Audio then Video | UN: oceangem

[riptidequeen]

[SO, she got that whole sex education thing done and dusted. Now she's trying to figure out the device a bit more so at first it's audio.]

Okay so it's like this, and oh!

[Visuals now! Showing anyone who is watching this a woman who is. Well. Blue, literally she's the colour blue. She mutters under her breath something that sounds like "Oh like the video call" before turning her full attention to the device.

Now to ask an important question, especially after what things she has seen so far.]

... Is sex really that important here?

[kingfuckboy]

Yeah, maybe I should have been more creative. I'm going to guess your name isn't oceangem. Are you a mermaid or something?

[ It wouldn't be the weirdest thing he's encountered here. ]

[riptidequeen]

Mermaid? ... No, I'm a Gem. Lapis Lazuli to be exact.

[kingfuckboy]

A... gem.

Oh. ... Cool, I think.

[ He's talked to an actual country before.]

I've never met a Gem before. I'm just a regular human.

[ Words he never thought he'd say. ]

[riptidequeen]

[He's the first person that hasn't asked her what she means by it, so she's let out a relieved sigh at him not asking.]

I've noticed. Erm, that is to say, I've not met too many normal humans, but you sound normal?

[kingfuckboy]

I mean, I don't have any cool superpowers. And I'm not a Gem or something.

So...I mean, I'm normal compared to that.

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

[riptidequeen]

Nothing wrong with not having powers or anything like that.

Normal can be good.

[kingfuckboy]

Hey, I totally agree. I like being normal. There's a lot of not normal here, though. Do you like it here?

[riptidequeen]

Ah, I'm kind of new here so I'm not quite used to everything here.

[kingfuckboy]

You'll get used to it. It's pretty exciting here.

[riptidequeen]

Oh boy... And here I thought excitement would stop if I wasn't at home.

[kingfuckboy]

Excitement's not all bad. It's easy to keep from getting bored.

[riptidequeen]

My life has been a bit too much excitement, a break would have been nice.

[kingfuckboy]

Oh. Excitement magnet, huh?

Well, I think it's nice here that you kind of have to find the fun, and it doesn't always just find you.

[riptidequeen]

More like a badness magnet.

And oh, finding fun is okay. It's trouble I'd prefer to avoid.

[kingfuckboy]

Oh. That's bad, then. I don't know if that's a big worry here, though.

[riptidequeen]

Hm, good to know then. I guess.
