Five more minutes
Who: Amethyst and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: 1/13/16
Because this place isn't creepy or anything, the camera is zoomed in on the sleeping face a purple woman. Eventually, she stirs in her sleep, than sits up in a daze and looks around in mild confusion.
"Wha? This isn't the temple."
She mainly sounds sleepy and bored, more than panicked or confused. She climbed out of the bunk and wandered around, the camera following discretely, and scratched at herself sleepily.
"Garnet? Pearl? Steven? Where are you guys? Where am I, for that matter?"
Yup, Amethyst sure is raking in those ratings right now guys. Just...give her a minute.

While there were certainly others she would be less thrilled to see join the fleet - any of the Gems who had brought her back to Earth, for example - Lapis can't say she's especially thrilled to see Amethyst arrive. Old habits die hard, and the Crystal Gems make her...jumpy. Suspicious. But...
They're Steven's friends. They were responsible for protecting him - and they seemed to do a better job of doing it than her, even if they had let him be taken here, too.
"...You're on a spaceship, and before you ask, the Homeworld Gems aren't responsible for this." So she had been told, anyway.

"I figured. Homeworld Gems got way classier digs than these."
no subject
She doesn't want to waste the time if she doesn't need to.
no subject
"Eh. Sort of. Reality TV. Lost in space. Etc etc."
no subject
She nods. "You don't seem very concerned about being here."
no subject
She shrugged.
"Also we're the Crystal Gems. Weird stuff happens to us all the time. We'll figure it out."
no subject
How could she sound so sure about it?
no subject
She made a gesture encompassing the whole ship.
"But weird stuff."
no subject
no subject
That's it.
"So...what are you doing here? You're not gonna steal the ocean again are you?"
no subject
"Have you looked around? There's not exactly an ocean to steal."
no subject
This is why we need Steven around. To keep the rest of the Crystal Gems from assuming the worst about gems.
no subject
no subject
Now she's just being a brat and she knows it.
no subject
Not without a good reason, anyway.
no subject
To make sure there was no confusion, Amethyst pointed to her visible eye with one finger on each hand.
no subject
Or, at least, Lapis hopes they won't be.
no subject
"If you think I can't watch you from another space ship you got another thing coming."
There wasn't much else to say on the subject, really, but if she dropped it then they'd get to the 'so now what' stage and that was always awkward.
no subject
They're always being watched, and that's not a comforting thought.
no subject
She made a helpless face. "I dunno man, I don't feel like I should trust you but this whole thing is so weird that you're almost like a familiar face."
no subject
But...she knew the feeling, too. Not that she's about to admit it out loud.
no subject
That makes sense. I'm not very trustworthy."
