Surely it had only been a day, right? Phosphophyllite thought as they got up that day and wandered around the city. Although they had just started to get used to seeing the tall buildings as their everyday scenery, subtle changes could be spotted here and there... Perhaps more than a day had passed? Not that it mattered! For, they were an undying existence! Who cared if they missed a few weeks or so due to sleeping in! It’s winter! They can’t be blamed for the faults of their species...!

Well, enough of that train of thought. In a short distance, they spot a familiar small figure and call out, “Maria~!”

✒ “Your body… Just how much of it is pure phosphophyllite?” Da Vinci was a genius in all fields, it was only natural she’d recognize such a rare mineral. She’d looked over all sorts of materials in her pursuit of knowledge and minerals had been one of the many things she’d studied. She leaned down before the gem, looking at their arms and legs without permission.

“Gold… and agate? Curious, curious~! If you don’t mind me asking what manner of being or you? Your beauty is certainly something unique!”

Surprise took them at first-- after all, the only people that had recognized Phosphophyllite for being, well, Phosphophyllite were Sensei and the other gems. Sure, there were a few that had understood that Phosphophyllite wasn’t human, but there had yet to be any that were able to figure out exactly what they were, minerals and all! Perhaps they were an existence similar to Sensei? It couldn’t be out of the realm of possibility, right? 

“Oh, well, that’s--” They blushed slightly at the compliment before getting to answering the other’s questions, “Only my arms and legs are the parts that weren’t originally part of me.” Phosphophyllite tilted their head slightly, they had hardly really put thought into what sort of being they were-- only they were a,  “Gem? I’m a... gem.”

Whoa, sorry for the amazing disappearing act inactivity, I will tend to replies within the next few days! In the meantime, like for a starter! Cap at 3 Cast mates, previous interactions exempt!

Haaah, no one could deny how good it felt to be out in the cold like this. It made everything quiet for sure,  but it also brought about a sense of dread to those not used to being out for so log by themselves.  To be honest,  Jounoichi wondered himself why he would be out like this if the last time he got attacked. Maybe because its happened so much that passively walking outside is much better than hiding inside scared of leaving. 

Besides, he was a lot stronger and had his throwing knifes! Even if something attacked,  he wasn’t unarmed! 

“That being said,  I probably shouldn’t jinx myself.  Just because I can fight doesn’t mean I can purify. I didn’t pass the Exam after all.” He sighed at that. It didn’t bother Joey as much as it did the first time,  though looking at the scars didn’t help much either.

Winter wasn’t always the best time for Phosphophyllite to be going around with the sunlight being scarce and their movements being sleepy and sluggish, but it couldn’t be helped! They were absolutely bored! And they seriously didn’t want to spend the entirety of the winter season hibernating. 

However, the young gem that  couldn’t catch a whiff of their siblings’ presence no matter how they looked could only have to settle for whatever else they could do... which really wasn’t much, unfortunately. But luck for them! In the midst of their wandering they caught the mumbling of some random passerby!

“Whoa, sounds like you have your fair share of problems!” The gem approached the other with a friendly tone. 

Since they had nothing better to do they could at least bother listen to this human’s problems. Yup. Sorry, Joey. This gem is going to stick around and bother you for the rest of the day. Rejoice, Joey! This Phosphophyllite will stick around and listen to your problems!

Phosphophyllite is 50% adorable. Very good at snugging, and very cute.

geniusinventor:

          “I’ll… manage…” he won’t, but that doesn’t stop Kusuke from pushing against the snow to at least sit himself up as he tries to calm down from the sudden adrenaline from his fall.

It took him a few seconds of staring down at the snow to compose himself before looking up to the concerned stranger and… they looked out of this world. They completely emit a foreign impression, then again, it’s not everyday you’d see someone’s hair impressively glimmer under the remaining sunlight.

 “… Did… you made all of these?” Kusuke questioned instead, evidently more bewildered by the snowma– er, snow creatures than the other’s image.

“Yea!” They nodded, proud of their own work and prowess at the army of snow dogs surrounding them. The gem hadn't stopped their fashioning of the snow creatures as they talked, and slowly the other would find that the dogs would start to crowd around them as well. “They’re pretty cute, right? I couldn't cut them down myself when I met the real thing back home," the gem mused, recalling the events that happened when they ran into them. 

