[Rose wasn't sure how to react at first when she started hearing the whispers. The whispers that were obviously in her voice. She ignored it of course. They told her things she already knew and at first, it was a nuisance more than anything.

But it progressed, she realized. It became more insistent as the day progressed and it didn't take long before she was literally followed by some dark, shadowy figure that she recognized to be herself. Despite it all, Rose forced herself to continue through her day without acknowledging it.
]

Oh, look at you, trying to be the perfect student. A little miss know-it-all because she'll never be decent at anything else. You're a lousy friend after all. You only care for yourself and your image. You don't actually trust any of your friends! Not even your family.

[Rose flipped a page and concentrated on her book. It'll go away. It can't keep at this now can it.]

Not that it matters. Who could love a cynical and spiteful child like you? Only fourteen and you think you understand the world. Only fourteen and you can barely call any of your relationships close. Oh? Remember how your mother is clearly the loved, socialite she should be? How did she give birth to an antisocial brat like you? No wonder Bro never wanted to touch you with a ten foot pole. He only did it for Dave. Dave is the loved child, after all. Even Roxy is a much better person than you. She's got more problems than you but you don't see her being some hot mess like you.

Tais-toi juste!!! [Rose knocked over her chair as she suddenly got to her feet. She froze and looked around before picking up her books and bag and heading out of the library as quick as possible.] Une fiction de mon imagination... [She muttered to herself.]

What's wrong? I thought you always tackled your problems head on. Pretending that I'm not here? Isn't that cowardly?

C'est une longue journée.

[If anyone were to speak to Rose. She might seem tired and even rather snippy as she speaks. Irate and no way to channel it. Not that she is trying too. She's trying to bottle it up and proceed with her day as usual.]
plushaeusrumpified: (where you are I'm gonna say)

[Bro unfortunately managed to miss the library incident. It's probably a good thing, because hearing all of that? That would've been a lot to take in and he would've had a lot to say about it if he knew how she was really feeling. A lot of people seemed to be acting weird lately though. He was starting to wonder if there was something in the air. Maybe people were just... doing more drugs than usual. Or maybe the castle was screwing with people again. He wouldn't put that past the place after everything that had happened over the last few weeks.

But the difference here, though. Is that it's personally messing with his kid. If he knew that, oy he'd be pissed as hell. Fortunately for the moment, he doesn't know anything is going on.

So when he sees her on his way through the castle, he stops.]


Yo, hey. Where you headed in such a hurry?

[ABORT ABORT. NOPE. Abscond. Fuck. She is completely stoic, but she is definitely freaking out inside. Bro is one of the last people she wanted to see during this dilemma. She glanced at her shadow and back at Bro. She can do this song and dance.]

Somewhere in which I can study alone. It is embarrassing to recite things for magical languages while I'm still learning. I rather not offend someone for perhaps pronouncing something wrong.

Ah, what a good lie. Too afraid to confront your daddy issues, as alwa-

[Rose might have raised her voice.] I just would like to get ahead since I find it all rather fascinating.
plushaeusrumpified: (you said it's meant to be)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-01-20 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bro still can't see the shadow. It must not be strong enough just yet for him to, but despite that, he can't help but feel like something is a little off. Not only from the way Rose is acting.]

I don't think there's a Mermaid around here that you can off-

[But he's cut off by Rose raising her voice, and at the same time he heard something else underneath it.]

...Did you hear something?

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-01-25 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
The sound of my voice? Yes, I do love to hear myself speak. It's a folly of mine I was trying to hide, but now you know.

[Nope. NOPEEEE. Noping so hard. All the nopes. She can nope more than she is noping right now.]

What a petty lie. You actually like something about yourself? We both know that song and dance.

I haven't the faintest clue what you're referring too. Perhaps the sounds from outside?
plushaeusrumpified: ('cause I know what it means)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-02-02 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, he can tell something's up. After Rose speaks the first time, he hears the faint whisper of... something, and it's enough to let onto the fact that something is going on. He didn't make it out entirely, but he did hear something about lies.]

Rose... What the hell is goin' on? Did you cast a spell or something? Because what I just heard was definitely not something from outside- it sounded like an echo of you or something.

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-02-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rose is not going to lose. She isn't going to let Bro find out about her problems that he doesn't need to know.]

I don't know what you're talking about. I only hear myself. Perhaps the castle seems emptier than usual?

What's wrong? Don't want to be a daddy's little girl? Don't want him to know all your silly daddy issues you've had growing up?

I honestly don't know what's going on. [Well, that's kind of true.]
plushaeusrumpified: (and ways to say you died)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-02-13 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[That time, he hears it. Or at least most of it. Enough to get the general gist of it, and it... doesn't make him feel good. At all. His stomach rolls and he feels a chill creep through him. Whatever's going on is not good.]

Rose... Be completely honest with me. Please. Did you hear that?

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-02-13 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, oh no. This is not what she wants. Nope. NOPEEEE.]

What exactly are we hearing?

Oh, look at you. Using your great deflecting skills by answering a question with another question!
plushaeusrumpified: (you said it's meant to be)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-02-18 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
That!

[He sounds exasperated and more than a little worried, because that sounded very clear, and he heard every word of it.]

Why are you deflecting the question? You hear it, don't you? Why the hell are you pretending not to?

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-02-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's a nuisance that should be ignored in the first place.

Of course. Ignoring me would be the best course of action. You don't want to talk about your shortcomings. Got to be little Ms. Perfect.

