Oh, thaaat. [He shakes his head, although his frown shows that he might not be completely okay with it.]

Well I'm a Crystal Gem! I fight monsters too. S-so things aren't so bad. There aren't even bad monsters out here!

[fedupwithyourbull]

A... 'Crystal Gem'?

[jamminshield]

Yep! Gems are from another world, and the ones who decided to protect Earth called themselves the Crystal Gems! And me, I'm only half-gem, but I still get to be a Crystal Gem tooo!

[fedupwithyourbull]

So, "Gem" is... the name of an alien species?

[jamminshield]

That's right! Because every gem has a gemstone that's like their heart and their power. Even I do!

[He abruptly lifts up his shirt just enough to do the truffle shuffle show off his gem.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

I... see.

[i am literally a monster-fighting reformed terrorist catgirl ninja in disguise and even i think that's bizarre]

[jamminshield]

Pretty neat, huh? [He smiles as he lowers his shirt.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

It is. I've never heard of anyone like that.

[jamminshield]

Well, there's a first time for everything! It sounds like a lot of other worlds don't really have Gems...

[fedupwithyourbull]

Mine definitely doesn't.

[She's trying to imagine someone walking around with a Dust crystal fused to their bellybutton, and it's a bad mental image.]

[jamminshield]

You're missing out! [...Well, to be fair, missing out on a horrible invasion and a thousand year war may be a good thing.]

Oh, but I'm sure there's plenty of cool stuff where you're from!

[fedupwithyourbull]

... I don't know about that. I don't know what my world has that others wouldn't.

[jamminshield]

...Good point. You pretty much just got here! Um... you can just get back to me when you figure it out!

[fedupwithyourbull]

[... well, at least this child means well.]

I'll be sure to do that.

[jamminshield]

Great! Sooo just keep me updated, and in the meantime I'm sure we'll have loads of fun!

[fedupwithyourbull]

[how do i politely tell a child that i am made of angst and drama.]

... Fun. Sure. Why don't you tell me about your world, first?

[jamminshield]

Okay, sure! Iiii live on a planet called Earth. But that's not saying much! We got lots of Earths all up in this party.

But our Earth, we got a whole bunch of countries and a lot of different cultures! I think it's pretty much the basic Earth package, except some of the names are different! I think the main thing that makes out Earth special is the gems! But I told you a little about them already.
