a mix of arguments, tension, manipulation, gossiping, fighting, & general emotional messiness!
you weren't supposed to hear that.
don't look at me like i'm the only one lying.
want to tell them, or should i?
you think i don't know what you did?
i've hit people for less.
oh, i thought you already knew.
that's funny, you didn't say that last night.
say that again. i dare you.
you wanna talk about loyalty?
no offense, but if you're the last to know, that's on you.
go ahead - pretend like it wasn't your idea!
they deserve to know the truth.
you didn't hear this from me, but -
oh, so now you care?
don't flatter yourself. you were just convenient.
you crossed a line.
we had bets on how long it would last.
it's not even a secret anymore.
you don't get to cry about it now.
touch me again and see what happens.
say it again. louder this time.
you really thought nobody would find out?
don't act so innocent.
okay, but am i the villain for laughing?
tell me who else knows. right now.
this whole time, and you didn't say a word?
don't act brave now.
you're really gonna do this here?
it wasn't supposed to get this far!
you can't rewrite history.
oh, i'd never say it to their faces.
it was supposed to stay between us.
we're all thinking it, i just said it.
you're not as untouchable as you act.
do you even feel guilty?
they warned me about you.
go ahead, make it worse.
if you repeat this, i'll deny everything.
the next thing out of your mouth better be an apology.
you're about three seconds away from regretting this.
you keep pushing, and i'll push you back.
they're going to find out.
one more lie, and i walk.
they're lying to you.
you need to back off. now.
you're defending them? after everything?
don't try to hide it.
tell me, was i just a placeholder?
you really think sorry fixes this?
there's nothing left to say.
don't act like you're the one hurting.
i don't owe you any explanation.
whatever helps you sleep at night.
you should've seen this coming.
i hope it was worth it.
i told the truth. just not all of it.
you'll miss me before i miss you.
smile. you're ruining the mood.
i'd watch that tone if i were you.
it's not my fault you believed me.
you have such a talent for pretending you're innocent.

You're burning up. Don't argue with me. Get back in bed.
I made soup. It's not great. Eat it anyway.
You should have called me the moment you started feeling like this.
Stop trying to get up. There is nothing on this earth that needs you upright right now.
I found three blankets and a hot water bottle. Pick your combination.
You look terrible. I mean that with so much love.
Let me take your temperature. Stop being difficult about the thermometer.
I cancelled everything. Don't apologize. I wanted to be here.
You fell asleep mid-sentence. I stayed anyway. I hope that's okay.
Drink the tea. Yes, all of it. I'll make more.
I've been checking on you every hour. You keep telling me to go home. I keep not going.
Your voice sounds awful. Rest it. We can talk tomorrow.
I'm not going anywhere. Stop thanking me for staying.
You hate being taken care of. I know. Do it for me anyway.
The fever broke. I don't think you know how relieved I am right now.
Sleep. I'll be right here. I'll wake you up if anything changes.
I brought your favourite thing from the place on the corner. Don't cry. Please don't cry.
You're a terrible patient and somehow I still want to be the one doing this.
I know you think you're being a burden. You are not a burden.
Let me sit with you. I don't need to talk. I just don't want you to be alone.
You tried to make your own tea and you could barely stand up. Sit down. I've got it.
I've seen you strong. This doesn't make you weak. It just makes you human.
You smell like fever and you still somehow look like everything to me.
Lay your head here. Right here. I've got nowhere I need to be.
I brought every movie you've ever mentioned. We have time.
You're mumbling in your sleep. I'm not going to tell you what you said.
I changed the sheets while you were in the shower. Don't make it weird.
You need to eat something real. I know you don't want to. Eat something real.
I've been sitting in this chair for four hours. I'd do it four more.
Stop apologizing for being sick. People get sick. Let me help you.
Your hands are cold. Give them here. I'll warm them up.
I found the medicine in the back of the cabinet. Take it. All of it. Don't negotiate.
You're not inconveniencing me. Taking care of you is exactly where I want to be.
I didn't know you got like this when you were sick. Softer. I like knowing this about you.
You asked for me. Out of everyone, you asked for me. I haven't stopped thinking about that.
The heating pad is on the lowest setting. Tell me if you need it warmer.
I'm not leaving until your temperature is normal. Make your peace with that.
You cried a little when the soup was too hot to eat yet. I pretended not to notice.
I've never seen you let anyone take care of you before. I'm honoured. I mean that.
Your hair is a mess. Can I? Is that okay? Let me just — there.
You keep saying you're fine every time I check and you are so obviously not fine.
This is the third night in a row. I'm not going anywhere. Stop looking at me like that.
You're delirious and still trying to be funny. It's working. Please stop, I'm worried about you.
I learned how to make your mother's recipe. It took three attempts. Don't tell her.
There's nowhere I'd rather be than right here, even like this. Especially like this.
You always take care of everyone else. Just this once, let someone take care of you.
