BEACON TIME (Partly Closed, Partly Open)

This is it. The day is finally here. The day that CY-Ren is going to start the destruction of this world, once and for all... and then everything else will follow.

He isn't excited, but he isn't scared either. He refuses to be scared. He's spent so much time being afraid lately - both on his homeworld and in the carnival. In the end, the complications that have arisen as a Harbinger have only proved his feeling more concretely - people will always find a way to hurt him. They'll lie to him, they'll betray him... they'll leave him.

He can't take this anymore. Can't it just be over with? He'll show them all. He'll leave them, first.

Tonight, Steven is running beacon duty. Even after fleeing the penthouse, he couldn't say no when CY-Ren asked for his help. He knows that none of this was her fault, and he said he would do what she needed. Which means that, currently, he's sitting on a massive leaf, far up the stem of a building-sized rose - the dark flower bud has only just started to bloom, revealing enormous crystal petals that glow a brilliant pink. The light itself is a beacon to the darkness of the Void, and walls of vicious thorns protect it from the outside.

Meanwhile, Steven sits up top, withdrawn and melancholy, wishing he could disappear. If he could choose to be gone already, he would be.

[OOC: The successful redemption is closed to Joker and Peridot, but if you want to just have a run in with him while he's pulling his bullshit, I am down for that!]
