It’s Gem!

[ask-gemgem]

it’s gem, totally

Hi so I decided to make an ask blog!

DISCLAIMER: IM NOT ACTUALLY GEM

hit the Read More for: about gemmod, notices, gem lore, ask etiquette, and tag organization for this blog

Things About Gemmod:

She/Her

desi and WILL bring it up (sincere apologies)

minor :/

NOTICES:

None!

<Please send in asks>

Lore:

not much really. She’s half deerling, half elf (does that make her a quarter human, a quarter deer, and half elf? Not sure). And her brother is Fwhip. That’s it so far.

I can do up to Hermitcraft s9, and both seasons of empires, but s10 and SL are fine too

Ask Etiquete:

ASK STUFF I BEG

I love lore, so ask about it!

However this excludes watcher lore, I don’t have much knowledge about it and I don’t think Gem’s the right character for it.

Be respectful to me, anons, and other blogs!

Don’t be a bigot.

SEND ASKS PLEASE :D (no pressure)

Have fun!

hello! Come in!

[ask-gemgem]

hey gem would you like to do a build together

@ask-lady-darkness

oh! Sure, that would be lovely!

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh joyous day! though whatt should we build

[ask-gemgem]

How about a little cottage, but it’s been abandoned and taken over by the void? Could be a fun concept!

[ask-lady-darkness]

ooh sounds like fun

[ask-gemgem]

do you have a spot in mind?

[ask-lady-darkness]

could we put it somewhere in your base and then i could use my void magic to connect it to my other builds...ooh i could use it as a potions building!

[ask-gemgem]

uh, sure! I’ve got some land behind here.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh cool lets build it there *she smiles*

[ask-gemgem]

alright. How about we meet tomorrow so we have time to gather resources?

[ask-gemgem]

hey gem would you like to do a build together

*shadows appear in the distance of gems base, there's clearly something in the shadows observing gem, but whatever is seems to nervous to show itself, however gem if she's paying attention would see a what looks like pink hair as whatever is in the shadow pokes out and grabs some flowers before retreating back to the shadow*

@ask-lady-darkness

ooc: sorry for this being long))

there are shadows.

Show yourself!

[ask-lady-darkness]

*pokes her head out* hello *she gives a smile though its a defensive smile like that of someone who's keeping her guard up* can i help you?

[ask-gemgem]

And you are?

*gem notes the defensive smile, she takes her hand off her sword hoping to appease the nerves of her visitor*

I don’t think I’ve seen you before.

[ask-lady-darkness]

My name is Lizzie though that name doesn't fit me anymore you may adress me as lady darkness or Your Highness or some honorific *her tone is cold and formal though she still has a bit of uneasy to her expression, she steps fully out of the shadows,she is very tall about 6'2, has long hair that goes in a gradient from pink to purple to black, she has purple eyes with stars in them, she has patches of void on her upper arms (elbow to fingers), lower legs, and neck, the void parts are disconnected from the body but function normally, her outfit is a long black dress with purple roses on the neckline, she wears black starry gloves and leggings with stilettos*

[ask-gemgem]

Ah, well, hello… your highness.

what brings you to my abode?

love your gloves by the way. I think Pearl would like those.

[ask-lady-darkness]

just wandering honestly, and that you *she tilts her head curiosly* also didnt expect you to go along with the whole your highness thing, your not usually someone who respects royalty or authority, also pearl i recognize that name shes nice

[ask-gemgem]

If that is how you so prefer, then I’m happy to oblige.

Though, it did rather remind me of when a certain someone tried to make the server a monarchy.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i have no interest in ruling, though i could if you want me to *she adjusts her stance to a more confident one*

[ask-gemgem]

Ah, no thank you, nothing against your ability to rule but I do really like democracy.

Would you like a cookie?

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure a cookie sound nice, and i respect your opinion on monarchy

[ask-gemgem]

well then come in, don’t stand out here.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*enters the base* oh i was worried i would bump my head but i seem fine

[ask-gemgem]

you are rather tall but so are many hermits, and anyway grand entrances are so much fun to build.

