"Gosh darnit......I hate goin hea"
" Then why do you bother? "
" Because dollie...I gotta go say hello to Rose.."
" Oh hogwosh! Who cares bout her? "
" I do! She is my friend! "
" You! Have a friend?! I gotta see this......."
" Fine Mr. Smarty Pants....I will prove it to ya! "
" Yes...do that. All my straw buddies will find this amusing to conversate ova "
" Ohhhhhh!! "

Tara storms up to the estate, dragging that demon doll along by its arm. She was determined to prove to Arthur that allthough sometimes people thought her wacko, she did have some friends.

Once on the doorstep, she pushed open the door, not caring who came to greet her, and stepped over the threshold. She noticed they still hadnt invested in electricity, and made a mental note to send them some for the Holidays.

" Now where is Rose' room? "
" ::yawns:: Wake me when its ova "
" Shutup dollie....remember Arthur.....Fire burns straw ::snickers:: "
" ::growl:: Remember Tawa.....having multiple bed partners causes widespread disease! "
" ::gasp:: You pig! "
" ::mimicks her gasp:: You slut! "
" Grrrr! "
" Nice sound effects...tell me do you do that with all the men? ::sly grin ::"
" ::shoves him deep into her pocket and buttons it :: Yer gonna git it dollie jus you wait an' see! "

She stops in the middle of the hall and looks to a door that has a star painted on it.

" Hmm...This could be her room...after all she is from that place....Huh! Now isnt that strange....I cant seem to remember where she came from "
" <muffled hint> Hollywood ya many men having harlott! "
" ::punching her pocket once, knowing it will do the trick :: You bite that tongue Mr! "
" Hmmph! "

Tara takes two "Mother May I " steps towards the door and knocks gently.

" Rose...Now I dont mean to intrude...but I heard you went 'way fer awhile...and well....I noticed you werent 'round either....<m> didnt say goodbye to the Tara girlie.....but anyhoo...I thought it polite to come ova hea...and see how ya were ......Please open this door !!"

*Kapling!* ...The sound of the button popping off Tara's overall pocket. Arthur crawls out of the pocket, and hikes a bit before coming to stand on Tara's chest. His toothpick claw pointing at her, and a very angry straw look.

" Dont ever do that to me again! Understand ?! "
" Yer straw is diggin into my bra dollie...it doesnt feel pleasant "
" I am sure you have had worse diggin into yer bra Tawa!! "
" Here we go again....please be quiet....Rose may be sleeping"
" I dont give a hoot! Would you stop being so damn delusional! You are friendless! "

Tara covers her ears, and sings " La..La..La.." over and over again until Rose opens the door.....

::between the crackling of her fireplace, which for some reason this evening seems overloud, and the muttering of lunatic voices at her door, she is having an impossible time concentrating on her enjoyment of "Blood Demon" (also known as "The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism")... even the Surround Sound can't compete, it seems, as each time she turns the volume up a notch, the voices outside rise in complement::

Now, how am I supposed to watch Christopher Lee dismember virgins with all that racket going on outside?... ::she hisses, slamming the remote to the desk top amid a flurry of paperwork... the resultant percussion of a few key buttons immediately shuts the power off, and the large screen video monitor above the hearth swivels back into its hiding place, revealing only a panelled wall with a stylized portrait of the "Whitechapel Murderer" where once a screen had been::

::kicking her feet from the corner of the desk, she winds forward, one hand already beginning to unfurl the bull whip at her belt as the other reaches for the door handle... wrenching the door aside, she faces the hall with an angry sneer curling the corners of her lips::

::but that sneer melts away instantly to a honey-laden smile as she spies Tara waiting in the entrance:: Why, good evening, Ta-

::and she stops short, blinking once, twice, then craning forward, her eyes narrowed to suspicious slits of molten emerald as she peers at the babbling doll::

Tara removes her hands from her ears , while a jubilant smile plants itself neatly across her lips. " Rose!! You are my savior! " Throwing her arms around Rose's neck and squeezing her tightly. " Please tell my doll that I have friends! Please! "

The doll, while Tara had been latched onto Rose, was picking his teeth with one of his toothpick fingers. " This is just plain ridiculous....come on Tawa....lets go an' leave the lady alone! "

Tara glances down in between Rose and her to glare at the doll. " You dared me to prove this to you dollie....you are jus' jealous. It is not I who is hated in all the Inns.....tis you! "

Arthur smirks and continues his digging...." Whateva...."

Tara then looks up at Rose.....a pathetic look now.....

"Rose....yer my only hope "

Your doll... talks... ::the incredulous statement coming out more in the tone of a question, as she instinctively fastens an arm about Tara's waist::

::as she watches the curious exchange, her gaze drifting from one to the other, a slow grin breaks out across the porcelain ice of her features, and her brow furrows with the increasing struggle to hold back the tide of her amusement::

Now, then, Tara, I can hardly be your only hope... ::she purrs, offering a snug tightening of her embrace:: ...if only for the fact that I am hardly your only friend...

::her eyes remain fixed on the doll for a long moment, after which her nose finally crinkles in an arrogant sniff:: What an impertinent little creature... I'm sure I could convince him to mend his ways...

::turning to Tara, she winks coquettishly, her mind already drifting to the assortment of needles and pins locked in her lower desk drawer::

::as she lifts the miniature sewing kit into view, she swivels in place, and favors Tara with a mysteriously innocent smile::

Why, sew his mouth shut, of course... ::she purrs, as though there were any other way of dealing with the intolerable impudence of a too-free tongue::