The gem looked up at them, finally pausing. They had known the voice to not be a familiar one, nor had they looked familiar either when they had fallen right in front of them. Humans were-- the gem assumed they were one simply by appearances-- fragile as they were animals, and so paused their rambling before it got out of hand and asked, “You sure you’re okay? Humans are pretty fragile animals, right?”

akagiyo:

“Oh how adorable!”

She relished in their fear. 

“Of course it is just paper. Are you willing to test out your strength, little child? Oh, you glimmer. Breaking you into little pieces would be a gorgeous sight! But no more than I, naturally.”

Their smile and overall demeanor showed the other was having fun-- but they couldn’t figure out why... They mean, it really was just paper right! Their attitude was a little scary but if it’s paper they could take it right on!! Yea! “Th-there’s no way I’d break from just some paper!”

conceivesfrenzy:

Ah, good, they weren’t immediately put off by her advances. A good start (?).

“Were you sleeping during the initial message, silly? This is Hive City, where all your dreams come true~! Oooor something like that.” She shrugged, scratching her cheek. “You’re definitely not home, wherever that is for you. That much is for certain.”

The gem did indeed recall hearing the place called Hive City-- only they hardly recalled the other monikers the person tacked onto them. Where all your dreams come true? Could they find a job for Cinnabar here? Could they learn more about the Lunarians here? 

Well, looking around they understood it enough. “This place... looks nothing like my home, that’s for sure. But... is it true? My dreams can come true here?”

 “Its a system that notifies you in advance on what the weather will be for the day and the day after, and possibly the week. Its really useful so you can plan ahead of time what you want to do.” 

Of course someone knowing what that is, the chances are becoming slimmer each day. It really seems like everyone is from a different world entirely. 

 How to be best describe it… 

 “Its a place where organic people refuel their energy.” Simplified and easy to understand! 

Oh, so that’s what it was. It predicted the weather. Simple enough. There were some gems that were tasked with that duty, if Phosphophyllite recalled correctly, but here it seemed it was a little different. 

Phosphophyllite blinked, though understanding the words said, they were a bit at a loss. “Is that so...” They answered, looking around the place once more. They felt slightly out of place here, being someone that refueled their energy in a different means than the inhabitants that frequented this place. But well, that was fine, they could just talk about something else. “How do I go about checking the weather?”

emblazones:

“All of you have glimmering hair? That is…”

It wasn’t odd, per se. Far from alien to her, she glimmered when she assumed her esper form, but that wasn’t… Like this. Her hair wasn’t in a constant state of … gem-like. 

“… New, then.”

Far from estranged, she felt a little more at home talking to this being. A little confused, she appeared, but that did not mean she was going to make them feel at odds for their existence. 

“Which land do you hail from?”

The gem nodded, agreeing with the other’s sentiment. Having just got here, there were a lot of things they simply weren’t used to. The loud noise of the bustling crowd, for example. Or the lack of shining hair in many of the people’s cases. “Yea... this whole place is very new for me too.” 

The gem paused at the other’s inquiry, trying to find an answer that best suited it. The land the gems resided in-- they had only ever called it the island, with specific names for specific places. The school was well, where the gems lived... The entire planet itself, they mused, “Earth?”

formidablemudball:

“That does sound reasonable,” Enkidu acquiesced, “But it sounds like it didn’t work with your friend…?” They were rather invested in this working. 

“The begging itself probably didn’t move them, no” The gem laughs, “But the melting I think softened them to the idea--!!” They nodded-- memory resurfacing slightly. Their disgruntled face as they had said ‘fine’ was a good one.

Guess who started watching HnK and binge read the manga yesterday. I tried to imitate the style of the manga a little…i hope it worked

toxinnabar:

Phos, excitable as ever… in a way, it was refreshing, even if Cinnabar’s expression never reflected as much. Instead, a hand absently brushed some hair from his eyes.

“What for? I can’t really help you here…”

“... W-Well you know! I’m sure I can find something for you if it’s here--“ No, that’s really not right. Super, really off the mark there. “Ugh, no, I mean-- I can... try that too, but you see-- today’s Christmas.” They shuffled a wrapped present in front of them. 

[phosphorescences-blog]

toxinnabar:

Now that was more like it. Phosphophyllite’s quickly moving mouth was something of a double-edged sword, though. While it confirmed that this Phos was from a simpler time, that same reminder brought Cinnabar back to conversations the gem had long wished to be able to forget. Sadly, Cinnabar never had such luck.