[ask-lady-darkness]

yeah thats true im actually working on my own base though i need stuff for the build cause i have an idea just need to think of how to do it, also need a good location to put it, though having a base while world hopping may be difficult *begins muttering as she thinks to herself*

[ask-gemgem]

you could always have a home server you return to when you’re not busy world hopping. I do that between seasons.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh yeah, that makes sense and i already have a spot in mind *she stretches* though i stil

need materials for it

[ask-gemgem]

what kind of materials? I’d be happy to provide feedback on your ideas if you’d like it, no pressure of course! And we can sell you some materials if we can.

[ask-lady-darkness]

im going for a theme of like darkness, space and fear, and i know i want a lab to research those things as well as the void, but other than that im unsure I want it to be a place i can live but also an experience for people to go through does that make sense

[ask-gemgem]

oh yeah, for sure.

hmm… I think blackstone, skulk, gilded blackstone could be pretty cool. Definitely black and cyan concrete, oh, or… oh the possibilities. Lanterns, or even just torches, soul torches!

*gem sounds very cheerful and excited*

[a-fable-lost-to-time]

i know i want purples i really like that color *giggles enjoying how excited she is* but yeah give me a list of blocks as well as rooms/and features i should add and ill add em oh is there an area around/near here i can build it id love to be neighbors ...also its nice seeing you so excited about something, its endearing

ooc: ok why is this interaction making my heart melt,))

[ask-gemgem]

oh for sure crying obsidian could be really cool, it’s just a pain to get. And I think soul lanterns, oh, that one flower I keep forgetting the name of… one of the ones the sniffers give you.

you could probably have a spot near here, I’ve got land.

oh, and personally, I’d love a garden or a library, but you do you! An observatory could be really cool… man, this is giving ME ideas.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh maybe a labyrinth or like dungeon thats always shifting that could be cool, oh a library and alchemy room would be fun *her eyes light up as she thinks* oh maybe rooms themed around fears but what fears to use ..oh i want a pumpkin patch too *she starts rocking back and forth on her heels*

[ask-gemgem]

oh that would be FIRE

a moving labyrinth would be very red stone heavy though, you could always ask doc or tango, or someone.

an alchemy room… hmm that would be very fun.

some fears? Hm, some common ones like spiders and stuff. Or like, the fear of perpetual loneliness and the crushing realization that everyone has abandoned you.

[ask-lady-darkness]

ooh those are good, ideas, oh maybe to expand on the spider one it could be also a fear of being trapped, the fear of being watched could be fun though not sure how i could do this...i mean i do have magic so i feel i can use that for the fear rooms to create the effects like i can make the rooms feel like entire areas using some magic

[ask-gemgem]

just hire them

(Gem isn’t a huge fan of the watchers and often jests about them, she is very much joking in this regard)

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i dont trust them so no, i can handle all the fear stuff myself...id rather not have a potential meal stolen, though if i can find a few weaker ones they might be fun to experiment on *her eyes twitch rapidly as she lets her sanity slip due to irritation*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem raises her eyebrows but doesn’t ask*

I was only joking, I doubt you could get them to do anything for you.

Do you want your cookie? Perhaps some warm tea too?

[ask-lady-darkness]

that would be nice...*she takes a deep breath stabilizing herself*` sorry if i lost my cool ive been having trouble keeping myself together both mentally and physically sense becoming like this *her expression turns solemn

[ask-gemgem]

It’s alright.

Any allergies?

[ask-lady-darkness]

not that i know of *she sits down bored and begins mindlessy rotating her forearm, from where the void is down*

[ask-gemgem]

aallright.! Here you go!

