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?

Nice to meet you as well, Lapis. You can call me Ren.

[Because apparently Rise got dibs on Lie.]

[riptidequeen]

Okay then, Ren.

[Haha, a rhyme. But did she do it on purpose?]

[sleepinglotus]

[Cute.

He doesn't laugh, but there's a small smile.]

Did you find a place to settle in yet?

[riptidequeen]

Not yet? I'm still kind of looking, and really I've got no reason to hurry.

[She doesn't need to eat or sleep after all.]

[sleepinglotus]

[Well he doesn't know that! He just knows that she's... blue.]

I think there's still some single bedroom apartments available in my building.

[riptidequeen]

[Dah bah dee dahbu die She'd tell if asked.]

Oh, I'll have to check that out then. Thank you.

[sleepinglotus]

[I love you

He might just have to. He usually tries not to bring up these sorts of things but he's also really curious.]

No problem.

[... yup. Okay. Just gonna. Broach this subject with all the subtlety of Ruby's scythe.]

I've never seen someone with blue skin before.

[Nailed it.]

[riptidequeen]

[One would think that by now she'd be used to people stating such things.]

And now you have. Congrats?

[sleepinglotus]

Okay, but... why?

[Smooth, Ren. Smooth.

[riptidequeen]

But why... what?

[Why is she blue? Why congrats for finally meeting a blue person?]

[sleepinglotus]

[Maaaaybe that wasn't the best way to put it.]

I mean... what are you?

[riptidequeen]

[Sometimes direct is the best way, Ren.]

Oh, I'm a Gem.

[Lapis Lazuli being a type of gemstone, kind of.]

[sleepinglotus]

[Do regular gems even exist in Remnant? They must given that Ruby is named. Well. Ruby.

Just going to go with the assumption that yes, they do.

Does make one question would personified Dust would look like, though.]

Ah. Hence the name. Sorry, that should have been obvious.

[riptidequeen]

[Don't mind Lapis laughing a bit at his reply.]

Don't apologize, it seems that no one here knows or have heard of Gems before.

[So a pity that Lapis is the example of the race you all get.]

[sleepinglotus]

That's a common issue here, what with everyone being from so many different worlds. Obviously everyone from my world knows about Grimm, Huntsmen, Aura and Semblance but beyond our group that's something we've had to explain quite a few times.

[Some more than others, given that Ren got here not that long ago himself.]

[riptidequeen]

Heh, I'd ask because I have a feeling some of those words mean different things. [Like she has an idea what a Huntsmen is and she knows what Auras are, but who knows with Ren's world!

But I also feel like an explanation would be too long and maybe dull.

[sleepinglotus]

[Remnant does do things differently.]

I could try not to make it dull, but no promises on that.

[riptidequeen]

[So differently.]

It's okay, how about if something comes up I don't understand I just ask when it happens?

[That just seems like the better and simpler solution to her.]

[sleepinglotus]

That works for me.

[riptidequeen]

[She'll give the device a thumbs up then, since what else is there to say... Oh, wait.]

Do you have anything else you want to ask me?

[sleepinglotus]

Mn. Nothing I can think of right now. I hope you find a comfortable place soon.
