It’s been so long... 

Long since he’s seen his mother here; walking these streets, laughing and speaking to the other citizens who inhabited this city? Perhaps a little over half a year or more-so. Though Rose was always coming and going, losing previous memories of her visits, Steven could never blame her. How could he when she had no control herself? He always found it in his heart to forgive her-- forgive the scientists, even when all they had been doing was play an unforgiving joke on him and the gems as they all resided here in this city together. 

But time to digress. 

It wasn’t difficult to spot her. After gathering a few helpful tips from the locals, Steven was able to track down the direction Rose had gone. It is there that he finds her admiring the plant life a small vendor had to offer, the young gem smiling sadly to himself before walking over to catch her attention. 

“Rose--?” No, no. That didn’t sound right. It never did.

“Mom? Hey... Mom.”

“Heh. Uh, long time no see, huh?”

“…What’s animal crossing?”

“And why would they leave?”

[jocularjewel]

“Ooh, Professor Ozpin! Hi! I’m glad you asked! See, Animal Crossing is this game where you’re the only human villager in a town filled with other villagers who are animals. The whole point is to collect fruit and fish to sell, do odd jobs, and other things so you can earn bells and pay off your home! In the meantime you get acquainted with the villagers and become their friends.” 

“Actually in the newest version of the game, you’re the mayor this time who governs the village! The residents leave if you haven’t been taking care of the town for a while, so it’s understandable.”

[jocularjewel]

soooo fresh starters anyone? gonna only cap it at 2 likes for now.

[jocularjewel]

“Mmm... I haven’t touched animal crossing in a looooong time.”

“... I hope my favorite villagers didn’t leave me yet.”

[jocularjewel]

The perks of being a personable individual tag-teamed with being a risk taker. Steven more often than not had gone up to complete strangers despite the fifty-fifty chance that there may had been a negative outcome to his reaching out. But why would that stop him? All he wanted to do was make others feel good. And that’s exactly hat he intended to do. 

Picking a flower from the vase at the table he sat, Steven slid off of his seat to approach the young woman with a melancholy expression on her face. With a slight tug at her dress to grab her attention did the young boy present the rose to her, a big shining smile on his face in turn.

“For you!”

[jocularjewel]

“Woooah! Hey! I-I like your dress! It’s super pretty-- And you look great in it too of course!”

“Do you know if it comes in any other colors? Like pink, maybe? Ooh or even some sort of yellow?”

[jocularjewel]

“Came out here to see the stars too huh?” Steven hops up on the guard rail next to his companion, kicking his feet a little as they dangled over the edge of the balcony.

“It’s surprisingly clear tonight! I thought it was supposed to rain, but I’m glad it didn’t!”

Steven and Lion had been running around practically all day. The two had been in search of those who may have needed some medical attention, or others who required supplies like snacks and water. The young gem himself wasn’t much of an offensive asset most of the time, but he sure knew how to offer his assistance to others in need. 

And so he does just that. Gently tugging on Lion’s mane to have him stop walking, Steven calls out to the figure a few feet away from them. It’s his duty as a crystal gem to help those who even assured they didn’t need any. 

“Hey!”

“H-hey, do you... Need help with anything?”

It had been complete and utter chaos for the past week and a half. Innocent people were being hurt left and right with no issued protection, and perhaps even littler care for when they got seriously hurt. Though Steven could not single-handedly shield everyone from danger, he sure did his best. Using Lion as transportation while he healed up minor scrapes and bruises. He made due of the powers he had available to him for sure. 

But now he was in the big leagues just as everyone else had been.

With all abilities temporarily unlocked, the young gem was much more determined to go out and save as many people as he could. He just didn’t want people to be in any more danger that’s brewing for hours to come. While trotting beside his pink furry companion, Steven couldn’t help but spot a young girl in the midst of debris and chaos. He waved his hand to perhaps grab her attention, now jogging to her as his cheeseburger backpack filled with items and knick-knacks clang behind him. 

“Heeeey! Are you okay?” He skids to a stop in front of her, breathing a bit heavily between words.

