LOG DATE 7 16 2 [AUDIO]
[when this message begins broadcasting, it’s very clear the person responsible has NO IDEA this is actually transmitting to a large population. in fact, the shrill voice just sounds like she’s calmly- possibly too calmly- talking to herself.]
Log Date Seven-One-Six-Two.
I seem to have found myself- inexplicably- in some sort of bizarre, unstable dimension. The primary population appears to be Earth humans, though they refer to themselves by specifications rather than the traditional names that humans identify themselves by. What’s more is these humans do not find rain to be…. pleasant, and would prefer to stand in awful, cramped conditions, rather than be out in it.
Earlier I drew the conclusion that these may not be humans at all, but rather some sort of strange herd creature that greatly resembles a standard Earth human. However, before I could test this hypothesis, something happened and I found myself in this strange, and thankfully, much more sizable Earth dwelling, which I am having trouble rationalizing, beyond that clearly the reality of this place is in some sort of state of flux. However, this is purely speculation and that suggests it’s more a fault in my perception of reality, than the reality itself.
As to why I am here, rather than back at the temple, or why this dimension exists, or if any of it is, in fact, real, and I am not so given to my current madness that my vision spheres cannot be trusted…. [a small, pained gulp] I have no idea. I can only continue to document my findings and hope that if the Crystal Gems discover this after I’ve well and truly gone far beyond being helped, they’ll remember that my destruction was entirely their fault.
This is Peridot, further tilting towards madness, signing off for now.
[and the feed clicks, so she can… curl up on the floor in a fetal position and cry for a moment, not realizing that PEOPLE HAVE HEARD THIS.]

[Warm welcomes. Kralie excels at them.]
[audio]
[she sounds annoyed and also mildly possessive. he's using a word that AMETHYST uses for her. also she still doesn't know what it means. but clearly it's a very apt descriptor for her.
but still. HISS.]

peridot
i'm sensing a theme here
you know what a nerd is though right
[audio]
[a beat and then, blandly:] I don't know the exact definition.
[text]
what do you look like
[No wait okay this is actually fascinating]
are you just this floating rock pressing buttons
can you do a video
i want a video
i wanna see a rock
i wanna see your rock face
[audio- video]
I am not a floating rock pressing- Hnnngh. Here. [she slams her little fingers down to get the video to pop up. here, alex, have a dorito head.]
As I was saying, this form is simply more functional for obvious reasons. [WHY WOULD A FLOATING ROCK JUST RUN AROUND BEING A FLOATING ROCK. YOU'RE SO STUPID, KAREN.]
[text] - [video]
That isn't a rock. It's an angry little slice of key-lime pie.
He can't keep this to himself, but he knows full well what happens when the camera's on too close to himself so he has to set it on a chair several feet from him. When he shows up on video the picture's a little fuzzy and he's a little distant, but static isn't completely tearing up the screen so hopefully he's understandable.]
Oh my god. You're like - fluorescent.
no subject
What's your point? [it's not her fault, you don't have enough variation in flesh pigmentation.]
no subject
No point, no. Except that, uh, [he tries to say it with a straight face but the innocent expression cracks almost immediately,] You're not just a nerd.
[God help him he's going to lose it again.]
You literally rock.
no subject
oh here it is, the awkward forced laughter.
and then she's all business again as she rubs her forehead.] Hnngh. As much as I enjoy low-brow Earth humor, I have somewhere I need to be. And I don't have time to go even more insane than I already have.
no subject
Yeah, sure, okay. Uh, have fun in winter Wonderland, I guess. It's a real blast.
[He's going to put her down in his contacts as: π ]
no subject
Wait! [listen to that panic.] What do you mean?
[any of it. any of it at all.]
no subject
[She seems...genuinely surprised about this. Oh geez. Is she like actually an alien because he was prepared to laugh at it he was not prepared to take actual responsibility for that
responsibility is scary okay]
Do, uh, do you have those where you come from?
no subject
We don't have anything like that on Homeworld. And I haven't experienced a-
[by now she's started walking towards the front door to see this for herself, and when she shoves it open and sees the snow on the ground, she gasps.] ...Oh my stars.
