First Hot Dog [Video]

[jamminshield]

Who: Steven Universe and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Today!

[Steven has some very mixed feelings about waking up in outer space. On one hand, it's space! He's so excited to be in outer space!

But that is dampened a bit by the conflicting feeling. The last time he was being taken to space, he was being captured and it was a Very Bad Thing.

The tiny child paces around uncertainly, trying to look for any sign of friend or foe. At least he doesn't seem to be in a prison cell this time. Maybe this isn't so bad?

When he finds the video feed, he'll prod at it uncertainly, while trying to be brave.]

Hey! Is anyone there?

Um... This is a nice spaceship! I really like it, and I always wanted to go on a space adventure. But I have important things going on back home, so it would be nice to save the space vacation for later!

[Then he frets a little more and looks around uncertainly.]

Un-unless I'm here 'cuz you're one of the guys that wants to do bad things on Earth. If that's it, then... Can we please just talk?

[Steven blinks a little and goes on with nervous politeness.]

That's really nice and all, but the last Dogcopter movie already sold me on believing in alternate universes. [That and he accidentally created an alternate timeline, but it's best not to bring that up again.]

What I really wanna know about is... friends! What kinds have you been making here, Pearl? Come on, no need to be shy!

[she probably doesn't understand Dogcopter either, to be honest]

Well, the humans on the ship aren't too bad. At least one of them seems to be very interested in space.

Ah. And there's somebody else who's almost like a Gem. He has a Mind Stone right here. [and she's pointing at her own gem]

[jamminshield]

[Steven smiles brightly at the mention of the humans. Pearl and humans, being friends? He's so glad! And he sounds so impressed about this one friend.]

Oooh! A Mind Stone? What's that like? Can he pull all kinds of neat things out of it like you do with your Gem?

[stickupherforehead]

[at least the lack of space on the ships precludes the possibility of any fence building, with or without barbed wire.]

I'm not sure about that. But I did think it was interesting that he seemed to view himself and his gem [or stone] as separate beings, to some degree.

[she does like his logic though]

[jamminshield]

[Maybe this will help Pearl to be less de-fence-ive about humans.]

That is really interesting! I bet you can learn all kinds of neat things about his gem. There must be all kinds of things to learn from the people up here!

[stickupherforehead]

[she's still sitting on it, so to speak]

You're right. That's what exploring space is about, isn't it?

[jamminshield]

Yeah, I guess it is! If you ever have any cool stories about space or the people you're with, I'd really love to learn them!
