FIRST IMPRESSIONS for both of mine.

[threadspinner]

AWWWWW YEAH

Tavros -- Well Rose thought he was very kind! Which is good, because honestly she was a little terrified that there would be no one who remembered her, or was even from her universe. She sees him as one of her very good friends, mostly based on the fact that he's so polite to her. tl;dr SHE THINKS HE'S SUPER FRIENDLY AND WANTS TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM '-'

Erika: a little ridiculous! Rose actually thought of her as one of those opinionated younger sibling types, someone who is overbearing but has a good heart. But overall her impression was really positive, and she hoped to become friends with Erika, too! But in a different way than Tavros, trying to look after her rather than being on equal terms.

SHOULD YOU ALSO WANT A QUESTION: First impressions of Rose '-'

[godfatherly]

Impressions/relationship!

[threadspinner]

OH MAN okay so Rose's first impression wasn't....great...........at all! She thought he was pretty stuck up and she wasn't entirely sure of why he was that way. But there's something tenacious about Rose, even so -- she was determined to kill him with intelligence rather than kindness, because be it far from her power to let someone call her (or assume she is) an in idiot and not try and rectify it in some way. BUT NOW.....Rose actually thinks that Shiny is pretty bearable. '-' She might even consider him a friend -- she's not quite sure, but her impressions of him as he's been teaching her how to write have grown rather positive, and after the last game she is starting to realize that maybe she's becoming fond of him maybe?? She was worried that he might be hurt, which has to count for something.

She still hasn't decided what to call him yet names are pending.

DO YOU WANT A QUESTION

[godfatherly]

SURE GIVE ME A QUESTION

if rose wants his real name, she needs to talk to ruby, tiger's eye, or nii. there's a good smattering of people who use "shiny" too. but he won't tell anyone his dumb nickname, and can't tell anyone his real name, so it's... an odd situation namewise...

Impressions of Rose! '-' Specifically now that I am reading this book and seeing a little more about why I think they get along.

Impressions on Emilatosk/Euphy?

[threadspinner]

EMILIATOSK oh god she's so conflicted. Rose wants more than anything at this point to accept people for who they are -- something that, from her memories so far, she hasn't been very good at (this is something she wants to change). So even though Emil is a sweetheart and she cares for him a lot, even though they've only been on the same team for a little while, Ratatosk is....whoo. She really IS sorry about sitting on him! She also wants to understand him better, because she feels like a lot of Peridot might not actually WANT to do that. Just hoping that that game didn't fuck everything up. She really didn't mean to yell at him.

Euphy is adorable and Rose wants to be best friends with her and also yes they are so cute. So cute.

Also, what is Emilatosk's impression of Daisy?

[silentknight]

Impressions of Cass?

[threadspinner]

TEAM MOM........

Rose wishes that Cass wasn't so hard on herself, for starters. A lot of what Rose is learning here in aather is based a lot on what she sees from her team, so even though she WISHES that her team were better at the whole "let's blame other people" shindig, she's actually internalizing this mechanism too. So in a sense, Cass is someone to look up to as a role model, for good or bad, who can tell? Definitely good in the way that she's take charge, and a leader without meaning to be in a sense. But Rose isn't sure if she really WANTS to have that many issues, and wishes she could make Cass' life easier.

tl;dr one day rose will bake cass a cake and they can eat their feelings away

THOUGHTS ON DAISY

[unionoftheheart]

It's the first impressions brigade! \o/

[threadspinner]

AHHHH TEAMMATE Daisy has so many feelings about Ven! Mostly because he is like Team Big Brother, and really looks out for her. Which she is extremely appreciative of, because she would be totally lost without him. Literally, since he took her on that tour. Her first impression was along the lines of "wow I really like this person and I think they would be a good one to look up to."

Also that he seems to play most of the games that she does really helps with that.

Impressions on Daisy?

Rose's thoughts on the last game?

[threadspinner]

SHE HATED IT unless you mean the dress-up Mother game which I only got to play very briefly before I was called away to do real world things. In which case, SHE LOVED IT. It was a nice reprieve from reality.

But assuming that you mean the Jabberwock game.....
Rose hated it for many reasons: she hates being forced to make a choice that might ultimately doom them (mostly as a visceral reaction to her suicide mission memory, which she still doesn't understand and isn't sure if she WANTS to). She hates that other teams have to be put in jeopardy because of Peridot's actions. She hates that she can't save everyone that's important to her, and especially hates that Iolite died -- mostly for selfish reasons, because she couldn't catch the Attack stones before they fell onto the board. Rose is really cursing her clumsiness, her slowness; maybe if she had more skills back, this wouldn't have happened, you know?

Especially since one of her friends was on Iolite (or at least, someone who is quickly becoming a friend) and so she feels especially guilty. She will probably make the entire team "forgive me for what I wasn't able to do" hats.

It was not a fun victory. She honestly doesn't think that Peridot deserved to win, with how much drama they had and how much feelings jenga they played. The cookie she got from Jabberwock is sitting in Peridot, probably getting musty under her pillow.

Initial impressions of Rose?

[sticksofthejedi]

Jaina thinks Rose is an intelligent young woman. She's honestly a little unsure how to approach her because Jaina's first trauma game had her push a button to torture Lelouch and she ended up watching. So there's still some of her own Peridot guilt.

Anyway! Rose seems nice, and Jaina would love to get to know her more. Like most kids that have positive impressions, she does kind of want to look out for Rose, because that's...what she does! Rose is nice, she shouldn't have to deal with watching others painfully revive, or suffer that herself, etc. Which actually helped her keep from freezing up after Jabberwock's game, because it gave her something she needed to focus on: can't freeze up, Rose is right there and looking miserable, there are others that need worried about.

-EDITED FOR QUESTION SWITCH I never did ask what Rose thinks of Jaina. XD
