Second Gem | Video

[beyourrock]

[The feed opens up with Pearl, looking down into it. She looks a little irritated, but her brows furrow and she adjusts the screen accordingly before stepping back a few feet. All of her now being in frame. The Gem gives a small wave after clearing her throat.]

Greetings once again, Wonderland. This is Pearl, and I come to you all today with an offer.

[The gem in her forehead glows brightly. Closing her eyes, Pearl reaches inside the actual gem itself, extracting a rapier blade from inside it. That's right folks.

She pulls a sword from inside her head. Or, gem, specifically.

Pearl twirls the sword in her hand before she rests the tip of it against the floor.]

I would like to offer my services. I specialize in swordsmanship. I have a couple thousand years of experience. I'm willing to teach anyone, and it doesn't matter your skill level. Wonderland can be unpredictable, so it's better to be prepared, right?

For, now I'm gauging interest. Plus, it would be great, for myself, to start practicing again.

[A beat.]

Oh, and I could offer dance lessons if anyone is interested!

[After being here a few months Dean's already resigned himself to the fact that this is totally normal but that doesn't mean that some chick pulling a sword from her head isn't something he can avoid commenting on.]

What are you?

[Frisk watches the broadcast with wide-eyed interest. They know her, they think. They've seen her before, haven't they? Right, right! Now they remember!

So that means she must be a...a gem, right? They don't remember what her name was, but then she helpfully supplies it. "Pearl".

This takes them back, a little bit. Back to when they had Ballet Shoes and an Old Tutu, or when they posed dramatically for Mettaton. That could be fun.]

What kind of dancing?

[HOLY HECK THIS WOMAN JUST PULLED A SWORD OUT OF HER FACE]

Swordsmanship? Golly, sign me up!

[Can't be all that different from knifesmanship, right? Only difference is that one's a little bigger than the other.]

One must know how to defend oneself, right? Better not take any chances.

I am afraid that I am not too interested in either swordsmanship or dancing, however it is nice that you are willing to share your knowledge like that!

...Though, I do hope that you are being careful about who you are teaching how to use a weapon to. Not everybody is old enough to use a deadly weapon yet, after all.

[Looking at you, Chara.]

[Admittedly, dance lessons sound fun. But Souji actually does have some experience with a sword, so he'll address that first.]

After a couple thousand years, you've got to be amazing. I'd be interested in learning from you.

What sort of swordsmanship?

[Those who'd offered to continue her training with the sword here were more used to hacking and slashing with broadswords than the more delicate style of water dancing, which Arya is desperate to continue with.]

I'm, uh, n-not much of a fighter or a dancer but... dance l-lessons?

[zigazigah]

Might want to start off by explaining how exactly you did that.

[Because that's some Stand user-level of neat trick, but Trish knows there's more than Stand users here. So just about anything could explain it.
