(ultimxte-mercenxry,Black Pearl)"W-wait!Why do you want to study me?"
Prehnite chuckled softly, gently tracing the Pearl’s face. “Why my sweet little geode…” Prehnite cooed softly, a smile on her face. “That’s what I do. I study gems that are out of the ordinary and you fit that bracket quite well.
Green pearl peaked out shyly from behind her Prehnite to observe the other pearl. She was both happy and distraught that another pearl would be studied. On one hand, she’d have another friend, and on the other…..
“I…I am not some psychopath’s lab rat!So what if i came out wrong?Don’t i deserve to live my own life?”
Then she looked at the Green Pearl behind the strange Gem.
“Are you,a fellow Pearl,going to allow this madness to continue?Or were you brainwashed or somethin’?”
Prehnite giggled. “Oh, it’s quite silly of you to try to find an ally in my pearl. Why do you show her why pearlie~?” Prehnite cooed maliciously as the pearl squeaked and stepped out.
The most noticeable and horrific thing about this pearl was her arms and legs. Instead of limbs, she had limb enhancers, her gem was too small and looked rough like someone sanded it down. Te pearl wore a visor and a sweet yet terrified expression while looking at the other pearl and then back at Prehnite.
“M-My prehnite is trying to help-” the pearl was quickly cut off by a hard smack which sent the pearl to the ground. Prehnite laughed and before Green pearl could get up, she placed the heel on her foot in the middle of the poor pearl’s back, making her whimper.
Black Pearl remained speechless when she saw how the Gem treated her assistant.
“Why are you doing this to her?It is i who misbehaved,not her!She is innocent!Why don’t you test your strength on me?!”
Prehnite laughed once again, digging her foot into Green Pearl’s back more. “Darling, no need to be upset. It’s very unbecoming of a pearl.” she said sweetly, finally letting the pearl up to breath. “Come now Pearlie-pie, tell your little friend she has nothing to be upset about.” Prehnite ordered. Green pearl cough and took in air before standing up fully and looking at the black pearl. “I am quite alright fellow pearl! I was speaking out of turn so I must be punished. It’s the only way a stupid gem like me can learn.” Green repeated in a matter-of-fact voice. Prehnite patted her head and Green smiled brightly at her owner.
“Good pearlie~. Who’s a good pearlie~? Who is? Who is~?” Prehnite gushed before grabbing Pearl’s hair and dragging her toward a door. “Definitely not you that’s for sure. You ugly waste of space, make yourself useful darling and get Velvet dream pearl.” Prehnite scolded and threw her pearl to the ground. Green scurried up and ran off quickly. Prehnite glanced at Black pearl and giggled. “Well, I think I’ll be taking a break. Feel free to look around, make yourself at home.” Prehnite smiled.
“Make myself at home eh?What a freak.“Pearl muttered.
Then she looked around and took a seat on what looked like a surgery bed used by humans,but she didn’t care.
She immediately saw strange jars with all kinds of stuff in there.Some of them contained Gem shards.
“Why do i have the feeling that i am going to become part of the exhibition?”
She shouted through the locked door:
“Umm hey Ms.Psycho-Gem where did you go?Have i bored you already?”
“The Glorius Doctor Prehnite is a saint, fellow Pearl~.” a voice said from the darkness before slowly walking towards her. The steps were slow, labored and stiff. The gem revealed themselves to be a red pearl. Her hair was spiky and short, her outfit was an unnatural green color but, what was most disturbing was her face. Her eyes were wide and fixed, a bright unsettling green with small pupils, her smile was wide and forced. The pearl’ s neck cracked loudly as she slowly turned to Black Pearl.
The rapid metallic tapping of Green Pearl was heard behind her. Green forced a smile and patted the red pearl’s shoulder. “Ah! I see you’ve met, Red-I-I mean Velvet Dream.” Green corrected herself, glancing at the door Prehnite left in nervously.
The defective Pearl looked at the new Pearl visibly disturbed.
“Wha-what’s wrong with her?Why does she look like one of those haunted dolls i heard they have on Earth?“she asked Green Pearl.
Then,to the other Pearl,in a cold tone:
"Are you here to execute me or somethimg?Cuz i won’t give up without a fight,just so you know.”
Green pearl laughed “Me? No way! I’m way too weak and stupid for something like that! Th-The only thing I’m good at is being a good servant for-“
“PEARL SHUT UP!” A voice yelled and Green pearl jumped fearfully and looked down, immediately becoming silent.
When she heard the voice,she jumped.
"Wh-who said that?Hello?I-if you are not some sort of coward,i suggest you to c-come and f-face me!I h-have a weapon and i am not afraid to use it!”
Then,she tries to summon her scythe,but,surprisingly,she doesn’t have it anymore.
“Oh no!My scythe!Where’s my scythe?”
“Gosh,i think i am in real trouble now…"she whispered.
Green pearl looked at the other pearl with sympathy but, tried to cheer her up. “H-Hey it’s gonna be alright! I-I mean, you’ll have lots of friends and if she just wants to study you, you shouldn’t be here for longer than a few cycles.” she said, trying to reassure the other pearl before sighing. “Besides, there’s no way of getting out of here so, might as well make the most of it...I-I can give you a tour if you like, it’s the one thing I don’t fail at miserably.” Green offered.
