The tech gem had to spent quite some time searching for something to say. She knew a bit of the history associated with this gem, but didn’t really care about past conflicts that she hadn’t even been a part of.

“U-Uh, thank you, Rose. It’s nice to meet you too…. But I don’t actually recall meeting you before?”

She doesn’t seem to mind the lull in conversation, smiling easily through the silence. When Peridot does speak up, her smile turns more sheepish. “I can’t say I actually recall meeting you either!It’s.. really nothing more than an odd sort of nagging in the back of my head. I’m sorry, I wis I could properly remember where I recognize you from. As it is, I’m really just babbling nonsense at you, aren’t I? Thank you for humouring me, in any case. I think I’m simply still a bit dazed from waking up. It’s my first time ever going through it, so I still feel rather disoriented. Ah- I promise to alert you if I ever start to make any actual sense. Thank you again for listening to me go on.”

“Rose you know I don’t eat I can’t even eat berries what makes you think I can eat this doughnut?” she then sat down on the floor trying to get as comfy as she could which was quite hard “If we’re going to be learning more about the humans that can I at least get a couch and maybe a bed?” she would sit on the sand, but way too many germs for her

“Oh! Of course I didn’t forget that. He’s bringing you something special, they have drinks for you to try as well. They’re not solid foods , simply cool liquids. Though, if you would rather not participate in the taste testing, I will understand.” Rose seems taken aback by Pearl’s question. “Absolutely! They have these simply intriguing little chairs that are made of beans! I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to set us up with the proper accommodations, but I promise to do my best to change that right away. Please, get whatever you wish.”

“I’m sure they’ll say yes especially if you ask them.” once the other finished ruffling her hair she fixed it “Do you think I should grow my hair out?” she had been thinking about this ever since she saw music mans hair she really liked his hair, but wondered if it would if she would look good with hair like that

“They are rather lenient to my whims, aren’t they? At the very least, they might have fun.. I will ask, then.” Rose takes the question seriously, smiling as she looks her over. “I think you should do whatever you like. There’s no harm in trying out different things for yourself. In fact, it’s the easiest way to discover what you’ll like.”

He lightly chuckled. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, too.”

“Would you do me the honors of telling me your name? I hear it’s a very important part of getting to know someone.”

glissaade - PEARL! such a wonderful pearl and even though we only have one thread going so far, i’m so impressed and so happy to roleplay with! a talented writer who i look forward to developing Pearl and Lapis’ relationship with.

countlessdazzlingstars - such a fantastic Rose Quartz! i always enjoy playing out Lapis’ relationship with Rose, but especially with this Rose. i haven’t spoken with the mun except in tags, but they seem so kind!

#hhhhh #ooc!

❝Yes, I have those memories.❞ Her voice was strained as she answered and she took a moment to wipe her eyes, waiting a few moments until she calmed before continuing. ❝I remember coming to Earth and exploring the oceans…And I remember the beginning of the war.❞

Her brows furrowed, weight shifting to one foot as she thought. This was where things got fuzzy; not that she couldn’t quite remember but rather that she never saw certain things.

❝I was injured. Bad. I had to retreat into my gem and then…I couldn’t reform because my gem had been stuffed in that mirror. I didn’t see who hurt me and since I’d retreated, I couldn’t see who put me in the mirror. I can’t exactly remember what I never saw.❞

#merglace #Ahh I feel you #I made this blog out of sheer love for Rose Quartz cause like #ahh??#But Hm #Maybe A Jasper could manage to stay angry at her.#Can I just say though #I really like how you write Lapis so far :')

Rose doesn’t waste a second of thought whether or not it was socially correct to rush over and wrap the smaller gem up in a tight hug before simply doing so. Sometimes, it felt like that could convey more than words anyway and by this point, she just thought a nice proper hug could do the poor thing some good. A solid minute goes by before she releases Lapis , holding her shoulders gently about an arms length away. “I really would like to say I was absolutely confident it was not one of my friends who did that to you, but.. that they harmed you enough to make you go back to your gem before leaving you elsewhere.. makes me question it. Lapis, I’m so sorry. That must have been so, so lonely and terrifying for you...”

