passing shifting on their way over, gem twitched an ear and the corner of their moth up as they arrived. "hey, kotoko."

well, that was one way to make an entrance. gemini screwed their face up and coughed as the hellsmoke nestled itself in their lungs, stepping back to avoid the blinding light. as their- as sitri stepped out of the smoke, they slowly opened their eyes and stared unabashedly as he formed. it was a little disconcerting, sure. seeing your 'friend' materialise out of smog was a bit weird, even if the friend was the demonic prince of hell. mostly, though, it was hot.

seeing a new body of sitri's was always fun, and this was no exception. he seemed... bigger in this body. like he filled it out more. gem wasn't sure why, but hey, no complaints here. the cougar shifted as sitri greeted them, meeting his eyes with an easy confidence that not many other people could muster when talking to a practiced sadist. whatever. wilful ignorance, right?

because it would be a little tactless to start the conversation with 'hi are you in love with me', gem answered sitri's question with a question of their own. "is that a new body?"

gem brushed past shifting as they hurried forward, offering a toneless " 'scuse me." as they reached stu and ducked under his shoulder to support him. "dude, where were you?" they asked their old friend, tail flicking anxiously as they took on his weight. once making sure stu wouldn't fall over, gem turned to acknowledge shifting. "don't worry about it, he's an old friend."

gem gave a slight exasperated laugh upon hearing of stu's adventures. some things never change. "seriously, though, do you want some help with those cuts?" they asked, offering a grooming.

gem had heard things about this chick. not good things, mind. she seemed to annoy a lot of people, and gem was fast becoming one of them. they arrived next to span, brushing their tail along her hind leg in a comforting manner, but their expression turned from slight disapproval to shock as shifting spoke."hey, whoah, what? you ate who?"

everyone came back, huh? gem snorted. like the majority of their clanmates, gemini was calling bullshit on that one. the cougar shot her a glare as she walked past, not bothering to actually say anything, and shot a glance at rinto as he left.

host hadn't come back. neither had alaska, or minho. tatsumi, though? gem couldn't speak on behalf of him. even though shifting was annoying and like eighty percent wrong, she was like 20 percent right. some people did come back from the dead. for now, though, all shadowclan could do was mourn and hope. so, taking their usual place beside span, gemini did just that.

fuck.
fuck fuck fuck fuck.

sure, gem had been absent for a little while. these things happened - slumps came, and slumps went. they weren't stupid by any measure, so they should really have figured it out by now. when gem left, people left as well. first, it had been host. now, it was span.

gem scanned the note again and again, trying to make themselves feel anything but dull despair. their best friend, their leader, their- their lost love... she'd always been there. since immy, since gem's returns (all 3 of them). she, she, she couldn't just be gone. maybe it was just to the rift, or to bloodclan, but that felt worlds away, and the blue splatters made them wonder if she'd make it.

who am i going to sit next to now?

okay, the legal age for alcohol and sex and all those Adult Things was 12 moons, but gem was still excited. they didn't really know why. just let them have this, alright?

gem had been away again, and this was a good way to announce their return, in their opinion. a party, a way to remind everyone that they were still the same person outside their slump. even if maybe hypothetically they weren't really feeling it right now, a good party would definitely solve that problem. and besides, their best friend was back! she probably wouldn't be here tonight, but she'd be here in spirit (not an actual spirit, thank god), which was good enough for gem. all in all, they figured the only way to get out of this mood was to shove fake happiness down their own throat have some fun. make some fun.

the party itself was a small affair with the potential to become a giant blowout swinging-off-the-western-style-chandeliers affair. directly inside the house, there was a moderately large, airy dining room that was laden with food and many beverages, all alcoholic (though there was some apple juice set aside for any kids that decided they were cool enough to show up. kotoko, probably), and there was dance music pumping quietly through a pair of portable speakers on a shelf to the side of the room with space for dancing. unbeknownst to anyone in the clan, gem had claimed a house near the town center a couple of days earlier, had sent anonymous invitations around the previous night, and was currently camped just outside the door, peeking quickly through the curtains now and then.

even though there was still misery pooled in gem's gut, there was excitement fluttering around their ribcage. they were excited to be back, to see everyone again, to get back into the swing of things. so, at 8 o'clock (more or less), gem swung open their front door and announced their return.

"hiiiii!"

[fancypost bgcolor=; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; width: 375px;][justify]first meeting since span's departure/return, it seemed. gem padded up and stared at radio, quietly assessing him. not in an unkind way, though - they just wanted to get a feel for what their new leader was like. after maybe a minute, gem decided that radio looked totally at home addressing the clan, and proceeded to nod along with the announcements with a small smile on their face.

gem hoped they were going back to a city. any city. god, they missed the city.

kudos to whitaker for the title

this is gem! i've bounced back and forth between museful and museless with them, but i'm determined to make this return stick

gem is a giant dweeb who's outgoing and friendly, and likes to do new things and get into trouble. on the inside, tho, they're a bit of a mess. they hold themselves to stupidly high standards and don't really think they're good enough, as well as not prioritising their own happiness as much as they should. also they're v empathetic so they will probably know all ur secrets >:3c

open to

[li]friends[/li]
[li]best friends[/li]
[li]friends with benefits[/li]
[li]frenemies[/li]
[li]enemies[/li]
[li]adopted family[/li]

might consider

[li]short flings[/li]
[li]pregnancies (your character not gem)[/li]
[li]major injuries[/li]

closed to

[li]death[/li]
[li]long-term reltionships (theyre taken sry)[/li]

if theres anything you want to do but dont see, ask away!
