The nacreous lady was quite surprised by the reaction in the strangers. Her instincts took her hand at the grip of her sword, embracing it firmly. Her fighting skills were yet vague enough to reach the similarity of its efficiency in those older times when she used to be the holographic copy of certain renegade fighter who used to be a slave.

◈– ❝Huh– I d-do not see necessary to raise your weapons…❞ She offered hesitated, even though perceiving that such forms of hostility could be shown at living forms too far to defend themselves. Allow them to continue with their purposes & risk those poor humans nearby them to end upon a tragic fate was considered for herself an act of negligence. And as a silent guard, she would fulfill her self-assigned task.

That expression of insecurity has vanished from her face to attempt showing seriousness. She wasn’t there for casual encounters and befriend everything that moved, she was there to protect. And perhaps, trying to befriend everything that moved.

– ❝Even though, if you DO WISH TO ENGAGE IN COMBAT;

then I am ready to accept your CHALLENGE.❞

Within the next lines & as a last offer to talk peacefully, she spoke with a calmer and gentler tone;

– ❝UNLESS; ( again ); you take the 𝓼𝓶𝓪𝓻𝓽 choice of verbal interaction.❞

“Is that so? You think you can honestly stop the both of us/” The big fusion rumbled in response. He was confident that he could take her on his own- she seemed so small in comparison, and his dual weapons would have given him the upper hand. His reach with his sword was long, and the dagger offered not only protection, but a means to attack anyone who stepped too close. And yet, he hesitated, glancing down at his companion. “Take care of her, Ametrine.”

“What? Me?” She turned her head in surprise, staring up at the larger Quartz as a lump formed in her throat. They both knew she wasn’t nearly as skilled in combat as he was. “But I-”

“But you could use the training.” He cut her off, glaring over her head at the slender figure before them, even as he backed off. “And you need a good report.” Or you might be shattered. Chevron didn’t have to say the words- the grim look on his face was enough to remind Ametrine that she was on thin ice back home. There was only so much either of them could do. If he was caught lying to protect her, they might separate him, or worse.

The smaller Quartz swallowed thickly as she turned her attention back to the small, slight person standing between her and the tiny humans they wished to interrogate. She seemed so thin and nonthreatening, even with the sword in her hand. Right, she could do this. She was a Quartz, not a Pearl. Fighting was in her coding.

“You know we can’t just talk this out.” Ametrine scowled down at her opponent as she eased herself into a poor semblance of a fighting stance, Holding her shield as high as all the ridiculous spikes would allow. “You should just... run or... hide or something.”

“No, no, not like that, not- you’re going to break it, you- you!”

The Pearl clamped his mouth shut when the fusion glared at him from over his shoulder before returning to his task. Tahitian Pearl had ‘liberated’ just enough earth currency to buy a bit of human technology, but there was no way in all the galaxies he was going to touch the ‘keyboard’. The human who’d sold it to him touched every single bit of it as he set it up to function, even after wiping the... stuff dripping from his nose on the back of his hand. The thought of even handling it made the Pearl shudder violently and made him wish he could retreat into his own gem.

And so, he was stuck letting the fusion handle it. An arduous ordeal in its own right. With his large hands, Chevron Amethyst had no choice but to use a carbon-filled stick to tap each key individually as he tried to navigate the archaic communications system. Of course, the Pearl squawking over his shoulder wasn’t helping his concentration, and neither were the odd stares the passing humans gave him. More than once, Chevron paused to glare at one of them until they hurried off, which only made the annoying gem behind him squawk even louder. “You know,” he began, stooping down low to peer at the screen. Or, he tried to, at least. The bench was too small for him to move comfortably, and his knees were pressed up into his chest to begin with. For some inane reason, the humans had welded the bench to the table, rendering him unable to move it without breaking the whole slagging thing.

“That’s it, that’s it! That’s her! Click it now, Chevron!” The fusion sighed when he was interrupted, but clicked on the tiny image of a blonde woman, then handed the ‘headphones’ to the Pearl. And finally, he had peace. The fusion’s shoulders slumped as he turned the monitor aside for Tahitian Pearl to enjoy his earth... video. He tried squinting at it, but without the audio, he was lost and left staring in confusion at the white clad humans writhing about on screen. Was that supposed to be dancing?

He only grew more confused as the human he could only assume was the ‘GaGa creature’ came on screen. With a shake of his head, he turned to watching the humans as they went by, ignoring the Pearl as he began to bob along to the beat. Anything was more entertaining than trying to figure this out.

