I have died every day waiting for you
[That was, in Rose's opinion, even worse than last week. Any loss of life is an awful waste, but for it all to come of some horrible accident...
This week, she doesn't retreat back to her room. She knows now that the people here, or at least enough of them, like to gather after these experiences. Many of the Crystal Gems were the same way; she remembers their post-battle huddles well. It's not a party, really, but...it's good to be together. To have friends around. Maybe, to remember those who were lost.
So this time, she'll go to the cafeteria herself and request some food for everyone. It's just basic snacks, the kind of human food she knows well enough to ask for. There's some hot chocolate provided, too. She definitely knows people enjoy that. It doesn't take too long, since she isn't making most of it, and then she goes to invite everybody she can find.
She doesn't slip any notes underneath doors, for the people she doesn't happen across. Some Crystal Gems didn't join the groups, or maybe did after one battle but not another. Sometimes they wanted to be alone. She never really understood that...but it wasn't her place to tell them otherwise. Weren't they all about freedom?
Everybody probably knows something like this is going to happen again, anyway. It's their choice to come.]

[ wow this word association is a real shocker huh (high five, Sly)
Jasper steps out of her room just in time to hear Shelley yelling. It would be kind of comical under any other circumstances. As she speaks, the door whooshes shut behind her with perfect melodramatic timing. ]

[Hrrrrrgh the Professor makes Shelley so upset. She wants to make him step on Legos]
You know, I once told Alice the reason why he took away all of her skills is because he was afraid of her. If at least I had been right about that, this wouldn't feel like it was pointless.
[Something about being trapped under someone who just...picks them off one by one is just so infuriating and demoralizing at once]

[ Which makes sense, since Alice lied about a lot of things — or told half-truths, in her words. ]
You were right. He's afraid of everyone who outclasses him. If he wasn't, he wouldn't keep resorting to [ raising her voice and glaring upwards ] lowlife trickery to keep us down here.
no subject
But he'll run out of tricks. He can't keep having you all under his thumb like that.
[Not including herself because Shelley is as normal as a human can be]
