[Jack has been a little preoccupied lately. It's an odd sense of impending doom, actually. Like something really bad is going to happen, and soon. Still, as much as Jack believes in his gut feelings he hasn't shared them with anyone else. It's worse today, but Jack decides maybe he just ate something bad. Yeah, he's in denial already. Still, he feels like maybe he should see Rose. Wasn't she living with that guy version of Meryl now? Well, hopefully he wouldn't have a problem with Jack turning up uninvited. Even if he did, Jack decides he doesn't care. He wasn't there for him.]

[He goes to the door of her new home and knocks; then waits.]

((Poor Jack and his weird gut feelings, I wonder what he could be feeling /itisamystery.jpg. Anyway, locked to

[When she heard the knocks, Rose glanced up from where she was sitting on the floor. She was just finishing up unpacking some extra clothes she had grabbed from home after a couple days.]

[Getting up she made her way over to the door. Merrel wasn't home at the moment, so she assumed whoever it was would just be looking for him. Opening the door, she was surprised to see Jack standing there.]

Jack!

[Don't mind the hug. <3 ]

[He hugs back with a grin.]

Hey, Rose. Happy to see me?

[He doesn't mind. <3]

Of course.

I just wasn't expecting it to be you at the door.

[~~Did I even tell you where I live, you stalker.~~]

I told you I'd visit you sometimes, didn't I?

[~~He watches you sleep~~]

Yeah, I just didn't think it'd be so soon.

[She glanced inside the apartment. She still felt just like a guest, but Merrel said to make herself at home so... he wouldn't mind if she invited Jack in, she hoped.]

Do you want to come in?

To be honest, me neither.

[He nods, stepping inside.]

Sure, thanks.

Um. My room is in the back if you want to go back there? Or we can sit in the living room.

[She gestured around a little awkwardly. This didn't feel like her home yet]

Merrel's not home right now.

We can go in your room, that way we won't be bothering him if he comes home.

[He notices she seems to feel awkward, but he guesses it is still pretty new for her.]

Everything isn't really put away yet but...

[She leads him back to her room, which was just a pretty simple bedroom. Her bag of clothes was still on the floor next to her bed, some of it was scattered around the room. Hey, she hadn't gotten a chance to get settled yet.]

The bed is clean at least.

[...Oh God her room is so untidy D:]

U-Uh, yeah, haha...

[He bites this lip, looking over the clothes.]

Umm... I can help you out, if you want to get it done.

[He's trying to look like it's not a big deal, but... man this is pretty... messy]

[Don't judge me >:V]

Sorry, you don't have to... I've just been unpacking and you know how messy that gets.

[Sob, she knows how clean you keep your room, Jack.]

Yeah. Here, I'll help.

[HE CAN'T STAND IT OKAY]

So how have you been?

[He starts pulling the drawers out of the dresser so he can fold the clothes and put them away easier.]

You really don't have to...

[Noo Jack there are delicate things in there.]

I've been alright. Just keeping busy getting settled in. How about you?

[She's just going to... sit on the bed and look like she's helping but she's pretty much just watching Jack.]

I've been fine.

[He starts folding shirts up and putting them in a drawer.]

I mean, I've felt kinda strange the past couple of days, but... I mean, it's probably nothing.

Strange?

[One thing Rose learned is that weird feelings could very well be something to worry about, with the strangeness that happens in the Nexus every day.]

Strange how?

Well... it's stupid, really...

[He pauses folding up a pair of pants, thinking.]

Like... something bad is about to happen... I just can't shake the feeling...

[He shakes his head.]

But I don't want you to worry about it, it's probably just me being stressed out or something.

Just, like a gut feeling?

[Well now she was definitely going to worry about it.]

I'm sure you're just worrying about things too much. Bad things usually just hit when you're least expecting it.

[Wow, that was supposed to sound reassuring.]

Yeah.

[Yeah that's totally reassuring thanks Rose]

I just wish it would go away, you know? It's not a nice feeling.

[He goes back to folding things.]

[Shut up, she's helpful.]

Maybe you're getting sick-

[Fff hello (clean) discarded underthings, Rose doesn't really want Jack folding those up, she's just going to yoink those away from him and fold them herself :T ]

Maybe...

[Oh come on Rose, maybe folding your underwear would help him feel better!]

It's not like I haven't seen it all before, Rose.

[Still, he doesn't mind if she wants to help out.]

What, do you want to fold my underwear?

[She teases him, picking all of the underwear and bras out of the pile and folding them herself.]

Besides, I told you that you didn't have to clean my room.

I wouldn't have a problem with it.

[He grins at her, continuing to fold up shirts.]

Well it's easier for you if I just do it now, that way you won't have to. Right?

Yeah but... it's rude to make guests do your housework.

[As she folded them, she tucked them into the dresser.]

Were you just feeling the need to do some housework since your house is so clean so you decided to come over to my place?

You're not making me do anything.

[He chuckles as he places clothes in the dresser too; the process of which is unnaturally neat and organized, but at least he doesn't just throw them in.]

Can't a guy just want to see his friend and fold up her underwear~?

I guess, but the latter is pretty creepy Jack.

[She laughed though.]

If you clean every time you visit, I'll have to invite you over more often.

[~~Without her own Jack to keep the mess at bay, what is she to do?~~]
