Standing in the middle of the room screaming
Who: Garnet
What: Garnet's life is becoming progressively worse and better simultaneously
When: Third week of March
Where: See prompts
Warnings: Some mentions of bad things and body horror
Cosmic Indulgence suites; Monday
[Hands and hands. Grabbing, holding, grabbing, grabbing--
Its alive. Its dead. Its what's left of friends and family. But its mixed with others not from that world. She can hear Nariko's cries, Rich's begging, among the moans of cracked gems. And Steven...Steven...
help me help me Garnet Garnet why did you LET THIS HAPPEN--
A hand grabbed her shoulder, and she woke up with a startled scream. Only to see Page shake her.
A dream. A nightmare. But also a memory. It only gets worse as Page speaks:
'The boss wants to see you'.
Its not what she thinks. Its worse. Its much worse. And this afternoon she's sitting on the couch, staring at the floor, boxes piling up in and around her room. She's not sure where Steven is, right now. She's heard rumors he went to Virgo - rumors he's still here - but somehow she hasn't been able to find him. If its not bad timing, then...then what if...what if...
Something's happened. Its clear something's happened. The question is asking Garnet what this is all about.]
Through the city; Tuesday through Friday
[Posters all over the city have popped up; the success of Heterochromia is a reason to celebrate. Its put the musical scene on fire, and Pride Records is going to celebrate by making a special junket for the people who matter. If you know the right people - or can afford the insanely expensive tickets - you too can attend the Five Years Festival, a one-night-only standing room party with Cosmic Indulgence performing their best. Then, after the main show, sign ups will happen for a karaoke duet contest. The winners will receive a special edition of the album, signed by Garnet of Cosmic Indulgence.
The other's names are oddly downplayed. Its almost as if Garnet was the main event as opposed to the entire band. Its strange. Its simultaneously coinciding with rumors that Garnet's success is causing her to consider a solo career - but those are just rumors, right?
Why not ask her herself? She's right there, across the way. She's looking at one of the promotion posters, and also, like she could use someone to talk to.]
CliniQal/House; Saturday night/Sunday morning
[This is it, the Five Years Festival. If you know someone, or can afford the tickets, you're cordially invited to the show. And what a show it is - with the way Garnet is rocking out, one could be mistaken in thinking there is nothing wrong, that she's enjoying her time in the limelight more than ever. And then there's the karaoke after - Garnet is cool with singing with whoever wants to singer with her. Otherwise, she'll sit back and watch as others duet with her.
Afterwards - at 4am - if you're up for it, if she knows you. Garnet will slip a note into your hands. Housewarming Party, Meet Me At The Stretch Bus. Those who meet her at the bus will get a leisurely, pectacular drive to the beach, where they can watch night turned to twilight, and then sunrise. Then, they will be ushered to a beautiful beach house, nestled near a small cliff. Drinks are provided, as are some bite-sized delicacies. Those who want to crash will have plenty of space to do so.
Throughout it, Garnet will do her best at playing house mistress. However, there will be times when she can be found on the house deck, staring out into the sea, her fingers trailing across the glass.]

[...If the Homeworld is where Gems came from...back where she remembered coming from...]
What was Homeworld like?
no subject
Far more advanced than Earth. Gems were colonizing the universe when the Earth didn't even have humans, under the leadership of the Diamonds. We would take planets, grow new Gems, re-form the world to fit our needs.
[Her eyes shift away.] Homeworld itself . . . I can only tell you how it was. It . . . changed. Everything was different when I went home.
Neither of you have been home in thousands of years anyway.
no subject
...
[Wait a second.]
Neither of us have?
no subject
[She's not sure how to take the next part.]
Yes.
no subject
[Steven.]Is...is it well-known, then? About us?
no subject
Yes, Steven.][Lapis frowns slightly at the question.]
It's not hard to tell. For anyone looking at you.
Any Gem, anyway.
There are no other Gems like you. And no one has more than one gem except fusions.
no subject
[She holds herself, at this. Of course. It makes sense. Why would there be others like her? Everyone from Homeworld had been disgusted in that memory from when they met. Then after?
Of course.]
And...what about him?
no subject
[She frowns, brow furrowing. Is there any real explanation for what Steven is? He's human . . . but he's a Gem. Does that mean he's a fusion? Half? Or something else?]
. . . He's Steven. [This is the only worthwhile explanation in the end. In the face of defied logic, Steven has to be accepted for who and what he is. Standard rules don't apply.]
I don't know how he happened. I don't know how he exists.
[She just knows that she needs his small light. Without it, something will cease.]
Greg is his father. His mother . . . there shouldn't be one, not the way Gems come to exist.
But he does.
no subject
[She nods. Even if she doesn't remember how, she does believe that.]
I...remember Rose Quartz, a little.
