Sunlight Shines Through

Sunstone's Back and Ready to Meet New Gems! Follows back from Datarsiah-Noodles

[surplus-pink]

“Was that when we were in Rome? The architecture there was rather nice…and in India! SO many buildings there were absolutely lovely!”

*Pink couldn’t help gushing a little, of course having liked aesthetically pleasing designs. They’d seen many in their trips around the world.*

[sunstonerp]

It took the healer a moment before she was back on her feet. Shaking her head and scrambling to her feet, she looked for Pink. The crowd was pushing and yelling and fighting, Sunstone got shoved roughly again as a fighting human and gem clashed into her.

Panic started to seem into her mind as she desperately scanned the crowd looking for her pearl. “Pink!” She cried out, in a useless attempt to get her voice heard. She started pushing back against the crowd as she tried to make her way towards the direction she thought Pink my be.

[surplus-pink]

*Pearl looked around frantically, all trying to avoid errant hits and punches. She was basically dancing through the conflict; bending, twirling, jumping out of the way. She turned when she heard a voice, spotting the orange gem thankfully not too far from her.*

“SUNNY!”

*She called, just as someone swung an actual bowie knife at her. A human, who was ranting and raving about “aliens” and “abductions”. As a pure defensive move the Pearl pulled a stiff fan out of her storage and used it as a very impromptu shield against the human.*

“L-leave me alone!”

[sunstonerp]

Any elbow to the midsection caused her to double over in pain and suprise. She was thankful that she didn't have lungs or it would have taken her breath away. Struggling to right herself, Sunstone sword she's could hear Pink calling out for her.

Her head snapped in the direction of the voice Pink. Seeing her love being attacked by a human filled the normally gentle healer with rage. Her shield snapped into place and she shoved way towards Pink.

"Get away from her!" Sunstone snarled, shoving Pink's attacker away and placing herself between the human and Pink.

[surplus-pink]

“Was that when we were in Rome? The architecture there was rather nice…and in India! SO many buildings there were absolutely lovely!”

*Pink couldn’t help gushing a little, of course having liked aesthetically pleasing designs. They’d seen many in their trips around the world.*

[sunstonerp]

[honorable-blacksmith] "Hey there! Welcome to Little Homeworld!"

@honorable-blacksmith

The yellow gem jumped slightly, she’d been lost in just admiring the place she hadn’t noticed the others approach.

“Oh! Thank you!” She said with a warm smile “it’s very lovely”

[sunstonerp]

Sunny smiled up at the beefy blacksmith, it was nice to be welcomed. “Thank you. Um.. how do I go about getting a room?” She asked a little timidly “what do I need to do?”

[honorable-blacksmith]

“Heh, you just gotta talk to Peridot. She’s handling all of the registration and placement , keeping things organized. I’ll introduce you to her.”

*Bismuth says brightly.*

[sunstonerp]

The sun gem brightened and nodded in agreement. “That would be fantastic.” She said enthusiastically “though.. I’ve never actually met a Peridot.. most of the tecs on my colony were Turquoise.”

[honorable-blacksmith]

“Heh, this’ll be fun then. Peridots are a bit more no nonsense than Turquoise, but also have a lot of personality. Especially our Peri. You’ll like her.”

*Bismuth chuckles, leading the way to the building that the little technician had claimed as her - and Lapis’- new home within Little Homeworld.*

[sunstonerp]

The yellow gem followed diligently behind the blacksmith, as she continued to look on in awe at the community around her.

"I've only ever seen one Turquoise since I've been here on earth.. but she was a dancer not a tec.." Sunstone though of the gem she'd met in her travels and smiled on the pleasant memories. "I hope she's doing well".

[surplus-pink]

“Was that when we were in Rome? The architecture there was rather nice…and in India! SO many buildings there were absolutely lovely!”

*Pink couldn’t help gushing a little, of course having liked aesthetically pleasing designs. They’d seen many in their trips around the world.*

[sunstonerp]

Sunstone had forgotten that they’d had accumulated that much currency. She found the coins to be particularly interesting, they came in such a variety!

Moldavite nodded thoughtfully “the green paper ones” she clarified “they are useful for buying supplies”

[surplus-pink]

“Okay!~”

*Pearl used the numbers on the green papers to count out 200 in earth currency. It amused her that some meant more than others, despite being basically the same otherwise. At least the coins were different in size and metal composition depending upon value.*

[sunstonerp]

Moldavite graciously accepted the bills from Pink, thanking her as she stashed the money in her gem. She slipped the tapestry off the table and folded it carefully before slipping it into a bag and handing it to Sunstone.

