John. We need to talk.

option a;

[Rose is in the training center, fighting some of the weaker monsters. she takes them down easily enough, but doesn't seem to notice or care that they're dead. she continues to pound into them, her face completely impassive as she inflicts greater and greater damage on their still forms. obviously whatever she's looking for from this fight wasn't present]

option b;

[some time later she's in the library, knitting furiously at something as she pours over a book. her focus is completely on the book, however, and she's oblivious to the fact that some of her yarn has rolled off the table and into the heavy traffic area of the floor. you'd better be careful, it's too easy to twist an ankle in this stuff and go down.]

Haha! Nah, they don't! I've only been here for a few night so far though, so maybe they haven't found my room yet.

[...waiiiit a minute]

How few nights are we talking about?

Like three or four I think?

[squinting at him SO HARD] You are John Egbert, aren't you?

Er... yes?

[It feels like SHE'S STARING INTO HIS SOUL :( ]

[A COMPLETELY POSSIBLE THING]

...I think that alternate universes are in play here again.

Oh crap! [HE KEEPS FORGETTING TO CHECK.]

Sorry, I just - cause you're Rose, I just figured you were my Rose and. Wow, sorry! You're like the younger me, right?

[HEAD. TILT.]

I've run into another John who corresponds with the frame of events I'm used to accepting as my timeline, so I suppose the answer to that is yes.

Yeah, that's the one! Wearing that blue shirt with the squiggle and can do that awesome windy thing? That's younger me!

I guess I'm... uh, present me? Or older me... one of the two!

Alternate John. [firmly. thinking otherwise leads to headaches and unfortunate implications]

I suppose that given the large number of Daves scurrying about it was only a matter of time before you started doubling up as well.

Woah, there are more Daves? Maybe my Dave is around here!

[That would be super cool. He misses his friends!]

There are three Daves wandering about, the last I bothered to take a tally. Who knows if any of them fit into the puzzle of your universe's makeup?

I hope one of them does... it would be nice to talk to somebody who didn't think I was all weird and old.

I can only imagine what you've been doing to give that impression to people.

Nothing bad, I hope!

Are you thirteen too?

I wouldn't know, considering that I've only technically just met you. But yes, I'm still thirteen.

Aw, baby Rose.

[um excuse me no] And yet still mature enough to fool you into thinking I was the Rose who corresponds with your universe. Funny how things work out.

Yeah, I know right?

The Rose I know is seventeen. Nearly eighteen, though!

I'm a bit skeptical of her faculties if she hasn't changed much in coming close on to five years.

She has, she's a drum major too!

...dare I even ask why she thought that would be a beneficial step to bettering herself and her future?

She was in color guard for a bit if that makes you feel better.

We all joined marching band about three years ago, I think? Three or four!

...why?

It was just something we did!

It's really cool, I'm glad we did.