“Sapphire’s?” Oh, who could that be? The tiny gem pondered on Ametrine’s words. Judging on Black Star’s body language, she really meant no harm to the foreign duo. But it was understandable that they didn’t think so, they were on opposite sides when it came to Homeworld and Earth.

“Okay, and I’m not afraid of gems like you!” Black Star replied, wearing a confident, yet somewhat cheesy grin. “I may be small for my gem cut, but I’m more than capable of defending myself!”

“Not afraid? Not afraid?!” The dark colored Pearl piped up, raising his voice in pure agitation. Fragments, this wasn’t good at all! He knew he should have taken the fusion instead. He squinted down at the strange little rebel, pursing his lips as he tried to come up with some way to scare her off. “Do you have any idea who you’re talking to? This is the great and mighty Ametrine, one of the best pit-fighters in the cosmos!”

Her lips parted in surprise when he said that, and she very nearly interrupted him, but thought better of outing him as a liar infront of the enemy. “She’s shattered hundreds- no, thousands of captured rebels in the arena! Can’t you tell that she’s a complete and utter brute?” With a theatrical gasp, the Pearl threw his slender arm over his face and shuddered. “Ohh, I grow faint even thinking of the carnage she’s caused. Why, even the Agates tremble and avert their gaze when she enters the pits. You’d do well to fear this mighty warrior!”

“Well, you two are traveling together, aren’t you?” If the two were together, they surely must’ve been friends, or at least acquaintances. But that was Black Star’s logic. The grey gem blinked her eyes slowly when she was, again, addressed as a rebel.

When she witnessed the line drawn in the sand, Black Star huffed. “Look, I don’t want trouble, I’m just, curious about you guys is all. Besides, I’m not a fan of fighting.”

“So? That doesn’t make us friends!”

“Yeah, he’s Sapphire’s... Pearl.” Ooh boulders, she shouldn’t have said that. They were talking to a rebel, a Homeworld-hating, gem-tarnishing rebel. Rebels did weird, horrible rebel things, she shouldn’t have said anything about Sapphire! Ametrine’s eyes went wide- she could already feel the Pearl glaring at her back in silent anger. She’d definitely be getting an earful when they got back to the ship.

The quartz swallowed thickly and forced a nervous smile. “O-oh? Well...That’s funny. Because I love to fight. I’ll fight anything, so you’d better not try anything. I’m not afraid of rebels like you.”

@qcaesitr:

The young adventurer rested under a tree after a long morning training. A new mission waited for her not much after a couple hours of sleep. Some bug crawling on her face had to quit her sleep and make her shaking her head. Finding its current location was impossible, the grass in abundance didn’t let her focus their ocular orbs in her temporal companion.

–maybe it was a spider.

She stood up quickly, satisfied with the couple hours of rest. Like the older version of herself, she took the grip of her sword & started to make some fast movements, as a preheating before the true battle she would be facing. her objective: corrupted gems. Even if she didn’t want to fight them at all, she had to use some method of self-defence if things would make hard. She would make sure to spot at areas that could put them out of battle but not out of existence.

A passing conversation has called her attention, suddenly. The fusion put her sword on the scabbard hanging on her waist, climbing other tree to approach the source where such ambiguous mumbles came from. The most she heard, the most she realized about a possible exploration in deep over a couple scout young humans not much far from there. She frowned slightly, questioning the objectives the whispers were discussing.

Within a jump she landed, finding a couple creatures in front of her. They weren’t as distant as her estimations stated. One of them seemed to have a colorful gradient of purple & gold-like yellow on their skin & big part of their clothes, while their companion was more like monochromatic. Both seemed to have a tough musculature, but it didn’t seem intimidating for the slender hybrid.

◈– ❝What is up, fellow travelers! Might I help you with something?❞ She asked kindly, waving her hand in a polite manner.

The smaller of the two gems was the first to jump when something dropped from the trees hardly a few feet ahead of them. She stumbled slightly on the uneven ground, but caught herself before she could hit the ground. On instinct, the quartz’s hand shot up to her gem, causing it to glow. In an instant, her forearm was encased in what could only be called a jumbled mess. Not only was it a mix of golden orange and purple, it seemed to be a combination of several weapons that was as unwieldy as it looked. She held it awkwardly, tilting it at a stiff, strange angle as she brought it down to defend herself.

Chevron wasn’t far behind when it came to arming himself. He snapped his sword and parrying dagger out of his own gems in a sharp movement. The fusion’s body tensed, gripping his hilts tight as he prepared to step forward and defend his squadmate, only for this odd creature to talk.

