⇨ THE EPILOGUE

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 61
Where: The Carnival
What: After all the rescues team return, it will be matter of tending to the wounded and getting the hell out of dodge. The Ringmaster can handle the fleeing part, but someone will need to look after those in the medical tent. Or, maybe, you just want to show up and ask what the hell happened.
Warnings: Some messed up consequences of faerie fuckery.

IN REPAIR↴ As the minutes tick past, all four rescue groups will eventually return. Everyone in the carnival is encouraged to help out, ensuring that the rescues and victims both are taken care of after the fact. You can tag in here as rescuers taking care of business around the carnival, victims recovering, or other workers checking in to see what's going on. This log is for general aftermath threads, made by anyone.

"I mean, if there's any soda in here, sure," says Amethyst. "Why, you wanna give one?" She sounds a little skeptical, honestly.

[mirrortide]

"I have literally nothing better to do." Especially since Peridot is adamant that Lapis remains here until she's looked at and given the okay to go. "So if you go find one, I could."

[drrdrrdrr]

Amethyst taps her chin. Talking to Lapis is proving pretty dang uncomfortable, but... This definitely sounds preferable to just hanging around worrying about Steven.

"Sure, okay," she says.

She's back about ten minutes later with an armful of soda cans, some of them from worlds the Carnival's stopped at where what passes for soda isn't safe for human consumption.

"Hup." She dumps them onto the floor of the medical tent. "Okay, so, I was wondering -- can you still move the soda around while it's inside the can?"

[mirrortide]

Honestly, Lapis isn't expecting Amethyst to come all the way back after she leaves, but the fact she does doesn't exactly put her off any. Truthfully, Lapis doesn't mind that much. She's not Peridot, Steven or even Pumpkin, but the distraction is nice all the same.

"I don't see why I wouldn't be able to." It does, however, take her a moment to find the liquid in the can with her powers, and it does take a little more effort to lift it than it'd take if it were, say, outside the can. Which, floats up, though the can around it kind of wobbles unsteadily, since that's not what Lapis has control over.

[drrdrrdrr]

"Sweet!" says Amethyst. She watches the can wobble for a moment... "You think you could try lobbin' it, like, right at my head?"

[mirrortide]

Lapis gives her a look. Peridot and Steven would be mad if she did, wouldn't they?

Lapis gives it three seconds of Serious Thought, before shrugging, and lobbing the Soda at Amethysts head.

Full force.

[drrdrrdrr]

Amethyst takes a quick step back, braces herself, and catches it in her mouth. She wasn't quite prepared for how hard and fast Lapis flung it, though, so the force of it hitting the back of her mouth sends her reeling backwards, crashing into an empty cot, and leaves her lying on her back tooting soda out of her mouth like a bubbly fountain.

[mirrortide]

To be fair, Lapis thinks this is exactly what Amethyst wanted. So she doesn't even bother asking if she's alright, she just kind of. Waits for her to get back to her feet.

[drrdrrdrr]

This isn't exactly what Amethyst was anticipating, but she absolutely isn't complaining. A second later, still lying on her back, she lifts an arm to give a thumbs up, and then she sits up, swallowing the crunched can.

"Holy shit, dude, you really beaned that thing!" She looks delighted.

[mirrortide]

"... Wasn't that what you wanted?" She asks, finally, because Amethyst's words make her wonder a little bit? She did say to throw it at her...

[drrdrrdrr]

"Yeah, it was awesome! I just didn't think you'd be able to smash it so hard 'cause it was sorta wobbly when you picked it up." She pushes the back of her hand across her mouth. "Kinda like when Peridot was just figuring out her metal stuff, y'know?"

[mirrortide]

"It's wobbly because it's kind of hard to grab if I can't see it. Once I have it it's not so much an issue, really." Also because Lapis doesn't have so much a hold on the can as the liquid inside.

[drrdrrdrr]

"Neat," says Amethyst, and tosses another soda into her mouth like it's candy or something*. Cronch. "Well, I got a bunch more of these, so -- wait, I dunno if you eat or drink or anything."


*can-dy

[mirrortide]

Lapis looks at Amethyst, raises her eyebrow... And then shrugs her shoulders, and holds out her hand.

"I don't normally. But I figure I might as well keep the trend from the past few days going." Let's see how this can kicks her ass, just to fit the theme.

[drrdrrdrr]

"Trend, huh?" Amethyst raises her eyebrows as she hands a can over that claims to be 'tropical' flavour. "Well, if you don't like it we can use the rest of these to make a mess, whaddaya say?"
