 [it's about a DAY after Rey and Keith's message goes up that Peridot's patience wears out. she may no longer be a Homeworld gem and she is aware that there were multiple objectives in this mission, but the Deemers are not as important to her as, say, THE CONTINUED SAFETY OF THIS MISERABLE PLANET.

THAT THEY HAPPEN TO STILL BE ON.

it's time for enlightenment, friends. courtesy of this lime green drama queen.]

I realize that these "Deemers" you're all so focused on are a threat that shouldn't be ignored, but may I remind you of the much bigger threat? As in the fact that this planet may actually collapse in on itself if we don't do something about the mining? As someone who has been stuck on a planet that came this close to being destroyed by a similar situation [well not exactly, but she'll exaggerate a bit for effect], I don't want to repeat that. Ever.

[she waves a hand in a shooing motion condescendingly] So while you all go out and chase down... brain worms or whatever they are, I'm going to orchestrate the destruction of the remainder of the mining efforts, and anyone who wants to take care of a real threat can join me before it's too late. It may go against everything I know as a kindergartner, but as a Crystal Gem, I can't let a planet be destroyed just for its resources, even if it's an objectively terrible planet.

Especially while I'm still living on it.

That is all.

You certainly sound like a kindergartener.

1/4

[slapfight]

Thank you. I was actually one of the best on-

2/4

[slapfight]

[....]

3/4

[slapfight]

[....!!!!!]

DONE

[slapfight]

I AM NOT THAT KIND OF KINDERGARTNER!!

[pummelling]

Could've fooled me.

[ur welcome peri]

Anyway. There's nothing wrong with multitasking, right?

[slapfight]

Aside from the objective that might get us all killed by a full planet collapse not having your full attention?

[pummelling]

I'm not proposing we blow stuff up willy-nilly. A controlled explosion could work.

[dont fuckin let him blow stuff up]

[slapfight]

You mean in the refinery itself? That might be the most efficient way of going about it.

[pummelling]

Now you're thinking with your head. I say we have a team destroy all of it, and have everyone else take on the Deemers. That way we're covering all our bases.

[slapfight]

Yes, yes! Exactly that. We have a team of brutes and tech-minded individuals take out the equipment, while the soldiers take out the Deemers. It's brilliant!

[pummelling]

See? You should listen to me more often.

Now we've just gotta pick who's going for which team. Not it for the equipment.

[slapfight]

Obviously the technicians should be responsible for the equipment. We will need someone to destroy the refinery... It shouldn't take long, assuming someone has access to explosives.

[pummelling]

Hm.

You just gave me a great idea.

[jin please no]

[slapfight]

[jin please yes]

Well, why are you telling me about it? Go do it!

[pummelling]

Peridot, right?

Don't worry, we'll have this taken care of before your naptime.
