[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

Hello, hello!

Rosy speaking! Umm, where do I begin?

Oh, I know! I'm a traveler, looking for new worlds to explore and new friends to make! I've been traveling between dimensions for a while, but I can't get enough! Just, um, don't... think too deeply about how that works, hehe.

I hope we can get along! I bet all my friends would love to meet you...

[LOG 1]

Rosy The "Hedgehog" is an interdimentional entity that seems to believe she is an alternative Amy Rose. Her external body is nothing more than a husk created to contain the ever-spreading infectious plant matter underneath. Traveling from world to world, her thorny vines sprout and overtake every place that she stays in for too long. She seems to regard infected as nothing more than collateral damage.

Rosy is a devout admirer of other beings she sees as powerful, most notably, X and similar exes. She exhibits similar behavior as well, occasionally taking victims as her "friends" and toying with them until they expire.

Do not take her friendly act at face value. She knows what she is doing.

[LOG 2]

Occasionally, her internal matter outgrows her external shell, breaking through and taking over her body. She is more unstable during this process, often retreating into an isolated world until she is able to get the overgrowth under control.

How do you handle being stretchy? Sometimes it's hard to keep my face in place...

- @rosy-the-hedgeflower

Well, friend, you need not worry!

アドビル。 Stubborn limbs are for those who need restraints!

Why fight a freedom?

We all are outside of the cage, you just need to see it.

:)

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

That's...

I- I guess you're right. Maybe I'm just not looking at this the right way.

Thank you!

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

(Still, Rosy can't help but feel uneasy.)

(She wants to be helpful, just like any Amy would. But what is it even worth if she can't truly feel it?)

(She doesn't know what compassion or affection or even love is. And she may never even know.)

(Every Amy is defined for their love. Not only for any one specific person, but for the world around them as well.)

(Rosy is not.)

...

(The flower in her eye droops.)

[the-exe-cutioner]

I do wonder if you could actually kill me, though.

Not that I'm going to reveal my secret as to how, hehe.

That is not an invitation, by the way- don't try it-

🌹

I'm assuming I'd need to destroy your garden.

Or you may have an internal structure of your body that needs to be destroyed, like a core.

I could find out easily, and kill you even easier.

But why would I?

You've been polite so far, answered my questions, and haven't gotten in my way.

And your soul does not create noise.

It makes me wonder if you have one at all.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

I don't think I do, no.

(Rosy shrugs.)

There could be an argument made that the flowers do, but since they're all a part of me... even that's hard to tell. It's not like... I can really tell.

(A brief gloomy look overtakes her eyes, but she quickly clasps her hands together and flashes a bright smile.)

But! That means this is easier for both of us, right? Sooo, I don't see a reason to dwell on it!

And hey, you've been pretty nice, yourself. Thank you.

[the-exe-cutioner]

You may not see a reason too, but I will do it if I please.

No ill intent, I just wish to know as much as I can about those around me, in case anyone tries to betray me.

Executioner sees nothing wrong with this statement, despite the beings clear trust issues.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

Oh, I don't plan to!

There's just... not that much to see, really. I'm not really that strong, or even scary...

(Nothing like them.)

(She shakes the thought out of her head.)

But hey, if it helps you feel better, I don't mind. I don't have much to hide, anyway.

[the-exe-cutioner]

Would you like to be more scary?

If you are able to alter your "shell," I could give you tips if you'd like.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

You'd do that for me? What a sweetheart~

I can change it a bit, yeah. Not too drastically, though, that risks damaging the flowers- like doubling in size or something.

But, um... well-

(She unhinges her jaw way too easily. And it keeps dropping, and dropping, and dropping- until she manually puts it back into place.)

It's a shell. Anything purely external is fine.

[the-exe-cutioner]

Impressive.

Yes, I do have a few tips then.

Have you ever heard of the "Uncanny Valley?" Perhaps research it, you'll get the idea.

It makes many people uncomfortable, and some even terrified.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

Oh! Yes, I heard of it while looking into Re-

I-I mean. Um.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

[the-exe-cutioner]

Rewrite, you mean?

Don't feel embarrassed.

I also research other "Exes" in depth, although most definitely for different reasons than you.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

That's why it's embarrassing...!

(She puffs up her cheeks. It's almost comical.)

You have your whole complicated reasons, I'm just- kind of a copycat. That's it, really.

[the-exe-cutioner]

Who of us isn't?

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

I... I guess...

No, you're right. I'm just being silly, hehe.

I'm happy you still give me a chance even with all our differences, at least. I'll try to be worth your trust!

[the-exe-cutioner]

I don't trust anyone, so don't think it's a failing on your end.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

That's gotta be lonely, though.

(Of course she would know.)

(She shakes that thought away too.)

Right?

[the-exe-cutioner]

....At times.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

See? I can help, if you'll let me.

But don't worry too much about it, I get it. Really.

[the-exe-cutioner]

Don't worry, my dear... You're safe with me.

(She smiles to seemingly nobody in particular. Her cheeks feel deformed. She briefly pats down her own face, and manually pulls the corners of her mouth back into place. They had been almost reaching the fake quills at the sides of her head.)

Why... am I so out of it today?

(She sighs, putting her gardening shears down. She looks around briefly, at her ever-expansive garden. Her beloved garden. Her friends. Herself.)

(It's nothing like any of the countless worlds she's visited.)

(She's nothing like them.)

(She will never be one of them.)

(She knows this.)

...

(She shakes her head, and picks up the shears again. There's still work to do. She doesn't have time for these silly thoughts.)

(She has all the time in the world. All by herself.)

[ask-lord-x]

I think your kid wants me dead what do I do :(

Executioner picks up a rock, turns it into solid tungsten, and throws it in your direction.

B-be quiet.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

(Rosy giggles as she ducks out of the way- just in time.)

It's true, though! I'm happy to meet anyone new.

Take your time. It's alright.

[the-exe-cutioner]

Why are you being so nice to me?

What is your motive?

Why are you like this?

What do you want from me?

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

Um!

(Squeak.)

Oookay, one thing at a time... heh...

It's just how I am! And, I-I do admire beings like you a lot, but that's for another time-

That's it! I don't want anything, honest!

[the-exe-cutioner]

Fine.

I assume you have questions about me, or you probably wouldn't have come here.

Executioner gestures to the barren wasteland that used to be Station Square.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

Can't I just pay a visit? Ehe.

But, I suppose there is something. I knew of your existence, but I don't know... much of anything else, really. What's your deal?

[the-exe-cutioner]

Extinction.

I crave it.

I can hear the souls of every being pulsing, and it hurts.

It's so... loud.

I just want it to stop.

I want to be all that's left.

I just want peace and quiet.

[rosy-the-hedgeflower]

Ah, I... see. Hm.

(Rosy looks away, willing the writhing plant mass within her to still as much as possible.)

That definitely explains a lot... I'm sorry. It can't be easy.
