[sarcaskick]

It's also a great way to pick up diseases and smell like shit all day.

[ ... ]

Do blue people get sick? I guess I don't actually know that, but you're definitely going to reek.

[riptidequeen]

I can get sick, but it can't kill me.

[They can get food poisoning, so who knows what else Gems can get.]

And I have access to a shower, bathing isn't something foreign to me, you know.

[As she talks though, she's standing up and brushing her hands off on her pants. Since that'll make having a conversation easier for all parties.]

[trenchdoting]

Glad to hear it, pal! [He says with a soft smile. At least that much between them seems mutual.]

Anything else you wanna talk about? Life, hobbies, things to do for fun?

[sarcaskick]

I don't know what is and isn't foreign to you, actually. Seems like every time I assume something's common knowledge, I end up having to explain it to someone.

[A wistful sigh, his fingertip touching his chin.]

It's really so hard, being me.

[riptidequeen]

Life... [Yeah let's not talk about her life, her life sucks. Or sucked up to a point. She coughs and clears her throat.]

Hobbies, well... Making art is one, that you know of, and um. I like to read. [Let us not bring up the previous books.] Oh, and there is a show from home I enjoy watching!

[riptidequeen]

A lot of folks don't know much about me, actually. [And maybe it bugs her a little when she lets things slip out of the whole liking a person and trusting them.]

And woe, must be hard living your life.

[sarcaskick]

It really is! I couldn't even finish my lunch today, I was so stressed out.

Do you know what lunch is.

[riptidequeen]

It's a midday meal that humans have.

[Come on, Mercury, she's not that out of touch.]

[sarcaskick]

[How is he supposed to know!!]

Well, what do you know? You'll blend right in in no time. Other than, you know. The whole blue thing.

... Do you eat?

[riptidequeen]

[Well, he could learn if he wasn't so Mercury about things!]

I don't need to eat, I could if I felt like it.

[But she doesn't, so she doesn't. Eat.]

[trenchdoting]

[He's sure it would be great to hear her life story sometime!

He awkwardly looks down as she mentions reading, because, sorry, that memory is still fresh! Maybe eventually he'll be able to think of Lapis reading without specifically thinking of her reading one of those books.

So he clings to the last subject.]

Oh yeah? What show's that? [He's always curious if other worlds get the same channels.]

[sarcaskick]

[He's learning by asking obnoxiously!]

... Seriously? So what do you run off of, then? Please tell me it's not garbage.

[riptidequeen]

[Ahahaha.

Lapis does perk up at Gumshoe asking about the show, Camp Pining Hearts is something of a thing for her.]

It's called Camp Pining Hearts, it about these campers and their daily struggles at camp and the Color War between the various campers and...

[She'll keep going if she's not interrupted, describing the teen soap opera as best as she can without spoiling anything.]

[riptidequeen]

Human souls.

[She gives that answer with the most deadpan expression, even though it's not the truth.]

[sarcaskick]

Oh, yeah? I ought to be safe, then. Common opinion seems to be that mine's kind of unappetizing.

["Rotten", is the word, or "toxic".]

[riptidequeen]

... [Lapis can't help but laugh.] I wasn't serious, and it's magic.

[Seriously they don't really go into detail what Gems run on or are made from. But hey they do get tired and need to rest so they do have a weakness.]

[sarcaskick]

Oh, trust me, I wasn't taking you seriously. If I actually thought you might try that, we'd be having a very different kind of talk.

[The kind that he's more familiar with, to be honest.]

[riptidequeen]

I'm not really big on fighting, so I doubt you'd have fun with that kind of talk.

[She's just guessing that's what he means by a different kind of talk, that and she hasn't invested in a bottle or jug of water to carry with her just in case things get hairy. And she can't summon her wings.]

[sarcaskick]

[Good news, she's right! It's... not hard to figure, really. He isn't difficult to read.]

I can have fun with all sorts of things. I'd find a way.

[riptidequeen]

[Yeah she's kind of getting what he's about. Kind of.]

Oh? I'm kind of curious what ways you'd find to have fun with someone like me.

[sarcaskick]

See, because it's you, I'm going to assume you didn't mean for that to sound the way it sounded to me.

[riptidequeen]

Hey if you take what I say the wrong way. [She just shrugs, no skin off her nose if he gives a real answer or not.]

[sarcaskick]

... Well the kneejerk reaction was "sex thing", but besides that I don't know what you do outside of digging through trash for "art supplies".

That, and being sarcastic, which I can at least respect.

[riptidequeen]

[Pffft, she should have expected sex thing. But it still makes her laugh a little.]

I read, either books or things on the device, and watch the fish in Caihong. And it's a good way to keep the wrong kinds of people away.

[sarcaskick]

... You watch fish? Don't they just kind of... you know. Swim?

[???]