Was she trying to trick them into looking upwards? His heavy brow dropped as a scowl crossed his face. This must have been some sort of forward guard for the humans- why else would she have approached them? “You can help by getting out of our way.” He snapped aggressively, baring his teeth at this stranger. “We don’t need your help.”

“Yeah. we..” Ametrine’s cheeks puffed in annoyance when she couldn’t come up with anything that sounded cool or threatening to say herself. She could practically feel Chevron’s eyes on her back as he waited for her to say something, which only made things worse. She tensed up pursing her lips into a thin line as she thought long and hard what to say. “... We don’t- we can help-... what Chev said.”

blackstardiopside:

Black Star tilted her head to the side as the Pearl stepped away from her. She didn’t think much of it since the gem is new to her. But the Diopside couldn’t contain a giggle when Pearl hid behind the Quartz.

“Hey,” Black Star said with a frown. “I don’t want to be squished, plus, it’s not nice to call your friend a useless lump.”

“Hah, I wi-”

“F-friend? You think she’s my friend?!” His eyes went wide, and he let out a series of strange, strangled noises, as if the words were stuck in his throat. His face fell into a frown, and he pinched at the bridge of his nose with his long, spindly fingers. “Why are we even having this discussion? Just squish it, Ametrine! It’s a rebel!”

A rebel? The Quartz squinted down at Black Star with a look of surprise. She’d never even seen a rebel before now. She didn’t even know what to think about them. She knew they rejected Homeworld, and that they were dangerous, but that was really it. “We’ll hurt the humans if we fight here.” She huffed in clear disinterest. As the Pearl kept blustering behind her, she stuck out a leg and drew a line in the sand with the toes of her boot. “Listen, you stay on that side of the border, and we’ll stay on our side. If you cross it, I’ll do what he says.”

Looking at her eye, the Sapphire clearly wanted to be somewhere else ; and Nuumite could understand: she would not be proud if her gemstone also had a star, no matter how many arms it had. However, she did not appreciate her apathy. Just because she had a bad day didn’t mean she didn’t have to address high ranking Gems with the respect and attention they deserved.

“You could indeed explain to me how you can still show yourself publicly in this time of war.” Nuumite was not accusing the Sapphire of supporting the Crystal Gems, but rather wondering how she could find the strength to show up and endure the stares of an entire court - unless she was aware only now of the current unpopularity of stars.

“I was summoned.” She answered simply enough, wringing her small hands together, until she caught herself and smothered the motion. It simply wouldn’t do for a Sapphire to fidget, even one of lower quality such as herself. “After carefully weighing out the pros and cons of presenting myself, I decided not to let the rebels win by denying my Diamond the protection we provide. I can’t warn anyone if I cloister myself away, and I simply am not clear enough to make my predictions from afar. I have to be here.”

The Sapphire dipped her head in deference to the taller gem. If she could have just left, she would have been long gone by now, but that would have been rude. She didn’t need to rely on her premonitions to know acting out like that could have turned deadly, but the thought made her spine tingle anyways. Her heavy eyelid drooped low, half-covering her eye as demurely as could be. “Will that be all? I fear I may have taken up too much of your time as it is.”

He had almost forgotten about the communication’s channel he had opened, instead busying himself with updating a paper-based map on the ground. But upon seeing the monitor light up once more, the gemstone quickly looked over the new message. A Sapphire, who wishes to know just who he is. Now that could pose some difficulties. For all he knew, this could be the leader of a Homeworld Armada.

[Wulfenite]: Simply put, all you really have to go on is my word, unfortunately. [Wulfenite]: Which, in these trying times, really is rich, huh? Homeworld’s doing its Homeworld thing, Hunting down those who think of themselves as a one, and not the many. Earth’s riddled with Corrupted gemstones, again, a lot from my ancient creed. For the sake of animosity, I shan’t name ‘em. [Wulfenite]: Things really have gone tits-up nowadays.

Tits? The Sapphire squinted at the foreign word, wondering quietly if it was some sort of secret code or rebel password. A quick database search told her that a ‘tit’ was some sort of small earth animal capable of flight, but try as she might, she had no idea what sort of significance they may have carried. Stars, she didn’t even know if it was considered a good or bad thing that they were ‘up’. All she could do was try to respond and hope she was wrong about it being some sort of code.

[Sapphire]: It could always be worse. The tits could have gone down instead of up. [Sapphire]: I didn’t know Homeworld was still skulking around earth, though. How frightening! You don’t think they’d come after us, would they? There aren’t many of us left anymore. I understand your caution, but I hope you at least have friends watching your back. I’d hate to be alone if they decide to invade the planet again.

blackstardiopside:

Black Star was making her way through town. As she walked, the greyscale colored gem lapped at a mint chocolate ice cream cone she had acquired minutes ago. While moving down the boardwalk, she had overheard some commotion. It wasn’t uncommon for her to hear squabbles, but the words she heard didn’t sound like anything a human would say, but what a gem might say.