“Thank you!” Sunny chirped brightly “it will hang in our living room.”

[surplus-pink]

“Our new living room, just for us!~”

*Pearl couldn’t help adding in, gripping onto her partner excitedly. Now they had something pretty just for them to enjoy! To celebrate their union in a new space!~*

[sunstonerp]

A slight blush crept across the healers face, but she held tight to the slender gem. “We just moved in!” Sunstone added.

The Moldavite smiled warmly at the couple. “Congratulations” she said genuinely happy for them. “I hope it brings you happiness”

[surplus-pink]

“Thank you!~”

*Pink smiles brightly and gives Sunny another squeeze before making their exit.*

[sunstonerp]

As the pair began their walk back to their home, Sunstone was overcome with the need to embrace Pink. She wasn’t sure why, maybe it was the way the sunlight caught her gem or maybe it was the feeling of joy bubbling up inside of her, but she threw her arms around her love and embraced her tightly.

“Pink” she said gently, arms still wrapped around the slender gem “I love you.”

[surplus-pink]

“Sunny!~”

*She lets out a light giggle, cheeks coloring brightly as she was held.*

“I love you too. So much.~”

*She cooed gently.*

[sunstonerp]

She nuzzled Pink gently for a moment more before composing herself. Sunstone still had a radiant smile spread across her face. “I’m so glad”.

Having a partner, someone to love and hold, was the best feeling in the universe. Well, the best feeling she’d experienced.

However, as nice that feeling was, the sounds they heard just a little ways off wasn’t so nice. There was a group of humans protesting against the gem village.

[surplus-pink]

“Mmmmm.~”

*Pearl sighed, cuddling up against her partner. Of course, the sugary moment ended when the noise of discourse in the distance became audible. She turned around to look, concerned and curious. And frowned when she realized what was going on….*

“…what’s their problem…?”

[sunstonerp]

Sunstone frowned hard and pulled Pink in closer to her, adjusting her stance into more a a protective one.

The humans where loud, carrying signs and shouting things like “aliens go home!” Or “this is our planet”. Some of the gems were trying to placate the humans, telling them they just wanted to live in peace.

“They don’t seem to like us..”

[surplus-pink]

“…..Can’t exactly blame them…..we did try and conquer once….”

*Pearl mutters, watching the scene in dismay. Clinging to Sunny as the humans rioted on. Ignoring or outright arguing with the gems who were trying to speak with them.*

[sunstonerp]

“That was thousands of years ago…” Sunstone said, a little defeatedly “I just think some humans don’t like those who are… Different. She kept a close eye on the mob as she tried to maneuver herself and Pink around them.

The crowd was getting larger and angrier by the moment. The gems, for the most part, where just trying to keep the peace and took a very non violent stance. But the one of the humans threw a punch and hit a Ruby. This started the melee.

[surplus-pink]

“…Seems to be a trend across species….”

*The Pearl muttered softly, keeping close to her partner as they tried to make their way around the commotion. The mob had to be made of out of own residents, because most who lived within the little beach town were rather nice with the gems. Many visiting and hanging around often.

Which just made the size of the group even more worrisome…..*

“We need to get out of here!”

*Pnk said urgently when the fighting began, of course Gems moving into action when one of their number was hit. Of course, a human was not much of a match against most gems, even a ruby, but at the same time…..*

[sunstonerp]

Sunstone picked Pink up with one arm and held her close as she began to move away from the crowd. It would be easier to protect Pink if she needed to. Her gem glowed in anticipation of needing her shield.

There was utter chaos around them. Gems fusioning and others fleeing, humans and gems fighting, it was nothing short of a riot.

Sunny and Pink got pushed and shoved and one particularly hard push knocked Sunstone to the ground and Pink flew out of her hands.

[surplus-pink]

“Was that when we were in Rome? The architecture there was rather nice…and in India! SO many buildings there were absolutely lovely!”

*Pink couldn’t help gushing a little, of course having liked aesthetically pleasing designs. They’d seen many in their trips around the world.*

[sunstonerp]

Sunny beamed “They are supposed to be very lovely. But I’ve heard that there are some very unique animals and plants that live there” she explained excitedly “they are made just for living there!”

The thought made her very excited, but she was still excited to browse the gem made items. The little market had been set up shortly after they moved to Little Homeworld. It was a place where gems could flex their creative muscles.

