onlyjustiice:
The glare behind the mask was real, this wouldn’t be the first
someone thought he was crazy, but everyone in Gotham knew
who he was and knew what he did. He was the dark knight, the
caped crusader; he was B A T M A N. Everyone feared him &
some respected him to a certain extent but he didn’t have time
to prove some some girl he was legit.
“His name is Robin actually.” Batman said darkly, he didn’t like
it when people called him Birdboy, besides Robin didn’t like it
either and if he was here, oh boy would they have a field day.
“I’m not going to waste my time with you and trying to prove to
you I’m not crazy. My apologies for stalking you.” Of course he
wasn’t really stalking, but he didn’t want to argue at all.
“But I will ask this, have you heard of Superman? Wonderwoman?
maybe even The Flash?” How could anyone not know The Flash?
As public as he is? Staring at her, he thought of a good way to get
more information about her. Getting a name was out of the question
so he’d tried something else.
“You say you never heard of me where you come from, where is
that exactly?”
"Robin." She repeats, doing her best to not burst out laughing.
"Birdboy's name is Robin. Like --- robin, the bird species."
Rose stated in order to confirm she had heard correctly. "I'm
not the only one seeing the joke here, right? I mean --- either
he has a really good sense of humor or he's completely
unaware of the amount of jokes a person can make with that
name."
She truly didn't mean to insult anyone (not that she feared
repercussions; Rose only didn't want to offend) but her
brain to mouth filter was pretty much non-existent.
What she had to say, she would.
"Hey, I've heard of crazier things than a masked vigilante.
I wouldn't be surprised if you were one. Being a masked
vigilante doesn't cancel the possibility of you being crazy,
though." Rose lightly offers with a shrug.
"Like I said. Where I come from, we have more important
matters to attend to than masked people running around
and saving others. I haven't heard of any of them --- and
by the way, who comes up with these names? Is it the
press? Cuz they seriously suck."
She laughs (a very unladylike snort, more like it) at his question.
As if she was going to answer that to a complete stranger. "How
about we make a deal --- you take off the mask and I'll tell you."
Because why should she give such an information to a random
guy in a mask, right? Just like he very likely wouldn't want his
identity to be revealed, she saw no reason to share her origins.

“ You did. And now I’m strongly regretting not having
anything to record it. Must be both your boyfriend
and your new status rubbing off on you, Guardian
Hathaway. The job kind of requires being as lawful
as you can manage to. ” she teased, lightly elbowing
her friend — what must’ve felt like a breeze, really,
considering that even if she had wanted to, hitting
and kicking wasn’t her thing. “ What Sonya’s doing
with spirit, it’s helping, even if I don’t know whether
she realizes it or not. ” Lissa added, her tone
thoughtful. “ If there’s a way to simply stop people
from turning Strigoi, they won’t need more dhampirs.
Actually, it could even make your jobs easier too. ”
She twisted the fabric of her jacket between her
fingers, a small smile making the corners of her lips
twitch. “ If I could manage to, I probably would. ”
she admitted. “ As for the queen stuff, you guys
threw me in this by nominating me in the first place.
Or, Tasha, Adrian and Christian did. I don’t know if I
should thank them — except for Tasha — or curse
them. ”
“I resent that statement! I’m still a rule breaker at heart.
Some things just had to change. I like to think of myself
as simply evolving. I’m a grown ass woman now!”
Though her statement is the contrary of serious, the quirk
of her lips not allowing the facade of seriousness to remain
for long. “It’s not about making the job easier. I knew what I
was signing up for when I decided I wanted to become your
Guardian, Lissa. I know the dangers, all dhampir guardians
know the danger --- It’s about keeping you safe. You and
everyone that could potentially become strigoi, that could be
attacked. That and make sure that you can be happy with your
magic. Spirit users like you and Adrian, you go through too
much to end up afraid of doing the least thing with what you
can do.” Rose offers with a firm nod before lightly nudging
Lissa’s shoulder, a grin appearing as she words escape her
lips. “Oh, shush! You like it! It’s a lot of work, granted, but you
belong on that throne. My best friend is the most kick ass queen
that has ever sat on that throne.”

goldeniolanthe:
Sydney laughed, hugging Rose back,
lingering for a second before pulling
away. ❝ About as good as anybody
can be in my line of work. And you?
Still creating trouble? ❞
Rose shakes her head, a very serious expression
overcoming her features. “Oh, no! Haven’t you heard?
I’m a very respectful and extreme rule follower guardian
now.” She pauses for dramatic effect before bursting out
laughing. “Nah, still the same Rose you met in a foreign
country. Except now I have more rules to break.”

stubbornstrumpet:
she’d once been well versed in switching dialects on a whim. when
the vampiress had travelled the world without a destination, she had
quickly ( or rather, so it seemed to a thousand year old vampire )
found herself fluent in many, many languages, and at least FAMILIAR
with most. the last c e n t u r i e s however had given the blonde
little need to use any of them, and instead she’d turned her attention
to adjusting to all the technology she had missed out on.
❝ russian’s never come easily. it’s easier to ASSUME people
will accommodate than attempt it. ❞
rebekah laughed, e n t i r e l y to herself. had her brothers been
there, it would have been THEM she chatted idly in english to,
intentionally surrounding themselves with those who wouldn’t
understand them. not that the girl was the worst company in the
world — so far. with a passing glance at the man attending the bar
in order to catch his attention, she tapped the wood beside her empty
glass & silently motioned for another.
❝ how lovely. do you often come to bars to completely
kill the mood? ❞
russian was not, in fact, a language she knew much of. the few words she
could speak in such a language had been taught to her by the man she'd
come to bring peace to, terms of endearment, not meant to be used in a
bar unless you intended on SEDUCING someone --- considering the current
situation rose found herself in, that was the last thing running through her mind.
"my russian's a bit rusty --- not to mention i know little of it in the
first place. tried to order COFFEE yesterday and they brought me
cheese & crackers."
a quirk of her lips at the blonde's words on her mood --- the first attempt at a
smile in days, if not weeks. rose finally lifts the glass, taking a small sip of
the amber liquid, the burning sensation it provided & bitter after taste a
distraction from what she knew she had to do soon --- she'd come so far
to do that exactly and wouldn't back down even if it KILLED her.
"every so often I enjoy being the debby downer of a place. i'm always
such a ray of sunshine that i give myself a rest day. whiskey is my
companion for today’s episode of rose’s stupid mistakes. i don’t even
like this crap, to be honest!!"

‘You do realize,I still have my cellphone?What’s going on Rose?’Said Girl had been a visitor at her old Highschool for a few months,and they had struck up a friendship solely because she had seen through the compulsion Lissa had been putting on everyone for the lack of information she had been giving.
“Yeah, I know. I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to just disappear like that. The unexpected and unwanted happened.” She’d meant to call Clary as she and Lissa ran away from the Guardians that had come to retrieve them, but she hadn’t exactly managed to escape in the first place. And in between the lack of a cellphone at the Academy and finishing her training --- no contact. “The Guardians found us and took us back. After that it was kinda hard to escape at all. They had all eyes on us.”

gloryandgcre:
“Ladys don’t punch people, Rose. Another proof that you’re definitely not one. ___ Nah, thank you but my pet is cool where he is. After all, you like the couch, don’t you?”
“Ah, there is is --- the proof I needed that you haven’t met a lady yet, cuz y’know, ladies do punch, and they don’t fool around when they do. I’m more than available to show you. For educational purposes, of course. --- Being your pet would imply you own me. And I’m my own person, no one owns me. So keep calling me your pet and I’ll show you how hard a dhampir can bite.”
