After escaping her first trap somehow (which, admittedly, hadn't originally been set for the little creature) Rose was determined to teach it that you can't simply walk away from something meant to kill you. Life doesn't work that way!

She understood that you wake up after being killed here, but this just...didn't seem like the same circumstance. So a trap had to be placed. And that started with a little leftover candy she'd began to hoard. A simple trail leading into the laboratory should be enough to attract it. Now the matter was trapping and killing it.

As for trapping, well...no harm in lying in wait with a box. Once he's working on the larger pile inside the room, she'll simply jump him with the box. That'll surely work!

[Kyuu doesn't like having to be killed. It's a nuisance, and if ze can't get to the body, it's also a tremendous waste of resources...just like the candy trail. Tsk!

As expected, ze follows the trail on into the lab. Tsk, tsk!]

[thornythaumaturge]

[[Good, good. You just keep on following that trail. She carefully waits, listening and watching the door. Oh the plans does she have for you, Kyuubey.

Nothing you'll like, probably, but that's fine. What's important is that she's satisfied with the out come.]]

[mephistofeels]

[Yeah, unfortunately Kyuu is gonna keep following that trail, as expected - right into where Rose is waiting. Well, of course. Makes sense.

... And then ze promptly sits down upon entering the lab.] I am aware that this is a trap.
