.02 [ Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This ]
Who: Rogue
Broadcast: nope
Action: Planet with optional Vanquish options
When: Planetside, from beginning to end.
A Is for Augmentation
[It’s the middle of the night, and all good children are supposed to be in bed… so then what is Rogue doing, walking around the boarding house with her gloves off and her eyes closed?
Maybe it’s the same thing that has her shrieking awake a few night’s later, one single, panicked cry that she quickly stifles as awareness returns? Unfortunately, this won’t be her last night with nightmares… and unfortunately, sometimes the sleepwalking and the nightmares may come at once…]
B is for Bounty
[...hunting, that is. Rogue wasn’t planning on making a habit of this, it wasn’t really her thing, but if she found a wanted poster for a guy who did something that pissed her off enough, she would go and make it her business to hunt that particular individual down.
Of course, she didn’t really have any idea what she was doing. It just seemed like a thing to try. How do you find a needle in a haystack, and one poorly washed thug really was almost interchangeable. Walking up to someone and asking, ‘Hey, have you seen this guy?’ was probably not the best way of going about it.
In fact, that’s possibly the kind of thing that could get a gal more attention than she was looking for...]
C is for Chisel (and hammer, and stone)
[Rogue wasn’t exactly sure what that quadraped was, but… she has decided to call it a ‘zeorse’ and she is happy to see it. Do not doubt that she will be making friends in the stables and riding off on adventures…
And one of those adventures takes place after a week or so on the planet, and the quiet confirmation that both Tony and Zessica had… gone, Rogue borrows a chisel and hammer from a local She rides out into the wild and finds a cluster of hard red rock, and in the lee of the wind carves three names there: Tony. Zessica. Anja.
She’ll be more withdrawn and quiet than normal when she returns those tools.]
D is for Drunk and Disorderly
[Sometime after this conversation, Rogue will be… upset.
She will be upset enough to go blindly into the night with a powerful need to punch things, though with Kurt there she didn’t feel it was… the best idea, perhaps, to go and start a bar fight even though it would be so. easy.
So she just goes to a bar. And she orders a drink. And if there is a fight she doesn’t have to start but gets to finish, so be it.
So. Be. It.]
E? E is for Everything Else.
[On the Vanquish? Shopping and hoping to make something out of this material? Staring dramatically into the sunset?]

SURE WHY NOT. BRING ON THE PAIN.
Rogue doesn't pause, but is afraid that ignoring Rapunzel completely will just keep her following so--] It's a nice night. [--without a pause. Just walk on.]
"BRING ON THE PAIN" IS MY MIDDLE NAME
if it was a nice night, why was she in such a hurry? wouldn't she rather enjoy it?
rapunzel turns after her. ]
Is anything the matter?
...it's so true
No.
[Just keep walking.]
no subject
[ this response is a bit bolder than rapunzel's usual attitude, but it's only her concern for a friend that brings it forward. if something's the matter, she wants to know so she can help. ]
no subject
No answer. Just walking.
Go away, sunshine.]
no subject
trotting behind rogue: ]
Um - do you want to talk about it? [ wait, no, that might not work. ] Do you need to talk about it?
no subject
Not now, Rapunzel. Go away.
[Far away. Where you're safe.]
no subject
Ooookay! You don't have to talk about it. But at least let me keep you company. Even if it's in silence.
no subject
Now is not a good time.
[Go. Away.]
no subject
Why isn't it a good time?
no subject
In any event, what kind of a question is that?]
Because it isn't.
