the final threshold

[beejfq]

[The entirety of the past week (at least you think it's only been a week) has been...odd, even for you dead folks. Seeing between two different timelines, not being able to haunt your friends, seeing your own murder play out before your very eyes, BJ still exists- it's, quite frankly, A Lot.

But today things feel different. There's a stillness to everything, an absolute silence to the Opera House that feels empty and alien. Even if you focus you can't see or hear the living. It's like they're gone completely.

If that's not weird enough you suddenly hear BJ's voice echoing through every inch of the Opera House.]

Guys? HEY, YOU GUYS! YOU MIGHT WANNA GET OUT HERE TO THE CEMETERY!

Not me would've deserved it.

[He's quiet for a second.]

And. Me too, honestly. I'm sorry for not telling you about mom when I had the chance.

[He hasn't actually said that, explicitly, yet, so might as well.]

[herwiggles]

[ah....]

Hey, that's... a really big thing to just put out there in the world, y'know? It's not your fault Pink did all that.

[...She rubs the back of her neck.]

And... I wasn't exactly the most... attentive back then. It would've been hard to tell me, let alone get me to believe you.

[holyspit]

I still should've tried harder.

[Still. Flat on his back. He might be like this for a while.]

You're a good friend, Spinel. If the other Diamonds ever forget that- let me know, I'll come yell at them or something.

[herwiggles]

[That's fine. So long as he's fine with Spinel flopping on top of him. This is how she gets closer, unfortunately.]

Nah, you tried just hard enough. You're a good guy, Steven Universe.

[hm.]

Ad if you're ever feeling like you can't handle things, you know you've got at least one friend on your side.

[holyspit]

Heh. Thanks. But whatever that guy says, I'm handling things fine, honest.