*gem sets down a plate of cookies, half chocolate chip and half snickerdoodle, as well as two cups of tea and some bread because dipping bread in tea tastes really good, at least the tea my family makes cause i dont know how American tea works*

[ask-lady-darkness]

*was about to mix some void into the tea but decides not to feeling it would be she grabs a cookie and takes a bite* these are divine

[ask-gemgem]

oh, thank you! I’ll give you some to-go if you’d like

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure *she smiles* you know your outfit is lovely *she takes a sip of her tea* it really brings out your eyes

[ask-gemgem]

why, thank you! I rather like yours too. It’s very void and night sky -y.

[ask-lady-darkness]

well if you think it looks good ill trust your opinion, cause you seem like an expert on looking good*she smirks and sips her tea*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem leans back in her chair, blushing slightly*

ah, well, it’s an art. one you already seem to have mastered, I’m a novice compared to you

*she too sips tea*

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh dont sell yourself short, you're no novice, you are beautiful in every sense of the word *she makes a starry purple rose grow from a flower pot on the table*

[ask-gemgem]

just like that flower, that’s really pretty… sometimes I can grow plants and stuff with magic but they’re all normal plants and only if the seeds exist. That’s super cool.

[ask-lady-darkness]

my plants are made of shadows *she moves her chair closer to gem* your eyes are easy to get lost in

[ask-gemgem]

Oh really?

*gem reaches out to touch the flower, curious*

and, well, thank you :D

[ask-lady-darkness]

you're welcome

*the flower pulses with something almost like a heart beat*

your antlers are really pretty, im curious do you have a tail or no?

[ask-gemgem]

When i want to, honestly, but usually I don’t.

*gem studies the flower for a little while longer, taking a cookie*

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh thats cool *she smiles watching gem study the flower* you know can make pretty much anything out of shadows, like my outfit is made of shadows,makes switching outfits easier

[ask-gemgem]

ooh, that’s really cool. Allows you to experiment with stuff a lot, doesn’t it?

Shadow and illusion magic is so interesting, but it’s such a difficult magic to learn and master. I’m slowly working on it but I can just about create a flickery illusion for a few seconds.

[ask-lady-darkness]

can i show you the casual outfit i have the shadows make, ive just started trying the look but i wanted something less fancy

[ask-gemgem]

oh, yeah, sure! I’m curious. I mean, if it isn’t any trouble, could you explain how you do it?

[ask-lady-darkness]

its easier to show than explain *closes her eyes and shadows shift around her when she opens her eyes the shadows fade and shes wearing a new outfit, purple crop top cut to look tattered on the bottom of it, a black hoodie , some tattered black jeans with void energy glowing through the holes, some combat boots, a black beanie with purple horns, a purple choker, and black and purple headphones. Her wings are now tattered bat wings and she now has a tail*

[ask-gemgem]

Wow, that’s cool. That outfit’s nice, reminds me of something False would wear lol

[ask-lady-darkness]

Oh dont think i know that person, I don't recognize the name

[ask-gemgem]

she’s pretty cool, you’ll probably see her around some time.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*she smiles* so what do you wear for causal days or do you always look this fancy *leans back crossing her legs*

[ask-gemgem]

this is hardly fancy, I mean, I’m in overalls for goodness sakes. Though, they are rather nice, I suppose. Usually I wear whatever’s best suited to my daily tasks… which are usually gardening or building. Sometimes I wear dresses.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i must have been seeing things cause for a while your outfit looked more like something you'd see in an elven fantasy story, but now i see the outfit you mentioned, it looks nice on you *she smile twirling her hair*

(ooc: i thought she was in her season 9 outfit))

[ask-gemgem]

they are kind of similar, I guess.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*she finishes her tea and scratches her head thinking* i wonder if i could mimic your appearance well maybe not exactly but i could probably do a shadowy version

[ask-gemgem]

*gem laughs, draining her tea*

I’m curious now.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*shifts her form into looking like gem with pink hair, purple sweater and black overalls, she had silver antlers*

[ask-gemgem]

oh, wow. That’s cool

man, silver antlers look epic, maybe I should do something like that once I figure out glamor.