“If you say so I still don’t think its a good idea to be talking to humans.” she never really liked humans in general as they would always try to sneak over the fence which ended up them being thrown back over “Were did the human go anyway he needs to apologizes for breaking the fence.”

#the-white-gem #Ahhh! I'm terribly sorry!! ;o;/ I lost this one for a bit.#but I'm lovely thank you!! :D #How are you~?

“I understand it’s a big change from what we normally have ben doing. But what’s the harm in learning more? “ Rose can’t help but to laugh as she’s reminded of the fence that lay in pieces from Greg. “Ah-- That was quite a bold move, wasn’t it? I think he’s down by the donut shop. He’s bringing us some food to try! It’s terribly exciting. ”

———- wait, can you reblog if you don’t mind random starters appearing in your tag whether it’s fluffy, angsty, etc. and if you actually reply to them when they do? just wanna see how many people do tbh.

“Somewhat. I’ve already lived around here for almost two months.”

“Two months? My! That’s quite some time. It’s a pleasure to meet you, then. Even if I am a bit late.”

“Oh can I play something called drums.” she then wondered what Garnet and Rose would play “Oh Garnet could play this thing called a bass and you can play this keyboard thing while music man and Pearl sing.” it seems like she just picked out what everyone was going to do on her own

“Sounds like you have it all planned out for us. As long as we can get all of the instruments, I don’t see any problem with it. We could all use some fun after all our hard work.” Rose ruffled the smaller gem’s hair, enthused by al her energy. “But maybe we should ask before assuming they’ll play with us, yes?”

#the-purple-gem

The response disarmed her, and Lapis found herself taking another step back. She wanted to keep yelling, to let out all the frustrations she’d built up over her long imprisonment, but what would it accomplish? Rose wasn’t responsible for what happened, Rose wasn’t who she was mad at. Breath hitched as she began to really cry, and she turned to hide her face.

The last thing she needed was for Rose to see her cry.

❝I just…I-I want to know who did it. Why was I trapped in there? What did I do wrong?❞

#merglace #Ahaa~! I understand completely pwp #And let's be real there can never be a too much for that #They're all such intense emotions and they're so fun to explore in rps~!!!

Trying to show as much respect for the other gem as she could, Rose averts her gaze. There was no shame in crying, but if Lapis was uncomfortable.. “You have every right to know, of course. But, I don’t know, Lapis. We found you in a temple with other gems. It’s nothing short of a mystery what was going on there. ” She gives it a moment before looking back towards her fully. “Ah,that raises a question from me, if you don’t mind? Do you not have any memory of your time prior to being in the mirror? ”

“I’m not doing it as a favor to you. It’s just how things are going to be – like it or not.” Jasper gruffed, resting her hands on her hips. Of course she didn’t look thrilled, especially at the prospect of having to wait. If it was up to her, she’d be chasing these.. defectors.. away already and getting this whole process doen as quickly as possible, but the Authority still had a soft spot for Rose Quartz, apparently. Jasper guessed she could see why – even for all her many flaws, Rose Quartz did have an impressive presence to her. Something about her that drew people in.

Jasper could respect that, but she wouldn’t fall for it. Even as she thought that though, she couldn’t help but be.. curious, especially as Rose laughed. An odd sound, a nervous reaction probably. It felt out of place, and it made Jasper’s frown deepen in confusion. “Good. If you don’t take it seriously, Gems will have to die, and no one wants that. Just keep cooperating and it won’t be an issue.”