I left the light on in the hall in case you woke up scared. I remember you mentioned that once.
I'm here. I've got you. Just rest. Everything else can wait.

TRAP to pearl from coral pearl @earthbond!
This was preposterous. This entire scenario was preposterous! For once in her entire existence, she attempted to try out the human invention of an elevator. Or, one that differed from anything crafted from gem hands, anyways. What a mistake that was, to trust humans to attempt and replicate something so intrinsic. They were so fragile and so susceptible to death... why did they even need to go this high in the first place? They had plenty of land with all of their grain and seeds and things. Couldn't they put constructs there? ... Pearl relaxed from her stressed standing spot in the elevator with a sigh. She should've given them more credit. Rose did, Rose fought for them, and Rose died for them. Over thousands of years Pearl had pretended to respect the humans, and had even grown a genuine connection to them following the introduction of Steven into the world. Still, she could criticize their methods and worldviews, especially when this development of human history was coming all too fast. Only a few years ago did they use their fellow mammals for everything! The Crystal Gem walked to the edge of the elevator, the side panel that showed her the rest of Empire City. She only took this trip upwards to get to see the city from a further, elevated plane. She was giving humanity the benefit of the doubt and perhaps, yes, perhaps, even being considerate of the advancements like this city. Even though they couldn't see the stars here (she tried, but light pollution had other plans), the lights on the lower levels made up for it. Pearl pressed her hand to the glass and looked down at the rest of Empire City from her elevated existence.
"Its... definitely something, I think." Pearl was not alone. She intended to be, but someone else had stepped into the same elevator. That someone wasn't a human, either. It was someone with the same exact gem type as she had. Pearl... didn't quite know how to feel about other pearls being around her. She had been the only one she'd known of for a few millennium, and now here was a pearl who was... free. This new Era was full of many relieving surprises, even if every gem still had yet to become accustomed to it. "If we're going to be trapped in here for a, hopefully not, indefinite period, why don't we both enjoy the view? Not like there's anything else we can do." Pearl turned towards Coral Pearl and waved her hand to gesture her to her side. "Unless we broke the glass and fell back down to surface level, but I really wouldn't want to get dirty. Or risk cracking my gem. I don't even know where Steven is if he had to come fix it." Because she would rather shatter completely than willingly go to any of the Diamonds.
EMMY THOUGHT NOTHING OF ROSE’S tone, but how she spoke of humanity and happiness gave pause. Her hand slows to a stop as she listens. How would they be happy? How is anyone happy in a cruel world or a regime as Rose called it. Does she refer to the world leaders or abstract concepts like pride, greed, and wrath that govern humanity? Emmy would like to point out the wonders of life, but Rose already knows of them better than her.
COMPARED TO A BEING AS old as Rose, Emmy’s happiness seems meaningless. A fleeting speck in the cosmos. It’s easy to trail down unpleasant memories and wallow in self-hate, but Emmy moves with renewed vigor. Her short time on Earth means she should appreciate every happy moment! Her life has meaning, the meaning she gives it.
ROSE SEEMED TO MOVE ON from her depressing words, but Emmy wanted to make a point anyway. To whom is the question—maybe both of them. Assert what she’s learned since her time with the Professor. “What you just said is true,” She admits with a warm smile. “but we also make each other happy and whole. Our little roommates wouldn’t live together if they didn’t want to, and they certainly wouldn’t agree to get a dog.” Emmy purchases the two miniatures and holds them up to Rose.
“And these figures, I bet the artist who made them based them off real people. Life inspired the artist, and the artist inspired us to do a photoshoot. It’s a wonderful cycle of creation that wouldn’t otherwise happen without togetherness.”
AFTER A BEAT, SHE SPEAKS again. “And, yes, we can get that dog.”
The Crystal Gem could gather something of a discomforted air coming from Emmy once she'd stated her observation of the world. It wasn't as though any of what she said was wrong, and seemed to be something that transcended the mortal plane. Though, to avoid thinking about the implications and similar, she opted to ignore it and focus back on the greater picture. Said greater picture was the one Emmy was crafting with her words and descriptions. The photographer was correct in saying that life should be used to find joy and not sadness, depression. Death. They were unavoidable elements to the human experience, so why not use the time someone has to do good things? Emmy had great, rounded morals per usual. She didn't expect anything less. Rose's eyes widened at the description of the miniatures, listening intently to her worldview from a solely human experience. Human artists only had what existed on this planet to see and repeat, yes? That's how it seemed to be, for better or for worse. Thankfully these were just toys and couldn't harm anyone. Well, unless they could, but the possibility of that was next to none.
"Human art is wonderful, isn't it? Well, I would expect you to say so, but I think you have a point there. All someone can really do is share, right? You share how to make food with a child, and you also share a blanket with a family member. They inspire to provide food for others to eat, and warmth to keep everyone alive." Rose grinned wide, "those are just things that may happen between our dolls, and then their dog. They have to feed and keep a dog warm, like they have to do with themselves. The shared necessities of mammals are truly mind-boggling." The Crystal Gem approached the stand and looked through the selection of dog toys... literally! "Which one are you thinking, Emmy?"

