just gotta ignite the light and let it shine

Who: Everyone who's stupid enough to show up for this, because legal drinking ages are for people from a different century/planet.
When: Afternoon/Evening, Day 30
Where: Lakeshore
What: Local Carnival workers get wasted and set off fireworks by the lake.
Warnings: Carnival shenanigans, ie. booze, drugs, and people getting set on fire probably. Put any tag-specific warnings in your headers!

So, Wismuth happened.

Lambert's pretty willing to bet a good chunk of the Carnival is pretty happy to act like Wismuth didn't happen, but he also doesn't really care about what sorrows people are drowning or not tonight: he knows he needed this drink, and after he'd slept off the immediate exhaustion that came with running around Wismuth for nearly two weeks with the power of Creation more or less constantly burning through him, he's ready to something, anything to feel like himself again.

Fast-forward to the lakeshore. There's a huge bonfire going, a box of assorted fireworks that's been 'liberated' from wherever the hell engineering keeps their supplies, and probably a crate of wine that's going to disappear sooner rather than later. Anything else, someone's going to have to bring themselves.

"Like... organs?" He pauses, considering that. His knowledge of gems definitely isn't enough to question it further.

Steven brings up a good point, though. Did she know it was going to happen, if it really is that special? His expression twists as he tries to understand it. "It's pretty normal for someone to want a kid really badly, but..."

His gaze drifts to Steven's gem briefly. "That's a lot. I don't know." He shrugs. "She never told anyone why?"

"Kind of," he says. He thinks back to all he's been told about it. It's deceptively simple. "I think she really just... thought that it would be nice. To have a baby... to be a human."

"She loved humans, and was really excited that I would be one. Half of one, anyway." He's felt used by it in the past, but he doesn't right now. He's come full circle by now, back to how he felt when he first heard her explanation.

Yuya folds his arms over his knees. It's not a conversation he ever had with his parents, nor is it one he can have now. As such, for a moment he's not really sure how to respond.

"I guess... whatever it was, if she was willing to give everything up for you then you were really special to her. She'd probably be proud of you..."

After all, Steven is fighting for the sake of his world. Being a hero isn't an easy job, is it?

Steven sighs, his shoulders drooping even as he nods his head, just a little. He knows. If everything he wants to believe about her is true... she probably would be. She seemed proud of everyone, in her way.

"Yeah," he agrees quietly. "Probably."

At least he actually means it, now.
