She tries. She really does. All of her fights to KEEP IT TOGETHER ( ! ). Steven needs you. Amethyst needs you. Garnet even needs you sometimes. Amethyst. Steven. Rose. By now it’s been more than a decade, and yet on some cloudy days she still swears she can see her in his eyes, or that his black unruly hair has turned pink and silky.

Pearl described in one word – by many of those around her – would be ‘ fluttery ‘. Her instructions are speedy, her movements erratic, and her urge to CONTROL is unlike any other. She tries so hard to be the kind of person she would like to be but isn’t yet. She wants to be a leader, and she wants to be strong, not just because she’s only a pearl, but because she has to be that person. Otherwise all they have is Garnet, because even though Amethyst and Steven are wonderful, they aren’t leadership-material ( yet, in any case ).

She misses Rose. Rose wouldn’t even have to try. She just ... DID. And then the rest followed. Pearl’s legs dangle over a cliff, her back leans against a tree, and she thinks she can hear the birds singing about her loss. Their loss. Rose was everyone’s – and no one’s, all at once. Rose always did what she wanted. And Greg’s. A grimace runs across Pearl’s features. Restless fingers start picking at the grass.

In the beginning, it’s only a mumble, but then it takes a more solid shape. ❛ I wish I were more like you, ❜ she softly confesses. The tree is her confession booth. The birds are her priests. How lucky, she thinks, to have so many of them. ❛ I don’t know how to be a leader. I know how to PRETEND to be one, but you and I both know that’s not the same. ❜ She scoffs at herself, but her voice still keeps to the soft theme of tonight. ❛ 6,000 years of rebelling, and what do I have to show for it? Not much in the department of personal growth. ❜ The grass she collects carelessly falls through the depth of the cliff beneath. ❛ I’m, ❜ her hands still, and a lump pushes its way to her throat, ❛ sorry to have disappointed you. I know you expected me to take good care of Steven. And I just ... can’t. No matter how hard I try. I’ll never be as good as you. ❜

HERE he is! The moment Pearl steps off the transporter a small bundle of energy is bounding towards her and then into her; short arms wrapping tightly round her middle. She’s only been gone all of a two hours, but it’s important to remind people that you love them. 

“You’re back! Was it fun, did you find anything  interesting-did you miss me?”   

[wargem-blog]

Her body stiffens a bit as his sturdy, little body collides with her middle, briefly knocking a bit of air out of her lungs. Then she erupts in laughter and drapes one arm around his shoulders, loosely holding him close. ❛ Of course I missed you. But don’t worry, ❜ she starts drawing away from him to walk towards the couch, ❛ you didn’t miss out on a great adventure. Not much happened at all. ❜

      ‘  honestly , it all depends on the publication . some are rather entertaining , i dare say ; while others  —- well , lets just say accuracy was never the intended purpose .  ‘  he assumes it to be safe to say that simply stating himself to be an angel of the lord has little meaning to those with no knowledge of the lord nor of angels . ‘  i reckon i am a — field agent , of sorts . with a very – remote , yet omnipresent boss . awfully boring business , once you get down to it . ‘ all too curious of the stranger , he quickly changes the subject , barely containing the urge to eagerly bounce his heels . ‘  you speak of others , are there many of you ? pray forgive me if it is rude to ask , but i cannot help but to be very curious . i’m afraid it has been a — long time since anything unfamiliar crossed my path . ‘

This man seems very trustworthy, and while Pearl would’ve been hesitant to share any information about gems to humans, this man is exactly not a man. She supposes it’s alright, as long as she keeps it vague and doesn’t expose any weaknesses. Especially since avoidance might edge him on. ❛ How many, I am not exactly sure. There is not a fixed number. Here, on Earth, we are ... not a lot. Most gems are in Homeworld, far away from Earth, further than anyone but gems can reach, really. ❜ There is a possibility of other creatures finding them, yes, but she doesn’t want him to know that, in case he has bad intentions after all. She has been through one too many near death experiences to wish an extra one upon herself.

❛ Hellooo. ❜ She slips into the barn, the door creaking a little as she does. ❛ Peridot? Lapis? ❜ Her voice already shows off the nerves hidden in her chest, and her hands are clasped nervously by her chest.

❛ Oh, hello, are you one of Steven’s friends? He’s actually not here right now, but I’m sure he’ll be back soon. Want a snack? ❜ Pearl is feeling particularly maternal today, not for any particular reason really, but it’s been a few weeks since her last near death experience, so that probably has an influence on her mood.

