I'm not sure what we have here. Some sort of ultimate captchalogue card?

GA: I Cant See You In The Future GA: The Viewport Wont Let Me After A Certain Point GA: Its Black GA: But Only For You [...] GA: Several Hours From Now

Alright, so she's not dead, she's just being obfuscated from Trollian. Kanaya didn't mention the Scratch, so I don't think that's the cause - and if it was, it would probably affect all the kids.

Why would Rose, specifically, be hidden? Well, her patrons are traditionally 'beyond comprehension' - so if one of them showed up in person, Trollian might refuse to render it.

Kanaya hasn't specified if she's still able to message Rose in this timeframe - but if she's asking this Rose about it instead, it doesn't sound like she can. It would clear a lot up if we could take a look at Rose immediately before she fades out.

TT: That's thoughtful of you. TT: To strive to pacify me as I scuffle down this black corridor. GA: Wait GA: Is That What Im Doing TT: Is it? GA: On Second Thought GA: Thats Not What I Want To Do TT: Oh. TT: That's a pity. TT: Who will make sure my soul isn't forfeit in service of gods then?

I sense some crossed wires here.

Rose is flirting with Kanaya, under the assumption that what she's saying is unambiguously hearts. This is because she's never even heard of diamonds - she doesn't understand that her use of the word 'pacify' will completely change the dynamic of their conversation. She's confused, and doesn't understand what she's done wrong.

Kanaya, meanwhile, has been building hearts with Rose - and from her perspective, Rose has tried to shift their relationship to diamonds. Kanaya the Moirail has been burned before - once again, she's not looking for a pale romance, and this time, she thought her intentions were clear. She's confused, and doesn't understand what she's done wrong.

'body a day' #10: table

So I couldn't help but play that game with him, ending up at a table in the corner, tease and getting teased. This little fucker, Neil as it turned out, really got me at times, but it seemed like the presence of my neighbour and what this let me do didn't fail to get him either. It wasn't hard to notice though, as his eyes frequently went downward where the loose pants that I chose didn't hide much of my liking until eventually I felt his hand crawling up my leg under the table.

"Mind to go somewhere more... private"

Turned out, that it wasn't that far, as he lived near the highschool he went to not too long ago. The tension wasn't dropping as we chatted and joked around, but the second we entered his flat it was him that practically jumped at me, pushing me against the wall in heated kisses, feeling me as I felt him, getting rid of our cloth as we stumbled through the hallway.

He was so hot! Greedy, luscious excitement, sweet kisses, cheeky smiles. I could have easily swallowed him in pure extasy. So we devoured eachother, loosing all sense of time, all sense of self until we ended up in his bedroom, breathing heavily, injoying the aftermath of our heated adventure...

"Wouldn't have guessed u'd give in to Mike"

"Why not" I asked

"I mean, for all I could tell you pretty much avoided the team. I guess, otherwise you wouldn't refuse a nice encounter"

So that's what I was sensing. No wonder Mike was lusting like that. And I guess that Asian dude wouldn't mind either. And now it was me, happily harvesting what my neighbour built up.

But with Neil it was different. I almost wondered if he felt that way before. Something told me, that he was maybe aware of something more that had changed besides my neighbour suddenly hitting on the team.

But I didn't think too much about that. I mean, never in a thousand years would someone guess what really caused my neighbour to act differently.

So I just injoyed, kissed him, stayed a while, feeling eachother before I left...
