SECOND SONG ♫ TEXT

[hasitsthorns]

[ At some time that is far too late for probably anyone to be awake, a message comes across the network.

God, how she's missed being able to text. ]

Have you ever done something you regret? That you're ashamed of?
Maybe it's a lot of things. It is for me.

How do you deal with that now?
Did you find a way to make it better or did you just ignore it until it went away?
(The latter is my strategy. Hasn't worked out so well, let me tell you.)

I have trouble sometimes with it all still.
I try to do better, but...
Trying only gets you so far sometimes.

It's not exactly something I'm proud of.

[ Nor would she call her most powerful asset; Rose doesn't want that to be what she's known for. Not anymore. ]

But, I mean. What would you suggest?

[ Suppression is about the only tactic she knows nowadays. It's served her well (no, it hasn't) so far. ]

[hasitsthorns]

It wasn't always.

[ Kite made her what she is now; it's something she'll never forgive him for. He may be dead and buried, but he deserved worse for the pain her inflicted on her and others. ]

-But, yeah, alright. Fair point. [ A dramatic sigh. ] I hate having to figure stuff out, man. It sucks.

[ Understatement of the year award goes to... ]

[hasitsthorns]

It is!

[ Life is hard, etc. Dramatic throw up of her arms inserted here. ]

Whenever I gotta' make big decisions, they go bad. So I just stopped deciding things and let fate take control. [ ... Granted, 'fate' is what led her to a life half-lived and Haven. Now Hadriel, too. So. Fate kind of blows as well. ]

I'm always a wreck, dude.

[ It's just been showing more lately. And she meant it as a joke, but... There's a bit too much truth there for it to really be funny. ]

Yeah, I mean. I figured what with the whole faux fight thing.
