“ i thought you’d like this. ”(@ Blue)

♦ You present a gift, human? How considerate.

Though her tone was ever so formal, Blue Diamond’s normally rigid posture was far more lax when it was simply Pink’s old pet. Unlike many other organics, this one was extremely long-lived and had proved time and time again to be surprisingly sentient. Such as in this moment, what organic would have thought to give her something special? Blue was beginning to understand why Pink was so insistent on saving the humans on Earth, but why were the one’s in the Zoo so dim-witted compared to this one?

Ah well, quires to ponder over another time. The draped diamond straightened herself in her throne as a soft, somber smile was given to the pink-hued organic, a simple gesture of her hand instructing her pearl to approach him in her stead.

♦ What is it you have brought me?

“ walk with me? " @ Yellow or White!

misc sentence starters_____________________

Had it been anyone other than her fellow diamond, Yellow would have certainly scoffed and brushed off the gem, her duties were far more important than such trivial requests. However… she could hardly ever refuse such an offer from Blue.

The Topaz Kindergarten could manage for a little while without her attendance.

♦ … I suppose, it has been a few cycles since I have left this chamber.

With this dismissive tone she rises from the throne, giving her pearl the command to stay put and call her should her presence be required. It isn’t long before the golden diamond comes to stand by Blue’s side at the door way, giving her equal a softer look that was shown to her alone.

♦ Do you have any particular destination in mind?

What if she goes from the most unreadable to the most expressive Gem in the galaxy

[astralmatrem]

( Alrighty, White’s been changed around! I’ve kept the same backstory for her (I haven’t seen anyone else take the ancient A.I approach and I quite like that unique take), however she now possess the capacity to feel emotions to an extent. Still not very strongly on her own, but when one of the other diamonds uses their aura around her White is very susceptible to it.

The reason for this being that Yellow, Blue and Pink are all made from the essence of her light, those shades of her emotions being stripped from her herself so that she could be more efficient. So if Yellow were to feel angry around her, White would become more temperamental as well, and if Blue were saddened that White would become more somber.

This is a big part of way White showed a lot of ‘favoritism’ towards Pink, for while she was the smallest, Pink could make her feel the most pleasant of emotions. Through the time they spent together Pink became the diamond White felt closest to, the most ‘motherly’ towards out of the three. This is why White doesn’t outright harm Pink without warning, and allow her audience whilst practically ignoring the other two.

This emotions bit can also explain why White isolated herself in her ship, locking herself away to deal with her own emotions regarding Pink’s shattering (and burying them), and so that Yellow’s wrath and Blue’s depression wouldn’t influence her any.

SO YEAH, that’s White here now! Still plenty mean and rood cause she’s still not very good with empathy, but she’s got emotions and stuff that she keeps locked away from others v u v )

What's your favorite gem type? (For all the Diamonds)

♦ I am quite proud of my sapphires, they embody much of the duties the Blue Court is entitled with. Reasoning and insight, visions of the future to advise the present. I take great care when making them, from their coding to their appearances… grace and elegance is key to all sapphires.

♦ Likely the hessonites. Strong and intelligent, a deadly combination that makes them the ideal commanders of many of my fleets. Of course there are other gem types that prove their worth in various manner and earn the rank, but on many occasions a hessonite will outdo many of their peers.

♦ My favorite gems are the ones that perfectly perform their tasks, diligently and consistently~ No need in picking any one gem line!

How did you guys become the guardians of Steven? Shouldn't his father be raising him?

♦ His father…? Ah, you’re referring to the ‘Greg’ we encountered when retrieving Pink.

♦ What a silly idea you suggest, Pink needs to be protected at all costs until she can defend herself, and assume her role as Diamond. How would a human be able to accomplish this? No, it is better for Pink to be back with us.

♦ I will not let the past repeat itself. We’ve already lost her once…

Steven for the muse name meme (diamcndlegacy)

Names for Opinions__________________

♦ … Its all still strange to me, that Pink would chose this organic form over her own. I have so many questions that she cannot answer in this body. But now she is back, and we can protect her while she is vulnerable. Perhaps even begin her legacy anew, since she seems so eager to try again. I’d like to give her the chance… Surely, she has learned at least from her past mistakes.

♦ Pink’s new form continues to baffle me to this day, there’s so many things she needs to stay content now! As if it wasn’t hassle enough caring for her before, I’ve had to delve into organic biology for her sake. Something I very much keep away from my court. But… at the very least, her temper seems to have cooled, she’s far easier to reason with now. Is that her though, or an effect the organic form has on her…?

♦ It is still my Starlight, organic shell or not~ She enjoys her presents and toys still, perhaps even more so than before. This ‘Steven’ alias of hers was a little… odd, at first, but it’s quite temporary! Flesh and bone withers and rots, and Pink’s gem will return to form~

White is the most chill of the Diamonds and just likes watching stuff happen. Whether good or bad. That's amazing dude.

