A short scene, with three old designs (Red Moonstone, Violet Sapphirine, Emerald) getting redone for human-shaped practice. I hope it’s easy to follow Moon’s word bubble - I was trying to be experimental.
Red moonstone, or Moon, is a Space Crystal Gem, gathering rebels and hiding on distant asteroid belts or untouched moons, waiting for Rose Quartz to summon her. She uses a hooked sword, to harken back to her original design of Literal Pirate.
Violet Sapphirine, or Vee, is a pseudo-Sapphire, meant to predict actions taken by the rebels. She instead uses her ability in battle, knowing her opponents moves before they do. Moon found her on a Hessonite ship, surrounded by bubbled gems. She uses cruel-looking daggers, with too-keen edges and twisted hilts.
Pale Blue Pearl, or Wave, is a mostly average pearl, save for being exceedingly modest dress-wise. Wave always hated the outfits her Agate demanded of her, and when Vee caught up to them in an escape pod, Wave shanked her former master and never looked back. Her weapon is a thin stiletto, looking quite a bit like an icepick.
Star Emerald, he/him pronouns, is White Diamonds second Emerald, lower in rank because of gem placement rather than merit. Ruthless and cunning, his greatest flaws are his strong sense of self-preservation, and an ego the size of Homeworld. His weapons are a whip-like tail that shoots destabilizing beams, and a pair of gloves that do the same.
Aquamarine, or Bangs, is Star Emeralds second, which feels a great deal like gemsitting. Bangs true talents lie in machinery repair and design, but until their emergency Rebellion, she’s never gotten to partake very often. Her weapons are the traditional Tractor Beam and the non-standard Spanner of Certain Doom.
This scene is when Moon captures Star Emerald and he finally joins up, only a few years before Pink diamond’s shattering. The large group of gems hide out, until one day a small ship of off-colors and their human captain fly by…