[ask-lady-darkness]

i think bronze antlers would look good on you *she stands up and stretches*

[ask-gemgem]

ooh, maybe, I can see it.

want another cookie? I have plenty to share.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure *takes another cookie* these are great

[ask-gemgem]

thank you! Take as many as you’d like. Want some more tea while you’re at it?

[ask-lady-darkness]

yes please that would be lovely...oh do you have any jam and toast

[ask-gemgem]

*surprised* I do, would you like some?

[ask-lady-darkness]

yeah that would nice *she smiles twirling her hair and humming a haunting but beautiful tune*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem gets up and goes to the kitchen*

[ask-lady-darkness]

*decides to check out the decorations in the room*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem returns with some toast and a couple jam flavors*

here you go! Take your pick of jam.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*grabs some blackberry jam*

(ooc: we might need to do another ask thread is getting long)

[ask-gemgem]

Do you like the jam?

((yeah we might need to, I’ll send it next time))

[ask-gemgem]

*shadows appear in the distance of gems base, there's clearly something in the shadows observing gem, but whatever is seems to nervous to show itself, however gem if she's paying attention would see a what looks like pink hair as whatever is in the shadow pokes out and grabs some flowers before retreating back to the shadow*

can i show you the casual outfit i have the shadows make, ive just started trying the look but i wanted something less fancy

[ask-gemgem]

oh, yeah, sure! I’m curious. I mean, if it isn’t any trouble, could you explain how you do it?

[ask-lady-darkness]

its easier to show than explain *closes her eyes and shadows shift around her when she opens her eyes the shadows fade and shes wearing a new outfit, purple crop top cut to look tattered on the bottom of it, a black hoodie , some tattered black jeans with void energy glowing through the holes, some combat boots, a black beanie with purple horns, a purple choker, and black and purple headphones. Her wings are now tattered bat wings and she now has a tail*

[ask-gemgem]

Wow, that’s cool. That outfit’s nice, reminds me of something False would wear lol

[ask-lady-darkness]

Oh dont think i know that person, I don't recognize the name

[ask-gemgem]

she’s pretty cool, you’ll probably see her around some time.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*she smiles* so what do you wear for causal days or do you always look this fancy *leans back crossing her legs*

[ask-gemgem]

this is hardly fancy, I mean, I’m in overalls for goodness sakes. Though, they are rather nice, I suppose. Usually I wear whatever’s best suited to my daily tasks… which are usually gardening or building. Sometimes I wear dresses.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i must have been seeing things cause for a while your outfit looked more like something you'd see in an elven fantasy story, but now i see the outfit you mentioned, it looks nice on you *she smile twirling her hair*

(ooc: i thought she was in her season 9 outfit))

[ask-gemgem]

they are kind of similar, I guess.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*she finishes her tea and scratches her head thinking* i wonder if i could mimic your appearance well maybe not exactly but i could probably do a shadowy version

[ask-gemgem]

*gem laughs, draining her tea*

I’m curious now.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*shifts her form into looking like gem with pink hair, purple sweater and black overalls, she had silver antlers*

[ask-gemgem]

oh, wow. That’s cool

man, silver antlers look epic, maybe I should do something like that once I figure out glamor.

[ask-lady-darkness]

i think bronze antlers would look good on you *she stands up and stretches*

[ask-gemgem]

ooh, maybe, I can see it.

want another cookie? I have plenty to share.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure *takes another cookie* these are great

[ask-gemgem]

thank you! Take as many as you’d like. Want some more tea while you’re at it?

[ask-lady-darkness]

yes please that would be lovely...oh do you have any jam and toast

[ask-gemgem]

*surprised* I do, would you like some?

[ask-lady-darkness]

yeah that would nice *she smiles twirling her hair and humming a haunting but beautiful tune*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem gets up and goes to the kitchen*

[ask-lady-darkness]

*decides to check out the decorations in the room*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem returns with some toast and a couple jam flavors*

here you go! Take your pick of jam.

