Glaze [Hilo 6]

>The small figures of mercury dissolve, in a grotesque way. Kunzite replicas' heads, arms, everything fall off until they are just bumps on a reflective metal mat. Almandine let you leave the room in silence, but, as a few seconds passed, you heard many of his hurried footsteps behind you. Almandine stopped in front of the door, with one of his feet still inside, but with the full intention of wanting to get out and reach you. Unable to do so, Almandine only raised his voice. She, incredibly, contradicted a sentence that should have been absolute. Even if it was a tantrum or if the fact was true, it was a fact that Almandine was letting everything out of him.(Almandine) Definitely… She would be fine with it!! Kunzite would have accepted everything! You don't know because you're too naive, Taaffeita. But she, Kunzite was the baddest gem of all! Don't you believe me? So why did he help so many unstable gems? To gems like me... so they can live here in this place full of pure and complete perverse shit.
>He went up and joined his hands at the height of his chest. Unlike Kunzite, Almandine metal is rearranged by lumps, which aggressively enter its interior through openings in its back. She trembles at times because of this action, but shows greater displeasure when she has to tell the truth about the Island. She insults the Crystalline Earth, and if that were not enough, this only seems to be the prelude to another statement. He removed his hands from his chest and shouted at you. But as he did so, Almandine had to touch the sides of his head. Fortunately, unlike iodine or bromine, the boiling point of mercury and bismuth was much higher.
(Almandine) I hate you! I hate you and Fluorite! And I hate all those stupid combat gems. I hate them so much that the metal inside me could boil...! Your honorable goal, your greater cause, all alone have made Kunzite suffer for decades. And you too! What can't you realize?
>Almandine moved his hands repeatedly, accentuating his words and at the same time, releasing the tension built up in his inclusions. However, due to this fact, some of the mercury that was returning to his body was shot in your direction. It was a very small amount, but it landed on your right arm and the poisonous metal quickly entered your composition. Even if it was just a few drops, it was enough to make your arm feel dizzy and numb. Realizing the fact, Almandine brought his hands to his face, but it did not last more than two seconds. She exclaimed again, but without complaint, she did it with a certain fear. Her words revealed that, indeed, what happened during the winter was not something she wanted to repeat, in any way.
(Almandine) …It's not my fault… I said it's not my fault! Don't you dare...! Don't you dare force me to walk again, or see me that way... Please.

(Alexandrite*) Taaffe, that's not true.
>For a moment, as she flexed her lips, it seemed that Alexandrita would accept. However, in the most polite of ways, she shook her head as she reformulated her smile. The general atmosphere is warm. Fluorite has transformed into flowers you have never seen before, and that grotesque shape was very close. Alexandrite in front of you, however, gives the impression of being even warmer. Without the need to play with other people's material. Spreading her hands out in front of you, ready for you to cross your fingers she says.
(Alexandrite*) My Taaffeíta… There is not a single thing I have not loved about those simple, almost forgettable days. I want to remain in your memories forever, and I want to be by your side. But.
>Hundreds of flowers appeared in the sky. Floating, each one of an unknown type and that you could never identify. They were so large that only their beauty could counteract their immensity. However, even though there were so many, none of them really looked in disrepair. Each and every one of them was in perfect bloom, spinning, rotating or moving passively in the sky. You could never see how one collided with the other. Alexandrita calls you to observe her, and to observe around you. Even though it is “spring”, the flowers that will grow in the Crystalline Earth will never have this level of perfection. Alex continues speaking strangely, for a dream.
(Alexandrite*) You learned it after hundreds of years taking care of the garden, didn't you? Everything ends. The flowers wither. Everything must end.
(Anatasa*) I'm sorry...
>She hadn't stopped holding you. He was behind you, and crossing his hands over your belly. Probably the only way to reach Alexandrita was to open Anatasa's fingers or wait for her hands to break from the very action of her strength.

>What Peridotite had in his hands dissolved in the air, reverberating with the sound of the inclusions but very slightly. Before it was destroyed, it looked like a prism inside a snow bubble. That is, it was a set of pure inclusions that said phenotype released into the air. With the power and influence of Fluorite concentrated in a single body, the decoupling phase of the inflationary field began. And at the same time, Fluorite itself was transmuting into various forms, just as when it attempted to transmit its abilities to Taaffeite. Both could observe the pyroclastic being that Rutilo had become, changing again and again the shape and composition of his arms in what appears to be different types of weapons. She had also suffered damage equal to or slightly less than Taaffeite, so her reasoning was very confusing. Fluorite had break marks on her face, however, when she looked at Leucosapphire her head unconsciously came together.
(Fluorite) No, me. N-no, this way...
(Rutile)…
>He let his head rest on the ground, unable to formulate a correct sentence. The Fluorite pieces are almost scattered throughout the library. And soon, those of Leucozafiro and Rutile. Despite the pressure from the sky, gravity and air continued to function as usual. Nothing started floating or slowing down out of nowhere. The presence of the flowers and their influence on the gems must have been an influence on the inclusions and not on the mineral of the gems themselves. In that way, performing a throw requires concentration, not so much to adjust a trajectory, but to adjust the force. In that way, Rutilo's head fell behind her, or what seemed to be her head. The top piece of Rutile roasted the ground and allowed several library documents to burn around it. Peridotite then stood in front of Leucosapphire immediately claiming.
(Gardan) Hey! I told you not to intervene! Maybe I didn't specify it as an order, because this is more like an interview. But.
(Fluorite) Aa-aaah! Enough!
(Gardan) I have a big heart, so I'll let it go.
>Rutilo's head transformed into ash, and he entered back into his incandescent body. Then Rutilo's body dropped the last weapon his arms created. A kind of axe, smaller than the one Padparadscha usually has in reserve. It was effective anyway, falling below his shoulder. The crystal that cracked in Fluorite let more and more of that viscous substance that generated so much discomfort flow out. Fluorite herself reacted with pain, and Peridotite, seeing that Rutile was still continuing with his work, left the scolding aside.
(Rutile) You are bleeding, let it flow to the end. I... Why? It's been a long time since I completely dried myself! It's you? It's your fault, isn't it? Fluorite!. Close your eyes, remember everything you have done, destroy yourself.
(Fluorite) I can't.
(Rutilo) Resignation…! Resign now. Let me die... Please... Please... I can't take it anymore, Gypse...
>From inside Fluorite, without Rutile having damaged said part of its body, a kind of black tentacles, or entrails, began to emerge; it would be easier to describe them as dark intestines that melted upon contact with another material. Fluorite showed another bit of resistance, but Rutile then did not counterattack. She let clear liquid flow from her center to her neck and began a series of slower, more deliberate movements. From side to side he staggered and his voice showed nothing but suffering. Then immediately, through the wall that Gardan tore out of the library, Padparadscha appeared ready to cut it with her sword. Padparadscha stopped, just half a meter before he cut Gardan in half. The inertia acted immediately, but, although a clear break was heard, she had no external fractures that she had not counted on before. Her fingers broke, no force having directly affected her, just Gardan's gaze. His sword fell to the ground, but Padparadscha could still speak and scream. He exclaimed in the direction of Taaffeita first. By the time he noticed Taaffeíta's situation, the voice he addressed to Sapphire marked greater desperation.(Padparadscha) What? N-no. Taaffeita, get up! Get up, it's in front of you! Leucosapphire! Corundum! What are you doing still there? Fight, separate them! Do it somehow! Whatever it takes… A-alloclasa!
(Almandine) …!
>The mercury in Taaffeíta's face was not integrating into her body. This metal only reacts with gems in good condition, active. Therefore, when Almandine slid from the third floor falling directly where Fluorite and Rutile were, the mercury that Taaffeite had detached itself from its face and returned with its origin gem. Some of the fire in the surrounding area dissipated by being drowned with mercury, however, the same mercury in direct contact with a burning Rutile began to boil. Almandine has a hardness of 7, like garnet, while Rutile 6 and Fluorite 4. However, against mercury, Fluorite seemed almost immune. Nothing about him fit in or messed with her in any way. Almandine struggled in silence against Rutilo until the break, both of them. Because, several of the parts of Rutile had a hardness of 7 slag. The Almandine mineral lit up, caught fire to the point that you could see how the resin fell melted and the faces of its inclusions inside lit up continuously. And not only did they shine, but they also shattered from within. The bismuth escaped from said confrontation and began to fill the holes in the ground, coupling its cubic shapes. This would continue until Gardan had to act to prevent interventions. But unlike how he stopped Padparadscha, Gardan could do nothing against the heterogeneous mass of pyroclast, dark entrails, and quicksilver in front of him. She just screamed. By that time, however, Taaffeíta had already completely broken under the weight of the structure against which it was leaning, but not before having observed how Almandine's head detached itself from the center of the library and the mercury made it return.
(Gardan) Hey, stop! I'm telling you to stop! Stop, red silicoclase, stop! You're not like Rutilo, you ignore me on purpose-

>>10150
>>10151
>The sky trembled and the earth too, the flowers in the sky dissipated and the blue color returned. The clouds had been completely eradicated, except for a group of them that settled in the north of the Island. What resulted from Almandine's assault on Rutilo was an amorphous mass of two gems that almost disintegrated in front of an almost completely broken Fluorite. Axinite and Taaffeite were there, but both were broken. Padparadscha, the only sentient gem couldn't do much either. After Gardan watched her for a second, her legs and arms fell away, letting her broken mineral leak out from inside her body. Gardan positioned himself in the direction of the north and spoke into nothingness.
(Gardan) Varation Avalok? Sending all those units here is overkill, and you know it. Isn't it you? Hmm… Don't be stubborn. Destroying the planet is part of our salvation, it doesn't matter if you are against it.
>From your experience maintaining communications at a distance you could attest that she was speaking directly to someone else. She tried to convince said thing that it could only fit Tara's definition of stupidity and clumsiness. After all, you saw it too. In the sky, there was no longer just one perfectly smooth and white moon orbiting thousands of kilometers away, but there were 7 of them. After Gardan finished this conversation, the 7 took almost random directions, but that effectively surrounded the earth at speeds and distances at which they would not impact each other. Peridotite returned her gaze to Rutile, whose appearance was one that you could assign to a gem in the dormant room. His material and that of Almandine evaporated with the heat that Rutilo itself generated. Probably, nothing could be used from such pieces if they were not cleaned and collected properly, even adding healthy gem parts. Peridotite however did not show disappointment, she reacted with some admiration.
(Gardan) I'm sorry, Rutilo. After all, you weren't such a good candidate. If you had achieved assimilation immediately, I would be eternally grateful... But I assure you that someone will follow your will, and will probably try it in a few thousand years.(Padparadscha) Ruby destroyed those two Blocks, along with Green Diamond, it wasn't me. It struggled until it finally fell destroyed... Don't rebuild it. You will only break his heart. Corundum, Aluminum oxide. Don't involve her, or Alloclasa-!
>The reason Gardan had difficulty acting inside the Academy was because the remaining combat gems were tasked with destroying the gigantic pyroclasts. Padparadscha confessed that to you after falling against a shelf next to his pieces. For a moment before that, it was clear that she would try to call you a traitor and prevent you from going to Peridotite. However, you don't fully understand why he didn't do it. She only talked about your teacher and gave you clear instructions. Gems that are destroyed outside are much more likely to end up in the Crust than those that fell in here. Therefore, you would have the option to rearm several gems down there. This is not a decision that rests entirely with you, but Padparadscha ignores that. She extends her gaze to where Fluorite is, who remained face down, still slightly conscious and changing. Padparadscha exclaimed, before Gardan used the same ability to control all types of silica to push you against the edge towards the blob on the shores of destruction.
(...)
(Gardan) Even if we have repaired it, we couldn't count on it. Gems with alloys are too volatile. Just look how he messed up towards the end, when we were already so close. Providing physical proof of your defeat may serve to destabilize any remaining gem! I'm already starting to think like her.
(Emeth3) Hello!! Hello, Leucozafiro! I have it!! Eehhhh? Slow down, slow down! My head!
>As you descended into an ovoid platform, with Gardan at your side, you were able to notice a couple of things. Sometimes the ground may be slightly transparent. Even though you are hundreds of meters below, you can clearly see some trees and a couple of spots that represent the lake and forest of the Crystalline Earth above. You can also clearly observe underwater crevices and caves that extend below even the ground under the sea. Even the ground was not completely solid, but in its translucency, you could observe an Emeth that was emerging at full speed in the opposite direction to you. With Gardan showing optimism and Emeth ignoring Peridotite's presence there, it was too late until the two crossed paths. Half your head fell into what was an immediate loss of consciousness. The Emeth that attempted to capture Pink Diamond returned to the island with positive results, but at a time delay that was too late.

