[It's very rare that Rose graces the network in Wonderland, only having appeared once since she arrived here. That in and of itself makes this particular video rather curious. The subject at hand, likely one that's playing on everyone's mind but has Rose looking more than a little unsettled, despite her attempts to play at casual.

Clearly, she thinks the best way to deal right now, is to attempt to overdose on sugar; A plate piled high with an assortment of pastries, appearing in the corner of the shot.]

So... That whole thing with the Wonderland that wasn't really Wonderland?

[Her eyes narrow, teeth running over her lower lip as she carefully considers what she wants to say before giving it voice.]

We're all in agreement that it didn't really mean anything, right? It was just some, fake, alternate... you know, thing?

[She's obviously reaching but all this 'sciencey crap' is way outside of Rose's wheelhouse.]

Another one of Wonderland's stupid little mind games. [The unmistakable air of somebody trying to convince herself.

Rose breaks off a large chunk of a donut and pops it into her mouth, a flicker of doubt creeping in as she chews slowly.]

Right?

[Rose considers if she should maybe speak up on Simon's behalf right now but... really?!]

I mean, he'll live. [What?! He could survive a bullet to the foot just fine.] Though, he'll still probably whine a lot and then Jo will have to wait on him. Better to go the shoulder. He only needs one arm to pour beers.

Good point. I like the way you think. Smug bastard could use some humblin' anyway.

[he says it out of love, okay. he already promised he'd take Jo and Simon into space with him if he can.]

[Rose was pro-Simon as well, which said much considering he was what she called one of those 'pro-Wonderlanders'.]

Especially now that I have to apologize to him. [She really hates saying sorry, okay.] Maybe you could shoot him before I do and then he'll be too drugged up to remember I did it.

[I mean she sounds like she' probably joking. Maybe.]

At least he'll learn to stop usin' his buddies as a flarkin' yard stick to measure how weird shit is here.

In his defense? [She probably doesn't need to say it.]

You're a talking raccoon. [But she will.]

[DISGRUNTLED GROWLING]

There's a talkin' lizard, and he don't even make sense half the time!

It's the lack of sense that still keeps you at number one, sorry.

[I mean. There is a fucking pidgeon. That probably trumps all.]

[WHY IS HE A FREAK EVERYWHERE HE GOES.]

Well, ain't I lucky to be number one in somethin'.

And there's worse titles to have. You could have been the number one idiot?

Heh. Not likely. I'm one of the smartest people in this joint.

Of course, you are. [She's being serious.] You're a talking raccoon.

[I mean, she means it as a compliment?!]

I'm not a- [why does he bother. it does take him a second to realize that IS a compliment and not a facetious statement, though it does twinge a little.] Yeah, well- at least this freakin' enhanced brain they gave me almost makes the whole thing worth it.

[Meet Rose's 'Huh' face.]

Gave you?! Like, some mad scientist when to town inside your head or something?

[full. body. cringe. and a growl for good measure.]

Somethin' like that, yeah.

[Okay so. Sensitive topic. Check.]

Wow... that sucks. [Understatement of the century Rose, but again it's sincere; commiseration as opposed to pity.]

Oh yeah. Sucks is definitely the word for it.

[even after three years stuck in this place and also QUILL, he has no idea what to do with things that aren't pity or insults. how do.]

[She thinks about all this for a quiet moment and then finally comes out with;]

Do you know any different?

Know any different from what? Bein' like this?

[he bristles a bit.] I remember what they had to do to me. Not a whole lot about the time before.

[they made a point to raise his cognitive functions first, just so they didn't waste any resources on something that wouldn't be smart enough to put them to good use. efficient for them- terrible for him. at least an animal can't have an existential crisis about why that's happening.]
