Video | UN: RedBlades

[ As soon as the video turns on, Karma's already waving one hand towards the camera but otherwise seeming for all intents and purposes to be rather calm for the most part. ]

So. Guess you could say I have a question for you all.

[ He gestures back towards the window nearby; moreso towards the sky ]

Since the first of the month is coming up soon and i've heard these moons affect people a certain way, is there any advice that could be given for dealing with the effects that happen? I would quite appreciate it if any of you would be willing to share any details of your experiences so I know what to expect.

[ His smile falters a touch here, but nonetheless seems to remain in place as he let off a soft hum. Normally Karma wouldn't have asked so openly but maybe he was concerned about what was going to happen in a couple days and he did like being prepared.

Sure Cloud had told him a little but he needed a bit more to go off of. ]


Especially seeing as it would be my first time and it's likely to be unsettling in some form or another.

Well, it makes you more likely to do things you wouldn't normally do. But it's not like it forces you, it just gets so unbearable.

[He maybe teasing, but Lapis is serious.]

Staying inside helps, if you have a way to satisfy yourself that is.

For Iris it is.

[Oh yeah... Chroma.]

About the only thing to do in that case, if you are an Iris is either have someone you trust around who can do moonlacing of an um... Acceptable kind, or stock up? I never had to do that, I don't eat so I don't really spend my Chroma on things humans need.

Ha ha ha.

[Lapis knows sarcasm, or at least the art of being a little shit, so her laugh is flat. But she does smile back, because why not.]

I'm a Gem, an alien to anyone from Earth. And I guess an alien here too.
riptidequeen: (Thoughtful)

[She's got to think about that, because she honestly doesn't know how old the oldest Gem is. All she knows is White Diamond has been around forever.]

Well, I'm well over five thousand years old. But there are Gems much much much older than me.

Th-thank you?

[She's pretty sure that's what you say when someone says you don't look your age.]

Oh, as long as our Gem is intact we're good, since our physical form is simply a projection.
riptidequeen: (Reading)

Yep, I know a Pearl and an Amethyst. Oh, and there are more than one of each, of course.

[Hahahaha, oh dear.]

Pearl is, well. A bit stuffy and stuck up? But I guess she's okay, and Amethyst is fun and goofy and probably way better adapted to Earth life than any other Gem I know.
riptidequeen: (What)

[personal profile] riptidequeen 2020-04-09 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He's basically right, although some traits are universal among some types of Gems.]

Oh, right. I'm Lapis Lazuli.
riptidequeen: (Huh?)

[personal profile] riptidequeen 2020-04-10 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it does?

[He wouldn't be the first who thought she was a Sapphire around here, and he probably won't be the last.]

My Gem, my name. Same thing. It's nice to meet you, Karma.
