The war for Earth was a bust. The Diamonds don't...exactly know I'm here. I'd like to keep it that way. I'm more useful here! Just ask the humans; they know me by name.

@syntaxeme‘s toxic gem, Arsenic ^_^

[Haha. Ha. Hey guys. So, um. This is a little embarrassing, but better to address it than to just disappear: I'm, uh...not sure how much longer I'll be here. "But you just got here!" Yeah, I know. I know I have a bunch of threads going, too. Thing is, I started this in a fit of SU-related excitement, and now that it's kind of quieted down, so have my muses.... I'm also really busy irl. Finding work and trying to take care of myself and struggling to focus on my own writing. I'm not going to say right now "I'm leaving forever," but...I also can't promise I'll be around regularly or often. I'm really sorry, guys. If you want to find me, my personal blog is @syntaxeme but it's not really SU-themed and is occasionally nsfw. I just figured it would be best to let you know something instead of ignoring it forever.]

“You belong to me now, do you understand?! I don’t want to hear a single complaint!” “How dare you speak up to me?!” ”At the market they told me you were well behaved, you better not disappoint me now.” “How dare you complain while I provide you with food and a bed?” ”I paid good money for your pretty face. It’s not too much to ask you to do this for me…” “You don’t get to decide what happens to you. I own you!” “I don’t care whether it’s hard work. You do it because I paid for you to do it.” “If you oppose me, I will punish you so much you won’t even dare to speak again.” “Your personal feelings don’t exist anymore. You obey. Nothing more.” “You can’t take it anymore? Then I must bring you back. Broken products should be returned.” “Tell me who you belong to. I like to hear you say it.” “I do with you whatever I want from now on.” “Work through your hunger. You will get fed when you deserve it.” ”I think you’ve deserved the evening off. I know you’re overheated, go bathe.” ”You’ll need to get used to things around here, but I expect no complaints.” ”I don’t treat you half as badly as some out there. Aren’t you grateful?” ”I am not supposed to feel affection for you, slave, but I have no one else around to talk to.” ”I wouldn’t have slaves if I didn’t need them. Now do your job and don’t look at me like that.” “You can work harder than this.” “Don’t disappoint me, slave, or you’ll get punished.” “I expected you to be done with this this morning already. Have you been slacking? You know what happens when people don’t work their hardest, don’t you?” ”You serve me well, slave. I’m very fond of you. Now, keep this up another few years and you might even see your freedom again one day.” “Your tears mean nothing to me.” ”I’m not satisfied with your work. Try harder.” “You are supposed to fear me.”

Work Can Wait

Arsenic was in the process of closing a deal with a particularly finicky client. She had almost turned him away for demanding so much, but her pride had driven her to prove she could do all that and more. Though he seemed almost offended by how well she handled his many, many conditions, eventually he was satisfied enough to trust her. He left her with half of their agreed price, promising the rest on delivery of his “order.” Pretty standard. 

Once he was gone and Arsenic had added his requests to her schedule, she let out a heavy sigh and shrugged out of her leather jacket to toss it onto her throne. It was hot, and the sun was doing nothing for the planning capacity of her brain. Another advantage to human clothes: easily to customize, easy to alter. She slid her fingers behind her crown and down through her hair, preparing to braid it as she thought about her work for the day. @rainbow-of-gems

Lapis frowned, aiming a side glance in the other gem’s direction. “Yeah well…” she huffed, blowing a stray lock of hair out of her face. “I don’t see it.” She stated bluntly, “What’s so good about this planet anyway? What’s so special about humans and Earth and…leafs?” She asked, watching another brilliantly red leaf flutter down to the ground.

[toxic-gem-blog]

“You’re welcome to correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds an awful lot like you don’t want to see it,” Arsenic pointed out. “Like...maybe you’ve been unhappy for so long that trying to be anything else is a little nerve-wracking?” She tilted her head to one side for another angle on the other Gem. She did seem to be willfully angry about her situation. Psychologically, that made sense, she supposed. Realistically, it was no way to live. 

“Maybe I’m just hearing you wrong. What I’m saying is there’s plenty that’s special. If, hypothetically, you made yourself hate it all on principle, I can understand how that might be hard to see.”

"Just curious: how do you feel about humans? I mean, as a group."

“Worthless organics, that’s what I think. Honestly, what did Rose see in them to turn traitor on her own kind? We ought to have blown the planet off the star-map from the beginning, that’s what I say.”

[toxic-gem-blog]

“Okay, but…for the sake of argument, what would anyone have gained from that? It’s impossible to say anything is completely worthless. I mean, the whole reason behind the war was that different people found Earth valuable for different reasons. Right?”

Ask my character "How do you feel about ______?" Can be an idea, person(s), place, or thing, and they'll have to answer honestly.

At Least I’m Trying

[blackstardiopside-moved-deactiv]

‘Snack snack.. where are you snacks?!’  Black Star was in a frenzied state.  Just wanting to get some space from Arsenic.  Standing on her tiptoes she was able to open the freezer door to reveal some chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches.  “Oh my gosh.. perfect” the smaller gem licked her lips as she grabbed three of the frozen treats.

Satisfied with her little haul, Black Star was ready to confront Arsenic again.  But when her eyes went to the couch, she wasn’t there!  Turning her head to the right, she found her ‘company’ eyeing the warp pad.  “Hey!  What do you think you’re doing by that?!”

[toxic-gem-blog]

“How many times am I going to have to remind you I’m not a bad guy?” she called back without looking away from the warp pad. She hadn’t touched it; in fact, even as she went over to inspect the temple door, she went around the warp pad. Would that help Black Star calm the hell down? “I’m just curious. Looking, no touching. It’s the Crystal Gems’ fault for not being here to meet me. Us.”

[toxic-gem-blog]

"Are you threatening me?"

"Trust me: if I were threatening you, you’d know it,” she said plainly. “I’m actually trying to do the opposite.” She was never much for conflict if it could be solved through negotiation; that is, she would sooner pay someone off than beat them into silence. “What I’m saying is I’m positive there’s something I could do for you, and all I’d ask in return is just a quick look around your little temple.” She wouldn’t say what she was looking for, but she still felt it wasn’t a terribly extreme request.