Meeting with the others, though… it was a smart suggestion, but Cinnabar had spent far too long avoiding just that to simply agree. Even with the poison rendered harmless, some habits were difficult to break.

“I’m not interested in–”

Cinnabar had no more than started to decline the invitation, when his hand was taken, leaving little room for argument. For now, it was more prudent to simply go with them.

Besides, maybe… this would be fun. Maybe.

“Fine.”

Hopefully the walk wasn’t a long one. Without knowing how long Phos had been here, there was no reason to believe they wouldn’t get the both of them lost on a longer trek.

Sighing quietly, Cinnbar’s eyes turned briefly to the hand tugging him along. It was hard to shake the feeling that Phos, being Phos, would instead pull them into trouble…

“Just don’t get any weird ideas on the way.”

“I knew you would say that~” Okay. To be honest the gem was sure that the other would find some sort of reason to worm their way out of Phosphophyllite dragging them around the city. Well! Unfortunately for their sibling who’s hand they now had in their grasp, they firstly had no intention of letting go, and secondly Phosphophyllite hardly knew heads or tails around the city. Not that they were going to tell Cinnabar that, or anything. 

But well, you know, it’s that? They couldn’t help but be happy that the other didn’t refuse. Something inside them was telling them that it should have been like this a long time ago, but really they had no idea. A lot of things had happened, after all. 

“Well, that’s not going to happen! We’ll find our siblings super quick for sure!” They were just making a guess there. Only, of course, lo and behold it wasn’t even 5 minutes before the younger gem would take them straight into a dead end.

“H-huh?”

cloudedblades:

Cloud glanced up at the stranger who had addressed him. There was something off about the young lady, he was pretty sure of that right away. She seemed harmless enough, though, and he had bigger problems at this exact moment. Primarily the whole bleeding issue.

Normally, he’d have found one of his few friends who was skilled in healing - preferably Litchi - but none of them were around anymore. Except Aeris, he supposed, but, well. Now wasn’t the time to try to find her, even if he could. Besides, he’d live. It’d just be rather… unpleasant, for a while. Possibly a nice, long while. 

“No, it isn’t good,” he agreed shortly. At least it was his left arm, though that compounded rather painfully with the wounds he’d acquired, that night with Corvus. Oh, well. He’d survived that, too. He tore off the sleeve he’d kept along that arm, revealing the pink ribbon tied around it. Or at least, it had been pink; now is was mostly soaked in his blood. He’d have to get a new one.

He paused for a moment, and threw another glance at the stranger. Definitely something off, but now wasn’t really the time. He needed to get the bleeding stopped, but first, she just might be able to help a bit. “Got a lighter? Fire? Something hot?”

Phosphophyllite inched a bit closer, looking the other over-- the red liquid clearly coming from within them. Was it a vital point of them like pieces of them self were important to the gems? They had this sort of inkling that it could get worse, yet they weren’t sure. 

It seemed so, as the human affirmed the question that they had posed to them earlier. Their eyes swam lightly, unsure of what to do. They had no expertise in the organic, and they weren’t quite sure if their sibling, Rutile did either, despite calling themselves a doctor. They were a doctor for the gems after all, and not for humans like this one. 

They raised their eyes to meet with the human after being called to again, as they requested for the gem’s aid. Their head tilted in  the unfortunate circumstance of having no idea what a lighter was. But from the other words they could take a guess that it had something to do with fire... Well just standing around would do both of them no good, for the gem definitely didn’t have one but they could at least provide some assistance?

“I don’t have one, but if it’s nearby I can probably carry you to a place that has one? Or a place that would offer better treatment than some fire will...?”

formidablemudball:

“A friend of yours is being stubborn too?” They were lucky they’d found someone with personal expertise… With the situation at least. Not with Gil.

“I told him before that he shouldn’t listen when people beg, so I probably shouldn’t try that. But maybe threatening to melt on him would work…? He wouldn’t want to get his clothes dirty.” 

“Well, they’re the type that don’t say what they mean, you know? One of those types?” There was a term for this right? “But I guess there are times they’re like that too. Stubborn? Or won’t go with what I say!” Though usually that’s because what they were saying was ridiculous and should not be listened to. 

“Then melting it is, right? I’m sure it’ll work out somehow!”
