[If that train ride was any indication, the dangers noted in their dossiers were absolutely real. Seeing so many of the Qorral armed only confirmed the necessity for more coordination than they'd had on the previous mission.

Being the control freak police officer that he was, Hijikata wouldn't waste any time setting something up.]

This mission needs coordination, there's a lot of 'bad land' between us and the Deemers. [Could they hire locals to escort them? Maybe. At a price that was sure to gouge their pockets.]

We'll need to travel in groups. Each one should have several who can fight, and at least one who can negotiate. No one goes alone.

I'll organize them if necessary, but you guys can use this to find your own too. [He doesn't want to hold everyone's damn hands. Just most of them? He'll step in if he deems it necessary.]

So reply with the following information:

1) Name
2) Skill Set
3) Availability
4) Supplies in Possession
5) Supplies Needed / Special Accommodations

How old are you? [Kindergartner??? No. No five year olds on any expeditions please. He's not even going to ask about anything else until convinced that she's not five.]

[slapfight]

[ugh why does she have to justify her age!!!]

It's difficult to put into Earth time, but I would say somewhere around six hundred years. Give or take.

...Why?

[mayora13]

...and that makes you a kindergartner?

How. [He's accustomed to aliens having different lifespans and expectations, but if Peridot was that far behind in development, then they shouldn't be going on any expeditions.

LET THE JUSTIFICATION CONTINUE sorry Peridot]

[slapfight]

[SIGH]

What does that word mean to you?

[BECAUSE IT DOES MEAN THAT TO HER. and the only reason she's pausing in her indignant rage to question it is because humans shouldn't know what that word is in her context.]

[mayora13]

[Well, thanks for putting it on pause.]

It's a kid in their first year of school. Usually five years old. [Isn't that what it means to everyone? Geez Hijikata for a guy from a canon with aliens you're not being very open minded...]

[slapfight]

[can facepalms be transmitted telepathically?]

How did humans even get that from- UGH! It's a gem who maintains and controls the kindergartens where we make other gems.

[mayora13]

[Only if eyes squinted in confusion can be.]

An actual garden? For children?

So you're a babysitter.

[slapfight]

What? No! I'm a supervisor! A technician! Without Peridots other gems don't even get made. Ugh! Why are humans always so difficult?!
