Pearl fidgets with items in her inventory when she gets overstimulated, and when she doesn't have smth to fidget with, like at the beginning of a series, she just. Holds a rock. Bc it's better than nothing, even if it looks weird.

@formerunknownb MKAY SO LIKE IM CRYING <333

Skizz has one of those very oversized teddy bears (yk like the ones that are prizes for games at a fair or carnival). Gem showed him the trend where people take the stuffing out of the bears and wear them, and Skizz immediately started removing the stuffing from it, and promptly used it to jumpscare any and every hermit he could. After scaring Tango, though, it got caught on some machinery, sadly ruining his costume and ended his shenanigans.

Pearl still has echoes of masochism even a few years after DL. Specifically when she goes to heights, gets frustrated, or touches something cold. Whenever she starts feeling that way, she goes to her base and layers herself under heated blankets until it passes. One time, she couldn't stop herself from having a panic attack while collecting ice for a build, and ended up with frostbite that didn't heal for weeks. From then on, she always took Skizz with her whenever she went anywhere below normal temps for more than a few minutes, because he wasn't in double life, and had never done her wrong. Skizz never asked for details, but he never hesitates when she asks.

I JUST READ YOUR FRAGMENTED SOULS AU AND I LOVE IT
