Fall (SVep)

A preview, I guess

Story
It's hard to think about our first major loss in a long time. I thought Angelite's wavering loyalty was hard enough to maintain but trying to win the emotions of Pink Spinel and still keep Prasiolite's thoughts off that blasted pink gem of years passed...

Nuclear activity has started up again in Sendai, their main reactor didn't handle the environment well, what with the same spot from the last meltdown now faring well.

Whatever Moonstone has planned, she's going to fall with this reactor.

Pink Spinel caught up to Angelite waiting on the warping pad, quickly sending the two off to Sendai to take care of anything. The light blue gem's reaction to seeing the mint green and lilac duo of her primary group was less than friendly: Angelite scoffed, shuddered, and pushed past Pink Spinel to inspect the damage.

"Do you not like the Pastel Gems?" Pink Spinel questioned, scanning the area for any possible Jreiv. "Or just those two?"

There was a pause as the wind blew, lightly rattling the smaller scraps of metal and pushing around papers. "It's not that I hate the Pastel Gems... I just really don't like Taaffeite. She's over the top insane about keeping everything in line. Everyone has to be friends, there can be no arguing, we have to act like our little group of great gems is just a great as we were back then. Back when Moonstone first joined, before anyone had shattered or exiled... She's extremely controlling and manipulative."

Pink stood for a few moments, contemplating her previous interactions with the purple and green pastel gems. She didn't notice anything about Taaffeite being pushy nor could she recall anything of her being controlling but, of course, she also knew that trusting the Pastel Gems wasn't something she could easily do any longer. "Why is that?"

"Why is she so controlling? Well, it started when she first joined the Pastel Gems. We never found out why but she was extremely hated by Rhodonite and was often being badmouthed by her. This was before everyone started to leave for any reason so I had never tried to talk to the two that much ever since... The only time I asked Rhodonite about the situation, she seemed offended by it, saying she had no squall with Taaffeite."

Each story Pink Spinel heard of previous times with the Pastel Gems spun the enigma more and more. Everything was, however, distracting her from the present. "As we were, here..."

"I'll go talk to Taaffeite and Prasiolite. You stay out of their sight, okay?"

Angelite walked away after Pink Spinel nodded in agreement. She went around the sight, scavenging the area for any possible Jriev that may have come about in the ruins.
