“I’m just as important as you!”
I looooooved the new episode and I love the little sad and angry little diamond. first thing that came to my mind was how horrible she must feel with all these big and impressive murals around. she really didn’t have an easy start …

Like this?? All dramatic and stuff?
I can’t access RPThreadtracker right now :(
“Do you read these things for fun?” Agate asked. “This sounds like stuff Peridots would like.” Agate closed the heavy book with a flip, effectively losing the page it was open on. “And I find it hard to believe you desire privacy. If you didn’t want me in your room, why was the lock so easy to pick?” She turned to him and winked, knowing full well how much he despised her advantages, regardless of the lack of genuine interest.
She took a step back and shrugged. “Alright, alright.” She conceded. “Can you at least point me in the right direction? I am having a hard time trying to figure out what makes this planet so… special. I’ve conquered a thousand worlds with just as much life as this one. What made those hippies take a special interest Here?”
taken by surprise when asked so suddenly, he raises a brow. “I wouldn’t call it fun. I just took it up in effort to understand this planet a little better.”
he explains briefly, before frowning from how she broke into his room. “…and a locked door should usually be enough to tell you to keep out.” honestly, he might as well just leave his door open if others were going to stroll through it anyway.
luckily for the agate though, he doesn’t stay irritated for long. rather, black star found himself stuck - not sure on how to respond to her confusion. “I…well – I’m not really the best gem to answer this. this planet isn’t exactly my favorite either…”
putting a hand on his chin, the gem wondered off in his thoughts for a bit. “…but I suppose I can tell you this. learning all the facts won’t be enough to understand this planet. trust me – I’ve tried.”
Agate groaned. “Then what am I supposed to do?” When working under Yellow Diamond, facts were all that was necessary. Study your prey and you can more thoroughly enjoy the hunt. And when you’ve hunted them to extinction, you plant your Diamond’s flag and call in the Peridots to start some kindergartens.
It was much easier to hunt than to coexist.
Agate stepped out in front of the hole with her arms up and her hands empty.
“I just want to help.” She tried to keep her voice soft and caring. She was used to barking orders, not gently talking wounded gems out of a dark hole.
The purple gem had his arms wrapped around him. His form was staticy, flickering like a picture on a broken screen. She was surprised he was able to speak at all. Most gems at this point can typically only speak in tongues or emit garbled screams. His hair was in his face covering his eyes. She had no idea where his gem was.
“Hey, solider.” She didn’t know what to call him. He didn’t look any gem she recognized. Is there a new type of gem recently found? A voice in the back of her mind whispered it’s doubts. “I’m not a doctor, by any means. But I know how to put a quick patch on most wounds. Can you show me where you’re hurt?”
He was such an odd color. Not an off color, but odd. Like a light Amethyst. But Amethyst aren’t typically male. And he’s way too small. Overcooked? Probably not.
She was searching him for his gem as she slowly closed the distance between them.
His form flickered again and she caught a glimpse of a purple gem in his eye socket. She paused. She didn’t recognize the cut. “Probably cause there’s a huge fucking chunk missing, ya idiot.” She thought, but she wasn’t sure.
“I’m going to touch you. Don’t freak out.” Slowly, she reached out her hand. Her fingertips lightly touched his forehead and brushed his hair from his gem. She stared into it for a long minute. Something was off.
“Can you scoot closer into the light? I need to see how deep the crack is.” That was only a half truth. She could fix it without knowing the full extent of the damage, but there was something reflecting in his gem, and it needed a closer look.
Chalcedony couldn’t help but try to press himself a little closer to the wall as the Agate got closer. He just…wasn’t used to other gems helping him. He was used to the opposite actually… The little thing watched her, quiet and shaking. His mind was screaming, expecting her to go back on what she said and hurt him.
However….eventually he spoke. It was choppy, often interrupted by static.
“…..Not….soLDIEr….I…..chalcEDony……SERvant…..Like peaRLS…..” His voice was barely a whisper, and the static made it hard to understand, but what was audible was enough to understand what he was trying to tell her. He didn’t feel it was right for her to address him as something he wasn’t, especially when he was below that rank.
The small gem let out a slight whimper when he was touched and his hair was brushed away, getting rid of what little protection he had for his gem. It didn’t help when she asked him to go closer to the light, away from the tiny bit of safety that the exit hole gave. However, after a bit of hesitation, he shakily moved closer to her and into the light, closing his eye tightly as if he was expecting her to shatter him.
Agate had seen many battlefields and pulled many battered soldiers out of the fray. She’d seen everything from missing limbs to gem shards. But she’d never seen anything like what she saw reflected in Chalcedony’s gem. She was no Peridot, had never helped in a Kindergarten, but something about it wasn’t... natural. “What the hell happened to you?” She thought, her stomach lurching and her heart breaking in half.
“Alright, Chalcedony, I want you to hold still. I’m going to put something that’ll help on your Gem.” She reached into her Gem and pulled out a vial full of a clear liquid. “It’s healing water. It wont hurt.” She poured the entire vial into the crack. She watched as the magic crystallized and fill the void. But it stopped short. The crack was too deep. There wasn’t enough to finish the job. “Fuck.” Her nose twitched as she struggled not to show her disappointment.
“Well, looks like we’re going on a trip. How you feeling? Can you walk?”
The purpose of a Lighthouse is literally to tell boats “Stay away! There are dangerous rocks here!”
So the fact that the Crystal Gems live under a Lighthouse
Never fails to make me laugh.
Now that Lapis is in Space, does Peri still watch cph? Maybe with Amethist by her side?
Agate first met Pearl on The Battlefield. They were on opposite sides, but Pearl’s beauty and grace (not to mention her appetite for blood) mesmerized Agate. Agate was so enchanted by her that when she was poofed she regenerated with a dress instead of the functional battle gear that fighting type gems wear. (This did not please The Diamonds btw).
To date, Agate has yet to truly meet Pearl. Everything she knows of her is through official reports and rumors. Both of which were skewed to make the Rebels look terrible. But somehow it fueled Agate’s attraction.
Bottom line:
Agate is a nutcase. She has an unhealthy obsession over a Gem she’s never met. Yes, I was aware of this when developing her. Flaws make characters interesting.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
~💧~ Lapis curled up onto the living room couch her arm up fingers resting through her hair. A nice cozy dark blue and green fleece blanket hung over her shoulders. She rested her other arm down by near her chin curled up in a fetal position on her side facing the back of the couch. As usual her legs were inched up as well near her rear, her blanket blowing in the air of the half open windows, In that position under the blanket folding over her ankles, her feet barely peeked out one foot covering the other her toes touching. As usual her feet were quite visible in a cave cress of her soft blanket. She was snoring very loudly! bellowing snores. Well, looks like she is ready to get in a post seasonal nap before things got even more crazy.
The Agate watched the blue gem sleep. Personally, she could never let her guard down enough to go into a trance the way these Earth gems could. She was a million light years from home on a planet currently being targeted by THE DIAMONDS. Enemies could be outside their door at any minute and these gems choose to “sleep”?!
She studied the Lapis’ features. Even in sleep it seemed the other gem could not find peace.
Also the snoring would be the death of them both.
Have some Pearls (and a Peridot)