>>10150
(Purple Topaz) Even feeling the weight of time, I wish to be with you always and eternally.
Once again my desire blooms. Let it shine for me.
The distant past fades away. I should be reborn for you.
If what you expect are depths, my feelings will still embrace you.
Close your eyes and dream of the moons.
They will turn pain into sweet promises once again.
>His singing voice hasn't changed since then. Around you there are wooden walls that you can't touch, but you can feel. You find yourself inside a box of gems, specifically in the blue room with inactive gems. Although your eyes are open, it doesn't seem strange to the gem next to you. The last thing you remember is that Rutile failed to make Fluorite kill itself, due to Leucosapphire and Almandine. Your limbs feel heavy, too heavy, you can't move them yet. But Purple is aware of this and approaches on her own. She asks you, kindly.
(Purple Topaz) Did you like it, Taaffeita? I changed the lyrics slightly. My teacher Sapphire was so radiant and bright, but her words usually bordered on melancholy. And that's not something I would want for you right now.
>She didn't wait for a response, she started talking about the song itself and how her teacher taught it to her. Sapphire is the name that Alexandrita also repeated to you once. However, the time you were inactive you did not have as pleasant a dream as when Fluorite transformed in front of you. Purple Topaz acts strange, she ignores your gaze and only talks to you by looking under your face. Fortunately you can see it, and that is a great relief. Right off the bat you would have no idea how long it took until you were rebuilt, but looking at Purple gives you an idea. Tens or hundreds of years did not pass until his hair became completely black, due to a deficiency of the metal inside. Taaffeíta rests his elbows on the edge of the table, to support his face while he lowers his head.
(Purple Topaz) I have always thought that giving up and going crazy would be the easiest thing to do. And in part, I took that path, for hundreds and hundreds of years. But I don't want to anymore, I'm tired. Therefore, wake up, Taaffeita. You saved me, and I need you. Don't leave me alone.
>He covered his face for several seconds, 10, 20. After a minute you heard Purple Topaz make a brief cracking sound. A little dust fell on your right hand that glowed a diluted violet with unnatural yellow traces. Purple Topaz rejoined, after asking you several times. There was a strange element in all his words, a certain tiredness, as if he had repeated this dynamic many times. However, when he sat down properly, Purple Topaz's face was able to brighten a little more. She then talked about what seems to be recent things. Creating your own or joint plans, letting out the clearly controversial opinions you have always had.
(Purple Topaz) We will choose the most beautiful flowers to make the garden grow. Or we'll spend the day drinking tea and talking about unimportant things. You know, there's a very popular new game that involves arranging and gluing, lining up and gluing, over and over again. Honestly, it's incredibly boring! But I want to play it with you. So... Give me the strength to continue, another day!
>As soon as Purple stood up, she exclaimed. He took a very foolish step forward, typical of having gotten rid of his long, extensive clothes. She was currently wearing a dress like all the gems during the summer. You could now raise your head, speak and move your arms, although you could not immediately get used to walking or moving your fingers correctly. A gem entered the room and interrupted Purple's march out. Thin and light blue, she looked similar to Dioptasa, but she did not wear glasses. Although, you could tell that he was slightly older than her by the size of his body. Her long hair doesn't match any of the gems her age, or at least the ones you know.
(-) Purple-, Purple! All your students will meet outside the School. We will be waiting for you. Don't be late, okay? I ask you!
(Purple Topaz) Okay. Fluorite.

>>10150
>if gems are gayWell, it's a much more grounded dream than Zafiro Kek's last one. I would like to dream about Glaze, almost everything I do while awake
By the way, this turn (>>10156) is located between 3 or 5 years after what happened, it is not necessary for you to change your appearance. Or if you want do it, but I plan to do a couple of 300 shifts later. And then there's the time jump that's a little longer than this one in the extra.

We are already in the epilogue of the second part, so I accept all kinds of meta.

>>10152

Kunzite...was an unstable gem, yet she found a place in this community and wanted to see you do the same.

>He ignored the sound of footsteps and continued walking until they became extremely close.
>He turned to Almandine, looked at her with almost no expression and listened to what she had to say.
>His gaze shifted to the side and then down as he searched for words to respond with.
>Kunzite's memory loss was an instability just like Almandine's
>Taaffeita doesn't really like the term "unstable" when describing a gem and much less likes using it on Kunzite
>But right now the use of that word is necessary so that Almandine can realize that like Kunzita she can also manage to fit in

Almandine...

>During his vent, Almandine expressed several ideas which Taaffeita did not even want to discuss.
>He previously told her that if he wants to hate her he can and that she won't do anything about it other than accept it.
>Right now that's what he was doing, he wasn't just receiving Almandine's hatred towards him
>While Taaffeita was standing there, she also became the recipient of hatred towards Fluorite and the rest of the gems.
>Doing this was much easier than trying to argue with Almandine, whether this is helpful or not is unknown.
>The only thing she is sure of is that she doesn't feel good being here either.
>When you look down at your hand you may notice small traces of mercury on it that explain your current discomfort.
>In an attempt to expel it he began releasing silica from his hand to eliminate the symptoms
>While doing this he stood watching Almandine with his hand raised
>I don't scold her, I don't blame her, nor did she express any annoyance in her words or looks.

Keep thinking carefully about what it is you want

>The only thing his empty eyes expressed was a certain pessimism at the idea that things had come to this
>The goal of showing Almandine his hand was to make it clear to him what his actions are capable of generating.
>Taaffeita didn't even bother to tell him if this is right or wrong, it was up to Almandine to decide that
>In the same way, it is she who must decide what her feelings are regarding the rest of the gems and her community.
>Once Taaffeita managed to get rid of most of the mercury, he spoke again and communicated this to Almandine
>Whatever path you choose is something you must decide for yourself.
>With nothing more to say to him, Taaffeita turns around and continues walking.

>>10153

No... if you take good care of them... you can...

>The boundary between dream and reality was becoming blurred, Taaffeita no longer even knew how to recognize which one she was seeing.
>Ignoring that she continued speaking, whether it was a hallucination or the real Alexandrita Taaffeita did not want to let her go.
>Flowers took over the sky in her vision, flowers larger and more beautiful than any she had ever planted.
>What Alexandrita said was true, all plants, animals and living beings end up failing sooner or later
>The gems who at first seem exempt from that rule are also prisoners of time
>However, with the correct care it is possible to double or even triple the life expectancy of almost any species
>And thinking about that, Taaffeita realized that she failed to take good care of Alexandrita...

You have nothing to apologize for Anatasa. Alex, I'll do my best to take good care of the rest!

>His body forces itself to go forward to reach Alexandrita so he can be with her again.
>However, when doing so he notices an extra weight on his waist that prevents him from doing so.>Looking down she finds Anatasa firmly attached to her
>Instead of fighting or asking him to stop, Taaffeita just stared at him as he stopped his advance.
>He placed his hand carefully on Anatasa's head and exempted her from any kind of guilt.
>He may not have managed to take care of Alexandrita, but there is still time to do right by the young gems

>>10151

You... are you? what are you?

>In one of the many clouds between consciousness and unconsciousness, he catches something else that catches his attention.
>A gem made of a white material whose face seems vaguely familiar, but due to its condition it is unable to recognize
>The many strange parts it has, such as its Padparadscha hair and its pyroclastic torso, only make it more difficult to identify it.
>In addition to that, she has a Happy on her, all these factors make Taaffeita have severe doubts about what to think about her
>The answer to whether she is friend or foe comes the moment he sees her throwing her pieces towards the other pyroclastic gem.
>A strange movement to come from a gem born on the crystalline earth and which does not seem to have had much effect either.

>>10154

I-I tried-to...

>Taaffeita's efforts to move decreased or increased depending on the situation, but they never stopped
>Every time she thought about the futility of trying to get up, she was affected by a great sense of guilt that forced her to move forward.
>He couldn't just lie while watching the rest fall and his mind wouldn't let him faint so as not to witness it.
>At the words of someone who was both her partner and teacher, Taaffeita once again pushed herself beyond her limits
>The results, of course, were the same as before, he could not stand up and had no way to support himself on anything.
>The only thing it was capable of doing was crawling at the speed of a slug or a snail
>With every movement her body made, she released small pieces of herself and her vision became more blurred.
>The strange barrage of memories and hallucinations he was having also didn't help him know how much of what he saw was real.
>Both the sky and some of those present were taking on strange and unknown shapes that looked like something out of a fantasy.
>And perhaps, that is the answer behind those discouraging phenomena...
>It is a fantasy, a bad dream from which you will soon wake up to find a much quieter place...

>>10156

...

>At some point her breaks and breaks were enough to let her rest
>The relaxing melody that played welcomes you to a place that seems completely foreign to what you saw before you woke up.
>Now she lay quietly in the middle of the dormant gem room, while Purple Topaz sang to her
>Without wasting time he tried to get up to check what the current situation was.
>However, she was not able to raise her body or her voice; she was extremely sleepy to do so.
>His eyes scanned the room and Purple Topaz as he waited to stand up.
>And his mind endlessly recalled the last of his memories in order to put them in order.

Purple... Sorry, could you update me? ...with everything

>Purple Topaz's attitude was a bit strange, at first he thought she simply didn't see him open his eyes.
>But as time passed and she was able to move her body she began to feel ignored.
>It was almost as if Purple Topaz couldn't see her or pretended she couldn't.
>Taaffeita's body managed to recover before her voice, so she did not have the opportunity to announce her return
>Not until Purple Topaz turned around ready to leave, at that moment Taaffeita caught her attention
>Feeling Purple Topaz's gaze, Taaffeita felt the need to apologize for her long rest.
>He doesn't know how long it's been, but from Purple Topaz's behavior he assumes it's been over a year.
>Which meant that there were many things he needed to know, such as the identity of the new gem found in the room
>His eyes rested on that young gem indicating a noticeable confusion regarding who she is.>Of course he wanted to know her name, but the way his gaze returned to Purple Topaz made it clear that it was not a priority matter.
>Right now what you most want to know is how the previous conflict ended

>>10157
>I accept all types of meta
Is there any type of goal that you will not accept at another time?

