[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?

[???]

[riptidequeen]

Yes. It's relaxing.

[Not everything has to be about excitement, Mercury.]

[sarcaskick]

[ b u l l s h i t ]

What do you do when you want to get wild? Watch paint dry?

[riptidequeen]

Well, the last time I got wild I dropped a barn on one of the leaders of my people.

[Lapis is very much the stay at home and read types of people.]

[sarcaskick]

... Okay, see, that? That sounds like a story worth hearing.

[riptidequeen]

Not really. I was just helping my friends, and if I was going to be treated like a traitor I might as well be one for real, you know?

[sarcaskick]

... Were you a traitor before that?

[riptidequeen]

No, only mistaken for one.

[She sounds bitter, it's a touchy subject for her.]

[sarcaskick]

[It's... a point of interest for him, as someone who has basically come to terms with the fact that he'd be a traitor if his old boss showed up and tried to bring him in line again.]

How'd it feel? Dropping the barn on them, I mean.

[riptidequeen]

[Mostly it's the whole being mistaken for a Crystal Gem and being shoved in a mirror that's a touchy subject. The whole barn thing was, well, of her own choosing.]

I was helping out my friends, so good I guess? It wasn't really the time to be focused on feelings and such.

[sarcaskick]

... Fair enough.

[W E L P that's as close to delving into talking about feelings that Mercury wants to get, so--]

If I paid you enough, could you drop a barn on someone else?

[riptidequeen]

... Depends. I'd also have to find a barn no one was using to drop on whoever it is.

[Not that Lapis needs money, but she can humour Mercury for the time being.]

[sarcaskick]

[He doesn't seriously have anyone here to drop a barn on. He's just having fun.]

Oh, I don't care if it's being used. All the animals would just make it hurt more because it'd be heavier, right?

[riptidequeen]

I'm not going to lift a barn full of living things just to drop on someone.

[She has standards!]

[sarcaskick]

So if everything in the barn is dead already, then it's okay?

[riptidequeen]

Please don't go killing a barnful of animals or people.

[Joking or not, a line is being drawn.]

[sarcaskick]

Boo. You're no fun.

[Toeing lines is what he does best, in spite of his lack of actual toes.]

[riptidequeen]

Sorry I don't find murder fun.

[sarcaskick]

You just haven't found the right murder for you!

[riptidequeen]

[Know what, this stopped being funny so she's just going to go back to digging in the trash.]

[sarcaskick]

[ A good person would apologize for making her uncomfortable.

A somewhat decent person would acknowledge that they made a blunder and leave her be.




Mercury, though. ]

Was that too much? We can start at jaywalking and work up from there.
