Video | UN: oceangem

[the local blue woman is confused by boy bands and well, she has to let the world know.]

I... Don't get the appeal of this, [Vague hand gesturing!] Boy band thing.

And I like music. So can anyone explain why this is so crazy?

[Finally someone says it, Lapis sound enthusiastic when she replies.]

I know! I didn't think any music could be bad but this is just. Horrible.

The tunes are catchy, but the lyrics are just so ridiculous. My sister used to listen to boy bands growing up and I'm almost sure it wasn't as bad as this, though she did like this one song that talked about how beautiful this girl was, even though she was shy and insecure.

I guess that's not a bad message, but it was so saccharine.

Your sister had weird tastes then.

And a message can be good, but how it's... You know, delivered matters too?

It was pretty typical taste for a girl her age at that time, even if the song actually had the lyric 'The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed'.

Yes, definitely. I'd recommend buying some earplugs. They've been pretty helpful lately.

... What does that even mean?

[Malcolm, you're talking to someone who had no adolescence.]

I could just have no ears instead, it's cheaper.

I don't know? He really likes how the girl flips her hair?

[ He wishes he hadn't had an adolescence. ]

Is it? It seems like getting new ears or having them reattached might be kind of costly.

That sounds stupid.

[Lapis, lady of the bluntness.]

Oh um, I can shapeshift so it's not a problem.

It is stupid.

[ He told Ainsley so and she hit him. ]

Really? What can you shapeshift into?

Anything, I don't do it much though... Or at all.

[That's more an Amethyst thing. Just not going to mention the whole shifting to have certain things.]

That's amazing. Why don't you do it very much?

[ He imagines it's probably pretty useful. ]

I just don't see a reason to do it much.

[She stays blue too, so it's not that useful.]

So you do it more out of necessity, not because you want to or because you think it's fun?

For me, yeah basically. Other Gems might do it for fun or a want to do it though.

Other Gems?

Yes, other Gems. Although I'm the only one here, so far.

Gems like.. diamonds? Emeralds?

Yes and yes.

I'm Lapis Lazuli, by the way.

I'm Malcolm Bright.

... So you mean to say that you are the gem?

[ Give him a minute. He'll get there. ]

A pleasure, Malcolm.

[Oh boy, she should be used to it.]

Well, I am a Lapis Lazuli yes.

Like the living personification of it? Wow.

I wouldn't put it like that, there are other Lapis Lazulis around and they have their own personalities and such.

So, like. I'm just one of many Gems.

So it's more like a species?

Where are you from?

Yes, it is.

And I'm from Homeworld, originally, but I live... Well lived on Earth before I ended up here.

So you've been to Earth, at least? It must be a different version than mine because I don't think I've ever met a gemstone before.

[Hahaha, been to Earth. That's funny, don't mind her slight laugh at that before answering him.]

It's not like we Gems are very uh... Secretive with what we are, so yeah probably different Earths.