>I would like to dream about Glaze
I usually read shifts before going to sleep, I guess that helps increase the chances of having a dream about this

>you don't need to change your appearance
How many turns are we going to role before the next timeskip? Depending on the number I see if it changed its appearance or not

>>10158
>Is there any type of goal that you would not accept at another time?
No. Stop putting me in black check, please kek

>How many turns are we going to role before the next timeskip?
There will be 2, at most 3 if I have anything left to answer you. And the same with the extra shifts. 2 shifts will be planned.

This is the list of hardness 8, 9 and 10 gems after the raid:
Heliodor 50 - Captured - 10% remaining
Heliodor 57 - No damage
Imperial Topaz - 100% Destroyed
Purple Topaz - No damage
Ruby - Captured - 50% remaining
Moissanite - Captured
Padparadscha - No damage
Pink Diamond - No damage
Green Diamond - No damage
Yellow Diamond - Captured - 20% remaining
Bort - Captured - 20% remaining

Taaffeíta was left without arms or legs. To repair her, using Heliodor was not entirely viable, because there is too little of her to complete her limbs. The Imperial pieces are pretty much pretty dust and then there's Padparadscha who wouldn't allow Ruby to be used. Unlike Heliodor, Bort and Yellow Diamond were much larger and stronger, so there ended up being more pieces of them left. My main idea is that they used pieces of those two diamonds to repair Taaffeite. As with Tanzanite, repair under this method would have made the awakening of Taaffeite take decades. But, the dynamics of the inclusions have changed, and part of this can be seen in how Purple Topaz partially ignored the awakened Taaffeite.

I'll address it during turns, but in summary, the active inclusions connection has become stronger. Which generated 2 things, the awakening of Chrysoberyl and the exponential increase in the speed of self-repair. They could have easily rearmed Taaffeite with unincluded taaffeite ore. So I would like to read your opinion first. Do you see Tafffeite with pieces of other gems and/or with alloys? Or do you prefer to handle a 100% pure Taaffeite, with pieces of taaffeite, but that do not necessarily retain its memory or personality completely?

>>10159
>Stop putting me in black check
Stop making it so easy for me

>your opinion
Let's see if it is something that the other gems did, the most logical thing would be for Taaffeita to simply wake up with the changes they have made to her.

With all the Fluorite stuff, I already saw some extra mineral coming, although I was thinking that I would wake up with pieces of it and be able to justify getting a dress with a slightly less clear violet. The only problem I might have with them using Yellow Diamond and Bort parts would be finding some cute ones with matching colors.

The only options that come to mind would be the pics, although the first is not the correct shade of purple, the second I wouldn't know how to justify the horns, the third doesn't always come out with the yellow bandana and the other two I feel like I would run out very quickly without enough pics.

>The parts you are missing are the legs and hair, not the legs
Yes, but I have to illustrate the change somehow. Just as beyond that I see no problem with going with that role-playing line.

>>10160
What do you say? Yes, it did rain

>>10154
She wasn't listening to you either...
>Just as Gardan lets the incidental attack on Rutilo pass, she does not explain again that she opposes his plan and that she does not intend to let him continue, but she also cannot think of how to stop it.
I put so much of myself into that pitch... Sorry.
>She feels bad, not for the gems she didn't save, the ones that were falling apart in front of her, the one she had attacked or Peridotite, but for Circita, for having treated her memories of her so carelessly, even if she isn't sure that those were the ones she tried to use to save the academy.
>Something tells him that Uranus would treat his memories of her better, even if he knew that by sacrificing them he could save many more. It is because she cannot do the same and seek her own freedom that she continues to hurt herself trying to help others. She allows herself to be convinced by those who want her to continue working for the good of others instead of living for herself, as if she had not already done enough. He will probably continue to be like this until it is impossible for him to continue giving more of himself, until he has no more left to give.
Yellow Diamond didn't live so badly...
>He looks up at the sky covered in flowers, searching for the room full of glass odds and ends that they broke on the way to the library. Although his opinion of the gem that lived there changes, he does not see himself capable of living the same as her in the future unless they leave him no alternative.
>Padparadscha enters the library shortly after, acting in a way I've never seen her act before. His desperate pleas for her to continue breaking for the sake of others, paying whatever price she has to sacrifice for it, don't make her jump into action but instead fall to her knees and hug the cracked parts she removed herself, trying to protect them in their place.
No... I want to continue fighting.

>>10155
>He remembers again something he had stopped thinking about, how he once wondered if Padparadscha also felt pressured by her position as the strongest gem at times in her life or wished she didn't have to fight or sacrifice herself anymore. He doesn't think he needs to ask her that question to know, or that it will do him any good if he's already given up on his goal of taking that title and everything that comes with it.
Clear. I always knew I was good... I don't care if you tell me Le-
>Forgetting about your relationship with all the gems of the academy and at the same time keeping good memories of them is asking too much, wanting only the good and none of the bad. Knowing with certainty what happens to those with whom she was closest is unnecessary and perhaps would go against her future purposes instead of helping her get through difficult times.
>It is difficult to understand what Padparadscha intends by saying all this or to whom he really dedicates those words. She assumes that they are for her teacher and not her, another request instead of an order, for the sake of someone else or Padparadscha herself.>He doesn't know if revealing to a reconstructed Rubí that her effort to save the academy was practically in vain is what would break her heart or seeing his student working with pyroclasts in the crust, he doesn't want to find out either. She only feels sorry that her teacher won't know about Padpa's thoughtful gesture.
>She doesn't have time to clarify the points, it's time to be taken to the cortex.
Hm... I can't see the stars underground, it's true.
>Peridotite doesn't ramble as much as other gems that are thousands of years old, but it's also no easier to understand than Tara or Avalok; talking to it is as strange as trying to talk to an android.
Oh well...
>He sees his own unconsciousness approaching in the reflection of the hard white head of a rising Emeth and does not object to it. Her head is full of thoughts about how she had abandoned the sword to look for a new job in which she would make gems suffer for millennia looking for a way to save them, changing a job in which she sacrificed herself for another one that was theoretically worse and that she can't even call a sacrifice, being the one who will make others suffer... She doesn't mind knocking some of those thoughts out of her head directly.

Did you dream about the conversation between the birds and the sheep and Leucosapphire wasn't there? How sad.

>>10149
Are we going to have double or connected shifts again soon or do you need both epilogues and extras to finish to advance to the next chapter? Because I won't be able to take turns very quickly for a while. I upload images of Zafiro that I liked but couldn't use.

>The shadow of the leaves rests on the head of Uranocircite, sometimes repelling that lack of light with its brightness, sometimes completely lowering the intensity of its illumination. Although she looks green, she is a vibrant yellow. You learned it as soon as he approached, touching both of your cheeks between the weakest and the strongest, made of pyroclast and corundum. Uranocircite spoke with a certain pain in her words, because, after realizing your decision, she could do little or nothing to retract it. According to her, it was best for you to continue until you get rid of what really tied you to. His sight was warm and his expression was tenderly transformed. After listening to you, unable to see you anymore, Uranocircite lowered her gaze slightly as she commented.
(Uranocircite) How shameless... To say something like that to someone who is not your teacher or your partner, but to a gem who was not born to love or be loved. Because you act in such a rebellious way, they end up hurting you so much... And yet!
>She criticized you again, like when you brought the communicator with you, even though she expressly wanted to see you with or without it. You still don't fully understand the contradiction in Uranocircite's words, however, it seems to be a fact that she really thinks so low of herself. The parts that Uranocircite touched on you were exactly where you received a couple of hits from Pink Diamond and Taaffeite respectively. Your head hurt, especially when Uranocircite expressed itself freely. When you exclaimed, for example, and removed his hands, you felt dizzy. Even though he had let go of your face, Uranocircite did not move away.
(Uranocircite) I... I am happy. I never imagined that my inclusions could riot so violently. ...!
>He looked at you from the front as he improved his expression with a smile. Bringing her hand to her chest, Uranocircite seemed to tremble again, although not necessarily for the same reason. From one moment to the next, she pushed herself against you. Gently, following his emotion. Uranocircite caught your arms directly, instead of crossing his underneath. Unlike Rubí, she had not practiced such close contact. You could no longer see Uranus's face, you only felt it timidly touching yours, cracking, moving away and approaching again with more care. His hair, at least, revealed the true color of his mineral, while yours changed due to the action of its light.
(Uranocircite) You look different, since the first time we met, and since you landed on the island. But not only your appearance, but the center of your inclusions also changed. Here... Leucosapphire, every time I came out of my hiding place, I saw how all the gems grew, how the whole island was different. Although I had not experienced it, the change never meant anything to me. But now it's different! I learned something important, although it's too late...
>By moving her face away and bringing it under your left shoulder, over your chest, where an animal would have its heart, Uranocircite is very careful. The center of your inclusions changed, because of your blocky half and the missing piece of your face. It is certainly in the chest and no longer in the belly, in addition to the fact that it moved slightly to the left due to the pure center of mass. Uranus told you how little he is interested in you and why he barely reacted to your growth. Uranocircite exclaimed, leaving painful echoes in your head and in front of you, although she lamented a pathetic smile, she showed sincerity and a thought.
(Uranocircite) Leucosapphire, it is possible that the world changes. It will change without mercy. But you must remember that in the form of my light... in this aura that is so harmful and that seems special to you, my desires of wanting to see you again are stored there. Even if you want to deny it, or even if it is impossible.
>The ground shakes, from the Academy, as if something very big had landed there. In your cloudy vision you can barely see the line of Emeths surrounding Chrysocolla on the ground. After all, Uranocircite shared the same wish with you. Not necessarily a certain search for freedom. Uranocircite rationalized her feelings throughout this short time, so that, contrary to how she initially complained about your words, she was able to respond in a much more powerful way.(Uranocircite) Sapphire, you stole me out of the shadows, I will thank you forever. I love you, so promise me that you will continue to shine in the dark. And that the shape of your light... Will be to guide others like me away from it. I want you to be happy, at all costs! That way, it doesn't matter if you end up forgetting me, someone much more considerate than me will show up to make sure of it.
(...)
>Uranus does not influence the real essence of gems. He didn't do it with Citrino when he converted her from Ametrino. She may have disabled several of his memories, but according to other gems, Citrine's light would always be the same before or after the incident. Uranus was clear that your memories and consciousness were fused by the time he made his promise attempt. The strange thing was that you could remember it. After the collision with the Emeth going down to the crust, you find yourself in a more than familiar environment, the interior of another Emeth. Your mineral did not conform to the common shape with resin and small bumps that marked joints, but was directly melted and adjusted to an improvised mold that Peridotite made for the upper part of your body. The Emeth doctor inside the mouth of the Emeth smelter, when he saw that you opened your eyes, he began to scream. Immediately looking in his own mouth for a transparent, sealed bag with a resinous liquid that he can place on your face. It wasn't his language, so your exit from within the repair Emeth was more like the deployment of a player. Even if you don't know exactly what a player is, you know the word. The parts Peridotite used to rebuild you don't exactly seem to be from a Crystalline Earth gem.
(Emeth) It moves, it reacts. He's alive!! He's alive!
(Peridotite) You're already awake... Maybe it's not so good, considering the situation... Hmm, I'll explain. Emeth units have an unstable inclusion core. You must influence them romantically to be able to control them completely. So bringing them together will be a task I have to do. It will be your team after all. (...) Even if they have melted you, you may still only hear their babbling. This is one of the dozens of errors that the creator left us when she integrated the inclusions into the matrix of the world... Anyway.
>After seeing you recovered, Peridotita moved on to logistical work, using a very large screen with symbols that moved inside and created interfaces. She then commented on the possibility that you may not be able to hear the Emeths properly. Although, it is something that happens to other gems, it is not a problem for you. Looking around you find a spacious and clean living room, all tinted in shades of green, gray and yellow. It looks like the main hall of the Academy, however, there is more furniture than usual and a number of strange, giant insects that mark a slightly disturbing presence. Still, the atmosphere cannot be considered unattractive, it would be elegant by standards like those of Yellow Diamond. At least the more exochrode-than-human humans aren't killing each other or distracting you from your goal. Peridotite was watching you, attentive to react to the moment in which you blinked, which was probably long, because gems hardly get into the habit of doing so. Moving alongside you, over the Emeths, and with the Peridotite Emeths he headed to two large doors in what would appear to be the main exit. From before, by looking at the windows, between the gray pillars and the pink and red lights, you could process the enormous atmosphere. When you opened the doors, what Peridotita showed you was a front garden that behind it, kept another much larger garden that was actually a city. Although you don't know exactly what city means. Your Padparadscha pieces are from two different Padparadschas, at least, in the weaker pyroclast area of ​​your cheek that simply disappeared.
(Peridotite) Welcome to the Crust! Home to 18 billion exochroid humans. This place is hundreds of times, no, thousands of times larger than the Crystalline Earth. Therefore, I will assign you a guide.

