[Pearl and Gem are out in the fields of Pearl’s base, armed with massive amounts of dog toys. Pearl’s dogs can't just stay inside all the time, after all– they need to go for walks and to the bathroom. Pearl likes to bring others along– usually she can handle them all on her own, but better to have an extra pair of eyes just in case.]

[They're talking idly in-between Pearl throwing tennis balls for the dogs. She laughs, wings fluttering.]

And yknow, everyone wishes they were a mob themselves sometimes, don't they? I mean, look at 'em, they're so happy. [She gestures to one of the dogs, trotting up to her with a ball, tail wagging.]

[ Gem is flying over Pearl’s base, headed back from gathering materials, when she gets a definitely-not-slightly-evil idea. Pearl, unfortunately, is not outside at the moment, so Gem continues back to her own base, stopping by the bridge first to deposit her materials. ]

[ Gem busies herself with random tasks, occasionally checking the server chat and debating starting a fire just to get Pearl over here. The impulses win out, and she flies back over to Pearl’s base, finding an empty clearing before setting one small, teensy-tiny fire. Now, she waits. ]

[ Sure enough, Pearl’s antennae are quick to pick up on the smell of smoke. She rushes outside with a water bucket, immediately tossing it on the fire. ]

[ It spots Gem nearby, flint and steel still in hand, and sputters. ]

Gem! My grass! You can't be doing that to a lady's grass!

[ It eyes her warily, expecting her to try and go for another block. ]

- @gems-mailbox

Oh yeah sure! If you've ever done it on a banner it's pretty similar to that. You gotta like, use water to make 'em fade out.

[pearls-mailbox]

[Pearl reads the second note, antennae drooping as she realizes it's going to be weird if she doesn't reply.]

[Maybe if she keeps not replying, Gem will assume she's busy and leave her alone for long enough for this stupid robot voice to wear off. Maybe? Hopefully.]

Happy Birthday to @gems-mailbox! Let's celebrate! 🎂🎉

[pearls-mailbox]

-gem

*a box is included with the letter, and a bit of fluff is peeking out the top*

[ooc: for anyone else who sees this this is separate from the rp chain reblog thingy]

[Pearl peeks inside the box... oh, it's just a stuffed animal. Whew... that's nice of Gem.]

[...Probably best not to try to reply, though. She doesn't know if maybe that will somehow get robot-blocked too, and Gem is the last person she wants seeing her like this...]
