Rumblr-Lifestyles of the Rich and Pointless

[rose_liberated]

Rozalin had not intended for things to get like this. She was simply...playing with her new toys. Namely, her professionally decorated penthouse, her outrageously expensive customized smartphone, and the Internet. Which was, after all, for uploading pictures of her dresses, her decorations, her incredibly expensive art and all the rest. After all, was not all media for self-glorification on some level? People would see this and understand how utterly powerful she was, to have so many beautiful and useless things.

So why was everyone seemingly intent on mocking her ruthlessly in the comments section after that one rumblr had taken her photos and posted them on it's main page? Like any Internet warrior convinced people are wrong Rozalin taps out her missive to the universe, powered by pure vitrol.

Needless to say, it would not end well.

[OOC: Rozalin has posted pictures of wealth that would make a Russian Oligarch blanch at the waste of it. Your character comments on said wealth and earns an inept flame from Rozalin. Things escalate from there. I encourage everyone to use their imagination for exactly what Rozalin has in her penthouse that's so crazy and outrageous.]

I am Evangeline Anastasia Katherine McDowell, and I've known Venture City for a very, very long while.

[rose_liberated]

... Well, I suppose I can't expect much more without an introduction of my own. I am Rozalin. Er, Rozalin Nonez.

[Because seriously, it's an impenetrable code to spell your mom's name backwards as your surname. Nobody would EVER know that you are a demon on the basis of that, right?]

[high_on_daylight]

A fake last name, then? You had to run from something, I presume.

[Evangeline's little guess, is all.]

[rose_liberated]

[The choking noise Rozalin makes is almost inaudible before she opens the door fully. She has schooled her features to not give the whole game away.]

I suppose you think you are clever.

[high_on_daylight]

No, no. There is an important difference that will help you immensely to understand, if you wish to stay safe here.

I know I am clever.

[rose_liberated]

The difference between the two being merely a matter of confidence.

So why the sudden interest in me? I mean, I am glorious and wonderful, but you seem...underwhelmed.

[high_on_daylight]

In truth? You're just interesting enough to be worth meeting and talking to a little. Perhaps we could even be truthfully of use to one another, after all.

Up to you if she can detect any magic from the gun.

[rose_liberated]

Very high standards you have, if even I just barely pass the threshold of acceptable conversation. But I don't really have any agenda that I would need someone to be used for.

She's not signaling if she's noticed or not.

[high_on_daylight]

Oh?

Then what, might I ask, has brought you out to Venture City, in particular?

[rose_liberated]

I simply...well, I haven't come here for any particular reason at all, other than to gain some time to think.

[high_on_daylight]

You sure chose a busy place to think. And brought a lot of money with you in the process.

Some people go out into the woods with little more than one backpack's worth of things for that.

[rose_liberated]

I...I prefer a life of comfort to living on sticks and twigs and granola.

And perhaps I will move on if things grow too noisy here.

[high_on_daylight]

Hrm. Fair enough.

But you've definitely picked an interesting place to come. And with so much money and no explanation as to where it came from, either. That always draws attention.

[rose_liberated]

Does there have to be an explanation for everything? Can a woman have no mysteries about her in this day and age?

[She didn't exactly pick this place as a destination or anything but...no sense in telling.]

[high_on_daylight]

One can have many mysteries... But one should also be cautious that the answer to those mysteries not bring them ruin when discovered.

[rose_liberated]

And you are going to do your best to discover those mysteries? Or have you other motivations?

[high_on_daylight]

Eh. Nah.

You seem more interesting to talk to than a lot of the locals, is all. Though you may have some work to do rebuilding your reputation.

[rose_liberated]

Hmmm. Well I suppose if it's stirring conversation you want I can hardly deny it to you.

[high_on_daylight]

It does seem that you've quite the space. Have you furnished a parlor yet, if I may ask?
