WEEK 2

[bathymetric]

So far, good news! You've managed to avoid killing! A week has passed in the facility, but how many more are there to go until one of you tries out Rule Seven? I mean.... we know, but.

No new areas just yet, it remains you guys and yours here for now. Well, and Angel, but again - you don't exactly see her unless you want to. It's more than a little lonely... maybe someone ought to shake things up.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 2, your first case week! Remember to turn in regains here, your AC for last week here, and if you like, come visit Angel's office hours here!

Do you?

[Ordinarily, she can't afford to show even as much weakness as she already has. But she's not the leader of anybody here. They don't even know that side of who Rose Quartz is meant to be.

Well, except Jasper. But Jasper's one reason she shouldn't go out there, if she can't contain herself. They always did say she was overemotional.]

...maybe. I'll decide a little later.

[philoxenia]

I do.

[ She knows how it goes. Mira takes a seat outside Rose's door, knees pulled up to her chest. ]

I don't know what yours said, or what you're going through... but I know very, very much what it's like to hurt so much that you don't want to do anything at all.

But you don't have to be alone. We hardly know each other, but still... if you want some company, I'll stay. Even if it's just on the other side of this door.

[lovelikeyou]

...I'm not the only person who would be hurt by this.

[The other Crystal Gems. The Earth. They'd take it all away.]

[philoxenia]

[ ... oh.

She's quiet for a while. She's not really... good at this kind of thing, but. She's here, and Rose has been nothing but nice to her, so. ]

... I can see why it's so difficult. It's one thing to be hurt yourself, but... something else entirely if others get hurt. [ Boy, she gets that. ] But I-- F-for what it's worth, I think we'll be okay... And the people you love and care about, too.

Even if it doesn't seem like it, I believe that completely.

[ She has to... or she'll lose herself. ]

[lovelikeyou]

...thank you.

[Rose doesn't believe that, not necessarily. She'd like to, but...either way, though, it's a nice thing to say.]

[philoxenia]

You're welcome, Rose.

[ She wouldn't blame her, honestly. Still... ]

We have to look after each other... right?

[lovelikeyou]

You're right. We should.

[But she's got an awful lot of people to look after.]

[philoxenia]

Mm. So... The offer, for getting anything for you, anything at all?

It'll always be open. So... please don't hesitate.

[lovelikeyou]

...thank you.

[never gonna do it tho]
