Video | UN: oceangem, it's an AMA

[riptidequeen]

Okay so... I've been thinking of doing this for a bit now.

[Hi, it's Lapis again. And what has she been thinking about? You'll see.]

But anytime I mention that I'm a Gem I usually have to explain things to people so I thought "Why not make a network thing that anyone can come and ask me things"? So, yeah.

I'm a Gem, like the stones, ask me things?

[Larry giggles.]

You're telling her that we ground up her kind just to make paint.

[wantsnudes]

I was merely outlining the value of lapis lazuli! I was not trying to insinuate that--

[Then he thinks about it for a second, and something finally seems to click.]

...Oh.

[loungelizard]

Oh, don't worry. She knows that's probably not the case -- but that doesn't make it any less upsetting to imagine.

It invokes a reaction. Not that unlike art!

[wantsnudes]

Indeed. Art's mission is to be provocative, but careless words ought not to be so. I owe her an apology...

[loungelizard]

[Aw, kid.]

Don't be too hard on yourself. This isn't the kind of thing she'd hold a grudge about.

[He only says this because he assumes that he's said plenty of things that would cause someone to develop a grudge, but she still talks to him.]

[wantsnudes]

Are you sure? I suppose if you know her well, I will trust your opinion.

[loungelizard]

Oh, sure.

I mean, the apology will help.

[riptidequeen]

[Just mouthing the words "Thank you" to Larry.]

[loungelizard]

[Larry winks, points "at her" through the camera, and clicks his tongue twice. He got u.]

[riptidequeen]

[Lapis was going to smile, until the pointing and tongue clicking. He may got her, but she's still going to shake her head with a slight laugh and then sigh.]

I thought saying it was barbaric would have got the point across.

[loungelizard]

Don't take it too personally. It seems like he was just really excited to share his trivia knowledge about paint.

[If it seems like he's being flippant, it's because he's been guilty of the same kind of thing in the past.]

[riptidequeen]

As long as he doesn't try to make me into paint? We're good.

[Lucky for Larry he hasn't hit that point with Lapis, yet.]
