⇨ 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.

That feels like it's been the subject of the day - who should be saving who and who deserves saving. He understands why she would feel that way, when he considers it at all. But... it's not right.

He laughs, softly and helplessly, trying to blink some tears out of his eyes.

"Everybody's saying stuff like that right now," he says. "How... they don't want anybody else to get hurt for them. I don't know what to do about it."

He shakes his head a little.

"I know you don't want me to get hurt, but I don't want you to get hurt, either." There's another fragile hiccup of laughter. "What are we supposed to do?"

"You're supposed to stay safe. I'm under orders to keep you safe, remember?" Lapis is, of course, referring to what Blue Diamond told her when she was present. Not that Blue Diamond really needed to say that, but it definitely prevents her from running in a few situations she can think of.

Fear of a Diamond is an unfortunately powerful motivator! It's awful. Steven is lucky he has no Diamond to answer too.

"I'm not special, Lapis," he says, shaking his head some more. "You... You or anybody else getting hurt for me isn't better."

Not to mention Blue Diamond was sort of terrible when she wasn't in an AU universe. There's no reason to listen to her now.

"You are though. You're really important, Steven." And not just to Lapis, but to other people? And unfortunately some of those other people are Fae. "Stay safe next time. I'm sure other people can figure out whatever's going on, or save whoever else is in trouble. It doesn't have to always be you."