♦ When you are as old as I, it becomes a matter of knowing when and where your presence is most needed. I do not enjoy wasting time, after all.

♦ … Do not let her outward acts fool you. White Diamond can be incredibly swift in her punishment, if she deems it necessary.

♦ It is wise to avoid that fate at all costs.

How do you feel about cross gem fusion? ( For all the Diamonds)

♦ It is an unslightly act, I have witnessed such a fusion once and I found the resulting form to be quite hideous. A tattered, mix-matched mess of two gems, splattered together into one. Fusions of similar gems is far more acceptable, their forms more cohesive and uniform. But such things should not be required of my gems anyhow, our specialties are not in combat.

♦ Repulsive. We have on record the numerous fusions those Crystal Gems brought into battle, and nearly all of them were beast-like in shape. Hardly could be considered gems in that state, it was a disgrace on the battlefield. True, this fusion gave them strength, but any dignity a gem could have afterwards must be rather slim.

♦ Fascinating. But, unnecessary. A gem is crafted with everything it needs individually, I see to that myself.

"Yes my Diamond?" peace-and-lcve (White Pearl)

♦ Pearl, you are to travel to the colony my Cerussites have located, and report to me the planet’s condition. We cannot afford to have another failed Kindergarten.

♦ And if you find planet to be rather poorly, I’m certain you know the necessary punishments?

As even-toned as the gem ruler’s voice was, it was clear a sense of annoyance was brewing, especially when she’d given her Pearl permission to deal with the scouts as she saw fit. It was unfitting for White’s court to have less than perfect colonies, even with how scarce ideal planets were becoming.

offcolord‌:

Despite himself and the resolve that he was trying to muster up in the face of the god like gem, he was taking a few steps back when her PIERCING gaze fixated on him like he was a small piece of PREY in her throne room. His jaw tightened until his neck ached all the way down ; swallowing compulsively – and stomping down the impulse to curl into himself. Even if fingers curled into his palms into trembling fists and he felt the edges of his eyes burning.

He wasn’t dense enough to not catch the sarcasm laced deeply into her words so thickly that he could nearly taste it; shivering as a cold feeling raked down his spine and gripped him tightly against his lower back. He could feel the sharp, ill twist of terror in his gut; and it made him want to crawl to safety. There was no safety –  “And what makes you think she’s going to fall for that bait?” he asked, his voice cracking despite himself, pointing a shaking hand in her direction, the digit noticeably quivering as he did so – quickly lowering it back to his side. “Do you think I mean that much to her? To anyone? I got myself out of Homeworld the first time – it was me, not her. Not anyone else; no one CAME BACK FOR ME – what makes you think that they will this time? Maybe you should research the nobodies that you decide to try and dangle for prey.” Maybe he wasn’t being entirely truthful ; but, in the depths of his mind it was easy enough for him to believe for it to sound convincing– perhaps Rose had planned on coming back for him; but she hadn’t. HE got off that planet, with the Off Colors. He did it.

♦ How refreshing, that an organic knows its lowly place in the universe. But, you do not know Pink Diamond. Best not to pretend that you do, with the minuscule number of years you have spent in her presence.

It was rather lucky on Lars’ part that White Diamond seemed to find great amusement in his words, rather than regarding them as insults. His protests meant nothing to her, in the grand scheme of things, but it was always a pleasure watching organics squirm in her mere presence. That never got boring, no matter how many millenia passed between such moments.

♦ In the case that she does not come for you, I suppose there’s no point in keeping her playpen around. With Earth gone, it will make her decision that much easier~

Her eerily neutral smile suddenly took on a rather cruel twist, as the next few words slipped cheerily from her lips.

♦ Which do you prefer human, that I follow your advice and speed things along, or shall we wait for Pink to come and save you~?

As emotionless as she may be, occasionally little games for her to play would come to the diamond’s mind. Giving the human the illusion of suddenly being responsible for the fate of his planet, how quickly would he grow meek? She may not be capable of peering into his mind as she would with a gem, but his body language more than made up for that.

Were all humans this animated? White was beginning to see a hint of the reason why Pink had taken such a liking to this species. They shared many similarities with the youngest diamond...

White Diamond for the muse name thing!!!

Names for Opinions__________________

♦ … It is rather complicated with White. Perhaps in another age we were on better terms, but now I am only summoned when something has gone horribly wrong. I… avoid her at all costs if I can, she is not one that can truly be reasoned with.

♦ White is infuriating. We are far from being equals to her, and she takes every chance she can to flaunt this power whenever possible from her tower. Stars grant me mercy if I should do anything without her explicit permission, even when by all means they are actions well within my jurisdiction. What does she take me for, a child? I am made in her image and yet she refuses to trust me in my work.
