"also, are you okay? that's a pretty decent slice of your head missing, dude." gem added onto the end of carina's sentence, as they made their way through the thick rainforest undergrowth to stand beside her and stare worriedly at the stranger. though they didn't know it, gem totally agreed with postmortem on the whole rainforest front - it was muggy, hard to navigate, and they could never shake the feeling of bugs crawling through their fur. that wasn't important right now. what was important was how much blood this guy had lost.

first of all, gemini wasn't a stalker. they really weren't. they'd just happened to be wandering around town, getting to know the territory (a fruitless endeavour; shadowclan was relocating soon, anyway), and had coincidentally wandered past kaiju's house, who also happened to be playing one of their favourite games: mario kart.
and maybe it was for the best that kai was facing the tv screen, which was opposite the window gem happened to be standing by. not that it was creepy to watch him play 3 rounds of the game, complete with little hisses of disappointment when he got shelled, but it did make it easer. unfortunately, when kai flipped back to the opening screen, the display of his tv went dark, providing a crystal-clear reflection of the window and whoever was blocking it.
gem backed away from the glass pane, ears flattening. shit.

/ does it matter i mean thot is still an insult right
thank god, people were showing up. for a couple of minutes, gem had worried that no one was interested, that this was going to be boring. gem probably would've cried.
a genuine smile lit up on gem's face as span appeared, though it faded a little when she slipped inside wordlessly. they genuinely hadn't been expecting her to show, so this was a pretty good birthday present. they followed her inside, weaving through the npcs that had already arrived, and caught up with her by the drinks. they could feel listlessness rolling off her in waves - they were pretty sure everyone else could feel them as well, so they opted to give her a light nuzzle instead of a hug and spoke softly when they greeted her. "hey, good to see you. let's catch up properly a bit later, alright?" at that, they turned again to go back outside, though they paused to throw a small smile over their shoulder before they went through the doorway.
wait, shiftingthoughts, right? gem remembered this girl. she seemed to have the wrong idea, though... "uh, gemini. throwing a party." more voices soon attracted their attention, and a small smirk appeared on their muzzle as they recognised koko. "be nice, koko." as the young cub interrogated them, a shifty look replaced their small smile. "yeah... rough patch, i guess. i'm back now, though. back for good!" when koko sauntered inside, gem only bothered to throw a warning "don't touch the vodka!" after her before turning to look at - blacky! blacky was here! oh, cool. "nah, it's the other gemini. yknow, my identical sibling?" they teased her, trotting forward to give the wolf a friendly nudge.
this was good. man, this was good.

gemi? blacky had called them that, now radio was saying it too. gem didn't mind, though - it was a nice change from, well, gem. the cougar grinned at their new leader, tipping their head to the side ever so slightly. "you too, radio. congrats on the leadership!"

normally, in a situation like this, gem would be flipping their shit.
they weren't.
sure, 99 percent of their head was filled with static, screaming on loop, an endless chorus of SITRI IS GONE SITRI IS GONE SITRI IS GONE. the one percent of them that wasn't had taken over, and gem could see clearly, hear sitri's ravings, and could just think clearly enough to have a goal. they'd have time to be thankful for all that later. right now, the goal. their expression didn't even flicker when he disappeared. if possible, it just made them look more determined.
gem whirled around, their pale eyes boring into kotoko. "he said scarclan, right? okay, cool, see you in a day or so. maybe more."
without another word, they whirled around and set off towards the border.

/ I AM THE WORST BUT I'M STILL HERE I PROMISE
span could act like a ghost if she wanted. she could slip in between the buildings unnoticed, speak as little as possible, and not give out her home address (ghosts didn't even need houses), but it wouldn't work. it wouldn't work because a) she wasn't actually dead and b) she had a former best friend who was intent on kicking her ass and hugging her. not necessarily in that order. plus, they could see ghosts, so there really was no escape.
"there you are." gem sighed with relief as they pushed open the door, catching sight of span immediately and hurrying over with their tail swishing behind them. before they could interrogate her, one of their paws shot out and saved a vase from death by span's curious paw. that was... strange. span got affectionate, sure, but she wasn't that touchy-feely. god, she really had changed. quietly, gem wondered how much of that change they were responsible for.
the vase was safe, so gem could finally turn their attention to span, as they'd been aching to do since they'd returned. they'd missed her. gently, almost hesitantly, the cougar placed a paw on their smaller friend's shoulder, and studied her bright eyes intensely, but making sure they didn't startle her. as usual, all of the emotions pooling behind her pupils was closely guarded. she looked almost... vacant. at least some things never changed.
"how are you doing?"