>>10158
(Purple Topaz) Taaffeite…! This isn't a trick, is it? You know I won't forgive the world if... - I...
(...)>The palms of his hands cracked by accident, when he grabbed your shoulders. Likewise the lower and upper surface of your arms. Before hugging you, Purple Topaz said strange things, as if he was waiting for your awakening to be false. After checking that, she clung to you for a few minutes. Topaz was not able to carry out what you asked of her, and the gem that was with her reacted in a sensible way, without intervening directly, she had someone else take care of it. When you first saw her, Alloclasa, you almost knew right away that this was a gem you knew and not someone who came out of nowhere. Although gray, slightly greenish, Alloclasa has a way of speaking, a patience and a temper that only reminds you of Fluorite. After introducing herself to you, in the hallway of the medical area that strangely had Andalucita absent, Alloclasa spoke about Purple Topaz.
(Alloclasa) Excuse her, please. I've needed a break for a long time. Anyway, I think she will pull herself together as quickly as possible and come see you, later in the day. Purple Topaz is extremely energetic, for our leader. It was she who reorganized the surviving Gems and Emeth units to this day…
>After the conflict, Purple Topaz who managed to protect Tanzanite behind certain android units was responsible for gathering the remaining Gems on the island, repairing them as best he could, and directed overall damage control for the Academy. Apparently, some time later, due to Fluorite's poor condition, she was chosen by the majority of surviving gems as leader for a certain time. Alloclasa told you above how there really are not many gems that have participated in such a decision. Although she did not use the exact number of gems, it seems that she wanted to touch on more important topics in her journey outside of the medical area. Many of the pillars have disappeared, and now there are only many strange arches and paraboloids that generate large windows to the outside. Alloclasa looks west when referring to pink corundum.
(Alloclasa) Padparadscha is on patrol now. So, when she returns, she can also welcome you with open arms. It's what she wants after all.
>The attitude that Alloclasa attributed to Padparadscha was not exactly one you were familiar with. Even more so considering that her patrol was what said gem took the most seriously. Not only the interior of the medical area has changed, but also the exterior of it. The room is located in the center of the Academy but is no longer connected by long, wide corridors, but rather by doors made of a black material that you could quickly classify as too molten basalt. Windows are essential for lighting, but the Academy's architecture now leaves them a little higher than normal. By pointing in that direction, Alloclasa shows you the spring sky, and in it, the moon. The one that disappeared a long time ago, but not only that one, but under its explanation, a second and third.
(Alloclasa) During the night or during the day, there is always at least one Moon that illuminates the sky. In total 7 satellites that are controlled by that entity, Sitadel Tara, who has maintained intermittent contact with us. After Varation Avalok disappears into the sky, she is more than an ally to Purple Topaz.
>Not only the existence of Sitadel Tara, but also the use of pyroclastic elements. The administration of Purple Topaz has used the best of the favors that heaven and earth can offer them, you can confirm this when they pass through an area adjacent to the main hall where there is a light blue gem, another black one and 3 identical Happys playing something with their hands. The newborn gems, Dumortierite and Rutile, have been double or triple their age since then. However, it is too early for them to show changes in their mineral. By closely observing Dumortierita you can notice that something is wrong with his appearance, with his hair that grows from his head specifically.
(Dumortierite) What?! No! I haven't lost yet. Let it be the best of 19, it's fair! Purple hasn't arrived yet. And if I have to become strong, it will be in games too!(Alloclasa) There are five such androids on the Crystalline Earth. They all obey a single leader “Emeth” who also has a good relationship with our Topaz. To tell the truth, despite being dumber and more naive than a young gem, they have been very useful. In combat, specifically, Padparadscha uses several of them as a shield.
>She tells you about a combat technique patented by Padparadscha. Not only do the Happys seem to be harmless playing alongside such young gems, but Padparadscha has also begun to use his stamina in combat. Unbecoming of an inflexible gem like that corundum. As you tour the Academy with Alloclasa, who is heading to the stairs, you can see how behind you, Fluorite finally enters where the young gems and her non-gem companions are. “Fluorite” is very cheerful for a 500-year-old gem, her actions are easily related to that of young gems. And the way she touches her long hair as soon as she is surprised is unnatural, due to the usual view you have of the former leader.
(Fluorite) I have news. Oh... Listen, Dumor, let me play too. I'll team up with Rutilo!
(Alloclasa) Pyroclast attacks have become less frequent. Because of who he used to be before, Fluorite, who now inhabits Axinite's body. Before carrying out its assimilation, it seems that it affected the inclusions of everything and everyone, modifying their properties. As a result, docking the Ametrino 12 head, on loan from Grossularia, to repair Dumortierita took only 1 year. As a result, your repair with the Yellow Diamond and Black Diamond pieces was only extended by 3 years. Likewise for pyroclasts, beings with a structure of inclusions as weak as “ashes”, they are now unviable. Thus, in exchange for a decrease in the regularity of its attacks, the Cortex attacks with much more intensity, using bombs and blocks approximately 1 or 2 times per snow-free season.
>He told you all this as they went up the stairs and as they walked down the hallway to the right in search of a way to the library or the others' rooms. You might notice some rush in Alloclase, or restlessness, depending on how the old Fluorite container reacted or not. It is no longer a secret that Fluorite is not a gem, and therefore, not only has she left the title of leader, but she has become almost an apprentice.

(1/2)

>>10158
>At that time, when Rutile appeared to harm Fluorite, she brought many pieces of Axinite in her hands. The transfer must have happened while you were inactive. So, by explaining the reason why you are so easily active now, Alloclasa finally opens a door that you know very well. From your winter years, the room where the bubbles are kept, the soft and bright one that Kunzite and Onix created. There are not as many pillows or rugs as before, it seemed like an empty room, except for the presence of another of those Happys waiting sitting on the floor. Alloclasa's voice becomes distressed as he reveals to you the real reason for reaching this room so quickly.
(Alloclase) It was because of Fluorite, Rutile and Leucosapphire that our “grace” period has been extended and we can live in better peace… But mainly thanks to another gem… Who, by the opposite force of the inclusions, managed to slow down its disintegration… Almandine, during all this time, she has remained inactive only with the desire to talk to you.
(Happy) Ade deadede Ade?
(Alloclasa) Yes, it's about her. Wait for my signal. (...) When you're ready, Taaffeita.>You still can't understand the “android” in front of you. But even if you had a sword, you couldn't do him any harm. It's something you directly verified along with an ancient gem in the past. It is true that these faces have the ability to eat in large quantities, not only did you see it with Howlite, but also with Leucosapphire during his own incident. Thus, the only way for Almandine to be in the room was if he were really inside that android whose interior seems to defy the laws of physics. After speaking to Happy, Alloclasa waited for you. And when the minutes passed, after the necessary explanations from Alloclasa, and how the interior of these androids were capable of preserving reactions and instabilities over time, he finally regurgitated her. The first thing you saw was mercury, not a single speck of square bismuth spreading to the sides or growing along Almandine. Almandine's body emerged with his clothes shining in metal, his mineral between red and black. His eyes were closed, although he was able to move very slowly, like a dying animal. You could tell as soon as you analyzed the black of its mineral, it was parts of Rutile integrated into its body. Seeing you, Almandine was disappointed.
(Almandine) Taaffeíta… You… You have the most depressing face. Will it be like this forever? How pathetic... (...) Android, I changed my mind... I prefer to see the new Fluorite, keep me in your mouth for 1000 or 2000 thousand more years.
(Alloclasa) Are you serious?
>He removed his gaze and turned to Happy again. But, after Alloclasa's question, you knew that she wasn't really choosing that. Almandine shook his head, with a slowness that seemed to belong to a Chrysocolla at half speed. Not only the veil that falls to the ground, but also, from its cracks, much of Almandine's metal leaks but does not fall. When working with smoke you know the temperature and boiling points, and the mercury in front of you is transitioning to a poisonous vapor that escapes through the window. Almandine, however, does not break because of an emotional imbalance, it does so because the mercury within him is slowly consuming his mineral. Alloclasa took Happy's hand and moved with him, behind the door, to the exit of the room.
(Almandine) You know Taaff, I never thought there could be a gem with a more losing existence than mine. But, these memories of Rutilo, no matter how many fade, just make me feel like a big joke. I... I'm sorry. For as long as I can remember, my feelings have always been contradictory...
>You understand the initial rejection you felt at his words, since Almandine's tone was similar to Rutilo's at first. Although Rutilo does not exist now and is totally Almandine, it is impossible for the second to think without having a little of her in mind. However, you know that the one who apologizes is not Rutilo, but entirely Almandine. She not only brings her hands against her body, but also in the process gathers some of the mercury that leaks out of her. You understand how incoherent Almandine can be, especially remembering the incident with Kunzita and the words she used at that time. Almandine lowered his hands and looked directly at you, the red of his mineral shining in its particular way of illuminating his surroundings.
(Almandine) I hate you, that's not going to change. But, at the same time, I always wanted to be your favorite... I have no idea what or why... But, when I saw you in pieces and Fluorita suffering so much, I just couldn't... I refused to accept that they deserved an ending like that! I didn't accept it, just as I didn't accept what happened with Kunzite. And this is the result...>Mercury forms amalgam, and during this process it absorbs metals inside. It is a process similar to what gems carry out with their silica control. However, when a gem comes into contact with mercury, there is a risk that the inclusions that contain the elements of its crystalline network will not resist the influence of mercury and its metals will be absorbed. The process expands in all directions like a lit spider web. Especially when a gem is active. The truth is that, at the rate its metal is being consumed, even before, Almandine has no way of finding new pieces that will resist the mercury corrosion or slow it down. Little by little, the small puddle of mercury at your feet becomes tinted with small islands of non-metals accumulated along with inclusions, waste and mineral gangue. The Almandine inclusions evaporate and glow briefly under the crystal's light before escaping the Academy as highly diluted, red smoke. Almandine brought his hands to his face, covering the filtration of mercury that was happening from there. Still, between his fingers, you could see not only his gaze, but also a certain smile of comfort.
(Almandine) Despite being a replaceable and miserable doll. Being able to say goodbye... It's too much, right...?

