Entry tags:
the hope of morning
Who: Tiger, Pinkie, and Kido. Maybe others??
What: Tiger is scared and sad on Halloween night and so he sneaks into other people's rooms.
When: Morning of the 1st.
Where: Around the System Crash penthouse.
Warnings: Maybe discussion of child abuse but idk.
If it was even possible, Tiger gets more reclusive and emotionally frayed after his apparent exploits downtown. Jin doesn't go into details, but she comes back mad, and implies that he's run off into down in the middle of a press event. From the way that Tiger has been acting, it seems pretty likely he didn't really want to come back.
Trying to talk to him about it has been impossible recently - trying to talk to him in general has been impossible. Whatever spiral Tiger has gotten himself onto seems like it's only getting worse and worse.
Tiger is trying and failing to sleep for the 8th hour in a row when he starts having those weird thoughts again. It's impossible to describe, just like one moment life is one way, and the next, it's different. Dozing listlessly, he remembers the sound of thunder.
He was younger, then. By five years, at least. He remembers shivering in the back of a van, spooked by the sounds outside, and only composing himself as well as he is due to the presence of his dad next to him. He remembers him explaining why rain falls and why thunder cracks, and how in understanding something that scares you, you can find peace.
Before the absurdity of that idea can even set in, another flash of memory comes back to him, of staring out of that same van's window at a dark and sickly green sky. Something is chasing them, he thinks. But he is finding reasons to not be afraid.
Maybe when Peridot gets to Earth, she'll see how nice all the people are...and she won't wanna hurt anyone.
Just like his mother, he tells him.
Realizing it isn't real causes his entire body to seize. No nightmare could make him feel worse than he does right then, as that feeling of warmth and pride drains away from him. He starts crying right then and there, and just wishes that this would stop - that he could be sane again, like he was before. He's rather be angry than sad.
When he can't stand the silence anymore (or imagining the rain) he steps out into the hall for the first time in a while. When he arrives, he arrives completely unannounced.

"Do you wanna stay the night here?" she asks, after another quiet moment of hugging. "I kinda miss the whole tour bus thing - this place is so big." And empty, and not really how she'd have decorated...it's not very homey, is all.
no subject
"...Yeah. Okay." He's quiet for a few moments more. "I don't like my room, either."
no subject
...oh, who is she kidding. She doesn't really. "I wanted to redecorate, and maybe replace these." Pinkie picks idly at the sheets surrounding them. They're nice and silky and all, but kinda bland by her standards. "But I was too nervous. Maybe it'd be better if we all did it together?"
no subject
So rude.
no subject
"But I mean, what're they gonna do if we put some posters up or something? Take them down?" That...probably that. "We could hang like, old-timey beads from the doors!"
no subject
"Maybe if we got them in a red tone they'd allow it because it matches," he says. "I think it would totally fit the...the thing they have going on here."
no subject
She sounds a little ambivalent on the subject of Lesedi. She tried to make friends with her when they met that one time! She just...wasn't super friendly. And that's okay! Just, how is she supposed to pick out all this stuff for them if she doesn't even really know them?
