Welcome!
"Greetings, my fellow
adventurer," says a young woman dressed in a navy
blue gown. She sits down on a cozy loveseat. "My
name is Rosie, and I am owner of this humble abode. Since
Z-san ruined the last one in my heart, I tore it down and
built one as full of peace, love, and beauty as possible.
As well as filling it with the aforementioned, I
attempted to cut the black to a minimum, for it reminds
me of Z-san and all of the terrible events of the past."
You stare at her: pausing for a second, she stares back and then continues with her story, looking down at her hands, wondering, Have I done something wrong to make this person stare at me so suddenly? You look away as she begins again.
"You see, black
reminds me of death, horror, betrayal, and bad vibes. It
reminds me of cruelty, anger, hatred. It reminds me of
things I wish not to dwell on, for they fill me with so
much anger, sadness, and depression that I start
screaming, wailing, crying, and hugging my teddy bear all
at once. So you shall see little black;
you've left all yout hatred, anger, and
bitterness behind you already."
Rosie smiles at you.
"It's very peaceful here, I assure you," she
says, noticing how hesitant you are to believe her
speech. "Maybe, in a long while, I'll tell you the
story of Z-san and how she hurt me. It's very long,
though.."
You look around at the room you're
standing in and notice a locket hanging on the door. On
closer examination, you find that it is not a full
locket, but merely half of one. "Why is there only
half a locket here?" you ask Rosie.
"Because a very dear friend,
Katrina, of Kat's Keep, has the other half," Rosie
says softly. "Katrina-chan is a very very dear
friend of mine." Her eyes fill up with tears.
"She helped me during periods of pain and was..is..a
very loyal friend whom I hold close to my heart."
Rosie stands up and wipes away the tears from her eyes.
"I'm sorry to leave, but I do have some appointments
to keep. I have to go and visit Katrina-chan and
Marjorie-chan, as well as pick up a few books and some
groceries. Feel free to wander around, and may the angels
watch over you and keep you safe!" You watch,
astounded, as Rosie takes the locket from the door, puts
it on, and leaves.
Glancing around the room, you notice a
great many things. Upon the west wall are numerous awards
and diplomas; everything from passing fifth grade to
swimming ribbons to figure skating medals to a community
leader training diploma. You wonder how many of the
awards have true meaning and how many do not; you decide
to ask Rosie about them when she comes back.
The north wall has papers coating the
entire wall. Many are drawings of anime characters, some
of which are obviously from Sailor Moon and others which
are unidentifiable. Some are drawings of flowers and
horses. There are essays, tests, reports that have been
tacked haphazardly to the wall. One thing that sticks out
in your mind is an article clipped from a magazine,
entitled "The Meaning Of Life." You smile as
you read it, for you are beginning to understand the
woman you are dealing with here.
The east wall has a huge window, with a
picturesque view of the countryside. You see rolling
hills, beautiful green grass, and a path leading up
through the hills. A cherry tree sits about 100 meters
away from the window, and slightly to the south, as so it
is not blocking the view.You imagine that the cherry tree
is Rosie's favorite thinking spot, and that this window
must provide inspiration for many things. The view is
very quaint and serene, and you have fallen in love with
it. You then notice that there is a table next to the
window, with a picture of the beautiful view during a
springtime sunrise. You take one and admire Rosie, who
has seemingly thought of everything.
Against the south wall is a desk, covered
with memos and papers. Picking one up, you see that it is
someone asking Rosie for help with building their homes. That
must be where she's off to later, you think to
yourself. How can anyone treat this girl the way this
Z-san person did? Then you remember that the world
is filled with all sorts of people, and not everyone is a
soldier for love and justice.
Suddenly, a smaller girl with strawberry
blond hair and blue eyes walks through the door. She is
not quite 4 feet 6 inches tall, and is holding a
tortoiseshell cat in her arms. Though she is small, she seems to be a teenager. Upon noticing you, she
says, "Hello, I'm Cassie. You must be one of
Rosie-san's many visitors. I live here, too. Would you
like a tour?" You nod and follow
her..