❛ Now, Steven ... I have read all about this, don’t worry. Massage is supposed to be relaxing, so that would really go against the whole concept of this. Ready? ❜ She waits for his approval, then her slim hands go for his back as if he were a cucumber and she were trying to cut him into little pieces, using just her fingers. Proud of the motion, she exclaims, ❛ Isn’t this just a wonderful invention?? Sometimes you have to give credit to the humans where credit is due. ❜

             a soft hand reciprocates her greeting as he eagerly listens to her explanation . how truly marvelous , he would not claim to know all things ( err , well , theoretically he does . but all things is an awful lot of  —  things , and he only has the security clearance to actively remember some twelve percent . perhaps world saving gemstones are above his pay - grade . ) but he did think of himself as quite the veteran within the Apocalypse Reversing Genre , and quite frankly he’d greatly appreciate knowing if the world was  – - well , ending . ‘  oh , well , ‘ he scurries slightly , as to squeeze his little confession in between her rushed sentences , ‘  i’m not strictly human , either . not at all , as a matter of fact . i reckon i’m in a —- whole different ballpark . ever heard of the bible ?  ‘    

[wargem-blog]

Her squeeze is a little too tight for normal standards, but of course Pearl is none the wiser. She smiles broadly when it is revealed that she was correct in her first assumption of the person in front of her not being human. Her gut was right in that sense, then. ❛ The Bible? ❜ she echoes, and purses her lips in deep thought. ❛ I believe I have heard the word before, I’m not sure where, though. ❜ Her brow furrows, until a victorious smile breaks through. ❛ Ah! One time, Garnet and Steven and I were in a bigger town, and some friendly people carrying signs recommended Garnet and I read the Bible. Come to think of it, we never did. Is it any good ?? ❜

           he  pauses  ,  delicate  fingers  plucking  the  glasses from his face altogether as his gaze once again narrows towards her . he can sense the misunderstanding unfolding upon itself , and it’s  strangely reminiscent of his first encounter with a humanoid robot . ‘  – you’re a … rock ? ‘ he speaks slowly , narrowed gaze observing the gem adorning the other’s forehead . in retrospect it’s quite telling , —- but he had figured it to be some obscure fashion statement . ‘ – i’m afraid there has been quite the mix - up . i’m not a - – gem . as a matter of fact , i have never known a gemstone to – -  speak . or do much of anything aside from – well — existing .  ‘ 

Oh. Well, that did explain things. Apparently he hadn’t understood her – which was quite odd, since she had said the world ‘gem’ a couple of times, but perhaps his human ears had betrayed him. ❛ I’m Pearl, ❜ she says proudly and sticks out a hand to formally greet the stranger. ❛ And I am a pearl. And I, and many other gems, do a lot more than simply exist. ❜ She scoffs at the thought, almost wishing that were the case. ❛ I’ve actually saved your entire planet and species multiple times. But do you humans recognize it ?? Oh no, you never thank us for cleaning up your messes. Granted, sometimes they are our own messes, but ––- ❜

[bibliophilc]

       ‘ — it’s not a beard , it’s just a - – well , –  ‘  he pauses , if only to collect himself . there were times when he momentarily forgot about such terribly mundane things as facial hair , or when he was — frightfully busy with —- other things , and simply did not have the time to pay attention to the whims of a human vessel  . still , he is well aware of humans and their norms of hygiene , and has the social competence to look sheepish about it . ‘  ‘ts only a bit of a – scruff . either way i have never understood the fright of hair , it is hardly unhygienic , you were all plenty thankful for it when you lot slept on cold rocks .  ‘  

[wargem-blog]

She blinks slowly and raises her hands to hold her head. I wish Garnet were here. Pearl is just ... a pearl. ❛ But we are rocks. Gems. ❜ She points to the gem lodged snugly into her forehead, frustrated. ❛ Why would we sleep on other gems ?? And why would we sleep at all ?? Yes, Amethyst enjoys it, but even she doesn’t sleep on other gems. ❜

bibliophilc:

            ‘  gem ?  ‘  silence stretches as the angel peers over the frames of his glasses , a curious gaze narrowing as he observes the stranger . now , he could agree that he had chosen a quite adventurous tie for this particular day , venturing beyond the standard bland tartan pattern , but to stretch it as far as to be called peculiar was a bit harsh . manicured fingers push the glasses further up the bridge of his nose as he momentarily ponders upon her words . certainly she had seen a shopkeeper before , or perhaps he should not be so quick to judge when he himself had procrastinated going to a real shop for centuries . perhaps others were just as unimpressed by the trend of consumerism as he once had been . ‘  my kind ? dear me , sure you have . there’s quite a lot of us , especially ‘round these parts . ‘ 

❛ I ... am confused. Do you mean to tell me there are other gems, who choose such an ... atypical form? ❜ A long, almost skeleton-like finger reaches out to poke the stranger’s chin where a five o’clock shadow rests. ❛ Amethyst sometimes takes shape as someone with, well, body hair, but never a beard. Has this always been your form? ❜ As her eyebrows gather on her forehead to discuss this strange situation, her finger strokes her own chin, which is as smooth as a baby’s bottom. It’s not that the beard would make this gem less of a gem, she has just never considered a beard herself.

❛ No no, officer, we just had a little problem, you see, Steven and I were playing around with swords – I mean, not that you’d play with them, obviously you’d fight with them – and it just got lodged in the roof and Amethyst is on a mission with Garnet ... Why are you here again? ❜
