As things are starting to die down, Raphael took the time to speak with her new roommate, potentially in their own room.
“Oh, Rosemary,” she gave the goth woman a friendly wave, “I had been meaning to ask you something.” She walked up over to her, “Your style as I said before is so sleek, where to you usually shop at?”
She gave a friendly smile, though looked as though she had something else she’s meaning to bring up.

Rosemary perked up as she heard her name being called, and as she saw Raphael, she warmly smiled.
"Hey, Raph," she greeted, eyebrow raised in curiosity as she wondered what Raphael had to ask.
"Heh, much appreciated. As for where I shop... well, I go with whatever catches my fancy. Hot Topic is a pretty common stop for me, as is VampireFreaks. I just love how I look like this, y'know? Feels more... me, I guess. Ooh, I am gonna have to get used to not dyeing my hair, though, 'cause I forgot to bring some... Hopefully this one lasts," she chuckled.

Raphael noted the locations, then gestured to the side, “I did see we could buy items at the shop under a 100 dollars. Perhaps you could get some dye there too? Also are these chains regional to where you are from?” She actually could really tell where Rosemary was from, but from her accent knew it had to be in the UK, probably. “Well I definitely know I’ve seen Hot Topic in Cali, I’ve gotten some stuff from there myself but VampireFreaks is new to me.”
She then looked Rosemary up and down, “It definitely is a look that stands out, and I’m sure the Goth look is very much popular with the audience….” She said a bit cryptically. “We really do have a unique cast of people here in general…. I know I’m no exception.” She scratched the side of her head, awkwardly.

"Ooh, true that. Though it does cost four points, so... guess that's more incentive for me to earn some, yeah?" Rosemary chuckled. At Raphael's question, she idly twirled with a lock of hair, thinking it over.
"Oh, VampireFreaks is a fully online thing. I just order shit I want and they deliver it. And thanks, I'm glad I stand out," she said with a smile.
"I just don't like going with what everyone else is going with, you know? I wanna be unique and my own person, not some fuckin' tosser who just conforms to everything and is never happy 'cause of it. I'm glad that everyone else here is so unique, too. You included, Raph. Again, I dig your style, mate."

“No kidding, it seems like that’s the only way to get my cigarettes too. Though, spending implies losing them,” She gritted her teeth in annoyance.
She then sighed and moved on. “That’s convenient, I’ll have to see where they all ship to then.” She nodded to herself, “Thank you, admittedly, I only adapted my style more recently, before…..I actually used to be more of a tomboy. Athletic wear was always my go too. Did a lot of sports as well. Well anyways….our group is certainly….unique here. Definitely the opposite of conformity.”

"Ah, true. I'd love to get shitfaced with some good stuff, but I'd rather keep my points," Rosemary said, nodding in agreement.
She smiled as Raphael mentioned her previous clothing style, clearly finding it appealing.
"Athletic wear, eh? Bet you rock that, too, mate. What kinda sports did you play?" she asked, genuine curiosity in her voice.

“No kidding I could absolutely go for a drink right now….” Raph sighed dreamily, clearly having a few other habits then her smoking, it seems.
“Oh?” She scratched the side of her head, laughing awkwardly, “cross country and track and field mostly….I was really good at running. I also did a few other things in the field part of track like pole vaulting, and long and triple jump.” She closed her eyes awkwardly recalling the memories. “I mostly did these activities in middle school so don’t be too impressed, I know it’s a different level when you get too high school-“

"Oh, no, I'm definitely impressed! Track and field isn't easy, at least from what I know. The only experience I have with, like, physical activity was stunt training for movies and such," Rosemary chuckled.
"But yeah, I've heard that high school in America is a whole different story than what came before. Secondary school for me was a whole lot different than upper, I'll tell you that much."

“Indeed, I tend to forget our schooling was different being from different countries….. though uh you did stunt work?” She seemed a bit surprised she was able to brush over that so quickly. “That feels way more impressive than my running…..”

"Heh, more than stunt work, mate. I like to do my own stunts in the movies and shows I'm in! Though, uh, granted, I'm not really a super popular actress. My parents were pretty famous, but, well... a fire happened on set. I was away, but they were there, so... you can put two and two together, I'm sure."
Rosemary frowned a bit at the memory, but it only remained for a moment as she smiled again.
"Buuut, some friends of theirs took me in, so I continued on! Most leading roles have been in really low budget horror, slasher, and action films, but I was hoping signing up for this would give me a chance to get my name out there. Least, before the whole bullshit about being trapped here started..."
She sighed and shook her head.
"But enough about me. You shouldn't sell yourself short, Raph! Track ain't easy. It's something you should be proud of being able to do."

Raphael seemed a bit sick hearing about the fire, “Is that so….. my parents went the same way…. And I almost did too….” She mumbled a bit, then shook her head.
“Well it seems like you bounced back fairly quickly…. I mostly watch horror movies myself, I suppose I need to widen my watch list….”

"Eesh. For whatever it's worth, I'm sorry that happened to you, Raph. It's good that you were at least able to make it out."
Rosemary frowned a bit, saddened by the thought, before she perked back up again at the mention of movies.
"Hey, maybe we can see if this place has any movies or shows I've starred in! I'd say my biggest role was probably a remake of Texas Chain Saw Massacre I starred in as Sally. Fuckin' love that movie, so I jumped at the chance to audition."

“Oh? I heard about the remake but I only seen the original. Still wouldn’t it be kind of too ironic for them to have movies starring one of the members of their…reality show here? I’d find that more creepy than flattering myself…. Then again, I doubt it’d ever get into acting in the first place.” She thought to herself, “If you are playing a character from Texas, you must be able to hide your accent pretty well?”

"Meh, maybe. Still though, I had a bloody blast filming the movie."
At the mention of her accent, Rosemary smiled and nodded.
"Why, I certainly can!" she replied in a pitch perfect Midwestern accent, with just a bit of southern twang mixed in. "It takes a lot of practice, but hey, once you get it down, it becomes second nature."
She paused for a moment before chuckling.
"Faking an accent for long periods of time is difficult though, I'll admit," she said, back in her native English accent.

Raphael whistled and applauded, “Amazing…..I’d return the favor by trying to do an English accent but it would be executed nearly as well….” She laughed awkwardly.

"Heheh, thank you. I like to practice accents in my spare time, but the only ones I've really gotten down are American Midwestern and Russian. And, well, my natural voice."
Rosemary grinned, raising an eyebrow at Raphael.
"C'moooon, now I wanna hear it," she snorted.

She coughed awkwardly, “Umm….. Eyyy..Governa’” she shook her head, “Yeah well clearly I’m no professional….” She covered her mouth, and turned away a bit embarrassed.

Rosemary paused for a moment, stared at Raphael... before unable to hold back her laughter anymore, loudly guffawing. After her brief fit of laughter subsided, she still couldn't help but grin.
"S-Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't laugh... A for effort, at least," she said. "Thanks for humoring me, though, Raph."
