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!

And now she's here. ]
This is wrong! This is all wrong!
no subject
It could be worse. It could be the fusion running rampant, instead of just Jasper.
[though she'll admit that you're perfectly free to run rampant too, technically speaking.]
no subject
[ She's strong. Maybe Garnet is stronger, but...
Her shoulders dip. ]
I guess none of that matters now.
no subject
Not at the moment, no. Jasper isn't here, last I checked.
[evenly:] What will you do now, Lapis Lazuli?
[about Pearl. She's not exactly going to go down without a fight, but she doesn't look like she's about to start one either.]
no subject
I...I...
[ Then even quieter: ]
I don't know.
no subject
At least she's got a home she wants to return to.]
What if we called a truce for the time being, while we work on trying to get out of this place?
no subject
Some damaged pride balks at that offer, but as Lapis quietly considers it, even she can see that might be for the best. ]
Do you even have a plan for how to get out of this place?
no subject
Pearl huffs.] I have plenty of plans. They're all simply lacking in one crucial way or another. [grumble!] The planets we've visited haven't had the most useful of resources.
[not to mention a ship designed for Gems wouldn't work if she wanted to bring Steven along. And keep him alive. And not take at least 50+ years to get back to Earth.]
And I don't recognize any of these systems. [read: these are not Gem controlled systems - at least not those from 5000 years ago] I've drawn up some star charts, if you want to look at them later.
no subject
So we're a long way from home, is what you're saying.
What if I tried to fly away?
[ But she's got the feeling that if it were that easy, they wouldn't still be stuck here. ]
no subject
[Pearl looks like she's thinking hard, though. Could Atroma stop you from flying off? Could the augment do that?]
no subject
Wh-what about other planets? If I could land on one, and see if anyone can point me in the right direction...
no subject
[this is actually a pretty good brainstorming session. Your abilities definitely add another dimension to this.]
Either way, you should take a look at the star charts first. If you recognize anything, that should narrow it down by a lot.
no subject
[ She doesn't want to. She doesn't want to work with Pearl. She just wants to be left alone.
But that solitude isn't a luxury she can afford any longer. She made a promise to herself and she won't stay a prisoner here any longer than she has to. ]
no subject
Right. Come find me when you get off the Marsiva. I'm on the Vanquish.
