this trial wasnt nearly bad enough for sad song lyrics

[oh_worm]

[ A while after... All That, Beth puts together a. Party? Like objectively, this is a party.There's no music, which is a bummer, and no real decorations, but this is a fair shot at a party. In the Lobby, so there's no real getting around it, but if people want to just go back to their rooms she's not gonna judge them.

Audrey is contributing some ART, Penny contributed a veggie tray, there are some hot dogs and corn dogs run over from the Hot Dog Place, and beyond that there's... salad. So much salad. An unreasonable amount of butter lettuce salad with different dressings. Nothing (personally) fried, and nothing that requires anyone to spend too much time in the kitchen. Because like... screw that?

Anyway, welcome to the first afterparty. Aren't you glad you didn't leave it in the hands of a total shitpost? ]

Oh...! Oh, you can't...? Well, that's no fun! Do you want me to read them to you? I can't promise I'll pronounce all the big words correctly, but I'll try my best!

[SIT.

She's ready for sweet noodle creature to read people's stories!]

[carbonairhead]

Okay, let's see... Here's Beetle, he seems like a nice man. Oh, his name sounds like yours! It says here...

[ And then she tries to read the bio, getting very stuck on the words "fragmented recollection" but managing, kind of. She continues on into Kubo's bio, and-- ]

Oh, it sounds like they know each other! That must be nice, having a friend by your side...but poor Kubo, his mom's ill and someone wants to take his eye! That's not very nice, taking someone else's eye.

[captain_cronch]

[Oh my god. He has a Steven! Just like her! There's just...humans that naturally adopt corrupted gems. That's great. She points to Beetle, clicking excitedly, she knows him!

Oh one eye? She has that! She points at her own. But that's weird, who would want a human's eye?]

[carbonairhead]

You've talked- uh, well, spent time with him? Oh, that's... [ She peers at what Centipeedle is pointing at and...

Oh! Excitement takes over Fizzy. ] Why, your eye! It sparkles, just like mine do!

[captain_cronch]

[She grins, that's right!

Centi starts trying to elaborate on that when ohhhhh holy noodle animal. A GEM. Not just a gem, but some kind of fusion. She taps her gem, pointing back to her with a gronk. You're like her!]

[carbonairhead]

[ Fizzy jumps in excitement...completely misunderstanding and nodding along. ]

Uh-huh, uh-huh! Wow, I didn't know anyone else besides the twinkle-eye ponies had gems for eyes! That's amazing!

[captain_cronch]

[Misunderstand away because now Centi thinks there's TWO corrupted forms with her.

She rushes to hug the pony, gwabbing with delight. There's someone like her!]

[carbonairhead]

[ Oh! Oh, that wasn't expected! But Fizzy leans into the hug, nuzzling at Centi's side. ]

Golly...! [ The joy is infectious. Even after the day's events...this feels nice. ] You...really are excited about this, huh? I'm glad! I really am!
