WHO: ROSE LALONDE and NORMAN OSBORN
WHERE: Oscorp!
WHEN: Forwarded to Friday, the 15th Feb.
WARNINGS: Will edit if anything comes up!
SUMMARY: Rose Lalonde doesn't work weekends except when she's getting costumes and injections.
FORMAT: Quick to start, whatever afterwards.


[Rose misses the days when she could sleep in on the weekends. School and her internship have successfully eradicated any hope ever sleeping longer than eight in the morning. For the foreseeable future, at least. Tired and trying to desperately stifle a yawn as she passes by Oscorp's reception, Rose at least looks like the part of Wide Awake and Totally Alert.

She makes her way up towards Norman's office with thinly veiled curiosity. She wonders, vaguely, what it is this time. Her last visit on the weekend had been interesting to say the least. The elevator pings at the correct floor and Rose half-speed walks towards towards his office.

She knocks twice.]

[Bombs -- exactly what a self-destructive sixteen year old needs. Brilliant. It's like Christmas all over again. ]

I expect I will be nose diving off of a lot of roofs.

[In the time he's gone, she manages to pull the costume on with minimum difficultly. She folds her clothes as tidily as one can while entirely preoccupied with other things. She feels a little strange in the suit -- as though she's borrowing something deeply personal. As though Norman is Iona and Rose Andie, and this is prom.

She most definitely eyes the vials when he returns, however. ]

[osreborn]

Don't get reckless, now. Practice somewhere spacious and out of the way -- where you have some room to fall but none to crash.

[ He sets out a cloth, laying the vials over it and pulling a hypodermic needle from his bag. He takes his time stirring the clear-looking serum within the vial. ]

And you'll of course want some privacy.

[Don't be reckless -- she nearly laughs. How does one defy nature? Rose has practically made it a profession in being reckless. She is being reckless right now. ]

Don't worry, no one will see me. Not before I see them.

[osreborn]

I wouldn't have asked someone I thought I'd have to worry about.

[ He begins to prepare the needle. ]

I prepared a special enhancement for you. You should notice an improvement in your strength, agility, and endurance; I imagine that will also make make a difference.

[Rose cannot remember the last time she had a shot. A long time before the Earth blew up, at least. She eyes the needles with a look of false calm. There is a certain sense of apprehension inside. She can't remember if shots hurt. It seems a silly worry after dying.

Even sillier is trusting that this is safe. She is being foolishly arrogant when she thinks: it's okay, I'm still a god.]

I see you thought of everything.

[osreborn]

Can't have you out there unprepared. The air pressure can be a struggle to adjust to.

[ As he well knows. He releases a small squirt from the needle to force out any air bubbles and presses it to her arm. His eyes fix carefully on hers for a moment. ]

Anyway. There shouldn't be any side effects.