[ask-gemgem]

*shadows appear in the distance of gems base, there's clearly something in the shadows observing gem, but whatever is seems to nervous to show itself, however gem if she's paying attention would see a what looks like pink hair as whatever is in the shadow pokes out and grabs some flowers before retreating back to the shadow*

@ask-lady-darkness

ooc: sorry for this being long))

there are shadows.

Show yourself!

[ask-lady-darkness]

*pokes her head out* hello *she gives a smile though its a defensive smile like that of someone who's keeping her guard up* can i help you?

[ask-gemgem]

And you are?

*gem notes the defensive smile, she takes her hand off her sword hoping to appease the nerves of her visitor*

I don’t think I’ve seen you before.

[ask-lady-darkness]

My name is Lizzie though that name doesn't fit me anymore you may adress me as lady darkness or Your Highness or some honorific *her tone is cold and formal though she still has a bit of uneasy to her expression, she steps fully out of the shadows,she is very tall about 6'2, has long hair that goes in a gradient from pink to purple to black, she has purple eyes with stars in them, she has patches of void on her upper arms (elbow to fingers), lower legs, and neck, the void parts are disconnected from the body but function normally, her outfit is a long black dress with purple roses on the neckline, she wears black starry gloves and leggings with stilettos*

[ask-gemgem]

Ah, well, hello… your highness.

what brings you to my abode?

love your gloves by the way. I think Pearl would like those.

[ask-lady-darkness]

just wandering honestly, and that you *she tilts her head curiosly* also didnt expect you to go along with the whole your highness thing, your not usually someone who respects royalty or authority, also pearl i recognize that name shes nice

[ask-gemgem]

If that is how you so prefer, then I’m happy to oblige.

Though, it did rather remind me of when a certain someone tried to make the server a monarchy.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i have no interest in ruling, though i could if you want me to *she adjusts her stance to a more confident one*

[ask-gemgem]

Ah, no thank you, nothing against your ability to rule but I do really like democracy.

Would you like a cookie?

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure a cookie sound nice, and i respect your opinion on monarchy

[ask-gemgem]

well then come in, don’t stand out here.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*enters the base* oh i was worried i would bump my head but i seem fine

[ask-gemgem]

you are rather tall but so are many hermits, and anyway grand entrances are so much fun to build.

[ask-lady-darkness]

yeah thats true im actually working on my own base though i need stuff for the build cause i have an idea just need to think of how to do it, also need a good location to put it, though having a base while world hopping may be difficult *begins muttering as she thinks to herself*

[ask-gemgem]

you could always have a home server you return to when you’re not busy world hopping. I do that between seasons.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh yeah, that makes sense and i already have a spot in mind *she stretches* though i stil

need materials for it

[ask-gemgem]

what kind of materials? I’d be happy to provide feedback on your ideas if you’d like it, no pressure of course! And we can sell you some materials if we can.

[ask-lady-darkness]

im going for a theme of like darkness, space and fear, and i know i want a lab to research those things as well as the void, but other than that im unsure I want it to be a place i can live but also an experience for people to go through does that make sense

[ask-gemgem]

oh yeah, for sure.

hmm… I think blackstone, skulk, gilded blackstone could be pretty cool. Definitely black and cyan concrete, oh, or… oh the possibilities. Lanterns, or even just torches, soul torches!

*gem sounds very cheerful and excited*

[a-fable-lost-to-time]

i know i want purples i really like that color *giggles enjoying how excited she is* but yeah give me a list of blocks as well as rooms/and features i should add and ill add em oh is there an area around/near here i can build it id love to be neighbors ...also its nice seeing you so excited about something, its endearing

ooc: ok why is this interaction making my heart melt,))

[ask-gemgem]

oh for sure crying obsidian could be really cool, it’s just a pain to get. And I think soul lanterns, oh, that one flower I keep forgetting the name of… one of the ones the sniffers give you.

you could probably have a spot near here, I’ve got land.

oh, and personally, I’d love a garden or a library, but you do you! An observatory could be really cool… man, this is giving ME ideas.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh maybe a labyrinth or like dungeon thats always shifting that could be cool, oh a library and alchemy room would be fun *her eyes light up as she thinks* oh maybe rooms themed around fears but what fears to use ..oh i want a pumpkin patch too *she starts rocking back and forth on her heels*

[ask-gemgem]

oh that would be FIRE

a moving labyrinth would be very red stone heavy though, you could always ask doc or tango, or someone.

an alchemy room… hmm that would be very fun.

some fears? Hm, some common ones like spiders and stuff. Or like, the fear of perpetual loneliness and the crushing realization that everyone has abandoned you.

