cause sometimes the stars seem closer than they should

[ This week's party is... a quieter affair. There's not as much salad laid out, but courtesy of Beth and Otis, there's still some, as well as some hot dogs and some other assorted quick foods from the kitchen. There aren't fancy invitations, just pieces of paper slipped under people's doors. ]

Come to the lobby if you don't want to be alone. Sorry it's mostly salad again, feel free to bring other stuff.

-Beth and Otis

[ And that's that. Come mingle and try not to think about the death of a rapidly-aged little girl! :D ]

[ Fizzy isn't sure that kind of drawing's the best to choose, but. Ohhh, how can she tell poor Centi that now? Instead, she pokes her nose into Centipeedle's hair. ]

Hey, you don't have to do that. Doesn't it hurt? ...I'm...really upset about it too, but you know, you can't hurt yourself over it.

[captain_cronch]

[She relents, giving a conflicted noise.

She just...doesn't understand what happened to her. Centipeedle ghosts the shape of a small person with her hand, making it bigger than herself. She doesn't get it, it wasn't fair.]

[carbonairhead]

You...are you confused as to why she...got like that? All older?

[captain_cronch]

[She fidgets with her hand, confirming with a confused hurt noise. Is that what happens to humans?]

[carbonairhead]

Well...everyone does that. Not as fast, usually, but...I started out as a tiny, baby pony, and now I'm all grown up. Do you not...do that?

[captain_cronch]

[WHAT.

Is that what happens to organic life? Soon she draws a hole with Centi coming out of it. It was made for her. That's how she was made, as is.

She points to the drawing of the girl, then pokes Fizzy. Is...is that what will happy to Fizzy?]

[carbonairhead]

[ ...She probably shouldn't tell Centipeedle about the time a witch sucked out her youth through an illusion, huh?

No. No, that would make this worse. ]

Well...yeah, one day. But not for a long, long time. That's...how it was supposed to be for her too.

[captain_cronch]

[Juuust a bit.

But...Centi doesn't know what to make of this. What about Steven? Will he become like them and whither away as she continues in this state?

Will she just be the last one in this game as everyone dies of natural or unnatural causes? She pulls her legs up to her chest, looking pretty shaken by this explosive truth bomb.]

[carbonairhead]

[ Oh dear. Fizzy gently sets her snout on Centipeelde's shoulder. ]

Oh, gosh... Centipeedle... I-it's normal...but, it's not really normal for you...huh? I'm sorry. Ohh, I'm so sorry.
