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.]

I'm sorry you had to deal with that...

[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.

[He grins, obviously proud of the gem now that he's gotten used to it.]

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.
tigermillionaire: (the talk)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-03-24 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It...I think it's supposed to. But I'm not as sure if I can do all of that yet. I feel like...the bubble was always easiest.

[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.

Kind of! We just...dance, or something, and then my gem sparkles a lot and we phase into one person who looks and acts different than us! And then, we're both sort of there, and sort of not.

[It's really quite painless.]

We both remember everything afterwards, though!
tigermillionaire: (no words for how cute)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-03-26 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! It's sooo weird, but I think it was really normal when I was...where I'm supposed to be.

[He scratches his hair uncertainly.]

It feels nice. I have a really good time doing it with my dad...Multiverse is the best.
tigermillionaire: (AWKWARD LAUGH HA HA?)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-03-29 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Haha yeah...he just kind of decided on that name himself, too! And it stuck, because it's awesome.

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!
tigermillionaire: (old blush)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-04-05 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He perks up, obviously recognizing the name.]

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.
tigermillionaire: (ultimate gasp)

[Steven has run into a lot of people from his real life, but this is the first time he's encountered someone not part of that circle talking about it. His eyes widen.]

Really? Like...from...your home?

[He realizes she could mean from earlier in Vista, which makes him uncertain for a moment, but it doesn't really seem like a thing she'd randomly bring up without specifying.]
tigermillionaire: (in retrospect)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-04-06 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Remembering stuff?

[He pauses for a moment, and then nods.]

She was newer to the band, right? She probably just...I don't know. Hasn't had the chance, yet.

Are you friends at home?