[surplus-pink]

“Oh! Like the ones that can only live in the oceans!”

*Pearl said with a nod, while she wondered why anything would want to adapt to living in a desert she had to agree it would be interesting to see. And the idea made her beloved so happy, so it would be a nice time regardless….

The little “Art Bazaar” that the gems had going was still in it’s infancy but the event was already gaining a lot of traction. And would obviously become a big stable in their little community in the coming years. Everything from sculpture to wood working to metal art was available to see and from all sorts of gems. Topazes, Quartz, Tourmaline, Rubies….all classes were there. Browsing, displaying, and the mood was so casual and supportive…..

A Sapphire and Pearl duo were even off to the side, providing music for the atmosphere. The pair smiling and holding hands as they did so.*

[sunstonerp]

She gave a warm smile to the signing duo, nothing like that would have happened before the liberation. It filled her heart with joy to see all these different types of gems mingling so freely with eachother. Even her relationship with Pink would have been forbidden. They where of two very different classes and while a gem like her could of had her own Pearl, it wasn’t allowed to have a relationship.

The market was wonderful and full of beautiful hand crafted items. Sunstone had entertained the idea of crafting herself, but with so many different kinds she wasn’t sure where to start. She slipped her arm around Pink’s waist as the browsed the wares.

[surplus-pink]

*In the confines of Little Homeworld, the Sunstone and Pearl pair didn’t stick out as they would have once upon time. Pink loved being able to walk around and act like they were the couple they were, equals. She leaned against Sunny happily and, being a touchy feely gem in general due to her class and nature, was not shy about little affections as they enjoyed their day.

Pink liked to express her creativity via music but had contemplating getting into painting, namely painting flowers. She was always quick to encourage Sunny to try something, anything was a good starting point since it was all a trial and error thing anyway…*

“So many wonderful things to choose from…~”

[sunstonerp]

The yellow gem nodded in agreement as a particularly intricate tapestry caught her eye. It was a beautifully done sunset, filled with rich pinks and yellow-oranges. Her feet lead her towards the table and the Moldavite sitting there, busy in her work.

Sunstone just gaped at the beauty of the work, words failing her. She hope Pink would be able to put a few words together.

[surplus-pink]

*It was beautiful, a wonderful painting but…not a painting. Instead of being composed of pastes or liquids smeared together ingeniously on a canvas or piece of paper. This was thousands upon thousands of tiny threads, purposefully woven together to create the illusion of a gradient, of depth.*

“Oooooh, that’s exquisite.~”

*Pearl nearly cooed, eyes eagerly looking upon the colors.*

[sunstonerp]

"How much?" She asked the green gem "This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen"

The Moldavite blushed at the compliment and she down her current project. "Thank you, that's very kind" she replied, her voice soft "it's 200 human money."

[sunstonerp]

[honorable-blacksmith] "Hey there! Welcome to Little Homeworld!"

@honorable-blacksmith

The yellow gem jumped slightly, she’d been lost in just admiring the place she hadn’t noticed the others approach.

“Oh! Thank you!” She said with a warm smile “it’s very lovely”

[honorable-blacksmith]

*Bismuth gave a soft laugh at this, flattered by the enthusiasm.*

“I think so too.~”

*With a grin she continued their little tour, the blacksmith pointing out the buildings and even different gems- who waved or gave greetings cheerily- as they became important to discuss. The settlement was a nice and fast growing community.*

[sunstonerp]

Sunstone was very much enjoying the tour. So much so that she’d began to wonder if maybe she should settle here. Since her … freedom, she’d been a wanderer. Exploring the planet she’s been stuck on, seeing its sights and wonders, and meeting it’s people.

Was it time to settle down? There was a lot of gems here.. maybe she could meet a nice one and make a life for herself here.

Sunstone was quiet as she mulled these thoughts over.

[honorable-blacksmith]

“And this is…..everything okay?”

*Bismuth asked, tone going soft and concerned when she turned and noted her companion’s expression. The healer had been quiet for a bit of time as well.*

[sunstonerp]

She jumped slightly, her face darkening in embarrassment. “Ah, sorry.” Sunstone said “I was just wondering if it was time for me to settle down.. ” she started to explain. “I’ve been a wanderer since…ah a while now and was seeing this beautiful town was making me think it may be time.”

[honorable-blacksmith]

“Well, we always have room for more Gems, both permanent residents as well as those who just want to stay for a time. You’re more than welcome to stay.”

