It Came from Thin Air! (And It brought pizza.) [Closed]

[diediediediediedie]

[Peridot, as she has to tell herself a lot, can handle being cooped up with Rose Quartz and Greg and...yes, even the Steven. But why does everything have to be so messy?! Fortunately, the water from the metal dispenser in the food storage seems to be adequate for removing the "raspberry preserves" she dropped all over the floor while examining the contents of the fridge.

What a mess. She can't seem to clean the preserves off her without getting it all over something else, and she can't get them off everything else without it sticking right back onto her again. But she can't let some earth object get the better of a Gem, not when there's a mystery of the refilling fridge to solve. She'll remain as focused on this task for as long as it takes...]

Yes! Well, no...it's complicated! The point is that I need to be under my best behavior so I can get my stuff back, and abandoning a mess in the food preparation area does NOT fall under that category!

[goddamngrenades]

...They're holding your shit hostage so you'll behave? What are you, twelve?

[diediediediediedie]

I may have made what some might call a...miscalculation. It was an error in judgement that I am now expected to rectify and most importantly it's none of your business.

[goddamngrenades]

Well if you're expecting a ride on the York Express I might have to make it my business. I don't pop just anyone around the city on purpose.

[diediediediediedie]

Ugh! I made a mistake, I said I was sorry and...What's a York Express?

[goddamngrenades]

...Me. The York Express is me. I'm York. Teleporting is the Express- you...really don't know a lot, do you?

[diediediediediedie]

...I don't really know anything without my equipment. Though it might help if you humans stopped talking in riddles...

[goddamngrenades]

To us it's all pretty much common knowledge. Pop culture is universal. Seriously, though, how do you not know anything without your equipment. You got a brain, right? Overdependance on tech is a thing but- you're not used to humans, are you?

[diediediediediedie]

I have never encountered your "exploding culture" before I came to Earth, no. And if I had known it would be such a hassle I never would have taken the assignment in the first place!

[goddamngrenades]

No- no. Pop culture. Pop as in popular. Not exploding.

[diediediediediedie]

...Oh?

[Yeah, she has no idea what to do with that information.]

[goddamngrenades]

Different kinds of pop. And then there's Pop as in soda, a drink. [ Educating aliens on american terminology, aw yeah. ]

[diediediediediedie]

[She's just growing more and more confused.]

Gems do not drink. Or eat. so your soda culture still means little to me.

[goddamngrenades]

...How do you get energy, then? Photosynthesis?

[diediediediediedie]

We're hardly plants. Everything we need is generated from within our Gems. Far more efficient than consuming substances your body barely uses.

[goddamngrenades]

...so you're magic holographic self powering space rocks.

[diediediediediedie]

In laymans terms...yes. I don't see what's so confusing about it.
