NighttimePhilosopher- of course! We need more body positivisty out there. =)

"Amethyst, is this really worth calling me at eleven o'clock at night?"
"Didja want me to call with Steven around?"
Pearl tsks, but Amethyst has a point. The teenager knew she didn't go asleep before eleven thirty, and Steven didn't really have a set bed time- which probably wasn't their brightest idea as parents- so this was her only chance. "Amethyst, he's staying with you for the rest of the week. Are you really that impatient-"
"Yes, Pearl! Resident Evil is the only friggin' game out right now that's gonna give me a half-decent play-through. Everything else is solitary vids at best. I wanna get on it already."
"I thought we agreed we weren't doing that game."
"We agreed it wasn't something we could all stream together. We never said nothin' about solo-streamin'. My peeps deserve quality content, yo."
Pearl shifted in her office chair, rubbing at her grainy eyes. Her silk undergown was cool to the touch as she smoothed out some wrinkles. Thank the stars Garnet was in her own office, which was soundproof. "Can't you just post more of those weird food things?"
"That's a different channel, P."
"Do a vlog with Steven, then. The regulars love Steven."
"Plannin' on it, but a vlog ain't gonna replace a seven-to-ten hour stream of gore and mayhem."
"Amethyst," she huffed. "You are Steven's main guardian when under Lazuli's roof. You can't just disappear from him for that long for blood spatter, and you certainly can't let him see something like that. He's eleven."
"I'm not his mother!"
"Yes, you are! We all are, whether you like it or not. Rose is dead, Amethyst. We have to work in her place."
There's a silence on the other end of the line. Pearl half-expects the girl to hang up, and jumps when her voice fills her ears again, low and even with stifled anger.
"Fine. Night."
Pearl felt something sad bubble up. "Good night, Amethyst."
Author's Note: Resident Evil 7 was a lot of fun to watch, don't get me wrong, but there doesn't seem to be much else coming out right now. It's kinda like the Hello Neighbor craze. (I should really do one on that one; I love watching that game.)
(Also, who else is looking forward to Little Nightmares? That game is my kind of style, man.)