[well at least her curiosity has distracted her from the fact that she's stranded on ANOTHER stupid planet with similar patterns to Earth and the cluster is going to kill the planet she betrayed Yellow Diamond to protect. Her life is a series of pointless incidents. But at least she has science.]
no subject
[Okay, so he doesn't have a big word for it but no one else explained that either, they just said you couldn't LEAVE and that's not likely to make Pi here feel any more at ease. He doesn't know what would make her feel more at ease, on account of her being a rock...alien...thing.]
Uhh, yeah, so that's snow. You've seen snow, right? It's cold and squishy and don't eat it, seriously. That's bad news bears.
no subject
Frozen liquid. [he can see her squint up at the sky.] That makes sense. Atmospheric conditions and temperature fluctuations could change the state of the absorbed water so that when it falls back to Earth, it's in a new form.
[she's mostly talking to herself at this point, but as she dumps the snow out of her free hand, she still looks mildly disgusted.] At least one thing around here makes sense.
no subject
but yeah she's totally right]
I dunno if it really counts as Earth. I mean, it looks kinda like it? But there's stuff that's, uh, different. Like, um. The mirrors. And the fact that no one can leave. And the events. And, uh. Wait.
[Hang on, she's the sort of person who likes information and official stuff, right? Definitely.]
Gimme a sec.
[Information...sending.]
no subject
[no shit, p-dot. she seems deeply troubled by it- probably because a lot of it she DOES NOT COMPREHEND. ugh stop defaulting to Earth language, you plebes. check your privilege. and beyond that, everything else is illogical and stupid.] But I suppose it will be sufficient if I'm going to be stuck here.
[alone. again. no homeworld. no crystal gems. why must this always happen to her, the great and wonderful peridot???] It's not as if I'm going to have anything to go back to, anyway. There's no way the Crystal Gems are going to save the Earth without me.
[her tone almost contains genuine sorrow amidst her annoyance. she doesn't really... want Earth to die and she doesn't want the Gems to be shattered, but what can she do? She was stranded on Earth for unseemly amount of rotations without ever successfully contacting Homeworld. How's she supposed to fix this? That's enough to make even the toughest gem crack and she never claimed to be a tough gem. She's not made to be tough. She's made to be logical and she's stuck in a place where logic has no meaning.
Ugh.]
no subject
[The Crystal Gems. Is this rock for real. Who is he kidding of course she is.
He feels a little bad about it, cause obviously she's stuck trying to assign logic to a place that really has none to speak of. But still, there are plenty of nerds here, right? They don't have any problems with finding neat nerd shit to look at. But they're also human, so.]
Well, uh, if it makes you feel better, sometimes people get sent back. Kiiiind of without warning, but it's been known to happen.
no subject
[aside from figure out how to get back, but she's certain that's going to be a moot point. it's all she has. there's no kindergarten to distract herself with. she's not like the other Crystal Gems- she still has to rely on what she was made to do, beyond a few indulgences every now and then.]
no subject
[He could console her by saying there's plenty of nerd stuff here to do but he doesn't actually know what that stuff is. Does he look like a nerd. Heck no.]
There's a library, if you're into that sorta thing. Might even find stuff from...wherever you come from. Is everyone rocks where you're from?
no subject
[as if anyone on this dirt bomb of a psuedo planet knows how to kill a Gem. she has a lot of questions, but she knows he doesn't know a lick about what she needs to know, so she just has to bite her tongue and move on.] And the correct term is Gem.
[that's a yes.]
no subject
[lmfaooooo. he even does some fingerguns.]
I gotta say, I haven't seen any other talking rocks. Though I guess if any others show up you'll know. We gotta whole network thingy.
no subject
[she might actually be being deliberately obtuse on that one, because puns. they're only cute when amethyst or pearl do them excessively.]
Convenient. I'll have to monitor this network for any sign of them.
[that's going to be fun for her... and everyone else.]
no subject
[Look on the bright side here, right!!
nvm he's not very good at that.]
So you do know that everything you post here goes public, right?
