Who: Pearl and you!
Broadcast: Text
Action: On the Vanquish or on the planet
When: Now

Just so we're all on the same page, Steven Universe has left.

[and that's that. The optimistic answer is that he gets to go home, but there's still this nagging idea that she had neglected her duty.

Vanquish:
Once there's nothing left to clean, Pearl's going to take apart this engine. Hopefully you weren't about to use the ship and/or shuttle, because it's currently scattered into a million pieces.

Planet, one of the parks:
Looks like Pearl is in a swordfight with a hologram version of herself. The exercise starts off slowly, as they take measured steps around each other and trade blows and parries. As they start speeding up, Pearl starts breaking out of the set pattern. Holo-Pearl matches her blow for blow, until Pearl does a quick spin and skewers her image from behind. The hologram flickers and then disappears, but Pearl doesn't look satisfied. She could use a better opponent.]

[she watches silently as pearl spars with the hologram. she's seen projections like it before, so it isn't too shocking - she's more interested in the swordplay.

once the match is over, there's a soft round of applause from gloved hands.]


You're very skilled.
bloodbiter: (on a scale of one to stupid)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-03-09 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
You've been training for a long while, then?

[now that she isn't in the middle of sparring, addie takes a few steps towards her, maintaining a respectable distance all the same. she looks down at the sword.]

Does it still function after the projection has faded?
bloodbiter: (who needs the human centrifuge)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-03-12 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[she's heard of people who could reach that age, so it isn't new information, but it's jarring all the same. she pauses for a moment before moving past her surprise to carefully take the sword and look it over.]

It's beautiful. Did you make it yourself?

I'm sorry cherie. The ship already feels less fun without him around, but I don't doubt for a second that he isn't back home with you all there.

[She may not give that answer but Remy was going to as... it was the only way to think about it. There wasn't any room for anything else.]
cajunspice: (cross-armed)

[personal profile] cajunspice 2016-03-10 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Even then, because if those places are anything like the one I've been in, he won't remember them once he's back home. I'm not sure how much comfort that is at the moment, but in the long term it's even less than a dream. It basically didn't happen.

And you never know, he could be with another version of yourself right now, or the other gems, and I know they will keep him safe.

I'm sorry about Steven leaving. I know you guys were close.

You're Pearl, right?

[personal profile] collegedropout 2016-03-10 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Sam. I told Steven he should write a theme song for this place. I'm sure it would have been something special.

[Ha...]

I actually met him in another world before this, but he doesn't remember being there; that's kind of a usual occurrence, I've noticed. Are you doing alright?

[Well, okay, Clay can see why the engine is in pieces right now, seeing how he just got off the network to go talk to Pearl about this, only to walk into the room and see... this. He kind of stares for a moment, open-mouthed, before he shakes his head and ventures further, stepping carefully around various parts. Hopefully this'll be fixed before they're scheduled to get off the station, but he'll worry about that later.]

Pearl?
geonomy: (☆ in darkness i leave)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-03-10 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Later, yeah. It's fine, I can borrow someone else's ship for a little while.

[What's more important is how Pearl's feeling. He keeps navigating the maze of parts until he's at the open spot next to her, where he'll sit by her.]

I saw your message.

at least he gets to go home now.
though he'd probably do just fine wherever he went.


[ as long as he didn't throw things at people's heads, as he was wont to do with Isaac. ]

[personal profile] frigidaire 2016-03-11 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah i figured that. he threw a pillow at my head.
i was watching a movie. he thought i was being attacked.


[ Steven has a good arm, too! ]

[ chara doesn't make so much as an attempt to pretend they aren't immediately drawn into watch when they see the fight. they can't indulge in one here here, not yet, while they're trying to keep up the normal child act, not when surrounded by adults they'd need to lower the guard of beforehand. but simply being interested isn't too strange. after all, what child isn't amazed by strong people?

they sit criss-cross on the ground as they watch, chin in hand. it's when pearl finally finishes up they finally speak. ]


Do you do that whenever you want to fight?

that is the greatest username btw

Training! I've never seen someone able to make another of themselves to fight against.