“I-I ah, whew--! I couldn’t help notice you’re all alone here! You aren’t hurt or anything, right?”

they are adorable

Wiping your brow, you pack up your trowel and roll up what’s left of your bag of soil. The fresh petunias you’ve planted rest still in the night. Not even a breeze disturbs them, and come morning, they’ll be greeting residents commuting between Sectors 2 and 3 with bright, smiling petals.

You head off toward the train station, but not before giving your little friends a gentle tap on each of their heads. That should keep them healthy for even longer.

Your foot catches on something, and you fall forward, eating the pavement.

“Oof–!”

You crawl up onto your knees, wiping blood from your lip, and look to see what you’ve stumbled on.

Not what. Who.

You open your mouth, but your throat closes, tightening around your mind. Your hand shoots up to your mouth, stifling your gasp as if it could keep your breathing even but nothing can, no, not now.

“Gloria? Gloria, are you…” 

You crawl over, taking a shuddering breath. You check her pulse, and when you reach for her wrist, your stomach lurches. Her fingers are curled in on themselves, but not where they should be, no… too far away. Too far. A trail. Bare bone left raw for the night wind to eat, red, white, meat, as if she were nothing more than that to the monster who devoured her. “Oh, god, oh, no… no, no…” Your voice hitches, but you can’t push tears from your body. Face numbs, muscles lock in place.

❝  Atlus, someone is coming. Try to stay calm. ❞

Shaking your head, you look up. Someone is coming. Taking off your jacket, you cover her face, the wounds along her neck. No one else should see her like this. Your hand closes around the hand that hasn’t been severed, holding to catch the last traces of warmth. It was recent. 

The killer could be nearby.

It was another warm Summer’s evening for Steven. Lion trotted in front of him as the boy was on his phone, attempting to get an app to work that had been buggy all day. Some sort of virtual reality game that allowed him to catch monsters that were located in every different area one could think of for each sector. Of course the servers had been down ever since the game had been released, so there was nothing but frustration and exasperated sighs on his end. He still had his hopes to drive him though. Nothing wrong with that.

Lion abruptly stops walking, causing Steven to collide into his back with a small grunt. “Lion, we’ve been over this!” The gem groans, attempting to push and shove the feline forward. “You can’t stop walking every time you see a hot dog cart! That isn’t going to--...to...” But his pet doesn’t show any signs of hunger. Instead the beast has his gaze towards elsewhere; across the empty street, a man hovered over what looked to be a body.

Steven isn’t sure of the situation at first glance. Was he perhaps... No, no. Some criminals are much more smarter than to just hang around the scene of the crime. Unless they had only been posing as a helpless bystander. The only way he could ever find out was to go see for himself. 

Carefully the gem moved his way across the street, Lion close behind just in case anything had happened. The pungent smell of blood hit him like a speeding truck. A wave of nausea hits, causing the young boy to absentmindedly grasp at his stomach as he swallowed thickly. One second sooner and he perhaps would have lost his dinner knowing who lay beneath the coat. Raw emotion clawed desperately at the air to let Steven know that this had truly been an innocent individual in an unfortunate situation. 

At least that’s what he wanted to believe.

“H-...Hey...”

“What happened here...?”

*Licks Steven in the cheek for the National Kiss Day*

"Aww you! C’mere!” Steven laughs as GRFT gives him a sweet tiger smooch, putting his arms around her neck and nestling his face into her fur.

“Thanks girl! You’re too sweet to me, you know that?”

[sunofcupid-blog]

“It’s international kissing day huh?”

“As a protector of love, it’s my duty to give people kisses”

“I’m ready for my close-up~”

[jocularjewel]

Instead of a big ‘ol smooch, Minako would instead have a heavy body collide into her own. A lion of moderate size; not the full predatory expectation, but big enough still have a very difficult time heaving off. Lion’s only intention was to knock her out of the way in order to eat a bird that flew overhead. 

Unfortunately for her, he had made himself comfortable as if she had been his personal pillow.

Looks like it’s nap time.
