Meep Morps [video]

[riptidequeen]

[It's a video! Of a somewhat messy living area, mostly because Lapis has turned anything she doesn't need or want, into fuel for art. Which is what she's got the device filming for, as the main focus is something under a sheet (that honestly has seen better days).

Of course, the owner of the device shows her face and Lapis gives a smile and a wave.]

Hello again, everyone. I've been busy with getting used to this place and finding things to do. [That isn't sex-related.] So I thought I'd get back into mee-- [Oh wait, no one here will get it.] Art. I used to do art back home.

[And she's going to go and uncover that thing she has the device focused on finally showing off... Trash art, kind of cobbled together out of various things she could have found around. So yes, there are some busted sex toys in there. What it is supposed to be? Up to the viewer, it's abstract!]

I call this "A week on Lunatia" since it took me that long to gather everything in it. [It's horrifying to think of how she got the stuff, maybe.] I guess I'm wondering if anyone else around here does art? Or something else like it.

video!

[Oh hey, it's this guy again!]

Um, so this is....Uh. I-I mean. It's very...

[There's a whole facial journey going on over here. No, he does not get it. No, he doesn't want to admit he doesn't get it.]

I mean, it's modern. Very, uh, modern.

[Please save him. He is not an Art Person.]

[riptidequeen]

[Oh hey, that guy!]

... Heh, it's okay if you don't get it or aren't into art, you know?

[dashhole]

[He scoffs. Pft!]

I'm into art. Sorta.

[Scout scratches the back of his neck, clearing his throat awkwardly.]

So, uh. What does it mean?

[riptidequeen]

[Oh Scout, you sweet child.]

Mmhmm.

And it doesn't really mean much of anything. It's just about a week on this planet, I guess.

[dashhole]

Huh.

[He is twenty! Seven!!

Not that he can hear you think that. He tilts his head to one side and squints.]

Izzat a dildo?

[And then tilts it almost horizontally to the other side.]

....Is that multiple dildos?

[riptidequeen]

[She's thousands of years older than that!

But again, no mind readers here.]

Oh um... I didn't know what they were before I made it.

[Embarrassed over here.]

[dashhole]

Okay, that's fair.

Heh. Yeah, that sounds like a week here all right.

[riptidequeen]

Yeah. Or more than a week.

At least my next piece won't be as uh... Explicit? [No sex toys in it, at least.]

[dashhole]

Nah, do what ya want. What's that thing Spy always says? Art's meant to, uh, incite or somethin'?

So offending people's good. Or whatever.

2/2

[dashhole]

Where'd you even get alla those?

[riptidequeen]

It's mostly got people worried about me touching them and...

In the trash, of course. [Free supplies! Why pay money when she can dumpster dive?]

[dashhole]

Yeah, that makes sense. [They are a little....broken.] And I guess you know what people do with those now.

...Can you even get sick?

[riptidequeen]

I can get sick from some things, but it won't kill me.

And yes, [She makes a face.] I do know now.

[dashhole]

You do know I gotta ask now, right? About what can make a--a gem sick.

...Like, moss? [Moss grows on rocks, right?]

[riptidequeen]

I'd be worried about any Gem who stayed still enough for moss to grow on them.

[Seriously?]

And I've heard that a friend got sick from food, and I guess if a poisoned creature bit me I'd get sick-ish? I've never actually gotten sick.

[dashhole]

[Well, you never know, maybe they got trapped in a small, confined space for thousands of years or something.]

Wait, you guys eat?

[riptidequeen]

We can, if we want to. Don't need to though.

[dashhole]

Huh.

That'd save me a lotta Chroma, once in a blue moon. [Ba-dum-tish.]

Don't know if I'd wanna give it up for good, though.

[riptidequeen]

[Pfft.]

If you're a normal human? I wouldn't suggest that you do it, you need to eat after all.

[dashhole]

There's worse ways to go. Not that I want to experience any of 'em.

[dashhole]

I'm more of a superhero, though.

[More like super DOOFUS.]

[riptidequeen]

Uh... huh.

[More like a super NEEEERD.]

[dashhole]

What, you don't believe me?

[riptidequeen]

You got it.

[Sorry Scout, you're about as super as Lapis is not blue.]

1/2

[dashhole]

[He snorts, insulted.]

Okay, you wait right there.

[And then he hangs up.

And calls back about two minutes later. He's outside now, and the camera's pointing across the street at one of the apartment buildings in the second district. He fiddles with the angle a little bit, balancing the device just so, and then points at the building.]

Y'see that? Watch.
