Rose Wilson application

[rose_ravager]

Rose was not impressed to find herself hitting ground that was several inches lower than she'd expected it to be, but she caught herself and dropped back into a ready stance. Last she'd known, she'd been running into a cloud of dust, and now she was in an... amusement park? She put her hands over her shoulders to check that both katanas were still

On the one hand, opening with a reference to temporary insanity is not promising.

On the other, she gets the Monty Python reference.

Hell, it's not like he's got anywhere else to be right now.

"Hey," says Logan, smiling easily as he approaches. "So which green panties were these?"

[rose_ravager]

Rose turned around at the sound of a normal human voice, and had to smile at the teenager coming her way. "Hi. And Robin's panties. You know... Batman and Robin..." She raised an eyebrow at him. "Green, armored, clung in all the right places..."

[thebadboyfriend]

"Ah, yes. I can't say we've got the same definition of 'all the right places' but I seem to remember practically whole section of Superdickery.com being devoted to those panties. They're armored, huh? Sounds like they'd chafe."

[rose_ravager]

Rose laughed. "That's too bad..." She blinked at the 'superdickery' reference, but just shrugged it off. "You'd think so, but I honestly don't think they did. Although that would explain why the newest Robin went for tights rather than panties."

She grinned. "Or he was just trying to look a little more dignified."

The drone drifts into the plaza and sizes up the young woman thoughtfully.

"Greetings, Ms Worth. I am Fohristiwhirl Skaffen-Amtiskaw Handrahen Dran Easpyou." It dips in the air, a drone bow. "Do feel free to call me Skaffen-Amtiskaw. Impressive blades that you have there."

[rose_ravager]

Rose looked at the... thing... in the air, and blinked. "Well... hi. You're different." The compliment to her katanas made her smile. "Thank you, Skaffen-Amtiskaw. Ah... what are you?" Her single blue eye sparkled with curiosity, and she tilted her head a little to study the being in front of her.

[skaffenamtiskaw]

"The English language word for it is 'drone', although that's a poor translation from my native Marain. I am a citizen of the Culture, which ... I expect you have probably not heard of; not many people from this place have. You'll find there are many people and beings from a wide range of times, places, and civilisations here."

[rose_ravager]

Rose grinned. "Thank you." She listened to his explanation, and then scratched the back of her head slowly as she thought about that. "So, basically, it's like that half-bit villain 'Mirror Master' went nuts and pulled a bunch of people through a mirror? Wonderful. Found a way out yet?"

John couldn't help but recognize some of the names. He had been as big on Superheroes as most boys were at one time or another. And really, after some of the types they had around here, it was only a matter of time before someon from Gotham showed up, right?

"Kind of a complicated way to make milk chocolate, don't you think?" He's making small talk for the sake of it, unsure as to what this girl's temperment will be like since he doesn't recognize her name specifically. Please don't be some kind of rabid Hulk creature that suddenly decides to snap people in half when they get hungry. "I actually always wondered what would happen if someone flat out lied to Ears over there. You know, said they weren't carrying anything sharp when they obviously were, or something?"

[rose_ravager]

Rose laughed as she looked at this newest person to cross her path. "Well... I suppose. But I wasn't given an 'all' option." She looked him over, grinning just a little. It was starting to look like she'd at least be trapped in bizzarro purgatory with attractive people. It was better than nothing.

"I thought about it, but Robin says I should try to be nice, and for the sake of not having some giant mouse try to rip my head off, I decided to follow his advice."

[always_confuzed]

Oh good. She didn't seem crazy. After all that had been going on lately, John was geared up for anything, but that was really only because he didn't want to see anyone hurt. Nevermind the no-kill rule that he had recently learned was in place, it would be nice if people weren't injuring each other either.

He also knew a once over when he saw it, and even though part of him was a little shocked (and reminded of Chiana... had to be the hair), he smiled comfortingly. Whatever the situation, it was very difficult for John Crichton not to be friendly. "The Mouse seems pretty harmless after a while, actually. He doesn't seem to do much besides annoy or creepify people. I'm John," he told her, realizing finally that in all his worry he had forgotten to introduce himself. He held out a hand to shake. "So this Robin guy, he doesn't happen to go around in red, yellow and green with a guy dressed like a bat, does he?"

[rose_ravager]

The judge said she wasn't crazy, didn't he? Eh. "Harmless would be nice for once. I'm Rose." It'd been a while since anyone had actually wanted to shake her hand, but she stuck her own callused hand in his to shake.

"Well, he used to. He changed his uniform's colors after his best friend died. But yeah, that would be the Robin I mean."

[mickey_mous]

"Swell," says Mickey, suddenly. "So, Rose, you ready to find out which of our excitin' lands you'll be livin' in?"

[rose_ravager]

Rose jumped when the mouse spoke up again, and then she nodded. "Yeah, I think so."

[mickey_mous]

He cants his head to one side and looks at her. "I think you'd like Adventureland..."

[rose_ravager]

She had to resist the urge to tilt her head at the mouse, just out of a perverse sense of the appropriate. Instead, she smiled and nodded. "Thanks. I think. Now I just get to find where I'm going."