[ask-lady-darkness]

ooh those are good, ideas, oh maybe to expand on the spider one it could be also a fear of being trapped, the fear of being watched could be fun though not sure how i could do this...i mean i do have magic so i feel i can use that for the fear rooms to create the effects like i can make the rooms feel like entire areas using some magic

[ask-gemgem]

just hire them

(Gem isn’t a huge fan of the watchers and often jests about them, she is very much joking in this regard)

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i dont trust them so no, i can handle all the fear stuff myself...id rather not have a potential meal stolen, though if i can find a few weaker ones they might be fun to experiment on *her eyes twitch rapidly as she lets her sanity slip due to irritation*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem raises her eyebrows but doesn’t ask*

I was only joking, I doubt you could get them to do anything for you.

Do you want your cookie? Perhaps some warm tea too?

[ask-lady-darkness]

that would be nice...*she takes a deep breath stabilizing herself*` sorry if i lost my cool ive been having trouble keeping myself together both mentally and physically sense becoming like this *her expression turns solemn

[ask-gemgem]

It’s alright.

Any allergies?

[ask-lady-darkness]

not that i know of *she sits down bored and begins mindlessy rotating her forearm, from where the void is down*

[ask-gemgem]

aallright.! Here you go!

*gem sets down a plate of cookies, half chocolate chip and half snickerdoodle, as well as two cups of tea and some bread because dipping bread in tea tastes really good, at least the tea my family makes cause i dont know how American tea works*

[ask-lady-darkness]

*was about to mix some void into the tea but decides not to feeling it would be she grabs a cookie and takes a bite* these are divine

[ask-gemgem]

oh, thank you! I’ll give you some to-go if you’d like

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure *she smiles* you know your outfit is lovely *she takes a sip of her tea* it really brings out your eyes

[ask-gemgem]

why, thank you! I rather like yours too. It’s very void and night sky -y.

[ask-lady-darkness]

well if you think it looks good ill trust your opinion, cause you seem like an expert on looking good*she smirks and sips her tea*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem leans back in her chair, blushing slightly*

ah, well, it’s an art. one you already seem to have mastered, I’m a novice compared to you

*she too sips tea*

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh dont sell yourself short, you're no novice, you are beautiful in every sense of the word *she makes a starry purple rose grow from a flower pot on the table*

[ask-gemgem]

just like that flower, that’s really pretty… sometimes I can grow plants and stuff with magic but they’re all normal plants and only if the seeds exist. That’s super cool.

[ask-lady-darkness]

my plants are made of shadows *she moves her chair closer to gem* your eyes are easy to get lost in

[ask-gemgem]

Oh really?

*gem reaches out to touch the flower, curious*

and, well, thank you :D

[ask-lady-darkness]

you're welcome

*the flower pulses with something almost like a heart beat*

your antlers are really pretty, im curious do you have a tail or no?

[ask-gemgem]

When i want to, honestly, but usually I don’t.

*gem studies the flower for a little while longer, taking a cookie*

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh thats cool *she smiles watching gem study the flower* you know can make pretty much anything out of shadows, like my outfit is made of shadows,makes switching outfits easier

[ask-gemgem]

ooh, that’s really cool. Allows you to experiment with stuff a lot, doesn’t it?