>>113573
>if it rained
It's true
>The only options that come to mind would be the ones in the pics
I don't see the first one much as it is for an 800 year old Taaffeite, maybe one of 500. The second one seems similar to Kunzite kek. I checked their pics and it seems that they have much fewer images with violet tones.
Regarding the others, I think you could specifically use the 4th, that the yellow part of her hair does not directly address her head. My recommendation is that you use it during the extra couple of turns of 300 years and then in the timeskip greater than 600 years, you could use, for example:
https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=hijiri_byakuren
Two reasons. It has a lot of pics, and this was a secret but several of the songs in the final phase of the role are exactly arrangements of Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind, song by Byakuren
And I think that his attire can also be justified by his proximity to Topacio who now runs the Academy.

This song (>>10149) is the role theme for the next thread, it is one of the songs that I have kept for a long time kek
And by the way (>>10165) everything about Almandine and Anatasa in the chapter was inspired by what I posted back (>>9876)

(>>10164) This Uranocircite is related to a topic that I will probably post later.

I have the first pic since you sent your character sheet, it was how you projected your character in long views of the role. Sometimes I compared it to the image of Alex next to it.
To choose the appearance it is important to see how Taaffeíta's personality could change over such a long period of time. During the epilogue, I stated that there is relative peace in the Academy, although I need to detail certain dynamics. I think you could use this post to make him say goodbye to his memories of Alex (>>10153) Although it was also partly a hallucination of Fluorite to pass on the parasite to you I think I went a little overboard with the human conversion and Fluorite form during those posts, I'm thinking of revisiting it later.

By the way, the third pic is the appearance of Purple Topaz for the third run of the role. I had already teased it before in a post, I think

>>10163
>Will we have double or connected shifts again soon?
There won't be any for a while. Although, I'm going to open spots, so depending on whether someone joins in the Crust or the Crystalline Earth there probably will be some.
>do you need both epilogues and extras to finish to advance to the next chapter?
Yes, they each have one turn left in the epilogue. And then two extras each as well. During the extras I will be preparing everything for the third part of the role.

>Aldo
I assume you're going to continue using Leucozafiro and what happened after taking Rosa's job, right? Both can change characters if they want. I would still use Taaffeite and Leucosapphire as NPCs. Whatever the case, I will post the file in a few days, along with some statistics such as the remaining gems, or the names of the chapters.

>Aldo2
There are approximately 16 gems left on the Island, half of them, but I went a little overboard.

>>10164
Is it so obvious that's what the word is used for? Hmm...
>Urano's criticisms and cutting or direct words were already something I knew about her, hearing her speak the way you would expect her to was just funny or comforting in some way, it was so her. He didn't take comments more serious than this as attempts to hurt her for no reason in the atmosphere and he could hardly see them that way now that he was holding her in what could only be a loving gesture.
I'm serious, I feel good about you. No other gem makes me feel this way, or as much as this. I would like to feel like this for much longer... But I also don't want to ruin it by dragging on these things that I can't stop thinking about.
>Carrying thoughts of guilt, whether they belonged to her or not, would end up bittering any life she had with Circita, in the worst case she could even blame her for letting her abandon the rest of her sisters when she could do more for them or start hating her for thinking that she never cared that much about the academy, even though Uranus only defended her from the demands of Avalok and others like him because he cared about her, he was right that she would continue to hurt herself for others. Even now, technically, he was hurting himself to make Circita happy, and it made her happy to do it too.
>In the end I wouldn't be free from the academy if I carried those feelings all the time and I wouldn't be happy either. You would have to believe that this was the best option and just keep going, hoping that things turned out better than you could imagine.
You too... have changed. You look brighter outside a cave... and up close.
>He struggled to remain smiling and maintain a calm voice that did not show the pain or vulnerability he felt. He had formed a bad habit of appearing weak in front of the less tough gems whom he had to protect and show a good face.
>He may have changed in appearance but I didn't feel like he changed as much in character. He hadn't been able to change fast enough to leave the academy without regrets or to turn his back on Uranus. She still felt unsure about both decisions, unable to reason which would truly be the best of the two.
Me too...
>He didn't want to risk saying a longer sentence that he couldn't finish, it was difficult to concentrate and he wanted to dedicate all his attention to Circita at that moment so he could remember him as he asked.
>He carefully tried to raise his hand to place it in the same place where Uranus touched it, to show that he did not mind being approached or approaching her. If he was happier out of the shadows, I wanted him to stop hiding. Even if it were unlikely, maybe Circita could also find someone else to get close to without fear of harm, or they would both find a way to be this close again in one of those fantasy futures.
(...)
>She has a strange memory like a dream, along with other less fantastic or pleasant ones about how at some point, when she still hated herself and her color, she wanted to use Uranocircite to change her just like Ametrino. He also remembers other thoughts that were not lived experiences and it is not so difficult for him to remember.
Circita loved me and wanted me to be happy, so I'll have to be.
>If she is going to keep a single memory that motivates her to continue, she hopes it is that one. Although it is probably the opposite of what Circita would do, if she interprets that wish as an order or request, she is more capable of working to fulfill it to make another gem she still cares about happy. As he is now, he needs all the motivation he can get to be happy.
Has it been a long time? How many years?
>Forget that for Gardan a short time can be more than a century and clarify later. Before examining the place where she is, she looks at herself, looking for any changes in her body due to the parts she lost.
Does light reach down here or do they produce it?
>Part of her self-assessment is to check the amount of brightness that she herself emits or that her body reflects. He knows that some gems remain active under the crust, however the image of it as a dark place is too deep-rooted.
It looks bigger... Rosa didn't want to see more gems suffer or make them disappear. He told me that if I came down to talk to you he could find another way to end this, I think... Have I already said that?>She scrapes the top of her head with her non-prosthetic fingers, as is customary when she feels unsure of what she is saying.
I still don't understand what exactly he wanted me to do, I think I'll have to learn and search a lot if the place is that big.
>She still does not feel the courage to be more expressive with her words or actions, she finds it difficult to be so even if the environment is not as terrible as she imagined. He is happy when he has pleasant company, that of Gardan and the Emeths is not at the level of the gems or even Tara.

>>10167
I don't think I'm going to change characters or pics again. I have only one backup look if I had to do the latter, but I'd rather stick with what I have.

>>10165

Topac... It's real, don't worry

>Taaffeita was still somewhat sleepy after waking up
>And the hug came too suddenly to react
>By the time he blinked again, Purple Topaz was already clinging to her
>Which made Taaffeita stare at him with a stupefied face.
>Normally she would stay still or make as little contact as possible to avoid making a dent.
>However, his hands moved of their own accord in search of touch and soon he found himself giving a hug
>With a comforting smile he spoke, and let his chin rest delicately on Purple Topaz's shoulder.
>Without breaking position, he remained that way until the other gem felt that it was enough.

Leader? I would never have imagined her in such a position...

>After Purple Topaz left he was finally able to stand up
>Walking after sleeping so much was problematic for him, not only that but his own weight felt different
>It didn't take him long to notice the length of his hair as he leaned against the edges of the box.
>Finally regaining his balance he saw a gem both unknown and known.
>Alloclasa, he had heard that name before, although this is the first time he has seen her in person
>Her mere presence made it clear that the academy had undergone great changes during her absence.
>And his words only confirmed that belief
>Unable to believe what he was being told, he asked for confirmation and then turned to where Purple Topaz left.
>With a discouraged look he stared in that direction and thought about how much he must be going through.

Ha... sorry. The Padparadscha I know wouldn't do that kind of thing, she would greet me with a sword and check that my skills haven't gotten rusty. Alloclasa, you met a different Padparadscha, didn't you? I'd like to hear about that later if you don't mind.

>An involuntary laugh left his mouth as he thought of Padparadscha giving him a hug.
>He delicately brought his hand to his mouth and covered it and then apologized.
>The small lift of his lips and the shine in his eyes showed that he was still laughing inside.
>Without losing that expression she began to remember with some nostalgia the Padparadscha that she knows
>As her teacher, she has great respect for her and of course she would never laugh like this in her face.
>Checking her skills is something she also wishes to do, so Padparadscha's offer would be more than welcome.
>However, Alloclasa knows a Padparadscha older than the one she has seen and that is a topic she is curious about.
>Although knowing that this was not the time to talk about those things he decided to wait until later

He asked me if they are still there...

>His eyes wandered throughout the academy as he analyzed every little difference he found.
>The paths he traveled so long ago felt foreign, to the point of feeling like it was his first time here.
>Everything regarding Tara and the rest of the entities from the sky made Taaffeita look up with a complicated expression
>Knowing that they can still count on Tara as an ally was gratifying to hear
>However, seeing so many orbs hovering around the sky made her feel uncomfortable because of how unnatural it was.
>She extended her arm up as far as she could and muttered something to herself before lowering her gaze to the ground.
>Without commenting anything about it or clarifying anything to Alloclasa, he continued with the rest of the route.A while ago I suggested that it would be good to give Fluorite a break... Seeing her having fun like this is... nice, but at the same time I can't help but feel uncomfortable about it...

>A simple glance at his hair and limbs was all he did upon learning of his new mineral parts
>She extended her long hair back and with that simple gesture she put aside any possible conversation regarding the topic.
>If Alloclasa paid attention to Taaffeita's face, he would notice that he does not present any grimace of dissatisfaction, annoyance or even sadness.
>The only "emotion" he could discern would be a certain indifference, which was present as soon as he heard about the loss of more gems
>Where there was no such thing was how I watched Fluorite and Dumortierite have fun with the Happys
>Fluorita, who served as leader for so long, looked so different that I barely recognized her.
>It wasn't just his looks, but also his personality and way of carrying himself.
>When I saw her I didn't notice any trace of the older gem and I knew that she once was, instead I only saw someone "younger" than her.

>>10166

Peace... Nothing you say sounds like peace to me...