The idea of having to fight Rose Quartz and her group was.. unsettling. Jasper, of course, hated traitors and defectors as much as the next loyal Gem, but there was still something inherently wrong about fighting other Gems. It’d be more challenging than fighting and subjugating the other, weaker races of the universe.. but she had no doubt it would be more taxing as well – mentally and physically. But Rose Quartz seemed smart, willing to avoid it all.

Jasper hoped that would last.

As Rose dismissed her gentle prying, Jasper tilted her head to the side, looking unimpressed. “Try me. We have time before this comes to a head. I want to know what’s possessed you to abandon your people after all this time. I’d heard nothing but praise for you until you left, your progress made with caretaking for Gems. Are you running from something?”

#spindashass #ahhh --#pwp/ I posted it a bit too soon #long post

“Regardless, even if you are simply giving me the message, I appreciate it. It was a nice gesture to come here and tell me rather than just coming. ” Rose meant every word, sincere in her thanks. The Gems from Homeworld were not bad. No one from this was. They were simply misguided, if anything. Her thoughts served as a self reminder, soothing the initial panic.

She didn’t match Jasper’s aggressive stance, her hands opened, palms outward in front of her in a sign of peaceful intentions. The other gem’s warning was sharp, bringing her expression down to a solemn smile. There had been many quiet nights spent where she had mulled over this exact worry. A war would hurt many, so, so many. But if she did nothing, it would be another world wiped away, all because of her inaction. The best she could hope for was to end it quickly, before things got too bloody. It was an unfortunate truth she had accepted. “I know. The less lives we lose , the better for all of us. Ideally, I want us all to be on peaceful terms, even if I am elsewhere. ” Clearly Jasper didn’t think highly of Earth, not that Rose expected her to. But she seemed curious, in her own way. That in itself was a bit surprising. So, falling to whims, she decides to try and explain best she could, her thoughts. “Have you ever had something you believed firmly in? Only to have something else come along and suddenly make you reevaluate everything? ” She starts off in a relatively hushed tone, her words growing in energy and in passion as she continues. “I was happy, working with Gems, helping everyone. And Earth, Earth was something new for me. I had never been to a world prior to us. .. .It’s all so beautiful, so alive here. It had me thinking hard about what we’ve been doing. Just how many worlds like this one have we crushed under our heel in the name of our world? Earth is doing just fine without us. We shouldn’t take it upon ourselves to destroy others so we can be strong. It’s not our right, not our place. It made me ashamed, quite frankly. If we just tried to understand rather than destroy... we would all be much happier."

By the end of her rush of words, the reverence was clear in every ounce of her being. It poured from her tone, shone from her eyes. She was alive and buzzing with love for this new world and it’s inhabitants.

“I recognize that we all have our ways of doing things, but really, violence is rarely the answer.”

#accurate #ooc!

❝I was trapped in that mirror for five thousand years but at least it wasn’t your intention. That makes it so much better.❞ Tears were flowing freely as she stood to yell at Rose, hands clenched tightly into fists. She had so much time to do nothing but turn bitter and resentful, towards someone that she at one point considered a friend. But seeing her face, that expression, she backed down a little, taking a small step back and becoming just slightly less tense.

❝I…❞ A hand ran through her hair. ❝I know you didn’t do it, because I know you wouldn’t do that. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that I was left there, how long I was left there. Nothing you say will make what happened to me any better.❞

#merglace #Oh absolutely!#I'm sorry for being so disorganized in that regard #but please do whatever suits you best~!

Rose doesn’t say anything right away,wanting to give the other gem time to say what she needed to; She likely hadn’t gotten very many chances to do so since she had seen her last and she deserved someone to listen at least. All that pent up frustration and sorrow hadn’t come from nowhere, after all. Truly war had no winners. Regardless, she still had hope that they could salvage some semblance of a better relationship from this. If Lapis chose to let them, that is. “As much as I wish I could change what happened to you, I know I cannot. But. . I can make my amends now. You are in charge of what happens from here on out. So please, if there’s anything at all I can do for you, let me know. “

Honestly, I’m not interested.
