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.]

[ A short sound escaped him, though there was no smile.

He was a little amused. ]


It's too bad I doubt he'd care about us hurling such words at him. Although he didn't seem above a little petty spat towards the end of trial...

I'm sure if he could he'd have words to say to all of us. He just doesn't so he can stay up his high horse.

[Although at times he does seem willing to have spats! Guess the horse isn't that high, haha]

[ Nope... ]

That sounds likely. But someone could argue he never had the chance to 'get up' on one in the first place as soon as he opened his mouth.

[ Vincent, while quiet, knew the meaning of snarky for sure. ]

I bet it's a horse made of money. He built it with the forty-eight millions he said he had.

[Implying that's all he has on his side]

...That is one image I hadn't had in mind.

But I wouldn't be surprised if he had one. He does seem like the type to throw away money at useless things.

[ Vincent wouldn't be surprised if he had more money, to be honest ]

You know, if we were outside this place, striking at his financial assets would be the way to defeat him. With some legal beaglery he could be crushed to the ground.

[And Shelley would be more than willing to help with the legal efforts]

...It could.

[ He wouldn't object to that, that's for sure. ]

It's always interesting to see how men who held power slowly lose it, whether it be originally based in money, or something else.
