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.

[He doesn't have to sleep if he doesn't want to! Pinkie mostly just doesn't think he needs to be up and wandering around. Now, she leans forward to hug him, patting his head with one hand.]

It's okay. You're back now! So everything's...it's all gonna be okay!

[She leans back, swallowing.]

You might wanna eat anyway. You get sicker if you don't... [She trails off uncertainly. That's true, but it applies a lot more to normal sicknesses. Eating's probably not going to do anything about all this glowy stuff.]

[He isn't all that good at making his own decisions at the moment, anyway. He's fallen into a mindset of just doing whatever he's told without thinking about it. He didn't even try fighting back against this beyond a certain point. He couldn't.

He is comforted by hugging her, though, and holds onto her without question until she leans back. He feels bad for making her deal with this.]


I'll try...

[He looks down at the bed uncertainly.]

I'm sorry.
sailorlaughter: (No party?)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-19 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! I'll just...I'll make you some toast!

[That's easy, right? A simple kind of thing for his stomach to take. But Pinkie doesn't get up, instead sitting down on the bed beside him.]

Hey, you don't have to be sorry! It's not your fault!
tigermillionaire: (hold on tight and try not to die)

[He presses his hand over the cracked gem on his belly, for once not worrying about whether anyone looks at it or not.They already know. Everyone already knows, to a depth that makes him feel violated.

His voice wavers a little.]


Yeah it is. I broke the rules, it's my fault.
sailorlaughter: (Awww...)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-19 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean they get to do this!

[Pinkie's hand hovers briefly over his stomach and the weird gem thing, before moving back to his head instead. Her fingers feel too thin and wobbly and weak, turning her stomach a little even as she runs them through his hair.]

They're in charge. They shouldn't treat you this way. Anyway, I should've been keeping a better eye out for you.
tigermillionaire: (awkward turtle)

[He finds it comforting - enough that he pushes past the blankets just enough to lean against her side. He feels like he deserves everything that happened to him, but he doesn't feel like she deserves to be guilty about it.]

No...don't...don't feel bad. I had to...I think I had to do it, but...

But I shouldn't have...

sailorlaughter: (oh god what even)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-19 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[She wraps an arm around his shoulders.]

That doesn't matter. Even if you did the worst thing EVER, they should never ever have hurt you like this!
tigermillionaire: (hold on tight and try not to die)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-02-19 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can't really claim that they didn't hurt him, or that it wasn't that bad, because it was. It's hard not to feel like he deserves it, because it's something that's been forced into him. The associated feelings are rigid and unnatural, and more than enough to trap him while he's like this.]

I don't think they want me here anymore...I got all messed up.

[He presses his palms to his temples.]

I wish I could go home.
sailorlaughter: (Bwuh?)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-20 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah. Yeah, that'd be nice.

[It's not that she wants him gone - far from it. But if it came down to never seeing him again and knowing that he was safe at home somewhere? Of course.]

Where'd you used to live, anyway?

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-02-20 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He knows what he should say. That he was born on the East coast, in the mansion belonging to the father he hates. But none of it seems true anymore. It's not the backstory he wants to have, anyway.]

Somewhere far away...

[His cloudy eyes stare into the space ahead of them.]

With my real dad. I...I can't remember.
sailorlaughter: (Flop)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-20 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Pinkie guesses she already knew the story, but it doesn't seem like a real thing anymore. Maybe it never did - just the way he never talked about it, or had any stories from when he was younger. Like it might as well have not even happened.

Anyway, she gets not remembering things.]


That sounds nice.

It was on a beach...

[He nods, obviously agreeing with her observation. It had been nice. Everything had been nice.]

Just me and him...in a van...and there was the ocean...

[The ocean is so central to all of his thoughts about his real home. He doesn't think he spent much time there in the world he remembers here.]
sailorlaughter: (Doubtful)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-21 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I never really saw the ocean until lately.

[Even now, it's not like she goes to the beach or anything. The idea of trying to swim, when some days her legs just don't bend right, is too frightening.]

I grew up on a farm. With...my parents and sisters, I guess.
tigermillionaire: (friendship tho)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-02-22 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Did you like it there?

[All of his memories of his real home are fond, whereas his memories of his home here are almost exclusively negative. Why does he feel like that? Why did they make him feel like that, if they aren't real? It's too much to take in.]
sailorlaughter: (Parasprite Polka)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-22 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I guess?

[She shifts, uncertain with relating all of this.]

I don't remember it too well.

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-02-24 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Me neither, but...

[He shakes his head, leaning into her again after she shifts.]

But I want it back. I want...me back...I'm sorry...
sailorlaughter: (I...what?)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-24 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
...why are you sorry?

[Of course he does. It sounds so much better.]
tigermillionaire: (blank)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-02-24 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Because...I shouldn't...

I shouldn't talk to you about this because...they don't want me to. And it's dumb. I've been being really dumb.
sailorlaughter: (Flop)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-24 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pinkie snorts.] Well, they can't hear us here.

[Probably. Can they? Don't say that. If they could there'd probably be a lot more problems than there are.]

And it's totally not dumb. All THIS is dumb.
