⇨ THE PRINCE IS DEAD
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 178 - B1: Day 6
Where: The Carnival and sometimes on top of the Heart of Stone.
What: Now that the Prince is dead and gone, there's a lot left to sort out. As the remaining servants are liberated and those captured by the Prince are tended to, it's time for recovery and goodbyes.
Warnings: Nothing in particular.

HOME GROUND↴ At long last, it is over. The Prince is dead, and all of his stolen Names have been restored - all that's left to do is treat the wounds and move on. For the first day or two, the Ringmaster will be arranging passage for the servants that are left, all of which have remembered their names for the first time in years. The earth elemental that had been trapped and forced to serve as the Prince's manor, the Heart of Stone, is happy to help for the moment. It appreciates the Ringmaster's mercy, and is free after untold eons of imprisonment. Yet, there are plenty of aspects that are far from simple. There are still servants left mad and transformed into beasts, with no easy way to change them back. The Prince's spells outlive him, and those bearing his poison and his curses will have a difficult road ahead of them. Though most of the bestial servants have been rounded up, and a large number that had been reduced to unmoving statues returned, even the Ringmaster can't return them to normal so simply. The next week is for rest and for settling remaining affairs. If you want to bid farewell to any particular NPCs, or assure care is given where it's needed, now is the time to do it. ► A CURE: The Ringmaster will tell everyone simply - there is no simple way to undo another fae's magic. The Prince's powers were essentially on par with hers, which means that those who have been transformed to stone and those that were cursed into beasts and driven insane are not something she can trivially fix. It will take the work of the carnival and a couple weeks of treatment to shed the curse of stone, and the maddened servants are an entirely separate matter. She will do what she can, but for the most part she is arranging for the Prince's servants to be cared for elsewhere. At least for now, the Ringmaster will be animating the stone portions of people's bodies with magic, though those portions will still be a bit clumsy and numb feeling. ► THE NEW HEARTSTONE: In the absence of the prince, the Heart of Stone will be taking over the remains of the Prince's realm and preventing it from collapsing into void. As it turns out, the manor had been an earth elemental all along - a form of Wyld Fae almost on par to the Prince and Ringmaster themselves. How the Heart of Stone was enslaved is a long story presumably, but the Ringmaster considers it to be a sign of the Prince's own depravity. The Heart will be allowing visitors for the first couple days of this period through the portal, but keep in mind you are essentially just walking around on its body. At least the realm has a floor, now, instead an endless abyss surrounding it. |

"You're using a human term?" There's an accusatory tone in his voice.

Who's made a lot of assumptions about what happened? Certainly not 9S!!
no subject
"Invasion? What are you talking about, I never took part in any invasion. Not unless you count three gems in one ship to be an invading force, which, it isn't," the engineer huffs.
no subject
He folds his arms, defensive. Any decent invading force will have smaller teams deployed on the field first, for information gathering and for subterfuge. Unless they're just so overwhelmingly powerful... or overconfident idiots.
"How much damage was caused by your arrival?"
no subject
no subject
"Oh yeah? Why was it exploding in the first place?"
An alien saving Earth? A likely story!!
no subject
"Well-- It was set to explode because of the geo-weapon that was incubating inside the mantle," Peridot huffs. "I don't see why it matters to you anyway, I mean it's not your version of Earth."
no subject
But it's true; it's not his Earth. 9S looks away.
"It's just another case of aliens messing things up," he grumbles.
Are they there yet?
I could've sworn I tagged this on Wednesday wtf
wednesday was a lie
"Why was there a geo-weapon incubating inside the Earth's mantle?"

"One act doesn't make up for everything else you did before you turned your back on the Homeworld."
Not that... he knows exactly what she god up to. But if blowing up planets is what Gems do, then Peridot surely had a hand in that before she decided to turn her back on it! But the fact she did protect Earth does mean something, even if he doesn't openly acknowledge it.

Eventually, they'll reach the supervisor's grove. Peridot's trailer is about as weird as they come. There's all kinds of junk scattered around and pieced together to form various abstract art installations on the outside of it, an extremely tiny artificial pond out front... and also there's a mermaid skeleton pinned to the side of the trailer by a huge, nasty looking sword.
Basically it looks like a pair of aliens live there.
Peridot trudges up the front steps and yanks the door open, and she and Lapis's pet pumpkin comes racing up to the door, yapping excitedly and bouncing all over the place.
i feel so bad for peridot ; w; also wtf pumpkin is so cute
But at the sight of the energetic pet pumpkin, 9S takes a step back from the plant creature. "What the heck is this?"
This thing's weird! His instinct on encountering weird foreign lifeforms would be to kill it, but even his alien racism isn't enough to do something as stupid as getting Pod 153 to shoot his supervisor's... thing.
Pumpkin is the purest character in SU
Pumpkin notices and identifies the NEW FRIEND and scrambles over to him with another excited bark. She looks up at him with her best smile and whines excitedly, putting one of her little nub legs on his ankle in greeting.
no subject
"Is it some kind of living plant or something?"
Like Syrlya?
no subject
Pumpkin pants excitedly, more than pleased to accept the patting. 9S doesn't have to be an expert at petting! She just appreciates being acknowledged.
no subject
"Sentient? Really?" 9S looks highly dubious about that and just kind of pushes at her face with his palm. But more importantly, "So Steven created this thing? How?"
no subject
"He has some kind of freaky Rose Quartz powers on account of being half gem," she says with a shrug. "Trust me, I'd elaborate, but even I don't know how to explain the things Steven can do, and I know pretty much everything there is to know about making gems."
She turns to walk into the trailer, waving 9S after her.
no subject
Really, the main attraction is the tech, not the weird biological construct. So it's actually with a bit of eagerness that he follows after Periodot. "Am I allowed to hack any of your stuff? I won't blow anything up."
This time--

Being a supervisor's trailer, this one is a lot bigger on the inside than it would appear to be on the outside, and it's full of even more ridiculous artistic pieces than the exterior, too. Peridot leads 9S over to her work bench, which is covered with scattered parts and tools, as well as one of the tiny little remote controlled surveillance robots that she'd brought with her into the manor. It's like a tiny little sphere with four spindly legs and proportionately huge camera affixed to the front of it. There are also a few farming robots here, ones meant to till the earth and water the ground in her garden, others meant for harvesting crops. Off to one side there's a particularly alien looking piece that just looks like a sphere the same color as the surveillance robot, about the size of a bowling ball. It has no other visible features.
"So this is what I have on hand right now," Peridot says, and she's feeling uncharacteristically self-conscious about what little she has to offer.
