B1, Day 2 [public channel]

[ There are a lot of things people need to do right now: help the Prince's servants get resettled, get started on figuring out who can work on a cure for the petrification, deal with the trauma of dying in a hopefully healthy and non-self-destructive way, show the new people the ropes of what the Carnival has to work with.

Instead, in the morning of the second day since the Prince was defeated, anyone on the radio gets this: ]


So, I've been wondering.

[ The Nightrider's voice, for those who recognize it, has definitely been better. It's a low, hoarse rasp, and the pause at the end is not just for effect, but to actually catch his breath. ]

Just how old is everyone here, anyway? Here, I'll start. I'm ... pretty sure I'm almost sixty. [ A beat. ] ... Maybe.

[ Why did anyone let this man have his radio back again? ]

[ ooc; Lambert's flat on his back in the medical tent for this, feel free to bug him in person and threadjack each other at will. ]

[And it kind of clicks that she'd have no idea what he's talking about. He deflates, feeling kind of stupid and defeated.]

It's just... I guess it's a human thing.

Humans get bigger as they grow up, and usually they don't stop when they still... look like me. I keep getting older, but I'm still not any closer to being an adult. I know it's because I'm a gem, like you... and I know it's okay to be like that, but...

Sorry, Peridot. I guess I just feel like I'm not being either species very well.

You're... upset.

[Not a question: an observation.]

I'm sorry Steven. It was not my intention to make you feel uncomfortable, but I apologize for doing so regardless.

It's okay...

[It really is. He knows she didn't mean it.]

Maybe... Maybe I'll just stay 14 for now.