Shadow and illusion magic is so interesting, but it’s such a difficult magic to learn and master. I’m slowly working on it but I can just about create a flickery illusion for a few seconds.

you could always have a home server you return to when you’re not busy world hopping. I do that between seasons.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh yeah, that makes sense and i already have a spot in mind *she stretches* though i stil

need materials for it

[ask-gemgem]

what kind of materials? I’d be happy to provide feedback on your ideas if you’d like it, no pressure of course! And we can sell you some materials if we can.

[ask-lady-darkness]

im going for a theme of like darkness, space and fear, and i know i want a lab to research those things as well as the void, but other than that im unsure I want it to be a place i can live but also an experience for people to go through does that make sense

[ask-gemgem]

oh yeah, for sure.

hmm… I think blackstone, skulk, gilded blackstone could be pretty cool. Definitely black and cyan concrete, oh, or… oh the possibilities. Lanterns, or even just torches, soul torches!

*gem sounds very cheerful and excited*

[a-fable-lost-to-time]

i know i want purples i really like that color *giggles enjoying how excited she is* but yeah give me a list of blocks as well as rooms/and features i should add and ill add em oh is there an area around/near here i can build it id love to be neighbors ...also its nice seeing you so excited about something, its endearing

ooc: ok why is this interaction making my heart melt,))

[ask-gemgem]

oh for sure crying obsidian could be really cool, it’s just a pain to get. And I think soul lanterns, oh, that one flower I keep forgetting the name of… one of the ones the sniffers give you.

you could probably have a spot near here, I’ve got land.

oh, and personally, I’d love a garden or a library, but you do you! An observatory could be really cool… man, this is giving ME ideas.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh maybe a labyrinth or like dungeon thats always shifting that could be cool, oh a library and alchemy room would be fun *her eyes light up as she thinks* oh maybe rooms themed around fears but what fears to use ..oh i want a pumpkin patch too *she starts rocking back and forth on her heels*

[ask-gemgem]

oh that would be FIRE

a moving labyrinth would be very red stone heavy though, you could always ask doc or tango, or someone.

an alchemy room… hmm that would be very fun.

some fears? Hm, some common ones like spiders and stuff. Or like, the fear of perpetual loneliness and the crushing realization that everyone has abandoned you.

[ask-lady-darkness]

ooh those are good, ideas, oh maybe to expand on the spider one it could be also a fear of being trapped, the fear of being watched could be fun though not sure how i could do this...i mean i do have magic so i feel i can use that for the fear rooms to create the effects like i can make the rooms feel like entire areas using some magic

[ask-gemgem]

just hire them

(Gem isn’t a huge fan of the watchers and often jests about them, she is very much joking in this regard)

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i dont trust them so no, i can handle all the fear stuff myself...id rather not have a potential meal stolen, though if i can find a few weaker ones they might be fun to experiment on *her eyes twitch rapidly as she lets her sanity slip due to irritation*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem raises her eyebrows but doesn’t ask*

I was only joking, I doubt you could get them to do anything for you.

Do you want your cookie? Perhaps some warm tea too?

[ask-lady-darkness]

that would be nice...*she takes a deep breath stabilizing herself*` sorry if i lost my cool ive been having trouble keeping myself together both mentally and physically sense becoming like this *her expression turns solemn

[ask-gemgem]

It’s alright.

Any allergies?

[ask-lady-darkness]

not that i know of *she sits down bored and begins mindlessy rotating her forearm, from where the void is down*

[ask-gemgem]

aallright.! Here you go!

*gem sets down a plate of cookies, half chocolate chip and half snickerdoodle, as well as two cups of tea and some bread because dipping bread in tea tastes really good, at least the tea my family makes cause i dont know how American tea works*

[ask-lady-darkness]

*was about to mix some void into the tea but decides not to feeling it would be she grabs a cookie and takes a bite* these are divine

[ask-gemgem]

oh, thank you! I’ll give you some to-go if you’d like

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure *she smiles* you know your outfit is lovely *she takes a sip of her tea* it really brings out your eyes

[ask-gemgem]

why, thank you! I rather like yours too. It’s very void and night sky -y.

