She was walking through the park, playing on a video console and her hair was pulled back into a messy bun. Her parker was zipped open and every once in a while she adjusted it so it wouldn't fly back with the wind. Other than that, her jeans, white shirt and black boots didn't really seem much of a barrier to the winter weather.

She too was walking through the park, in the opposite direction to Rose no less. Her hair was more straight, since she simply cannot be arsed to do anything fancy to it. She wore a comfortable light jacket that kept her warm enough in the cold weather, with matching sweats and boots. Her sense of style is questionable, but her wallet of f\*cks to give is empty, so the picture is very clear.

Her eyes were dragged upwards as she saw Marlene and her eyes dropped up and down as she surveyed the clothes. "How unfortunate," she muttered to herself. She didn't recognise the girl, though, and decided she wasn't apart of IIYM. But...she didn't look old enough to be an adult. In her thoughts, she forgot to look away from the girl and quickly did so, hoping it didn't look like she was staring.

She briefly exchanges glances with Rose, but it hardly lingers. Marlene noticed the other girl's eyes on her, but didn't really mind them. She mutters something barely audible, in a different language.

She paused, hearing the language and turned to her. "What language was that?" She asked, taking herself by surprise. She usually was a more reserved person, not liking new people or anything, but she was also curious and had some pride.

"German. Why?" was her light response. Bilingualism was a beautiful thing... granted you know who you're speaking to.

"Ah," she said before shrugging, "curiosity. It sounded familiar and I couldn't place it."

She offers a light smile in return. "I don't suppose you happen to speak German yourself?"

"I know how to say hello, goodbye, and where's the nearest brothel, though I don't know where I'll use the last one," she said with a hum. "It's a bit...hard of a language that I kind of gave up."

"That's a start. I grew up speaking German, so it tends to come more naturally to me, versus English, which I had to learn."

"They say it's the hardest to learn, and I never understood until I had to say 'that that'," she said before watching her, "I'm Rose, by the way, or Etta. Whichever you prefer."

She offers something of a smile as she glances at Rose. "Marlene. You can me Lene or Lena if Marlene is a handful to say."

"Try saying Rosetta," she suggested, "neither's much of a mouthful, just more efficient shortening it. I'll call you Marly."

"That's a new one. I'll take it though. I think I'll stick to calling you Rose."

"Reminds me of that movie with the dog," she said with a shrug, "but yeah, most people do. So...what school? I know you're not from IIYM."

"Central City High. CCH for short."

"Yeah, I've heard of it," she said with a growing grin, "do you like it?" She asked, innocently, "I heard a lot of people are pretty...relaxed."

"I suppose. Sometimes I question how fun it actually is, but I'm not complaining. But otherwise, yeah, it's relaxing." *Sometimes to the point where it's just boring.*

She snickered, "sounds great," she said, "IIYM's not so bad. In the middle really, but it's diverse. I'll give it that."

"Diversity is always nice. Not that CCH isn't diverse, but it could do a little better."
