19:44) BitterRusset: Eddy: *takes her shoulders* No, no, no! I'm just terribly confused, Pussy.
(01:19:49) BitterRusset: Eddy: I'll sort it out.
(01:19:53) BitterRusset: Eddy: To-morrow.
(01:20:43) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: And you will... you will proceed as you always have, with Mister Jasper? With Mister Landless?
(01:21:54) BitterRusset: Eddy: I've got to think about it, I tell you!
(01:22:44) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: Yes, of course...! I... I'm sorry, Eddy.
(01:23:05) BitterRusset: Eddy: *augh*
(01:23:28) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *gaah*
(01:24:37) BitterRusset: Eddy: *wants to hide so very, very badly. and try to sort the crazy out a little, at least*
(01:25:09) Lady Pontmercy: Rosa: *wouldn't mind if he hid*
