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.

...Another Crystal Gem.

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.

"That's...one way of putting it." Lapis sighs. "Has someone told you what's going on here yet?"

She doesn't want to waste the time if she doesn't need to.

Lapis only has any idea what Amethyst is talking about because that's exactly what she was told herself.

She nods. "You don't seem very concerned about being here."

"Has something like this ever happened to you before?"

How could she sound so sure about it?

[personal profile] waterwing 2016-01-17 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
"...Right." She hesitates, before adding, "Have you talked to Steven yet?"
waterwing: (☂ wrecking balls inside my brain)

...Well, that's good, at least. Probably.

"Have you looked around? There's not exactly an ocean to steal."

"I never said that!"
waterwing: (☂ a lot of fight left in me)

[personal profile] waterwing 2016-01-19 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not going to steal an ocean, Amethyst."

Not without a good reason, anyway.

"As much as you can. We probably won't even be on the same ship."

Or, at least, Lapis hopes they won't be.

"I don't need you to watch me. The Atroma are doing enough of that."

They're always being watched, and that's not a comforting thought.
waterwing: (☂ can you hear my voice this time?)

[personal profile] waterwing 2016-01-22 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't feel like I should trust you either."

But...she knew the feeling, too. Not that she's about to admit it out loud.
waterwing: (☂ a lot of fight left in me)

[personal profile] waterwing 2016-01-23 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
"The fact that you admit it doesn't make it any more reassuring."
waterwing: (40)

[personal profile] waterwing 2016-01-23 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess I can't fault you there."
