video; un: peridot

[runningjoke]

[The video turns on, and this individual here is… very green. Neon green, even. And with a stone embedded in her forehead, very similarly to another person who posted once before. However, unlike Pearl, Peridot's voice is less melodic, and more… nasally. She doesn't sound happy, either.]

Hello humans.

[Sigh.]

And whatever else is here.

It seems somehow, ALASTAIR has sent me something from my home world. If only they could spend their time on sending me back instead of bringing things here I don't need.

[And with that, Peridot looks off screen, reaches for something, and places a weird orb with legs out in front of the video feed she's set up. It takes a few steps to settle itself, and then remains still again.]

This is a flask robonoid. It's purpose is … useless here. It's really just useless.

The only reason I'm showing it to any of you at all is so that if you see it around, it isn't a threat. I should just destroy it so that it doesn't get in the way, but …

[She kind of wants it around. It reminds her of a simpler time, when she wasn't stuck on a foreign planet. Instead, she just flicks at the Robonoid with a "finger" of hers, and a pool of liquid inside of it splashes around before it finds equilibrium again.]

… Just let it walk around.

I don't like green..........

Turn blue!!!

[runningjoke]

You first.

[adoube]

I could if I froze or died or maybe both.

[runningjoke]

[This human sounds particularly dumb...]

Then don't ask someone to do the same.

[adoube]

Wouldn't life be m u c h better if you were blue?

I think you must want to be.

[runningjoke]

I think my life would be much better if YOU were blue.

[adoube]

What sort of life do 'gems' have? (｢`･ω･)｢ ヾ(´▽｀*;)ゝ”

[runningjoke]

I don't even know where to begin with that question.

What are those symbols you've posted after the question mark?

[adoube]

They're faces! Like children draw, if you give them chalk. They're cute, aren't they? Ψ(　ﾟ∀ﾟ)Ψ (●´∀｀●)

You just have to make sure they're two, so they're not lonely.

[runningjoke]

... They look weird. I don't like them.

[adoube]

What do y o u know? You're not even blue.

[runningjoke]

And neither are you, so shut up about being blue!! Blue isn't even a nice color!! Green and yellow are better!

[adoube]

The sky isn't green or yellow...................

[runningjoke]

So?

[adoube]

The sky is the prettiest thing. Of course its colour is the best.

[runningjoke]

I'm from another planet. I've seen stars and other planets. Your sky is hardly the most impressive thing I've seen.

[adoube]

You don't know my sky.

I'll think about showing you one day. Maybe you'll turn b l u e after.

[runningjoke]

Look.

I can't turn blue. That's now how this works. I'm a Peridot. I'm green. Lapis Lazuli is blue. Jaspers are orange. Amethysts are purple.

That's just how it is.

[adoube]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

Who's white-white?

[runningjoke]

... Why does it matter?

[adoube]

I'm white too!!

[runningjoke]

Pearl is white-ish.

You should talk to her. You sound like you have a lot in common.

[adoube]

"P e a r l." That's in the ocean, isn't it?

Round?

[runningjoke]

Uh, yeah.

[adoube]

Are 'pearls' pretty? Are you meant to be pretty?
