video; you're a shining star. that is what you are.
[when the camera comes on, the world is treated to a close up of Peridot's face.]
So that event was a complete nightmare, like almost all of them, but something good did come out of it. Look!
[she pulls back the camera to showcase that her bodysuit now looks more like this.] It's official! I'm a real Crystal Gem now. It took me a few days to decide how I wanted to reconfigure my appearance modifiers after my form was destabilized, but I think I have it just the way I want it.
[she's so excited that she doesn't seem to care that (a. barely anyone will know what she's talking about and (b. that her bodysuit didn't even change THAT MUCH.
in the middle of her preening, there's a chittering sound and a flutter of wings and Peridot looks up abruptly.] ....Oh that reminds me.
[she moves the camera so it's pointing at a cluster of bats that are taking up residents in the rafters of her barn-room. she lowers her voice conspiratorially.] These weird featherless birds won't stop following me. [she turns the camera to face her again- extreme close up style] How do I make them go away? I've tried everything! I've even thrown rocks at them, and they just won't leave.

And poofed Peridot, who she kind of likes a lot.
She doesn't respond to the entry for a bit, and starts stress eating some candy from a bowl in the hallway, frowning at Peridot's new look on her phone. Man, she looks cool.]
video (is here)
Good?
Suddenly, the stress eating seems to work all too well. Instead of wanting to avoid Peridot, looking at her makes Amethyst really, really want to talk to her.
So she responds, grin on her face as if she wasn't just messed up about anything.]
Lookin' good, Per. I guess we should call you Perihot now.
no subject
and even though she expected things to be MUCH more awkward after the whole poofing, this is better. much better. they can avoid this together! in fact, to prove she's okay with it, she'll just....
put her foot in her mouth.]
And just think I couldn't've done it without you!

Those birds are actually not birds! They're bats. They belong to a different classification of Earth animal.
You must be Peridot!
video;
[wait. her ego senses are tingling.]
...Yes, I'm Peridot. I take it you've heard of my greatness.

They aren't birds, actually. Those are bats. They... won't hurt you, I think, but I can try and help you get rid of them if you'd like.
[ If anything, the dog might chase them away. ]

She's actually smiling genuinely, albeit with a curious look in her eyes, when she turns on her feed]
Destabilization of any kind generally wouldn't mean anything good in my work, but I'm guessing it had some positive...side effects for you?
[she has a feeling it's skirting close to her concerns about her own state of being, but she can't keep avoiding that. Well, she could but it probably won't work well]
[video]
[heh heh. rock puns.]
[video]
[Amanda tilts her head slightly, as she puzzles it out.
She laughs, catching the pun]
It is. [and she thinks she might actually be a little jealous, considering] Is this the first time you've ever had to do that?

[They're doing their best to remember the proper gem terminology here. But THEY DID IT. And they look appropriately worried.]

It... wasn't really a big deal, honestly.

[Pidge isn't that informed on the subtleties of gem culture. As far as she knew, Peridot was already a gem. The difference the word crystal makes to the fact is unclear to her.]

[flatly as if this... answers the question. she's still learning nuance here, pidge.]

Nah let's go with [Video] too!.
Um, Mmmm- Maybe they're fruit bats, and think your hair is, uh...
I mean, they're not biting you, right? They're not vampire bats? You could lure them away with something to eat. Fruit, or some species eat bugs? I saw that on a nature program once.
Your room's got the kind of places they like to hang out, though, up on the beams?
[Video]
Fruit! Of course. Why didn't I think of that before?
[and she lays the communicator down and retreats to her closet. the screen is still pointed in a direction where you can see and hear her when she returns with
a fucking watermelon.] Frisk and Chara taught me about this. Now if I can just...
[she tries to lift the watermelon over her head to toss it and only ends up toppling over backwards. the watermelon hits her head on, smashes, and the bats delightedly swarm her to partake of the delicious melon-y goodness while the poor gem shrieks.
and all of this broadcasted live for your enjoyment, coraline.]

[It's a small change, but for someone used to noticing the small things, it's not too hard to see it. He doesn't know what it means, but it seems important.
And then...]
Huh. Y've got bats. Bit smaller than what 'm used to, but def'nitely bats. They don't like water, but they shouldn't hurt y'.
no subject
[oh right.. the bats. she glowers at them.] I think they like the rafters...