EMMY BARELY SUPPRESSED THE LAUGH bubbling up her throat. Her smile wobbles, lips pressed tightly together to contain herself. Surely Rose meant a telly, but picture box is funny for reasons unbeknown to her. She manages not to laugh, but her smile is wider. Emmy clears her throat. “Yes, I agree.”
“A beach episode would be wonderful.” Rose’s words settle in her brain. Is a beach the pinnacle of life? All she can think about is getting a nasty sunburn as a result of all that sun. Would the sand be soft and warm, or scalding? As for crashing waves . . . well, she can handle a little tussle with water.
WARM OR COLD, OCEAN WATER is a pleasure. Dip your toes in, submerge completely, swim, collect shells—there’s many fun possibilities. Perhaps that’s her bias, developed after watching many sunrises on the Bostonius. Scuba diving is another hobby she wants to take up. So much of the world is covered in water, surely she could find something interesting along the coasts.
“I’m really sold on your beach idea.” Emmy says as she opens her purse. She surveys the miniatures again, looking for anything resembling a dog. “A puppy that can swim, perhaps? Two roommates and a dog living life as it should be lived.”
Okay, so it was called a beach episode. That made the quartz feel a little better! Televisions and their programs had only been around for such a short time -- and she was considering the lifespan of humans! If she thought back to something akin to yesterday, the concept of TV in general hadn't been conceived yet. Maybe she could watch more things from the picture box with humans like Emmy to get a feel for what is "in" with them nowadays. Rose gave Emmy a curious look upon the questioning tense regarding the puppy. It came across to her that all puppies couldn't swim. Wasn't that a part of their programming? Didn't all mammals have to do that? She blew a breath through her teeth at the thought; ah, she learned something new every day. She should've been more concerned about her concluding statement more than anything.
"It sounds great," Rose said in attempting earnest, though it came off as somewhat dismissive due to her tone. Her gaze was fixed on Emmy's purse, getting out everything she needed in order to confirm the trade between her and the upcoming sellers. Humans were so funny and so, so restrictive in their use of these pieces of paper. Don't they know they can grow that in their backyards? Tree matter? The quartz rose her hand to cup the side of her cheek, resting her elbow on her other arm. "From my experiences, a lot of different humans live in a lot of different ways. Some of them are happy, while some... aren't. Our roommates and their puppy would need to be happy, but how would they be happy? You humans are very experienced with making each other succumb and suffer to a... regime." Rose stared off into the distance with a blank expression before her gaze lowered. She let out a loud gasp and pointed to a stand a short ways away. "Emmy, look! The one down there has all kinds of little doggies. One of them has blue eyes! Could they get that one?"

ANTAGONISM — MEETINGS
"Still mad?" "Missed me?" "Get out. Now." "Who let you in?!" "Why are you here?" "What do you want?" "Read my lips: no." "You don't scare me." "Hey, put that back!" "You are not welcome." "Move out of the way." "Don't be like that..." "Don't test me today." "Do you mind? I'm busy." "Don't come any closer." "Showing your face again?" "You expect me to apologize?" "I won't say it again: leave it." "You know I can't let you in." "I don't trust you to behave." "You being here is bad enough." "Have you nothing better to do?" "I thought you didn't trust me?" "I don't wanna deal with this…" "I'm not here as a favor to you." "Are you still holding a grudge?" "Your presence befouls this place." "Is there a… reason you're here?" "I didn't expect to find you here." "I should just kill you right now." "What more could you possibly want?" "Do you mind getting out of the way?" "Don't you have hobbies or something?" "You're threading a dangerous line…" "What? No open arms, no welcome back?" "Cut to the chase — why call me here?" "Do they just let anyone walk in here?" "How did you… the doors were locked!" "You're not sorry, don't even pretend." "You've chosen a bad day to bother me." "Come now, no need for such hostility." "Do you find amusement in harassing me?" "You being here is enough to ruin my day." "I don't care, you need to let me through." "You should have killed me… but you didn't." "So… standoffish. Am I not allowed to visit?" "You better have a good reason for ignoring me." "Here, I brought you something!" *Middle finger.* "Seeing your face sour at the sight of me is funny." "Is that what I am to you? An annoyance? A pest?" "Were you expecting me? What a… warm welcome." "No. Whatever you're about to ask, the answer is no." "Do you just think it's funny to get me into trouble?" "You think you can just walk in here after what you did?" "I'm not going to be intimidated into letting you through." "Doesn't matter what you say, I'm not doing you any favors." "You'll forgive me for being curt, but please, leave me alone." "Grow up. We can hate each other's guts and still do business." "I won't be held responsible for what I do if you don't get out of my face." "Isn't it funny that I'm right here and you can't do anything to me right now?"
