You are SPINEL. It is 2009.
Last we saw you, you were waiting for your BOYFRIEND, Anon. Anon says he doesn't want to talk to you, but he's just being CRAZY.
You last spoke with THE BLUE WHORE LAPIS and the skuzzball PERIDOT.
CURRENT CHOICES;
>Dig a hole and bury yourself in it.
>Look for technology left behind by Pink Diamond

>>6269114 (OP)
>Look for technology left behind by Pink Diamond
Finally some real fuckin questing

>Look for technology left behind by Pink Diamond
Oh hey, I remember this one. Welcome back, QM.

>Why do you even bother talking to those two.
>Great GEM you can't stand them!
>You get blackout ZORTED on human drugs ONE TIME and the state sticks you with two screwballs in a "recovery group".
>The ambulance being on fire wasn't even your fault but noooooo who cares what SPINEL THINKS OR FEELS.
>Just like with Pink!
>Pink.
>...Pink.
>You haven't thought about her in a while.
>Pink used to own this planet..
>..Wait..
>Doesn't that mean she would've left a whole bunch of gadgets and doo-dads around?
>Yeah...
>Yeah!
>Oh YES.
>You could go and loot around for something of hers!
>And if it's good then you could FORCE ANON TO LET YOU MOVE BACK IN.
>Oh this is a BRILLIANT idea!
>CLICK

>OFF you go to the beach house!
>If anyone'll have 'techy stuff it'll be the universe-gems!
>You trod ever on, enjoying the feeling of wet grass on your feet, the cool summer breeze tickling you inside and washing away the icky-yucky feelings from before.
>Silly Anon, he doesn't realize he really is your boyfriend.
>But he'll learn.
>You'll find some old gem doohickey and you'll razz him up a bit with it and then he's gonna LOVE YOU BETTER.
>Who needs to 'talk' things out when you can just beat someone up.
>Life is so much easier that way.
>Eventually, cool grass gives out warm sand.

>>6269150

>This place sure does make you feel horrible still.

Anways why is Spinel crying

>>6269172
>Ask what he's doing here.

>>6269172
>"Spinel!" Steven laughs, smiling down at you warmly.
>He steps in for a hug- you step back.
>He keeps smiling.
>"I haven't seen you in forever! Oh my gosh, what has it been.."
'Few years..
>You mumble, looking away.
>"Well, you know how it is on the road and all..finding yourself, heh. Y'unno I used to think Daad was kind of a loser for a while once I got older but now that I had some experience, I kind of get what he was going after, I mean life on the road is so special. It's just - "
Steven...why the heck are you here?
>"Huh, oh! Oh right- but..you know I could ask you the same thing, actually....Spinel why are you in my house?"
>Steven chuckles.
>"Missing your good old friend Steven huh-"
No!
>You shake your head hard, fast, it produces a loud rattling sound.
For YER information, I didn't miss you at all! I was.. I've been perfectly fine without you!
>"Oh...then..?"
I...wanted to come find sum' toys to play with, that's all.
>Steven pauses, gulping down a bit, his face flush.
>"T..toys?"
Uh..yeah..you know, like, hoozy whatsit techy-wechy thingamabobs! Old stuff yer mom probably left over.
>"Oh! Ohhhh, haha oh you meant...yeah, but whyyyyy do youuuuuu want that because the last time you had something you kind of..you know.."
It's for my boyfriend IF y'gotta know! I just want somethin' to impress him with is all.
>Also maybe leave some bruises, but Steven doesn't need to know that.
>"You have a boyfriend..."
>Steven knits his brows together, lip curling, before he sighs, slumping a bit.
>"Cool! Cool.."
>"Well," he says, straightening himself back up, "I guess that's alright...."
>You roll your eyes, turning and getting ready to leave when Steven yells out your name, causing you to flinch and turn back around.
What!
>"Don't go! You don't need to go!"
But...you're here...
>"That doesn't have to mean you gotta go, honestly!"
>The corners of your mouth pull downwards.
Steven...
>"Spinel, really, it's fine! It's honestly fine - I don't mind that you came by looking for my mom's stuff! I mean...I wish you maybe asked me or the gems but...well I guess you don't really talk to me ever but if you asked the gems that would've been nice...did you ask the gems?"
>You shake your head, it rattles more delicately this time.
>"Of course..point being, I don't mind! It's totally cool- Heck, I can even show you some stuff I think you'd love!"
I don't...I dunno, Steven...you know I don't..
>"Spinel," his smile is so warm, so gentle and delicate that you'd swear he was made of sunlight, "it's fine this time...I promise."
>Pausing, your gloved hand grabs at your opposing arm, rubbing it gently. Thinking over his proposal.
Y'promise?
>He holds up a pinkie finger.
>You giggle, holding up yours.
Alright alright alright, quit burning daylight then- take me to the toys!
>Steven shudders.
>"Aye Aye Cap'n!"
