week 5

[That was...an absolute shitshow. More beloved friends are dead in a mess of a trial that's left Angus half the man he was, Riley in a free fall and the Phantom...somehow still standing despite taking two stabs to the torso.

When you wake on Sunday, you'll find that you've recovered another one of those memories - or had another dream, if you still wanna be in denial about it. The door blocking the stairwell on the second floor has been unsealed. You can now venture up to the third floor! You have so much space now, it's just a shame it's all come at the cost of eight lives.

But despite the tragedy you have made progress! The trip into the Phantom's lair yielded some hints to the past of the Opera House, your house manager's apparently grim hobby and the possibility of an ally outside the Opera House. Who knows what this week will bring?]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 5! Please remember to submit your AC and your memory regains, as well as your coins! You can also still contact the Phantom. ))

[A scoff.]

You had best hope they don't hear you say that. No, they're angels. Of the unfallen variety.
holyspit: (aaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Hm. Well.]

So were they like your family, before-? Before.
heathencall: (:?)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose in... [His lip curls]

In a matter of speaking, yes.
holyspit: (very not okay)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
...if it helps. I think I kind of get how that must feel.
heathencall: (Default)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh.]

Awful relatives as well?

You remember what I told you about my mom, right?
heathencall: (:?)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
The rebellion, yes? The one that made you worry about my own actions?
holyspit: (not cool)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's- Gems don't usually have a concept of family. But it's kind of the same thing. Some of the other Gems we've had to fight were even made on Earth, too.

It's not a pleasant situation to be in.

How many have you had to fight?
holyspit: (why this 2)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well- Lapis and Peridot are on our side now. Jasper got corrupted and we managed to bubble her. The Rubies weren't really a threat on their own except when I was stuck in a bubble shield with one of them. Aquamarine was just kind of awful- And if the Diamonds get serious, we, um. Might kind of be fighting everyone on Homeworld.
heathencall: (>:|)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
That.... sounds like quite a few enemies.

[He looks Steven over. He's still awful small to be waging a war.]

What about Spinel? What was she to you?
holyspit: (this might not be fine)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
...I'd hoped she was a friend, but.

[He shakes his head.]

The friend she was waiting for, Pink Diamond- she wasn't coming back.
heathencall: (Default)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Because... she was sent to fight you?

[He said if the Diamonds got serious but... still]
holyspit: (very not okay)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
No, she was-

[PROBABLY HIS MOM? But ha, what is acknowledging your memory regains, sorry Riley.]

Earth was her colony. She was the one the Crystal Gems were rebelling against.
heathencall: (>:D)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
The one they succeeded rebelling against, I assume.

[He scratches the back of his neck.]

I see why you were wary.
holyspit: (the worst stubble)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mom was- it was her rebellion. She was the one who did it. And I'm the one who's got her gem now, and- most of the Gems we've met from Homeworld think I AM her.

[IT'S A REAL RAW FUCKIN' DEAL, MEPHY]

I wanted to tell Spinel, she deserved to know, but. You know what she was like. And. I was scared, yeah.

[We're getting dangerously close to eyes glazing over territory here but. He's doing his best.]

You were handed a role you did not want. [He makes a face.]

I can understand that, if nothing else.
holyspit: (hello darkness)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-27 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Welcome to the Simple Plot of Steven Universe, Mephy.]

Maybe.

[YES.]

Someone needs to deal with it, though, right?
heathencall: (:??)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-27 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. But I don't think that someone should be a child.

[He glances down at the cat, pets its head lightly.]

Think about all of the pressure Riley put on herself. I would rather not see anyone else end up in that position.
holyspit: (why are you like this)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-28 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I can handle it!

[Just. Just a little defensive.]

The other Gems still need my help, and if I don't- more people will just get hurt.
heathencall: (Default)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-28 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Mephisto waits for Steven to finish, and then waits a little longer, just to be sure.]

Their well-being is more important than yours. [He tries his best to sound judgmental but. People have been teaching him things about emotions and friends so... maybe he can agree with that.]
holyspit: (this might not be fine)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-07-30 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No! Maybe? I mean- it's not that simple, but if I have to get hurt to save them-

[Man. Connie would be so mad to hear him talking like this.]

I've got my friends. We'll figure something out.
heathencall: (>>:???)

[personal profile] heathencall 2020-07-30 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as you don't go making sacrifices here.[He'll let you off the hook for now, Steven.]

I would rather not see anymore blood spilled.