>With some sadness he shook his head when he heard Alloclasa call this "peaceful"
>The pyroclast attacks may have decreased, but just like before they are still present
>The fact that they have restructured the academy and changed their combat methods shows all the danger that has existed
>That all of this has happened in such a short time only makes this problem more aggravating.
>Taaffeita's concern was exchanged for confusion when Alloclasa mentioned Almandine
>His lost look made clear his lack of understanding as to why he wanted to talk to her of all the gems.

I'm ready

>I knew beforehand thanks to Tara that not all Happys were dangerous
>And just a few moments ago he could see how they were even able to play with the younger gems without a problem
>However, having one of these Happy in front of her, she couldn't help but step back a little and put herself on guard.
>Even after regaining her composure she refused to move forward again and just stood in her place.
>The distance was only a few steps, it should be more than enough to see whatever they are going to show him
>He rearranged his hair a little before answering and then gave Alloclasa permission to continue.
>What he saw next made Taaffeita's face look most pitiful.

Almandine...

>He remained silent for a few seconds, just observing without even being able to express a word.
>When he was finally able to raise his voice, he proceeded to take the steps that he previously refused to take.
>He crouched down to Almandine's height and listened carefully to what she had to say.
>It didn't matter if all he wanted to do was insult her or complain to her, Taaffeita didn't care about that.
>Seeing her in this deplorable state, he couldn't help but feel guilty that things had ended like this.
>In the past he preferred to ignore Almandine's problems to focus on his own and this seemed like a consequence of that

I'm sorry, I've ignored you for much of your life and I don't know too much about you to be able to call you my favorite. Still, if it's any consolation, there is one thing I can say with complete certainty, and that is... You have become a splendid member of our community! (..) Almandine, I know it's a little late for this, but I hope that, from now on, you will be able to trust me and let me listen to everything you have to say. You don't need to hold back, whether for good or bad. I am here for you whenever you need someone to listen to you.

>Taaffeita has been worrying about herself for too long while ignoring the problems of others
>Almandine was by far the one who suffered the most from that cold treatment that
>It was a shame it took him so long to realize such a truism.
>However, now that he knows, he does not intend to repeat that mistake again.
>With a calm voice and a smile that sought to provide as much comfort as necessary Taaffeita spoke>Congratulating her not only for retaining Rutilo, but for all the work she did even before that
>He extended his hand with the aim of making contact with Almandine, but the large amount of Mercury denied any approach.
>Looking straight into her eyes he managed to glimpse a small part of her face clean enough to touch.
>She carefully placed her hand on Almandine's cheek and asked him to please count on her from now on.

>>10167
If this mini time skip of 3, 5 years is going to be a few shifts, I suppose there is no problem with using BB until before the next one.

>his attire can be justified by the proximity to Topacio
I had thought about this other cute touhou to do something like that, but it has too many colors for it to fit

>I have the first pic since you sent the file
Yep originally planned to use it at some point as well. But since I started pulling out hair in the first timeskip, it didn't make sense to use it then and the second time I changed the monkey, very little time had passed. Now with all the extra parts I feel like it's going to be more and more complicated to use.

>how Taaffeíta's personality could change
About that, could you give me a couple of extra turns apart from the extra ones in which I have dreams with memories of Yellow Diamond and Bort. Since they are dreams, I don't think I'm going to answer them, but it would help to give me a better idea of ​​what I want to do.

>says goodbye to his memories of Alex
Technically that's what I'm doing. I put it very briefly because I didn't know how long that line of memories was going to continue, but the idea is that Taaffeita is getting rid of the illusion of getting Alex back to focus on the young women and the rest who are still here.

>>10163
I have a vague memory of a dream from yesterday where Taaf's head was jumping like that cursed Touhou meme, only it was drawn in a style similar to the one in this video. Next to this was someone whose shape I am not able to visualize right now, I only know that it was blue, it may have been Leucosapphire.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKk62TykOUg▾

>>10168
>Unlike the interior of the Emeth, the interior of the building they were in felt luxurious. Other places in the Academy felt like this, such as Fluorite's office, or the Garden lobby, even the medical area after Yellow Diamond started working there. These impressions are nothing more than memories that you will not be able to contrast again. The place you are now can only be defined as the base of Peridotite, one of many, where not only the sky is pink, but also the earth. Seeing to the sides or behind towards the horizon is impossible, the base of Peridotite is too displaced towards the empty cliff towards the gigantic city. Gardan is quick to answer your question.
(Peridotite) 13 years passed. Rosa used to be in charge of gem repairs. But in his absence, someone else had to figure out how to remove the weak pyroclastic material from your head and melt the corundums into your body. I imagine you must be more skillful now. Try writing a nice message here.
>He gave you a kind of obsidian tablet. Although, it was much stronger than obsidian. It resembled one of the things Rutilus used to control his pyroclasts, but this one was a little smaller. Inside the device, known symbols each illuminated in a box. It wasn't very intuitive. Peridotita did not soon answer your question about the sky, she seemed interested in that other statement, about the pseudo mission that Rosa gave you. All this while the ground fell away by itself and they began to descend to the city.
(Peridotite) And did you find it? The main job of the Remote Rescue Unit is precisely to find a not-so-distant solution to save our exochrode humans. That seems fine to me.
(Peridot) B-welcome.
(Peridotite) Look, Rosa's replacement, this is Peridot, my silicoclaceo self. He can sing, dance, do cartwheels. Isn't she cute?>From below came another platform, this one with a gem whose appearance was similar to Peridotite, Diopside, and even Dioptase. The platform leveled at the height of yours and descended at the same speed as yours, it had connected. Peridotite introduced you to the guide she spoke of earlier, although, it was as if she had simply delegated the task as if Tara had spawned another little Tara to speak to you. No matter how you looked at it, it was a fact that Peridot was different from Gardan, for the simple fact of being a gem and not a phenotype. When Gardan said goodbye, returning to the side of the platform that began to rise for her, Peridot had to take the reins of the tour. He didn't do any dance, he just took on a serious tone and started laying out Cortex data for you.
(Peridot) The Cortex is divided into the Metacortex and the Subcortex. Exochroid humans change physiognomy depending on altitude, pressure and temperature. The Subcortex is the ideal territory to maintain their human form, however, most of them are found in the Metacortex, where they take the form of animal aberrations, mainly insects.
>You had seen them, they were inside the main Gardan base, although they could not speak. The Upper Crust, the one you don't see completely, is described as complete disorder, a place where only someone like Gardan and his control over large-scale silica could prevail. When you go down to the Subcortex things seem simpler and you can see them. Several groups of exochrode humans are strategically arranged at the base of the elevator to receive them. They appear to be solemn and orderly, and despite their insect parts, they look gem enough to consider a mistake in their appearance. The color of its skin, flesh, or exoskeleton ranges from deep red, pale white to ground coffee.
(Peridot) Daily battles take place in the Metacortex, leading large groups of humans to Annihilation. Where Annihilation is the result of the total removal of an exochrode human's body and the release of its inclusions into the air. The free inclusions take the form of a pink vapor, and glow corresponding to the number of humans annihilated. The brightness generated by these inclusions when they condense is the light on which we, silicoclacean beings, can feed.
>Although they had descended into the subcrust, they were still over all the structures and over the entire city itself. Peridot had to invite you to a kind of vehicle, similar to a stain, that moved across the terrain, transforming its surroundings into metal. He could even do it with the air and only in this way could you explain that they descended to one of the cracks in the city, where the houses and streets of the exochrode humans are, stacked one against the other, vertically. The floor of the Subcortex is green, while the “sky” or ceiling of the Metacortex is pink. Finally, they explained to you that the main source of light you receive is the result of the conflict of hundreds of humans.
(Peridot) They choose to do that because… Being a cloud of memories is a much easier way to traverse eternity.
>She is not as callous as Rutile, highly sensitive like Rosa or strange like Gardan, Peridot reacts to the decision of the humans above with some regret, but is grateful for the light on her. The only vehicle that transforms air into metal is yours, well, when it comes to means of transportation, those of the exochrode humans are much more sophisticated and at the same time, they are nothing you have seen before. The same with their homes, or structures where they reside. Although they live in a place with a honeycomb layout, there are enough openings to generate free spaces in which you could easily place 5 Academies and several Gardens. Peridot let you appreciate the place for an extra moment before continuing.
(Peridot) We, the gems of the Cortex, come here by many means. Abducted from the Crystalline Earth long ago, or saved from outcrops in inhospitable places. Sometimes some fall from the Caldera into the Metacortex and become engulfed in chaos. The second and third were the case of Pink Diamond and Rutile respectively.>It's nothing you would have had any idea about before. Rutilus herself mentioned that the continuous existence of the gems on the Island is due to a huge mechanism they had in the Cortex, and that Gardan probably controls. The Caldera appears to be the counterpart of the Accidents on the Crystalline Earth. Pink Diamond, she was like one of the gems you saw long ago flying through the sky with Tara, unable to move much, think or do anything. Peridot continues explaining about the gems.
(Peridot) Although the number of gems in the Crust is less than that in the Crystalline Earth, the majority here do not actively choose to make a “change”. We can participate in the battles of the Metacortex, rule the humans of the Subcortex, or live fully among them for centuries. Pink Diamond and Rutile were special for wanting to save humans, just like Peridotite wants to.
>The vehicle's speed slowed and when it did, you could hear how several of the surrounding exochroid humans could recognize Peridot easily. Many tried to go with you, failing in the process, but incredibly the majority acted with a certain admiration. Not all of the gems in the Cortex are under Gardan's direct orders, but Peridot shows you directly how she appears to be a figure among humans. Creatures that do not live long, die and live again with diffuse memories. Peridot, however, is not proud of it, she lowers her gaze as she says.
(Peridot) I still don't know what separates a conformist gem, like me, from you who choose to suffer on your own following Peridotite. But-, millions of humans and I are sorry for what happened 13 years ago! So at least I understand that your fixation is not in vain.
>He raised his hand to his chest and began to talk about what happened. That change in the sky, which was related to the strange way inclusions seem to work now, Peridot was referring to. That Rutile and Pink Diamond did not mention Peridot in advance only suggests that Peridotite's plan was not contemplated. However, Peridot seems to have faith in those gems and in you, who is now one of them. You can see her expression change for the first time in front of you, smiling gratefully. This must have been the norm with so many exochroid humans responding in favor of the small break that Peridot provided during the journey. There was something bothering your hands for a long time, that thing that Peridotite gave you and that was used for writing. Peridot explains the device as one for long-distance communication, but does not explain the vibration.
(Peridot) That's a phone. I forgot to explain, sorry.
[Peridotite] Hello, I think it was inappropriate to call you Rosa's replacement before. I will refer to you as Leucosapphire from now on. Of course, if you don't want me to call you White Diamond. (...) That was a joke. According to the information Rutilo left in our database, you used to have an identity disorder. It's not relevant to our plans, don't worry. Just remember, physically or mentally, humans break down very quickly. Don't lose your head down there.

