In One Ear, Out the Other
Who: Pinkie
What: Pinkie gets a regain, becomes even more kawaii
When: Third week of March
Where: Pride HQ
Warning: Body horror?
System Crash penthouse; Tuesday
[Early in the morning, there's a high-pitched scream from Pinkie's bedroom.
She won't respond to any knocking or shouting. But she's never really locked her bedroom door, so it's not exactly hard to get in if you feel like it. Honestly, you probably could have heard her even outside the penthouse.]
Pride HQ; Friday
[Despite what's happened, Pinkie's come to the conclusion that she can't just stay inside forever.
She has to start small, though, because it is nervewracking going out like this. She ordered several very large and rather gaudy hats, and is wearing one around despite the fact that it sort of doesn't match her outfit. For once, she's dressed very down, almost to the point of drabness. It helps.
Pinkie's uncharacteristically quiet, slinking around and standing quietly in corners of public areas for a few minutes before slipping out again. Someday she'll have to go perform again. She has to get used to the terror of this, of knowing that her life as she knows it depends on nothing more than an oversized floppy hat. Every time she goes around people and nothing bad happens, it helps a little!
It's not even that she thinks the ears look bad, necessarily. They kinda match her hair, and she likes the way they move. But every time she sees them, all she can think of is Tiger and his cracked gemstone. No one wants her to have horse ears. It'd be better for everybody if she didn't.]

That's so cool...
[He says it without really thinking, and then blushes a little.]
I mean...if you wanted them, but...I think they're cool.
no subject
[Pinkie hesitates.] I don't know if I don't want them. It's just...I can't let people see me like this.
no subject
Yeah...I mean...You've got pretty big hair, right? I get you could hide them. Or...we could pretend they're a headpiece! I think...I think this stuff is happening so much now, they can't even focus on all the little things anymore.
no subject
[Her balled-up fists hover briefly over the space where her ears used to be, like she's not sure she really wants to touch it.]
I don't even...our last show wasn't even fun, Tiger.
no subject
[He's not going to deny that. He sits down beside her, leaning against the bathroom wall.]
I haven't had fun doing that in forever. I'm just kind of...too freaked out all the time.
no subject
[She guesses. Pinkie leans her head back against the wall.]
We can't just sit around here and not play forever.
no subject
Maybe if...we just make it for us, now. If you don't want to play your keytar anymore you can just sing, right? That's the most important thing! And now I can cover that stuff with the electronic stuff. And...and the bass stuff, too.
[He pauses there, frowning and feeling a little sick, but goes on regardless.]
Music is still cool, it's just...everything else. It's not even really about the music for these guys, it's just...dumb stuff, you know?
no subject
[She picks idly at the edges of her towel, trying to shake the rightness back into her fingers. The bass, right. They're kinda a shambles of a band right now, huh?]
Maybe we can just say we're making a new album or something?
no subject
[He knows they are going to expect performances because that's a bit part of what they do, but at the very least they can work on some stuff that doesn't feel awful. Maybe if they are working on a project it will be less demanding.
His voice is small when he speaks again.]
Pinkie...I'm sorry I haven't really been...a very good person to work with most of the time. I don't...I don't really feel like that was how I'm supposed to be.
no subject
[Pinkie sounds slightly bemused. She'd almost forgotten how it was in the beginning - it all seems so long ago now.]
That's okay. I think a lot of us aren't really...the way we're supposed to be, you know? Artolo and I have talked about it before, and some people from Virgo...
no subject
Yeah...I just kind of...a lot of stuff changed for me over the last couple months and I don't super remember a bunch of the stuff I said to people because my head felt really funny all the time.
But I guess this stuff is pretty obvious to everyone.
no subject
You were really bad for a while there. I didn't know what to do...
no subject
[He lifts up his shirt, revealing his gem - happily back into one piece. He runs his fingers over its surface.]
It's because I'm some kind of alien and...my gem is like part of my brain? And stuff. So when they broke it...it just kind of messed everything up for me. And it took too much energy for them to want to fix it because I'd already been really...
They were keeping something trapped here, and a bunch of us helped them escape. And we got punished for it.
no subject
[Escape...it's a topic that she's talked about before, though never with Tiger. Pinkie wonders if Helmet Guy knows about this, too.]
Where...do you know where the things went?
no subject
I know right? And it glows sometimes like this, too! Like when I used the bubble...
[Thinking about the ghost adventure is sort of painful, but he tries anyway.]
I'm...not sure where they are now, but...it really seemed like they were going to stick around to help us after we freed them.That's what they said they'd been doing.
no subject
[If not as immediately helpful as she might have hoped. But hey, glowing pink gems! That's totally her aesthetic.]
Does it do anything else?
no subject
[He smiles, that obviously being enough to bring him some comfort.]
But - it lets me combine myself with other people, too! It's...kind of weird. I did it with my dad.
no subject
[Pinkie's picturing something from some cheesy old horror movie, probably, which would be really gross if you did it in real life. But it's Tiger's magic thingie, so she tries not to let that show.]
no subject
[It's really quite painless.]
We both remember everything afterwards, though!
no subject
[Pinkie's ears are pricking in interest now; apparently distracting her from being upset is a pretty good strategy.]
That sounds kinda weird, but also kinda neat! Like some kinda mind meld thing!
no subject
[He scratches his hair uncertainly.]
It feels nice. I have a really good time doing it with my dad...Multiverse is the best.
no subject
...it's kinda funny I never thought about you guys being related before. [Universe isn't a common name. It's not even that she thought it was a stage name for one or the other or both - she just never really thought anything about it at all.]
no subject
We didn't really think of it either, initially...it just kind of...seemed like a joke? Like people made rumours about us being brothers, which seemed really silly, but now...
[He fluffs his hair.]
I guess the truth is way weirder!
no subject
[It's almost like human faces aren't quite her default wow weird]
I made a new friend over there lately! Her name's Rarity.
no subject
I know Rarity! She's in my dad's band - she was really nice to me while I was there! We played dress up and stuff.
