She almost snapped at the mention of their not very motherly parent, balling her fingers into fists. Though, she didn’t walk away or yell at her or anything. That twinge of sarcasm on the ends of her elder sister’s words. ‘Mommy dearest”. It was silly, but those words almost made her crack a smile.
She couldn’t run from her past, her family. She couldn’t cry every time it was brought up.
"Feferi, do you think you could get mommy’s signature?"
"No."
It repeated this way throughout her early life, until a forge was needed. Her procter would always ask why there was no contact information. She would lie, say she didn’t own a cell phone, say she didn’t work, didn’t know their address.
She was all to used to it. But she couldn’t avoid it. Seeing joyful overflowing families with smiles on their faces, leaves a bit of remorse for Feferi, a part of her wishing she hadn’t left. But even though, their family wouldn’t be happy, everyone was fucked up.
Her caramel eyes softened at her sibling’s last words, a sincere smile on her face.
"Hi" she said childishly
She'll return the smile, a bit happily. Well..Maybe this had gone a bit better than she had expected.
"So how are you enjoying college,Feferi?" She asks,tilting her head.
Personally, Meenah hated college but None could be the wiser. The pool and the swim team were probably the best parts about this place. Not to mention the fact It was close to some of her favorite places. Like the beach. Aw shell, Gotta love the beach
Another question. "Make any friends?"
So. (closed starter)
"Awesome. I am getting good at this." Striding forward, she assumed the sharply energetic girl would follow. "You planning on doing competitive swimming? Heard SU’s team is pretty good."
She followed ,tilting her head a bit. First time she heard of a swim team. "Probably will. Was on it for two years in highschool anyways, so why not?" It's not like meenah wouldn't blow the team out of water with her skills.

She exhaled. Her brows knitting in annoyance as her attention wanders from her book to over to the towering girl. Rose doesn’t bother to correct her on her quirk no matter how weird it seemed. Really, did she use somefin? Instead she dog-ears the page she’s on and devotes her attention to the stranger.
“You’re half-correct.” Rose states in a bored tone, trying her best to make it sound like the comment didn’t bug her. Because face it, she was highly embarrassed about being attacked out of the blue like that. “I am more accustomed to torpid waters rather than waves that seem to be rather temperamental. Though to answer your question, yes, I haven’t been near the actual ocean water if it wasn’t obvious enough.”
And looks like she just got the stranger's full attention! Congratulations, She might be able to have some fun with this.
Meenah blinks at that, raising an eyebrow at the short girl. She scoffs,"Wasn't too obvious until you fell down. Did it even occur to you to,y'know, get the heck out of the way when the guy shouted to watch out?" Her eyebrows knit together,"or did you just freeze up or something?" The stranger could have been hit by a surf board or dragged out to sea if the wave had been any bigger.
Her eyes go to the stranger's book,searching for another topic of conversation before this one dries up like seaweed on a beach. "What book is that?" Books might not be her favorite topic,a little boring to be honest,but hey it's doable.
Haven't seen you in a while. @newfishontheblock
Ah, a joke, that’s what it was to her. A big fat joke.
All of the past she’d left behind, just something she could wipe away. She admired that trait, yet hated it. So many feelings were mixed together, she didn’t know what to feel.
Careless, Frivolous Meenah.
Nothing mattered to her elder sister, nothing. Going about her life without a care in the world. Feferi was slowly taking her apart piece by piece, analyzing the other Piexes. Maybe it was a facade, so much like the insecure wall that she had set up.
They would be the same.
No,no that wouldn’t be right. They were different. Very different. She was bubbly and charismatic, and Meenah was, well, Meenah, filled with attitude. Well, Feferi had one too, but again, they were the same, but very different.
Like two sides of the same coin.
Her head rose up, looking at her delinquent older sibling, composing herself.She inhaled, pursing her lips.
"What do you want, Meenah?" she said, looking into the eyes she shared the hue of.
Meenah narrows her eyes,meeting the other's gaze head on as She debated. What did she want? It was hard to say. She and Feferi had nothing in common,besides genetics and a person they at times called 'Mother' . She was the delinquent daughter while Feferi had even been praised by dear sweet mom after she ran away.
She hadn't been able to stand it. She had felt like darling feferi had been getting everything handed to her on a sliver platter.
Meenah's arms uncross,her right hand going to rest on her hip. Her other arm just laying at her side. Before She decides what She wants, She needs to get one thing straight.
"Well,First things first. Whatever I say next isn't because mommy dearest wants me to say, you got me?"
Not that she would have done anything she had said. Whale,maybe she would have but she would have avoided it a lot more.So that's that. Now what? She deliberated a bit more.
"Nothing really. Just wanted to say hi,believe it or not, I don't care."
So. (closed starter)
Terezi tapped her stick against the ground, nodding. “Well then. I can get us there just as long as you orient me quickly.” She turned 90 degrees than pointed forward. “That’s the path to the literature department, yeah?”
"Should be able to do that. Not rocket science after all." She shrugs before nodding, turning around as she does so. "Yup. That it is."