*Bismuth tells her with a gentle grin, totally understanding.*

[sunstonerp]

Sunstone gave her a soft genuine smile and she shoulders relaxed. It was nice to hear that she was welcome.

"Thank you," she said gently "it's nice to be welcomed.. not everyplace is so welcoming.."

[surplus-pink]

“Was that when we were in Rome? The architecture there was rather nice…and in India! SO many buildings there were absolutely lovely!”

*Pink couldn’t help gushing a little, of course having liked aesthetically pleasing designs. They’d seen many in their trips around the world.*

[sunstonerp]

Sunny beamed “They are supposed to be very lovely. But I’ve heard that there are some very unique animals and plants that live there” she explained excitedly “they are made just for living there!”

The thought made her very excited, but she was still excited to browse the gem made items. The little market had been set up shortly after they moved to Little Homeworld. It was a place where gems could flex their creative muscles.

[surplus-pink]

“Oh! Like the ones that can only live in the oceans!”

*Pearl said with a nod, while she wondered why anything would want to adapt to living in a desert she had to agree it would be interesting to see. And the idea made her beloved so happy, so it would be a nice time regardless….

The little “Art Bazaar” that the gems had going was still in it’s infancy but the event was already gaining a lot of traction. And would obviously become a big stable in their little community in the coming years. Everything from sculpture to wood working to metal art was available to see and from all sorts of gems. Topazes, Quartz, Tourmaline, Rubies….all classes were there. Browsing, displaying, and the mood was so casual and supportive…..

A Sapphire and Pearl duo were even off to the side, providing music for the atmosphere. The pair smiling and holding hands as they did so.*

[sunstonerp]

She gave a warm smile to the signing duo, nothing like that would have happened before the liberation. It filled her heart with joy to see all these different types of gems mingling so freely with eachother. Even her relationship with Pink would have been forbidden. They where of two very different classes and while a gem like her could of had her own Pearl, it wasn’t allowed to have a relationship.

The market was wonderful and full of beautiful hand crafted items. Sunstone had entertained the idea of crafting herself, but with so many different kinds she wasn’t sure where to start. She slipped her arm around Pink’s waist as the browsed the wares.

[surplus-pink]

*In the confines of Little Homeworld, the Sunstone and Pearl pair didn’t stick out as they would have once upon time. Pink loved being able to walk around and act like they were the couple they were, equals. She leaned against Sunny happily and, being a touchy feely gem in general due to her class and nature, was not shy about little affections as they enjoyed their day.

Pink liked to express her creativity via music but had contemplating getting into painting, namely painting flowers. She was always quick to encourage Sunny to try something, anything was a good starting point since it was all a trial and error thing anyway…*

“So many wonderful things to choose from…~”

[sunstonerp]

The yellow gem nodded in agreement as a particularly intricate tapestry caught her eye. It was a beautifully done sunset, filled with rich pinks and yellow-oranges. Her feet lead her towards the table and the Moldavite sitting there, busy in her work.

Sunstone just gaped at the beauty of the work, words failing her. She hope Pink would be able to put a few words together.

[sunstonerp]

[honorable-blacksmith] "Hey there! Welcome to Little Homeworld!"

@honorable-blacksmith

The yellow gem jumped slightly, she’d been lost in just admiring the place she hadn’t noticed the others approach.

“Oh! Thank you!” She said with a warm smile “it’s very lovely”

[honorable-blacksmith]

*Bismuth gave a soft laugh at this, flattered by the enthusiasm.*

“I think so too.~”

*With a grin she continued their little tour, the blacksmith pointing out the buildings and even different gems- who waved or gave greetings cheerily- as they became important to discuss. The settlement was a nice and fast growing community.*

[sunstonerp]

Sunstone was very much enjoying the tour. So much so that she’d began to wonder if maybe she should settle here. Since her … freedom, she’d been a wanderer. Exploring the planet she’s been stuck on, seeing its sights and wonders, and meeting it’s people.

Was it time to settle down? There was a lot of gems here.. maybe she could meet a nice one and make a life for herself here.

Sunstone was quiet as she mulled these thoughts over.

[honorable-blacksmith]

“And this is…..everything okay?”

*Bismuth asked, tone going soft and concerned when she turned and noted her companion’s expression. The healer had been quiet for a bit of time as well.*

[sunstonerp]

She jumped slightly, her face darkening in embarrassment. "Ah, sorry." Sunstone said "I was just wondering if it was time for me to settle down.. " she started to explain. "I've been a wanderer since...ah a while now and was seeing this beautiful town was making me think it may be time."