It is merely a stupid thing the school must have conjured up.
plushaeusrumpified: (help me help me i'm all out of lies)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-02-26 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The more this goes on, the more concerned he's starting to grow. It's clear that this is more than just some stupid castle shenanigan. It goes deeper than that, and it's almost scary, if only because he's concerned about Rose's well being. Considering the voice is saying some pretty fucked up shit, he's starting to wonder just how deep her insecurities go.

Like father like daughter, apparently.]


Rose... That voice. Are they your thoughts?

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-03-02 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not. [Rose bristles a bit and her shadow even cackles a bit at that. If she could punch you, she'd stick her wand in your eye, okay.]

It would be ridiculous of me to say and have such contradictory thoughts against myself.

Ohh, using big words to hide behind. You really are trying to pull out all the stops now.

They are bothersome at most.
plushaeusrumpified: (when your dreams all fail)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-03-16 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[At this point, Bro knows that Rose is lying, that these ARE her thoughts and that she's just trying to pretend otherwise. But god he doesn't know how to even approach this or deal with it. He doesn't know what's causing this, nor does he know what to do in order to get it to stop.]

Y'know... you could talk to me about this shit. Instead of hearing it from... whatever the fuck this is. You don't have to hide this shit.
seeringlight: Credit by <lj site="livejournal.com" user="battlerstears"> (This will just not do.)

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-03-17 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not possible.

[Rose speaks quickly.]

Ah, yes. Explain how you worked so hard to him! You really should. Let him no that you tried so hard thinking that one day he'll come back for you if you become the perfect little daughter.

Shut up.
plushaeusrumpified: (pic#5865630)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-03-26 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I-

[Oh.

Well if that's not like a punch in the stomach, he doesn't know what is. He didn't know it was like that at all. Suddenly every regret he's ever had about not being part of her life is being intensified a hundred times over.]


Rose, it... didn't have anything to do with you, you know that, right? I left because... [He hates talking about this so damn much. He shakes his head.] Not at all because of you, I swear.

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-03-28 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say it was about me. I understand. It happened and Mother raised me fine.

Ah yes, being a sarcastic and spiteful child means you are completely fine. So very fine. So many people are proud of you with your sharp tongue and stunning personality.

I was a child that didn't know better. I'm over it.

Even if all she ever wants is to know whether or not you're proud of her "accomplishments." If you could call them that.
plushaeusrumpified: (he was caught in a mudslide)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-04-04 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Wh--

[God this is all so much to take i, he barely even knows what to say. The voice just keeps growing louder, there's nothing stopping him from hearing it now. It's loud and clear, and it fucking hurts to hear this shit.]

You think I'm not proud of you?
seeringlight: Credit to <user name="pixelatedstardust"> (Lost to the dark.)

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-04-04 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I said nothing of the sort! Really, you would take the word of a conniving shadowlike bitch over my own?

[Even if it's basically the voice of all her insecurities.]

She's still trying to figure out where you two even stand much less what you think of her accomplishments. After all, how can a father love a daughter he's never had?
plushaeusrumpified: (that's cool)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-04-04 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rose's words hit him and he suddenly doesn't know what to think. It would be bad to take the shadow's words over his own, but... Somehow what they're saying, he feels like they much be true.]

Rose, I... Just because I wasn't there, it doesn't mean I don't love you. I love you just as much as I do Dave! I swear.

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-04-05 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
R-Really. This is quite enough! That accursed thing is making a folly of me. This is a well played joke. Ah yes! I'm laughing. [She let's out a few laughs, but they almost sound like sobs.]

I think we should all retire. You've done your damage, my fair little wretched, monstrous, lousy, disgusting piece of shit. [Is she referring to herself or it specifically.] Yes, I suppose what it says holds some truth. The silly fears of a small little girl that I long grew out and shed my skin to grow!
plushaeusrumpified: (when you feel my heat)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-04-05 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bro doesn't know what to do or what to even fucking say. Those laughs do sound like sobs and they go right to his heart, serving only to rip it into little tiny pieces. Here was this girl, one he admittedly barely even knew when you really got down to it, but who he loved unconditionally despite that. And here she is, clearly with so many issues all because of him. It's enough to make him feel like the world's biggest failure.

The only thing he can really bring himself to do is step forward, and- even though he's not sure it'll fix anything- wraps his arms around her and pull her close.]


I'm sorry... really fuckin' sorry.
seeringlight: Credit to <user name="federalists"> (Hold me tight.)

[personal profile] seeringlight 2013-04-18 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Rose slowly wraps her arms around Bro. And now she's actually sobbing. Because she didn't have these all her life from Bro, and this was such a ridiculous way to finally get it. And she just felt so incredibly weak and dumb. That this all amounted over a tiny insecurity that latched onto her.]

I wanted to make you so proud you'd come home. I thought if I just became the best at everything, you'd hear about it and return.

I was foolish.
plushaeusrumpified: (that's cool)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-04-22 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He's surprised when she hugs him. He... wasn't expecting that. He isn't complaining by any means! But she's been so guarded that he would've expected her not to want anything to do with hugging him, or showing any affection. But that doesn't stop him from giving her a squeeze, leaning down to press his face against her head softly.]

I've always been proud of you, e-even when I wasn't there... Rose, that's not foolish at all, either. But... But your mom used to send me letters, pictures, and every time I saw you, I was so proud of who you were becoming. I'm proud of who you are. I love you, Rosie.

[She buries her face against him. I hope you don't mind eyeliner. Rose has eyeliner on, sorry.]

Every Christmas I ask Santa for the same thing. I didn't even believe in him. [But she asked every year regardless. In hopes.]
