<div class="floatleft">(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/legendofdragoon/images/4/4e/Rose.jpg/revision/latest?cb=00000000000000)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Rose<br/><strong>Title:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Game:</strong>Legend of the Dragoon<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Jan. 18, 9:00 AM<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Killzone<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Mario, major, prinny,<strong>Mentioned:</strong>Tingle, jack<br/><hr/><br/>Rose ignored the wild flapping of the odd little penguin in her hands. She wasn't worried in the least, than again, she had no idea of his volatile capacity either. All Rose knew was that they needed to get him through every single obstacle to get through the silly course. It still made no sense, why have your champions play games when real training or tasks could be tended to? It gave Rose a reason to question their so called teachers, and what they were really up. Then again Rose was always slow to trust, and now was going to be no different.<br/><br/>She handed the small wiggling package off to the tall Italian with no resistance. "<strong>He's all yours.'</strong>Rose said as he left her hand, a deep breath filling her lungs as she looked onto the rest of the course. She was thankful that Mario took the heavy penguin; he did in fact weigh more than expected. And it would have slowed her down; thankfully her teammates seemed amply supplied with muscles. A small fact she enjoyed a bit more than she would ever admit. Both muscled men seemed more than ready to give a far to cocky strut should they hear the news. That image quickly stifled any appreciation for the outward appearance, as cockiness was most unbecoming a real man.<br/><br/>She took a breath and pushed her first impression away, it was the least she could do. Besides Rose had better things to do at the moment,<strong>"That sounds like a plan."</strong>she nodded towards Mario,<strong>"though we can take turns."</strong>Rose explained with a soft nod. The sight of Prinny's reaction to being picked up once more nearly brought a bit of laughter from Rose's lips....almost. She shook her head and looked to Major with a scowl,<strong>"I suggest you learn some respect, before you end up regretting what you get returned. I did not complain, but the ease in which you left a so called teammate was disgusting."</strong>she corrected major and moved past him to follow Mario.<br/><br/>Rose had no intention of taking shit from anyone, and if that meant not making friends then so be it. Doing what had to be done had nothing to do with friends this time. Not when the last two times had ended with her holding the short end of the stick. All they needed at the moment was a common ground and an understanding to work together enough to live till the next battle or task. And at the moment all they needed was to finish the damn course and get to whatever silly task was next.<br/><br/>Rose ran than to the next obstacle in the course, a rope wall no less. She waited for the others to clear it before stepping up and gripping the rope. She easily made her way to the top, using her legs to support most of her weight as she pushed upward before kicking her feet over the edge and preforming a skilled tumble off the other side. Her feet landing in the mud, her boots sinking in as she stood and looked to the mud crawl in time to see Prinny sliding through, flailing the whole time.<br/><br/>She stifled a snicker once more and shook her head, watching as the large men struggled to get through the mud. The larger bodies weighed down with the extra mass, making it difficult to pull through. She studied the obstacle for a moment and then moved, tucking her long raven hair into her shirt before lowing herself down and crawling under the barb wire. The small action would keep her hair from getting caught underneath her as well as in the barbwire. Moving her elbows in front of her, she pushed with her feet and knees and began to crawl through the thick mud.<br/><br/>Clearly Rose was not worried about getting a little dirty, it was after all only mud. A good long swim in a lake or if available a shower would wash away any foul evidence that remained later on. For now Rose moved as quickly as possible through that part of the course before standing once more before the next task in their little list of feats.<br/><br/>Next was the Jacob's ladder, a wobbly set of ropes that seemed more difficult that they should be. Her hands worked over her frame and tried to wipe away as much mud as possible. The wetness left behind was less than pleasant and caused her clothes to cling to her like a second skin. Yes it would take a great deal of water and scrubbing to get rid of the mud. But for now Rose did her best with her hands as Major took to the rope bridge challenge first.<br/><br/>Rose watched as major struggled to keep himself balanced, all the while holding the terrified package. It wasn't easy that was for sure, and she would have given him credit if he didn't seem like a big headed goof already. Granted she almost felt bad for the small penguin, he looked so frightened that she thought it would faint. If they were to keep doing these sorts of things it would probably be better to come up with some sort of way to carry him. Like a backpack, baby carried sort of thing. The idea was quickly thrown to the side though, as Major made it to the top of the ladder.<br/><br/>It seemed that trying to balance making things insanely difficult, so perhaps if she kept her weight centered it would become easier.<strong>"One second I have an idea."</strong>she held a hand up to Mario to have him let her go first. Her first few steps were easy, of course. It was only once one got past those steps and closer to the center that things got tricky. Still Rose kept to the center and found her balance point with each step. She still wobbled at times, but managed to make it up in a slightly easier fashion than Major.<br/><br/>Rose pulled herself up onto the platform and took a deep breath.<strong>"You can try it my way or I can try and steady it for you before you start...your choice."</strong>she waved Mario onward and would wait to see what he choice was. If he asked for help she would, but if he wanted to do it himself. Either way she looked onward as the team caught up once more.<strong>"So who wants to play catch the penguin?"</strong>she asked with a smirked, clearly having no idea about Prinny’s possible explosive danger. If she had Rose may have suggested a much safer route to take. But at the moment it seemed like their best bet. She took one last long breath before taking a few steps back and suddenly running forward and onto the first platform in a long line of such before them, her feet sliding to a stop as they met the next wooden service.<br/><br/>She could see there were many more platforms before them, some even higher than the one she was standing on, some shorter, but all with a gap of some sort between them.<strong>“I may actually get a little winded this go around.”</strong>Rose jested as she knew they would all be feeling the course at least a little bit at the end of the day. She turned to her team then and nodded,<strong>“Come one boys, you can’t stare at my ass all day.”</strong>She teased and waved at them to follow. She stood ready to catch the penguin though, knowing jumping would be much easier without the added weight holding them down, or worse the little guy suddenly flailing or wiggling and sending the pair down to the ground below with one hell of a bang.<br/><hr/>Word Count=1305<br/>[<strong>\\\\\\\\</strong>\\]8/10<br/>