Curious at who it was, Black Star stopped in her tracks. The runt spotted two gems, a dark colored Pearl and a Quartz of some kind. Black Star approached from the two and piped up with a friendly “hello!”

The Pearl continued to huff under his breath, muttering things about how rude Quartzes could be under his breath until someone quite peculiar approached them. At first, he mistook the small stranger for a human of some kind and scooted away from her, biting back a comment about ‘human germs’ as he drew his lanky legs up onto the bench he was parked on.

The more he looked down at the person, the more he came to realize that she just couldn’t be a human. Black Star’s gray pallor was unheard of for humans, so she couldn’t be- the Pearl’s eyes went wide when he put two and two together, glancing from the star on her shirt to her face and back again. With an audible, awkward noise, he scrambled over the back of his seat and ducked behind his Quartz guard. “Don’t come any closer!” He hissed, peeking out at Diopside from behind Ametrine’s arm. “Squish her, squish her now, you big, useless lump!”

The quartz grunted in confusion over this whole mess. She blinked down at the strange... gray child and cocked her head to one side. “Why? She doesn’t look dangerous.” She pouted as she stared down at the human from over her mountain of bags.

The one good thing about this whole earth mission had to be the off-color quartz. The fusion was a stick in the mud, the Ruby was even worse, but Ametrine- Tahitian Pearl quickly learned that he could get away with just about anything when he was left alone with her. And galaxies, was it nice to have that sort of freedom every once in a while, knowing she’d never turn around and tattle on him for bossing her around.

The only problem was that he just didn’t know where to stop. What had started as him enjoying a day on the beach, basking in the sun while she stood guard quickly devolved into him dragging her about the little town. Thinks got even worse for the poor quartz when, after figuring out how humans acquired things, the Pearl set about to stealing paper-holding devices for their human currency. It was a simple enough task, and before long, he’d dragged her off on what the humans called a ‘shopping spree’- for research, of course. Pearl had no need for pants and shoes and sunglasses, and the fact that they were pretty and caught his eye had everything nothing to do with why he bartered for the things he wanted.

“Mmm... I can see why the humans enjoy this... ‘food’ substance.” Tahitian Pearl hummed in enjoyment as a shiver ran down his spine. He dipped his spoon back into his cup of ice cream to help himself to more as the quartz stood at his side, trying her best not to stare or drop the bags and boxes piled in her arms. “It’s a shame your hands are full, else I’d share.”

“I could put them down, or you could put them i-”

“Put them in my gem?” He huffed, laying a hand on his chest as he turned his head. The Pearl’s eyes went wide, and he stared up at Ametrine with a look of absolute disbelief. “And draw attention to us? Please. And don’t even think of putting anything on the ground. That’s valuable research material, you’ll contaminate everything if you do something that careless!”

The quartz grunted tiredly, plopping her face in a bag out of pure exasperation. Guarding doors back home wasn’t nearly this frustrating.

I’ll write up something for anyone who likes this post when I get back later on tonight.))

wxlfenite:

[Wulfenite] : Hello! This is a Wulfenite gemstone. I managed to get this hunk of junk working. Able to access comm channels and the like. Right now, I am just going through various channels, seeing what pops up, maybe share a conversation or two. If anyone is on this frequency, do let me know. Wouldn’t mind passing an hour or two with some friendly conversation.

[Wulfenite] : It is, at time of writing, nearing mid day. Spring is turning to summer on this planet, corrupted gemstones of my creed have been thinned out a lot over the past few years. Nearing the end of the line, as it were. Tell me, how are things where you are, stranger?

After a good half hour of quiet deliberation, Star Sapphire finally decided to answer the posts she found just sitting there, waiting on an open channel. She had no way of knowing whether the person was still there or not, but decided to chance it. They could have invaluable information- and all she had to do was not give away who and what they were.

[Sapphire]: Hello, it’s wonderful to hear from another gem! My friends and I thought we were the only ones left out here. Things are mostly quiet out here, unless you count the humans, of course. They’re always noisy, but you get used to it. How do I know you are who you say you are? Forgive me for being cautious, but it’s been so long since we heard from another gem, you could be anyone. I’ll try to stay on this frequency for as long as I can, but please, don’t take too long. Who knows who else could tune in?