>>10169
>The Academy has not only changed, but it seems to be growing. Although now gems like Alloclase or Fluorite call it School. It was difficult to observe the surroundings with the high windows, although it was easier to observe the sky. When you climbed the stairs to the second floor you could see part of the exterior of the School. It was under construction, one that covered large areas and land. It was as if someone had ruined Fluorite's sense of compactness and let the Academy grow without limit. And beyond the School, there were plantations, between large flat areas covered in water and land that Purple obviously tended to grow flowers. Alloclase is as calm as you knew her when she was Fluorite. Axinita too, was someone fun, but at the same level of responsible. Alloclasa responded to your concern and your request, at the same time.
(Alloclasa) The little Padparadscha I knew came back very old, bitter and sentimental. Things are strange to me too. When I stopped being Fluorite, I... I remember that time as if I had had a terrible cycle of dreams, where several were sad, others were hopeful, and a few were violent... I know that Axinita is going through something like that now, so making her look happy is very important to me. (...) I understand.
>Although she has no memories of her time as a Fluorite, Alloclasa highly esteems whoever has to carry that weight now. What Alloclasa says is something that a strange Fluorite told you at the last minute, aware of its truncated existence. None of the Alloclase or that strange Fluorite seems to be in Axinite now. And when mentioning that they were still being assaulted by pyroclasts, Alloclasa responds in short and nodding. (...) Before stopping attacking Fluorite, Rutile was interrupted by a direct attack from an alloy as poisonous as mercury. Even if she hadn't merged with Almandine, she would have no way of returning from the status she had accumulated during the assault. In a way, not having completely destroyed Rutile helped Almandine, so that she can have more minutes before the alloy consumes her. Her eyes seem to melt, they are not white like those of the other gems, but the heat inside modified the quartz of her false eyes and combined them with her mineral, darkening them. You are aware that she can see you, but sometimes Almandine looks away on purpose.
(Almandine) Kunzita wanted me to become that. For many, many years. Am I really? Why can't I stop feeling a torrent of unpleasant emotions then? I think I would have preferred to give up with her. (...) Always? It seems to me that... You are blind.
>She couldn't say the last sentence straight away, it was as if she had gone inactive for half a second, and then she reactivated herself. Mercury separates the metal from other elements and in its amalgam, the way it damages gems is by removing fundamental parts of them, externalizing material without inclusions and leaving behind concentrated material with inclusions. This may be a perfect reaction, but the truth is that mercury, in its volatility, when it evaporates, takes with it too many inclusions that cannot be recovered. It's as if during each release of smoke you lose dozens of memories and your arms shrink, unable to control the reaction. Isolating the reaction is the way to counteract this, however, during their brief combat Almandine not only covered herself entirely in mercury, but lost her mind for a brief moment, regaining it by guiding her own alloy, dangerously. His face is burning, a result of the reaction. And what little resin she has on her is melting in your hand as she speaks with difficulty.
(Almandine) Talking to you was so stressful, until now... I think it was fun watching you struggle with the snow... And it was also fun watching Dioptasa trip over the books. It was exciting to escape that occasion with Crisocola. And feeling the warmth of a gem, for the first time… Although that felt so sad afterwards. (...) If only I had the opportunity... to go back and do things differently. If only I had been born as a taaffeite...>Almandine finally relented, being honest in what she found your voice and manner to be so annoying. Confused as to why not right now. She was honest in that she remembered piece by piece part of her time at the Academy, at the same time that she lost them and the mercury consumed the main connections of her body. Almandine tried to raise his right hand to touch your forearm, but the alloy itself caused it to fall apart and fall halfway, splashing some of your clothes with the metal. It was like this with the rest of his body, such as his feet and legs that were in direct contact with the mercury. The iron and aluminum inside him emerged not only as metallic residues, but also from his face, as the result of his eyes trying to absorb their contents. When gems break, the eyes act as an external agent and can create more breaks. Almandine said, as he lost them and his sight, he became covered in more and more debris.
(Almandine) W-what a shame... Don't tell that to anyone... (...) ...
(...)
>The garden grew. It was strange, because unlike the rest of the Academy, this one had not undergone an extreme change, but only an expansion. Remembering what exactly had happened, you could figure it out. The pyroclasts' assault was a frontal attack and the garden was behind. If Purple stayed in the garden then she could easily protect herself from the assault. When Almandine was reduced to half of what it was, along with the pieces of Rutile that suffered the same fate, Alloclasa appeared again to deal with the situation. Along with that Happy and Andalucita who strangely didn't say anything when she saw you. Purple Topaz appeared, repaired, and it was she who completed the count that Alloclasa started a while ago.
(Purple Topaz) Bort, Yellow Diamond, Moissanite, Ruby, Heliodor 50, Almandine, Carnelian, Almandine, Citrine, Aragonite, Anatase. Each and every one-! They did their job protecting the Crystalline Earth…
>Purpura's voice broke at a certain point. It was clear, when Fluorita lost 4 gems she felt terrible to the point that she could not continue without the help of Andalucita. Topaz is strong, as are the several gems who directly or indirectly defended the Academy. Those on the list that you had not seen fall directly were the last 3. Grossularia was next to Citrino, so she could be assisted by the second easily. And the last time you heard from Anatasa and Aragonitus it was because a young gem like Antofilita was in danger. They too, although their hardness was one of the lowest. Purple approached with her hands clasped in front of her.
(Purple Topaz) But that's not all... Although we have recovered the weapon that Rutile used to destroy Imperial Topaz. We still haven't found a way to repair it. Uranocircite disappeared, and according to the Emeths, it was absorbed to a location much further away than where Leucosapphire was once found. And Leucosapphire... Padparadscha saw how she voluntarily agreed to be kidnapped by that Peridotite.
>He ended by explaining for each of these gems whose disappearance covered unusual conditions. Your companion vanished once again, as did your current companion. The preemptive blow that you once dealt to Leucozafiro seems to have great merit now. Although, this is not necessarily the best example of comfort. Purple Topaz left the bad news behind and focused on what was just facts. Alloclasa explained to you previously, how, Almandine used the moment in which she was most lucid to detail key information that she physically took from Rutilo. This was clear after seeing the maroon girl disappear.
(Purple Topaz) Almandine gave us information stored in Rutilo's memories. And “Pink Diamond” who is locked up and guarded by Green Diamond has confirmed the same information. Down in the Crust, the gems of the island are used as… compost.>Purple mentioned Pink Diamond, who according to Rutile's information was nothing more than another Padparadscha with a false name. Thus, it was much more relieving to know that she was being limited by the remaining gem with the highest hardness, Green. You noticed an unpleasant feeling as soon as Purple Topaz mentioned the last thing. She explained to you in the next few seconds, how in the Cortex, the captured gems are not necessarily cut up piece by piece to return them intact to the Academy. Before that, its inclusions are removed and used to destroy hundreds of organic, human lives. Purple's analogy is accurate, since only the remains of organic matter are useful to satisfy small worms. Purple waited until they were alone for a reason. She mentions her.
(Purple Topaz) Keeping secrets was never good for Fluorite. But, announcing this, the gems that remain here if they do not collapse, they will want to stop everything, at any cost. (...) The information that Pink Diamond gave us, the power of Sitadel Tara on our side, the collaboration of the Emeths and their submission, has opened up a possibility for us, and that is... to attack the Cortex directly.
>Purple should have presented the news as an opportunity, offering hope to recover the other gems. But after saying, Topaz looked slightly unstable. She took a seat, and waited for you to sit next to her. Just as they once celebrated their awakening by waiting in the garden hall. However, Purple does not have the calmness to sing a song. She determines what was the goal of the pyroclasts for so long. Detailing a perverse cycle that many gems have been a part of, finally aware of it.
(Purple Topaz) The enemy wants Fluorite, Axinite, to suffer in unimaginable ways. And in the process, you and I-!, and everyone we know and love, even those who haven't been born yet... I-it's not something I can allow! I don't want it... (...) But I also don't want to be the leader who sent innocent gems into a battle from which they couldn't return.
>He went from denial and hatred to pain. Once again, just like in the past when they kept a big secret from Fluorite, Purple Topaz shows fear. Fluorite cannot resent the responsibility of the fallen gems, she is now a completely different gem. But with Purple Topaz it is different. Because, having control of the Academy, his decisions have a direct impact on the future. Purple lowered her hands, from her head to the wooden floor that makes up the stairs. And from the stairs to meet your hands to shake your head and close your eyes. His desire for you to become a teacher and perhaps yours are also in conflict.
(Purple Topaz) And no matter how I look at it... To think that I have to heartlessly train a generation of gems to safeguard our happiness, it eats away at my heart. (...) Like this... Day after day, I waited... For you to decide that for me. For you to give me an answer. Because I can't do anything without you, Taaffeíta...
>She finally dropped onto your shoulder, not resorting to her arms for support or catch you. Unlike the first hug she gave you, this contact was not as noble as she would like it to be. Purple Topaz's dilemma is clear, and as a leader, she wants to do something different than just wait for someone to succeed her and for the enemy to continue kidnapping more and more gems. Probably, even before the conversation, she had already taken a step towards ending or trying to end the conflict. It was evident just by seeing the Happys so intense.

End of Glaze part 2! Or it will be when you respond to these turns
>>10172
This turn it was my turn, twice. And to think there will be more
>>10168
The topic of this turn (>>10164) was https://youtu.be/00fXmnJxy20?si=57lcsLgkMxnCtGlt▾
Tomorrow (today) night I will answer everything meta. They can make more meta, apart from the meta they already made. And then more.

>>10170
>extras in which he has dreams with memories of Yellow Diamond and Bort
Yes, no problem. I have some ideas. Most likely, it will end up connecting with the remaining gems on the island, I'm talking about Green Diamond and Chrysoberyl.

>Taaf jumped like that cursed Touhou meme
Kek now you also dream in different black styles.It wasn't a dream, but I had the idea of ​​making a drawing of the enemies, like Rutile and Pink Diamond and Emeth together. And then an animation of Axinite's hair color changing to light blue with real movement. I didn't do it because I didn't think it was integrated into the shifts.

And speaking of art. >>10171
>Hundreds of exochroid humans
>None appear
I am using an AI like Anatasa to make the pics of them, some will interact with Leucozafiro. I don't use images of insect people because there aren't many and not all of them are pleasant to look at kek But, I think I'm reaching a tolerable middle ground. I already spent all the credits in two accounts on that page, I have to use 3 more

Some comments
>>10164
>By moving his face away and bringing it under your left shoulder, over your chest, where an animal would have its heart
This is the description of feeling heartbeats. Only, sometimes it is difficult to write human gestures considering that they are kek gems

>>9796
>I'm proud to be white.
At the time this made me laugh a lot kek to the point that I remember it until now. It took me by surprise because Sapphire's dialogue at that moment was serious.

>>10172
>the weapon that Rutile used to destroy Imperial Topaz. We still haven't found a way to repair it.
Syntax error. There is no problem with the weapon, Imperial Topaz is the one that cannot return.

>It was evident just by seeing the Happys so intense
And here I ran out of characters, although it read 11999, I don't know why it was cut off. It said "Happys so integrated into gem activities" OR "So integrated to the point that they have fun with gems" Something like that.

>>10148
The last pic was one I was going to use in a spin-off role I had planned at this point, during part 3, or after Glaze ends. Now I doubt he's going to do it, but the theme of that role was basically all centered around humanity before the transfiguration, and Fluorite's memories.
Third pic. I was going to play it at various times and it was going to be a role that would get very dense in some parts. And I was going to give some context to phenotypes like Gardan, Tara, and Avalok.
Since that role is ruled out, Fluorite's background has changed quite a bit.

