Video | UN: oceangem, it's an AMA

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?

Are you used to spending time around humans, or is this your first time encountering them? I'm always interested in outside perspectives.

[............because he also has one but he can't just SAY that]

[riptidequeen]

This isn't my first time around humans, actually! I live on Earth so it's kind of hard to avoid them, and one of my good friends back home is half-human.

[baitless]

I see! I have found that I should not assume, since I have encountered several people who have never met humans before arriving here. It fascinates me, to a certain extent, and... well, I always find myself wondering about people's experiences with them.

[riptidequeen]

Huh, never met humans before here? That's certainly a thing, don't you think?

[And, because she can see him and such... He looks human but talks about humans like they're different from him?]

You're not human, are you?

Public->Private

[......aaaaaAaaaaaaAAAAAA HE THOUGHT HE WAS BEING SUBTLE]

N-no, I am. I am simply curious, that is all.

[he leaves that comment, looks at it for a few seconds, then responds again with a private filter....]

...honestly, I find myself too excited to meet others who are not human that I find myself being... incautious about it, I suppose. It’s far riskier to be honest about what I really am back home, so even here, I find myself wanting to keep it private.

Private

[riptidequeen]

[She's just going to switch right to private, considering his conflicting public statement.]

I see, well if you want to be more careful about it? Try to not talk about humans as if they're different from yourself, that kind of gives you away, sir.

[She says this as a fellow non-human, really some of his phrasing made her feel the need to question him.]
