What I want to hear on nights I can't sleep is your voice

[ ... Well, that was an absolute shitshow, wasn't it? Instead of dwelling on how she feels about everything that just happened, Mira's channeling that energy into something else--and she has a little bit of help doing it. Zerinda and Ema are here in the bar to make drinks, and Mira's brought in a ton of food that's definitely not healthy for anyone, but screw it, who cares about health right now?

Della's here to pass out invitations, too--they let everyone know there's a gathering in the bar, if they'd rather not be alone.

If you choose not to come, well... Mira's got that taken care of, too. She'll place a little container of cookies and hot cocoa outside your door. Maybe it'll help someone feel a little less alone--at least, that's what she's hoping. ]

It's...it's shards. Gem shards, forcibly fused together.

[Rose seems deeply disturbed, holding her arms about herself as she describes it. She wishes she could believe Jasper was lying, but...Jasper isn't one to weave elaborate stories like that. You can tell that from one meeting.]

I can't even imagine. Whatever their minds are like now, forced together like that...of course it would take them a long time to form.

[ There isn't an easy point of reference for Rin to understand, here, but even so, Rose's horror is palpable. It's enough that hearing her speak gives Rin the chills, too. ]

So, it's like... No, it'd be wrong to compare them to Frankenstein's monster. Since it isn't pieces of a body, but their minds...

It would probably be like that too, if they ever managed to make a physical form...

[look it's just nightmares all over]

[ hm! sounds bad! ]

So why would they do — that? I get that they would want to have the last word, but it sounds like they should have had plenty of other options at their disposal...

[ Faster, less horrific ones, mainly. ]

I don't know. They did. There are a thousand other ways they could have destroyed the planet.

[Those would have all taken more time and effort and continued the war, in a sense, but after the corruption? What would have stopped them?]

Jasper says it's meant to be a weapon. I don't know how that's supposed to work. [She can't imagine a being like that having it together enough to act as a soldier, and certainly not for the people who did all that to them.]

If it's — alive, then... Maybe they intend to just drop it on worlds and leave it alone.

[ And it must be really horrible, if that's the case, but... Apparently it's enough to destroy the earth by itself, so? ]
