Post 1: Video

[justathought]

[A young girl's face appears on the video feed, looking ever so slightly confused and concerned. Appearing on a public network in front of everyone is also giving her just a bit of stage fright, but they're not actually there in front of her, so it's not that bad. Besides, she has some questions that need answering.]

Hey, so... I can't help but notice that the mansion I've been staying in is gone? And also that... so are a lot of other people, it seems like. Unless there's another party somewhere I don't know about.

I was going to see if anyone had said anything about it, when I noticed I can make posts here all of a sudden, so I figured I'd ask... um...

Am I going to be living here now? Should I find a room? Is there anyone I need to talk to, or can I just... take one?

[She listens carefully to her words.]

You... took on Jasper yourselves?! Were you hurt? Was Steven alright? Was-- Was Stevonnie alright?

[Because that's more important than the fact that Stevonnie fought off Jasper.]

If Jasper is by herself, then Lapis...

[justathought]

No, it went great! Stevonnie didn't get hurt at all!

[The only one that did get hurt is Amethyst, but... maybe she shouldn't mention that. Still, there is a slight dip in her cheerfulness about how well things went, as her mind drifts to that subject.]

Lapis is fine, I think? She's apparently living at the barn with Peridot, now.

[Oh her head is swirling. So Japser and Lapis unfused somehow. And now Lapis, who tried to destroy the world at some point to get home, is now living at the barn. With Peridot.

She swallows thickly.]

I think I need to sit down.

[justathought]

Yeah, I... guess it's a lot to take in all at once.

Sorry.

[Come to think of it, maybe Connie shouldn't have mentioned any of it.]

[beyourrock]

N-No it's alright. I...

[She shakes her head and tries to offer a smile in return.]

This just means I have to see how much you've learned in sword fighting thus far. And see if you're ready for advanced techniques.

[justathought]

Yes ma'am!

[Connie quickly snaps to attention at that, starting to smile again.]

Not to boast or anything, but... I really do feel like I've improved a lot since I started!
