[Here is Rose, three weeks late with Starbucks in saying hello. Unfortunately, though there are some familiar faces among all the new folks, there's not a single one from home.

Life does go on, though. Brightly: ]

Normally, I would be a little more forward in addressing the Network, but it occurs to me that there's very few people now who are used to my tastes in conversation. Or in reading material. Nevermind.

Hello, newcomers. My name is Rose. If any of you have found yourselves having been assigned to a psychology course, I would be happy to catch you up on the material you have missed thus far. Additionally, if any of the professionals out there are free, I would be thrilled to hear about [the juicy details of your entire career] your experiences and personal thoughts on the field! [even you, Chilton.

She pauses for a moment (to collect her things) and then:] Actually, if anyone would like to get anything off their chest - whether it be ending up in Heropa or something else - I would be willing to listen.

[She probably has a paper due this week. No one trust her generosity. ]

PRIVATE TEXT MESSAGE: Kanaya & Karkat
It seems as though it is still just the three of us so far.



And Eridan too, I suppose. Kanaya, I may run a little late tonight - I'll try not to wake you, if you're already asleep.

[selfequipped]

I actually met someone at the swearing in who would probably be of interest to you.

His name was Dr. Chilton. But I'm not sure how much work he's had here.

voice.

[nitidus]

[Chilton. ]

We're a little acquainted. I suppose if he ignores this, I can always seek him out.

[A beat. ]

How are you settling in, Kate?

voice.

[selfequipped]

He can be strong-armed into things. Or at least that was my impression.

[A fleeting impression at best.]

And he likes talking about his field.

[That was one of the more obvious parts of it.]

And I'm doing all right. Biding my time and all.

[fraternalism]

An agony aunt. I do wonder what people would come forwards with in a place like this.

[Probably all kinds of horrifying, hilarious stuff.]

voice

[nitidus]

Agony aunt sounds so tabloid. Concerned city veteran would be a better term!

voice

[fraternalism]

You mean a concerned city veteran with a file on the city.

[ that doesn't exactly bode well. ]

What Is It That Will Be Keeping You Then

text; private

[nitidus]

I have a paper due soon - I don't want to keep you up while I pour through my textbooks. I promise, there is no vigilantism tonight.

text; private

[glowsferatu]

[ she hasn't done that in months that kanaya knows of, that's a very specific denial. but then, rose probably knows exactly what she's thinking. ]

You Know You Really Wont Need To Worry About That
It Wouldnt Be Any Bother To Me At All

IF ERIDAN WANTED TO COUNT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED ALL THREE OF US ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

[glowsferatu]

To Be Fair That Was A Different Rose

But You Arent Wrong

[crab]

SAME ERIDAN, SAME DIFFERENCE.
ALSO, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH YOU TWO'S TEXT? IS THIS A NEW TREND NEITHER OF YOU BROUGHT ME UP TO SPEED ON?

same filter

[nitidus]

To be fair, since I arrived all he's really done is be vaguely insulting and pretentious.

forever filter

[crab]

RIGHT, AND THAT ABSOLVES HIM COMPLETELY OF ALL WRONGDOING AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAST ACTIONS.
ALL HE'D REALLY DONE WAS BE VAGUELY INSULTING AND PRETENTIOUS FOR MOST OF THE TIME I KNEW HIM, TOO.
UNTIL HE STARTED KILLING PEOPLE!

[slightlyoffchilt]

[WOW.]

I see I've already been mentioned.

[Brow-furrowing galore, good thing this is voice.]

voice;

[nitidus]

Your reputation proceeds you, Dr. Chilton.

voice;

[selfequipped]

Hey, I didn't say anything bad.

[voice]

[glassinine]

Good day; Miles Edgeworth. May I assume you are a student?

[voice]

[nitidus]

Yes! I study psychology.

AUDIO.

[selfimage]

Someone's willing to take on all the woes of the imPorts. You've a super big self-appointed job ahead of you.

Speaking of! If you'd like to put in an order for mascara, we have a deal going on right now ...

AUDIO.

[nitidus]

It's one I would relish, really. I do love being a shoulder to cry on, you see.

- What kind of mascara?

voice;

[godly]

Are you a student yourself? [Hello, abrupt question. Light pauses and considers clarification.] I only ask because I'm newly arrived and "student" was one of the -- ah, jobs assigned to me. [Though job isn't quite the correct term for that.]

voice;

[nitidus]

I am, yes. Were you also assigned a part-time job? Admittedly, I'm a little shocked they got mine so right.

voice

[viced]

So, what, you're a psychology student now? Or a professional?

voice

[nitidus]

I think 'professional' might be a long way off. Give me five years.