So. (closed starter)
Terezi turned at the call, almost yelping at the close collision. She pulled herself together and put her hand on her hip, arching an eyebrow. “You’re a lucky little squid,” she said, “because I’ve had a friend who’s dragged me there multiple times. On a scale of smelling the flowers to government shutdown, how much of a hurry are you in? Because it’s on the other side of campus.”
Was that a fish pun? Meenah blinked. Maybe she's just imagining things because if that was a fish pun, She wasn't going to hold back on them like she sometimes does and possibly grin like an happy maniac.
She let out a snort at that,putting a hand on her hip. "More like Fuck it, I just want to go to the pool." She could care less about how long it took her,just so long as she got there.
Haven't seen you in a while. @newfishontheblock
Meenah.
They hadn’t seen each other in years, it was even surprising she had remembered her name. Though, she had a few years to dwell on the topic of her family, it still was a touchy subject.
It enraged her to know her ignorant older sister was here to embarrass and tease her. But what infuriated her more was that she could still talk so casually to her.
"Sup, Shortie, been a while, a’int it?"
She wanted to run into her arms and cry forever, but at the same time, choke her to death. Feferi sighed, finger clenching around the books she held against her chest.
"How can you speak so familiarly to me?" she murmured, barley audible, her eyes on the floor.
Meenah resisted the urge to roll her eyes at that,almost snorting. She started to rock back and forth on her heels,her arms now crossed over her chest. Fuck,Was her younger sister trying to not be heard or something? If Meenah could even call her a sister anymore. Could just call her a relative or something like that.
The heiress raised an eyebrow,responding in the way that came naturally."What'd you expect? Me to be like 'Ey,Stranger. You look sorta like the sister I haven't seen in like I don't know how long'? Hate to burst your bubble,kiddo,but you're going to deal with that familiarity or me treating you like some kind of punk the shark dragged in."
Meenah takes a quick glance over Feferi,to judge her mental state. Ah, Somewhat nice to know She's probably pissing her off by talking casually to her.
Haven't seen you in a while. @newfishontheblock
Had it really been that long? Meenah wonders,scratching the back of her hair. It had been years since she had last seen her sister and Meenah wasn't exactly all that pleased to either. She thinks for a moment,crossing her arms over her chest.
She could talk to feferi now or later. Meenah'd personally prefer it to be now as She walks over to her. "Sup, Shortie. Been a while,ain't it?"
Cats Hate the Water [Open Thread]
In all her life, all eighteen years of her life, Rosalyn Lalonde has never been to the beach.
Of course, the petite blonde had seen the beach on numerous occasions. Just only through television, articles, and the internet. With living in New York most of her life and her mother never having the time off with her job and certain problems, it was hard for them to go have family outings.
Yet here she was. Eyes solely locked on the crystallized water that crept on the sandy shoreline. She ended up getting dragged to the beach due to how outrageous it was that she had never been to one. Taking in the curiosity, she reluctantly agreed to attend such an adventure. Hoping the new experience would be a bit invigorating as well as give her time to relax without the stockpile of work and stress weighting on her shoulders.
Or so she thought, until she stepped into the water.
She hissed a bit at the cold water lapping at her feet. It took awhile to get use to especially the further she went in. Only to stop once the water rose to her hips. Enjoying the moment of the ocean water and the sun rays hitting at her backside, slightly wondering why she never opted to join her friends on their beach parties. Maybe this wasn’t as bad as she thought—
“Watch out,”
Well that is, until her eyes met face-to-face with a growing wave that came out of nowhere.
Her eyes widened and her body went stiff at the size of the wave. Before she had anytime to process and “ride the wave” or simply jump, the water crashed down knocking her to her backside. Unlike how others may react to being knocked by a wave, the girl spluttered spitting out the water. Her whole body drenched in water and eyes stupidly batting at what just happened.
Similar to how a cat would act when near water, Rose shot up with an aggravated yowl. Eyes screwed with anger, she glared at the ocean with disgust. Not minding how childish she was acting, she stormed out of the water back to her things. Plopping herself under the shade and onto her chair with her arms crossed against her chest. At that moment she decided for the remainder of the trip she wasn’t going to foolishly walk back into the water. She’ll just stay on land, under the shade, and far away from the accursed salty water.
In the mean time, she had some catching up in her reading to do.
Oh god.Meenah ended up laughing at the girl who had been knocked down, like seriously. When someone tells you to watch out, You don't stand there a newbie. Must be someone who's never even been close to water.
Might as well not pass up the 'opportunaity' to make fun of a total newbie. She quiets down a bit,heading back onto the beach and to her area. Meenah picks up the towel and quickly dries her hair a bit,wrapping it around her neck after.
She leans down and slips on her sandals,then walks over to the girl."So. I'm assuming you've never been near water or somefin to get hit by a wave like that?" It wasn't even big by meenah's standards. A five year old could avoid that.
So. (closed starter)
Alright,so She was completely lost despite being her before. Ugh. Might as well go up to the nearest person and ask. Meenah scans the area, "Ey! Red shades!" She runs over to her,skidding to a halt in front of her. Huh-Short.
"You wouldn't know where the pool happens to be, would ya?"
.
