( Hey, Avalon! You might remember this face from such hits as "trying to sell you bags in the rain". Though, this time, Rosa is broadcasting from a bedroom, sat cross-legged on a bed with her hair scraped up into a half ponytail, still wearing the day's makeup as she records. )

Okay, so like, I get our job is like, to save the multiverse and stuff. So don't come for me, okay?

( Because what she's about to ask is not nearly of the kind of importance magnitude as a multiversal apocalypse, even Rosa knows that. )

But, like, what's the juiciest gossip this place has? I feel so behind on like, knowing the ins and outs of everyone's lives! And there's no way I can go through all the social media here. TikTok is, like, a full-time job.

So, c'mon! Gimme the stories! Who's dating who? Have there been any weddings? Are there pictures?

[ He wasn't going to respond with talking about himself but then she said weddings and his dumbass lost it again. ]

I was going to get married but my fiance disappeared... Text only so you don't have to see a grown man cry...!! ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽

[inkbled]

( Oh. Oh no. Oh this is not what she wanted to achieve by asking this. She'll switch to text, partially because he's messaging that way, and partially because it gives her a buffer in replying. )

i'm so sorry! i didn't think about that...
but you must have lots of good memories, right?

( ha ha...help. )

[arf]

Loads of them! Haha but I guess right now even the happy ones make me happy, then sad, it's a total mess!
Sorry I don't have better stuff to say... I've been hanging out with capybaras and watching NuruGe. The capybaras have accepted me into their society.

[ He's not even an animal mage, but both he and capybaras are very friendly with Everyone. ]

[inkbled]

( Okay, there are so many questions she has right now but... )

what's a capybara?

[arf]

They are friend-shaped animals that are actually friends.

[inkbled]

🤯🤯🤯 that's them????
are you an animal mage? can you like, talk to them?

( She's assuming because of the "actually friends" comment. )

[arf]

No they're just super friendly!! I saw one cuddling a cat and a turtle the other day!

[inkbled]

( OK, she's ava-googling "Turtle" before she replies. Man, maybe she needs to start putting posters with animal facts up on her walls or something. )

😲😲 i wanna see that too!

( The girl who started out too weirded out by horses to want to pet them without encouragement... )

[arf]

There was only one turtle so I don't know where it went.. but I'm sure if you're near the water you'll see one eventually!

[inkbled]

where were you when you saw this?

( Rosa Rivera's animal tourism quest begins! )

[arf]

It's the town I've been working on. Lord Taichi's Super Awesome Sparkling Romance Town! (Name is still being workshopped!) It's like uh... south and then a little bit left from Camelot City? Like all the way to the coast.

[inkbled]

( That's... one heck of a name. Not that Rosa would be able to think of a better one!

And BRB, googling. )

wow! you own, like, all of that?!

( She almost asks if it's a good place for dates but, hm. Better not if he's just lost his fiancé. )

[arf]

[ Thankfully, it'll be called Fleur one day. But that thread happened after this one. :') ]

Yeah. My boyfriend was one of the borgoyosy (rich people) so I wanted to impress him so I worked really hard to become a noble.

[ And then got welcomed to peerage and came home and Hikaru was gone. :') He knows he's being too much tho so he keeps that emotional outburst to himself. ]

[inkbled]

( thank goodness someone has sense )

huh

( so that means anyone can become rich? )

that's really impressive!

( excuse her while she sits with this idea of social mobility. )

[arf]

Thank you!
It's hard work, but the idea is that you do as many quests as you can that help people in ways that don't involve ass-kicking. If you prove you're noble of heart, then they trust you to be noble of.. pocket?

[inkbled]

... that sounds way too easy.

[arf]

It was a lot of hard work though. It's not like quests are like, go door-to-door selling cookies!

Which I guess could be hard work here... door-to-door trying to sell to fairies without a bargainer would be scary... I like my organs.

[inkbled]

( It's not that part she doubts. It's that it's possible at all, tbh. )

yeah... fairies sound pretty powerful. i hope i don't run into one.

[arf]

They're not all bad! The brownies look like little old men, but if I summon them they'll clean the whole house for cake! And the theater!

[inkbled]

that's how my mom gets me to do it, too! ...but i don't look like a little old man. i don't think.

[arf]

You don't! You're super super cute!

[inkbled]

( Honestly, she didn't think so, but the ego boost is always nice! )

hehe
