I'll tell you all how the story ends
Who: Ghost Quest kids and all those who want to see them.
What: So as it turns out, going against the label might've been a bad move. Who knew, right?
When: Feb 3rd and after
Where: Pride HQ
Warnings: Talk of torture, aftermath of violence, aftermath of brainwashing, dudes there's some dark stuff.
For the past three days, the troublemakers and ghost helpers of Pride Records were kept locked away from their friends and their bands.
As far as everyone else knew, they were just gone. And then they were back.
They are all worse for wear, some far more than others and some much more mentally than physically, but they are all returned to their penthouses, finally, at the end of their ordeals.
But, at least they're back. Somewhat in one piece. For the most part.

Oh my god.
[She falls to the floor, staring. What...what is this? What...what did they..!?]
Steven.
[She knows. She knows, but she's so shocked, she forgets for the moment, as she crawls over. She wants to take his face, to examine him, if he'll let her.]
What did they do to you.
no subject
I made her do it...
[His explanation is absent - confused.]
I did something really bad.
[1/2]
No. No, no no no no...
[Even if she doesn't remember, that cracked gem is not good, and she knows it. She draws him in tight, as if to keep him grounded, shaking her head over and over, repeating no until her tears began to flow.
When he speaks, though, she looks at him.]
No, no you didn't. You didn't make anyone hurt you. She had no right...
no subject
Her grip tightens, becomes shaky.]
She had...no right. You did...nothing wrong.
[If anything, whatever he did, maybe it helped them. And that's why he was punished. Because Lesedi - how did she ever think that woman was anything but a miserable, horrible human being? God. She worshiped the woman.
That disgusting, vile woman.]
This is her fault. Not...yours.
no subject
He whines, pushing against her like he's trying to escape.]
No! No...I...I did. I did. You didn't see.
no subject
This is all I need to see to know. You're hurt and that's what I see. How do you deserve any of this?
[She needs to...she needs to contact Greg. Steven needs his father.]
no subject
L-Let me go! Please...
no subject
Tiger...
no subject
Instead he just looks sort of haunted, like he's trying to pretend that whatever is going on with Garnet here isn't actually happening. Like if he ignores it long enough it will go away.]
no subject
[She excuses herself for a moment. She calls Greg, speaking in a low, rushed voice. She needs to do something. She needs to get Steven out of this place.
She can't let them hurt him anymore.
After she finishes, she turns back to the boy, trying to reach out towards him.]
Steven. I...we need to go. I'm going to help you. Please.
Please.
no subject
He's behaving. They have to believe him.]
No.
[He grabs at his hair, more cracks of light shattering across the skin of his back and up his neck.]
no subject
Your father...he wants to make sure you're all right...!
[Getting worse. Its getting worse, isn't it--]
no subject
[The breaks seem to appear more with stress than with time, like the weakness it brings makes it harder for him to hold himself together.]
I'm just...going to stop.
[He lays down on the floor, curling around his gem protectively. He's not going anywhere. He can't, and he won't.]
no subject
He's giving up, isn't he.
He's giving up. This wonderful boy, who brought so much hope to her, and the Crystal Gems, who believed in everyone...
She doesn't know what to do.
She doesn't know how to save him, like this.
I failed.
Rose...I'm so sorry.
I'm...we're the worst. We couldn't save him.
This is my fault.
But she has to try. She has to try and help him.
Forcing herself to the phone, she write to Greg. When he responds, she doesn't know. Where was truly safe in Pride? And how can she get Steven there?
Breathing fast, trying to force the horrible feeling forming in the pit of her stomach to stay where it is, and rubbing her left eye of tears, she looks back up at Steven.]
A-at least...Tiger...let me get you to your room.
You need to...r-rest...
[Please say yes. Please say yes..]
no subject
Okay...
[He trusts her to not take him somewhere else. Not when he said no.]
no subject
All right. To your room, then.
[She'd make sure to get what Greg asked for, but right now, Steven getting where he needs to go is the priority.]
