And yeah, like, so this little fox pokemon guy that I never saw before steals my vampocalypse notes from Steven's desk? And like, we need those notes. My buddy Shinobu uses them to summon me into the skinlands so I can visit my brother and have fun and watch movies and anime and shit. We're working on a way to get my best ghost friend Alain to come with because he wants to see how shit's changed in the last six centuries.
So I run after the little fox guy. And Shinobu, Steven, and Gil all run after me. And then suddenly I'm solid and in the other Steven's ghost basement and he's coming down the stairs and looking at me like he hasn't seen me in years.
[She rubs her neck, giving an awkward chuckle.]
And then I find out that there's like a version of him here that's been like living in Goldenrod for months and has, like, a boyfriend and everything, which is super weird if you know Steven because he got his heart broken super bad once and basically has sworn off romance forever. So like, it's really cute and encouraging that he went and U-Hauled it with his boyfriend here.
But. Uh. Yeah. There's the one you have and then there's the one who's from like his future with me? And honestly, it's kinda nice to be around the one you've got here. He changed a lot between when he got replaced with Pod Steven and when Shinobu summoned me. Your Steven's closer to the one I remember
[Guess what's very much genetic? Durante-style rambling.]

And she has no idea what to say in reply, other than-] ...boy you guys really are related huh...
[Uh, anyway.] Well, good to know that we probably have the genuine article then! He's a cool guy!
no subject
You know, people keep saying that.
But yeah, he's the coolest! I'm glad he's got so many good friends here. I think this place is probably good for him, too. He seems more or less happy.
no subject
Yeah. I'd think it's a good place to be..!

I'm glad.

Heck, even if someone does 'die', they just black out and wake up in one of the pokemon centers...
no subject
[There's an odd note in her voice, though. Because she's fairly sure that the one who'd chased her here wouldn't be.]
no subject
[Hm]
You uh. Don't exactly sound thrilled about it over all.
no subject
[She bites her lip.]
I still love him, you know? But he's so different than he was eight years ago. Yours is closer.
no subject
...Hmm. That's... ...Jeeze, I don't even know how to take that, [she mutters, swallowing.] I mean, I won't press about how he's different but...
...
I'm sorry, I guess. If he's so different that...peace doesn't sound nice to them.
no subject
I guess it's stupid, though. To be upset that he'd changed a lot in eight years... ten on his side. Especially when part of it was trauma and shit. You can't blame someone for having traumatic shit happen to them.
no subject
I don't think that's stupid though. It's not stupid to miss someone you knew, or a version of someone you knew. Not at all, especially not when the reason things changed is because of something bad!
So don't think of it as stupid, okay?
no subject
I'm glad, [she says.] That you're his friend. You've got a way of making complicated emotional shit make sense. Not everyone can do that. Though I guess that probably makes you everyone's therapist, [she adds thoughtfully.] Which could kinda suck if you have your own emotional bullshit to take care off.
[Then she shakes her head.]
Sorry. Right. I just realized-- I never introduced myself. I'm Thorne, Thorne Durante--but if Steven ever mentioned me, he probably called me 'Charley.'
no subject
Hah! Well! Uh, I'm Carly! [She laughs, getting a small kick out of the similarities.] Nice to meet you, huh...
I ah...well, I've definitely had to do my share of talking people down though, so you got that right... ...It's better than watching people mess up through it though, honestly.
no subject
But it's nice to meet you too, Carly! This place is really cool. I almost wish I could stay, but I'd miss my ghost friends.
no subject
...I'm guessing that's not a common American name then huh...
[Well, oh well.] Well, there's a strong chance you can visit again at least! So just keep that in mind right? ...Good to hear you have friends- er. Well not so good that they're ghosts but, uh.
...
It seems lonely otherwise.
no subject
And, I mean, normally I'm a ghost these days. So it's not weird my friends are too.
no subject
And no no, I wasn't saying it was weird! Just... ...It feels like it'd be easy to be lonely, like that. If there weren't others anyway.
