[Somebody is looking, well she's still blue but! Her features seem softer, or at least more feminine than before.

Or it's just cause she's been away for a good while, who knows but she's in a good mood all things considered.]

So, hey. I was, I guess busy is the best way to put it? [Because she's not going to explain that she maybe kind of poofed and took a while coming back.] Yeah, busy. But things are cleared up and I feel like I... Missed somethings?

[She's out of the loop like whoa.]

So what interesting things have happened with the lot of you?

[kingfuckboy]

Personally? Not much. But I did see a lot more kids around. What happened to keep you so busy?

[riptidequeen]

Kids? That seems weird, even for here.

[... don't mind the awkward cough.] I was kind of, indisposed.

[kingfuckboy]

[ leans into the camera, considers, skeptical ]

Yeah, it was really weird. Really cute, though. [ blinks ]

Indisposed? Ah, well, good to see your face again.

Nothing interesting. [Sure, Soundwave. The stars going out or losing an arm wasn't interesting.] What happened to you? You look... different.

[He's not really sure how to put it, but he noticed her features being a bit different.]

[riptidequeen]

[She'll avoid answering/beat around the bush forever.]

Huh.

And it's a Gem thing, JJ. And um, thanks.

[riptidequeen]

[Good thing Lapis missed out on the stars thing, she'd have some words for that.]

Oh, um. Nothing happened. Just a Gem thing, it took longer then I thought it would is all. [And then muttered;] And way more Chroma then I expected.

[kingfuckboy]

Oh... Alright, then.

[ Accepts ]

But you're good now, then?

[riptidequeen]

[Phew, that is a sigh of relief on her end.]

Yup, all good and in one piece. So really nothing other then more children around?

[kingfuckboy]

[ He's sure he wouldn't get it anyway. ]

Man, I wish, but at least nothing too crazy was happening, right? I know how wild this place can get. I know you know, too.

[riptidequeen]

Heh, true. A bunch of children sounds almost pleasant in comparison to some of the more crazy stuff that's happened.

[kingfuckboy]

They were really cute. It was so tempting to just pick them up.

[ he loves children, okay ]

Say, Lapis. Speaking of new things...

Have you ever gone ice skating?

[riptidequeen]

I hope you didn't, that would be odd.

[Lapis only knows teenagers those are like kids right?]

Ice skating? [She says it like it's a foreign word.]

Can't say I have.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Gem thing...

[He would ask her to explain, but then he caught her muttering about Chroma.]

Are you short on Chroma, Lapis? Do you need help?

[riptidequeen]

[Whoopsie, he heard that.]

I'm good! Just things will be a bit tight, good thing I don't need to eat or anything like that.

[Ha ha ha.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Thanks his super hearing for that, her muttering might as well just be her whispering into his ear.]

Lapis, that does not exactly ease my worries. It is dangerous to be low on Chroma. [And boy does he know that.] And what do you mean exactly by a 'Gem thing'? What did you do that used up a lot of Chroma?

[kingfuckboy]

Well...would you like to, sometime, then?

[riptidequeen]

I'm not that low. [She thinks.] I can always hold hands and such to make it up.

[And not answering the questions.]

[riptidequeen]

Sure, it could be fun to do!

[peacewithouttyranny]

Hm. If you need help with Chroma, you can call me.

[Being friends and all. And he sees her avoiding there!]

You didn't answer the questions.

[riptidequeen]

I know, I might.

[This is her avoiding face, Soundwave.]

You asked some questions?

[peacewithouttyranny]

[......]

I see, so that is how you are going to be. [A brat, huh.] I do not why you are avoiding answering the questions, but I will take a guess.

I assumed you did something incredibly stupid, Lapis?

[riptidequeen]

[RUDE, she actually did something smart for once.]

No, I didn't do anything stupid. Just... When a Gem gets really like, super emotional. Good or bad, they can kind of.

Lose their form.

[She's not going to say what led to her having such emotions, good or bad, so Sounders will just have to deal with that.]

It took me a bit longer than normal to reform is all.

[peacewithouttyranny]

There. It wasn't so difficult to answer, was it?

[Snark. But hey, at least he's satisfied with her answer, and he won't asked what emotions led her to that.]

So you were restoring your form back all this time, I see. At least it wasn't anything bad. [Maybe.] I assumed something good happened to you before you were, ah... indisposed?

[... Considering her good mood in the post, he has a guess it's something good.]

[riptidequeen]

Still, I didn't feel like explaining.

[She can snark just as much right back atcha.]

It wasn't anything bad it was just um... I had a very nice "Valentines".

[That was well over a month ago, Lapis. Oh my goodness.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

That is nice. But... Valentine's was over a month ago, wasn't it.

[Wait, if it had been that long, and Lapis just came up like this then- She was recovering for that long?!]
