(Extremely late starter for @amethysti! Oh my god I’m so sorry this took so long)
This isn’t going like Spinel hoped it would. Not at all. She was supposed to be having a happy-go-lucky, rooting tooting old time, making all these new friends with all the friendly folks around this little island. Instead, she’s...
Miserable.
A Spinel isn’t supposed to feel miserable. She’s supposed to be happy! She’s supposed to make other gems happy! But instead, she finds herself moping and crying and not even having the energy to stretch her limbs about and do silly dances.
But she won’t let herself cry any more tears about it, oh no. She’s going to find the first gem she sees and she’s going to cheer her up and feel normal.
And aha! There’s one now! A purple gem with her gem right in the middle of her chest, totally unmistakable! The other gem hasn’t noticed Spinel herself yet - she’s just walking around, putting things in her mouth for some reason - so Spinel smiles to herself. She knows just the way to cheer someone up!
Using her ability to stretch, she climbs up onto the top of a short little building, waits for the gem to pass...
And then, like some kind of stretchy toy, she curves herself over the side of the building so that she’s hanging off it, before she curves herself back, right-side up, her torso hanging in midair in front of the gem!
“Well, howdy-dee-do, neighbor!” she says in a ridiculous accent, mimicking doffing a ‘hat.’ “Where’s a little lady like you travellin’ on such a fine day?”
