one ☂ rain, rain, go away...
Who: Lapis Lazuli & YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: S.S. Huntress
When: 1/10
[ VIDEO ]
[ The very second she wakes, the immediacy of how wrong this is crashes over her like a wave.
Lapis curls upright on a cot on the Marsiva, blinking and coughing - like she's been underwater for too long. Frantically, she reaches out for something that isn't there - a shackle. A connection she had been holding on to with all the strength she had, just moments ago -
She had lost it. She hadn't been strong enough.
She stumbles off the cot like she's still getting her land legs, and slowly moves out of the room, quickly casting glances around every corner as she moves down hallways. This doesn't look like a Homeworld ship, but...it has to be. She wasn't strong enough to stay fused with Jasper, and so she must have gotten free. She was probably hurting Steven right now, and Lapis had been taken prisoner again -
What's the point?
In front of a large window, she slumps down, arms winding around her knees. She her forehead against them until she can't see the harsh lights of the ship anymore. With that blocked out, there's just her, and the tumultuous ocean roiling inside of her. ]
[ ACTION ]
[ Soon enough, Lapis is shuttled off to the S.S. Huntress, and she enters the ship with all the reluctance in the world. She is not happy to be here. She barely minds the fact that she's been assigned to a Security position - rather, she avoids the armory entirely. She didn't ask for this. She didn't ask to come here, to be taken prisoner yet again by an organization she knew nothing about, but who would inevitably find some way to use her to their ends.
She doesn't want any of this.
And so as Lapis makes her way to the bunks, she starts pulling - only partly deliberately - on any liquids she passes. Someone using the toilet or shower may suddenly find the water fleeing upwards and out towards the Gem calling it to her. Water, tea, or any other drink may jump out of a cup or drink dispenser as she passes. She does this until she builds a small river down the hallway, barely glancing at anyone she passes unless - unless, they get a bit too close for comfort. ]
No! Just - just stay away from me!

action;
[She looks at Lapis up and down. She doesn't seem too inhuman...]
Would you be safe out there?
action;
I'm a Gem. We travel through space all the time.
[ Well. Not her so much, until recently. ]
action;
[Her lips press into a line.]
Just promise me you'll come back if things get dicey, okay? The last thing I want is someone dying because they threw themselves into some kind of impenetrable barrier.
action;
I won't be of any use to anyone if my gem's shattered. [ It'd take a lot to do that, but at the end of the day, Lapis has a reason to want to stay alive. She had an unfinished job to do. ] I'll be careful.
action;
[She turns to lead Lapis down the hall towards the shuttle bay.]
What's your name? Mine's Undyne.
action;
What if this doesn't work? ]
Lapis. Lapis Lazuli.
action;
So, you're not just named after a gem. You... are one. [The thing about fusing went straight over her head. Call her curious.]
There's all kinds of monsters at home but I don't think I've ever met one that was a jewel. Ghosts, fire, volcanoes, airplanes, skeletons, lizards... we've got the works. No gems though.
action;
That's right. We're the physical manifestations of our gems. [ Lapis Lazuli, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, Rose Quartz...and then some. ] It might look like I have a body, but what's me...what's really me, is my gem.
[ She understands that's quite different from humans. A gem could survive if their physical form was damaged, but that isn't true for all life forms. ]
What's a...no, I don't think I know what any of those are.