[ask-lady-darkness]

well if you think it looks good ill trust your opinion, cause you seem like an expert on looking good*she smirks and sips her tea*

[ask-gemgem]

*gem leans back in her chair, blushing slightly*

ah, well, it’s an art. one you already seem to have mastered, I’m a novice compared to you

*she too sips tea*

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh dont sell yourself short, you're no novice, you are beautiful in every sense of the word *she makes a starry purple rose grow from a flower pot on the table*

[ask-gemgem]

just like that flower, that’s really pretty… sometimes I can grow plants and stuff with magic but they’re all normal plants and only if the seeds exist. That’s super cool.

[ask-lady-darkness]

my plants are made of shadows *she moves her chair closer to gem* your eyes are easy to get lost in

[ask-gemgem]

Oh really?

*gem reaches out to touch the flower, curious*

and, well, thank you :D

[ask-lady-darkness]

you're welcome

*the flower pulses with something almost like a heart beat*

your antlers are really pretty, im curious do you have a tail or no?

[ask-gemgem]

When i want to, honestly, but usually I don’t.

*gem studies the flower for a little while longer, taking a cookie*

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh thats cool *she smiles watching gem study the flower* you know can make pretty much anything out of shadows, like my outfit is made of shadows,makes switching outfits easier

[ask-gemgem]

ooh, that’s really cool. Allows you to experiment with stuff a lot, doesn’t it?

Shadow and illusion magic is so interesting, but it’s such a difficult magic to learn and master. I’m slowly working on it but I can just about create a flickery illusion for a few seconds.

[ask-lady-darkness]

can i show you the casual outfit i have the shadows make, ive just started trying the look but i wanted something less fancy

[ask-gemgem]

oh, yeah, sure! I’m curious. I mean, if it isn’t any trouble, could you explain how you do it?

[ask-lady-darkness]

its easier to show than explain *closes her eyes and shadows shift around her when she opens her eyes the shadows fade and shes wearing a new outfit, purple crop top cut to look tattered on the bottom of it, a black hoodie , some tattered black jeans with void energy glowing through the holes, some combat boots, a black beanie with purple horns, a purple choker, and black and purple headphones. Her wings are now tattered bat wings and she now has a tail*

[ask-gemgem]

Wow, that’s cool. That outfit’s nice, reminds me of something False would wear lol

[ask-lady-darkness]

Oh dont think i know that person, I don't recognize the name

[ask-gemgem]

she’s pretty cool, you’ll probably see her around some time.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*she smiles* so what do you wear for causal days or do you always look this fancy *leans back crossing her legs*

[ask-gemgem]

this is hardly fancy, I mean, I’m in overalls for goodness sakes. Though, they are rather nice, I suppose. Usually I wear whatever’s best suited to my daily tasks… which are usually gardening or building. Sometimes I wear dresses.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh i must have been seeing things cause for a while your outfit looked more like something you'd see in an elven fantasy story, but now i see the outfit you mentioned, it looks nice on you *she smile twirling her hair*

(ooc: i thought she was in her season 9 outfit))

[ask-gemgem]

they are kind of similar, I guess.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*she finishes her tea and scratches her head thinking* i wonder if i could mimic your appearance well maybe not exactly but i could probably do a shadowy version

[ask-gemgem]

*gem laughs, draining her tea*

I’m curious now.

[ask-lady-darkness]

*shifts her form into looking like gem with pink hair, purple sweater and black overalls, she had silver antlers*

[ask-gemgem]

oh, wow. That’s cool

man, silver antlers look epic, maybe I should do something like that once I figure out glamor.

[ask-lady-darkness]

i think bronze antlers would look good on you *she stands up and stretches*

[ask-gemgem]

ooh, maybe, I can see it.

want another cookie? I have plenty to share.

[ask-lady-darkness]

oh sure *takes another cookie* these are great

[ask-gemgem]

thank you! Take as many as you’d like. Want some more tea while you’re at it?