>>10171
>dtp
This was a preliminary appearance for Dioptase. I got a lot of pics with glasses, but the feeling the monkey gave me didn't correspond to the Dioptase I wanted to roleplay.

I'm going to make the list of surviving gems, the list of chapters, and I think also a list of songs and their meanings. Let's see if I remember more things I wanted to comment on during.
After that I will open quotas and post the new card.

And I think I'll need images for the new thread later. It was false that he had everything covered. Now I'm in a bind. (I have an image but posting it depends on how exactly I am going to approach part of Leucozafiro's story in the future, and it has consequences on Taaffeíta)

https://youtu.be/WTDMB2QiuTU?si=UVo6F6Buja1Hud_4▾The beginning of this song is basically Rutilo, with the fact that he took Leucozafiro (by accident) and the reunion he had with Taaffeíta (audio only). Much of the rapture was based on this song, with the battle that took place next to the lavender field. And lavenders themselves are related to Taaffeite. Anatasa planted many of them when she was in charge of the flower field. The lament is related to Purple Topaz, the shadows to the pyroclasts. The choirs would become the voices of the exochrode humans. And everything about the princess, the knight and other mystical elements was an anchor for the canceled role I mentioned above. And then things are repeated like rain erasing things and love.

https://youtu.be/Zja5mILOn3o?si=JvJMP1eiJXFC6opN▾This involves Rutile and Leucosapphire. Much of it is related to Rutile's words to Fluorite, and all of the uncertainty is on the part of Leucozafiro when they took her away. I like that they mention swords. I had a discarded idea of ​​Leucosapphire's weapon transforming up there, although, they were not going to have a real impact in combat. From minute 3 onwards it is an almost direct dialogue from Rutilo, both for the brief contact he had with Leucozafiro, and the future he would try to have with Fluorite. Hellfire for Crust status and particles for inclusions. And all about Fluorite's memories after they are overwritten, especially now that she is Axinite. Shangri-La was going to be a name for the Atmosphere because of Tara, but it was a bit out of place.

https://youtu.be/XdBaS_GTTnA?si=RHrgi5ZOxH4SINKX▾This song for me describes the initial Sapphire. It relates to my initial plans to, after they become companions, separate Sapphire and Taaffeite, but still be united in some way. Words like dissolve relate to inclusions and resin, and then depth to Crust. That's how it works. And there are phrases taken directly from there, like some of Rubí's expressions. Said to Leucozafiro or Padparadscha. The thing about telling secrets referred to the Truth that Rutilo told in heaven. A part of me thought that Sapphire would react innocently to meeting that gem, I don't know why kek And then there is reference to the reappraisal of the appearance that Sapphire had afterwards.

https://youtu.be/UggO16V62PY?si=qFbRexRVTMhPyRda▾This song is totally Rutilo's, with his desire to literally disappear. There is still some of the background of Rutile and Fluorite that I am holding back along with the origin of their motivations. Possibly easier to approach now that Leucosapphire is in the Cortex.

https://youtu.be/dRfdBd88EO8?si=6qHb6oUa4tJWZF-C▾https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_%EF%BC%BBSiO2%EF%BC%BD%E3%81%AE%E7%9E%B3
I only posted it because the title said crystal, and it relates to the crystal eyes of gems. At the time I didn't have much science. But now it's the topic of Fluorite (Axinite)

https://youtu.be/5IAtdx0IZwA?si=_dQVc1KPJ5nz4dqW▾At the time I decided to read a lot of Chinese and Indian shit to do everything about the Atmosphere and the background of the Nimbireos. It is reflected in the names of the Emeths according to Tara. And it will also be reflected later in the Cortex. Because, when I made Glaze I was very into Stream Greentea to the point that I almost wanted to make that world a prequel to this one. And it still could be, because I didn't put anything fantastic into it. But there's a reason why that role wasn't liked, and I suspect it was because it was bland.

https://youtu.be/T-XK6_MMtME?si=h6A-j3Qm2IstfK-K▾https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BCCompletely made of Leucosapphire. It literally starts with "I am white, white, white, totally white" kek The key words in these and other songs are the name Gardan Siti, Literally Garden City, and then Sitadel, Citadel in the sky for Tara, and Variation for Avalok. Where variation is exactly what the RosaRutilo group was looking for with so many generations of Fluorite. But back to the song. The strange passage of time for the Atmosphere is mentioned. And then how much Leucozafiro saw the stars above. Also, for some reason, I thought that Leucosapphire was going to be drawn to Taaffeite's eyes of a different kek color. And finally the drowning thing is related to Uranus, in some way.

https://youtu.be/Rf9ppDaIxAI?si=HjyI0SEUQaW8_y5_▾https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_%E6%81%8B%E3%83%8E%E8%9F%B2
This theme is special, it is Purple Topaz. Purple is a character that collapses on her own, although only in the face of really adverse situations. Different from Anatasa who did it for trifles. It is important that the second does it for small details. But going back to Purple, I like that the words soft and flowers are used. Where flowers is not just to refer to the garden. Literally "flowers that do not wither" is written in the introduction of this thread and refers to gems. (And this also has a certain relationship with the real origin of the gems) (And I just remembered that I don't have the slightest idea what kind of introduction I will make for the next thread) The flowers are strictly related to the inclusions, that's why the sky flower field that was directly the total transformation of the inclusions throughout the cosmos. Included here

https://youtu.be/zZZyzaaVlyo?si=QKPM8X62ozpF3fPF▾This is Fluorite. And with space things I was also going to refer to the past history of the role that required humans to have developed enormously to allow certain stars to be enormous machines. It rests partly on what Fluorita later says to Taaff, about the inaudible sounds he hears when he reaches his period of daze. And then with the Impure Flow part, Celestial, it related directly to Tara and Avalok.

https://youtu.be/6BgHPt9x7bA?si=6RJ6eia5DyWxCBzq▾This theme is Almandine. Although I relate some parts to things from the Cortex. The majority is the general feeling at the loss of Kunzite. And another key word for the topics I upload is to relate Smoke with Taaffeíta kek even if it is obvious. And about illusions, it is the real name that Kunzite gave to the reconstructions of others in metal. And the part about the minute with 45 is something that Almandine would clearly say with all the hatred etc. And there is another keyword that includes Rails and Roads that I can't reveal yet due to spoilers for future songs ayy. Then what happened in minute 3 is Leucozafiro and the Atmosphere that happened at the same time.

And by the way, the Almandine plot was completely improvised, almost at the last minute, because when I stayed with the character, I really didn't know what to do.

https://youtu.be/yx4b7dSF0kE?si=7UuGjk8DJIAAx-Ck▾This is Kunzite and Onyx. I already talked about this topic in the past. But it was appropriate to place it with everything Kunzite. And I was really thinking about making a small arc before the assault to pass the Fluorite parasite to what was left of Kunzite so that the consequences could be seen. But the survey thing was obviously the most harmless method to nullify this.

https://youtu.be/dmi7ZGRYrBA?si=hlAItAdwe9x0hd0P▾(The lyrics are in one of the comments. I used chatgpt to translate everything)
This song is Anatasa and Taaffeíta. The main idea for Anatasa was that she is in search of something more and then something else. The time he went against that principle was when he spent a few minutes with the broken Taaffeite and after that he sacrificed himself. Much of Anatasa is related to her fingers, it is in Taaffeíta's dream and her reaction with Leucozafiro after Tourmaline was kidnapped. Then there is a direct mention of the foam that Taaffeíta uses. Then there is the thing at minute 3:15 that mentions again about the flowers that do not wither, it is special that it appears in one of Anatasa's songs because of the theme of inheriting the garden.

https://youtu.be/F4WxQLrmsGA?si=e2-vIDmP2-NJjM50▾I already explained this topic, it is related to Tanzanite. But from here I was also inspired by important dialogues for Kunzita, and lately for Alexandrita.

https://youtu.be/_IzwlXdn2F4?si=2dNt-OfjgpZW7XQnThis▾ theme is Uranocircite. Although it also used to be Axinite. For me, it exposes the feeling that Uranus had outside the community of gems. At the time I also wanted to discuss the disintegration of Uranocircite, and as inevitably it would end up changing due to the degradation of its mineral. But, there was no way to connect that idea, especially when he hadn't fully explained the transformation of the gems throughout their entire eternity. And despite being a radioactive gem, Uranocircite admired gems to the point that she wanted to become, for example, Axinite, who adored the stars just like her. Due to force majeure he got rid of that dream, but I think it is something that he would end up telling Leucozafiro in a sneaky way in one of his talks. The song itself is the general feeling that such conversations would have.

https://youtu.be/guJvY3PJQxI?si=DNLBc8UNqdADB6Fp▾This is about the little tea party, the conversation Taaffeite had with Purple during and after when Leucosapphire appeared. The collecting pieces is Leucozafiro, the snow is Taaffeite for winter work. And all the rest, the quotes, is what settles in my head when I don't know how they will interact, it's funny that it has already happened a couple of times kek By the way, from minute 2:18 I started to see the song including Anatasa and Taaffeíta. But it is only until 3:40 that my fantasy returns with words that for me would say Leucozafiro and Taaffeíta. If it doesn't clash too much, then it should be a relief that they haven't given me their kek characters anyway

https://youtu.be/uFEFbhhKBcU?si=OmqTNKGuQ7AUYwwz▾https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_FAVEDOLL
This is Anatasa and Almandine, I explained it a while ago kek Maybe I'll give it more context later.

https://youtu.be/zVUINpWupMM?si=xeFiepD-RU1eRZhE▾This is Varation Avalok. Everything about the spiritual falls back into the Atmosphere. Then there is a very important line which is the Floral Arabesques and eternity, which is related to the infinite flowers of the sky resulting from the transformation of the inclusions.

https://youtu.be/8qcUUy7YzwU?si=ZnCf7WPmbpprJHn0▾https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_Parsee
Uranocircite. The word miserable is related to Anatasa, Almandine and Uranocircite, I liked to use it for them. And originally, before just moving it from one side to the other, I considered having the Emeths eat Uranocircite again. Although that was going to be a mess for the battle that was being very dynamic with Taaffeíta. He would change the river with the lake, or the pond of water, which always had Uranocircite at its disposal.

https://youtu.be/pdl_9TbJVSs?si=BCfIoKbq6q7ckeOy▾This theme is Rutile and Fluorite. I was going to post it in thread 3, but I was going to spoil a lot of the final meeting between the two. The fact that Fluorite herself is a human. And I really liked the too kind line.

https://youtu.be/9lM4BEHCIoE?si=BO-0F_l5d4QbBCPI▾Description of all the gems that were sacrificed and how broken Taaff ended up. This is where the title comes from.

https://youtu.be/66KlXot8aUA?si=pSDtmdfZp_GR2kS9▾This is the topic of Fluorite, Assimilation. It will have a little more relevance later.

And about the other two topics that I have posted, I will no longer discuss anything because I have run out of characters and because we are going to roleplay it.

Aldo. We'll have that serious talk about the future of the characters. I wanted to ask you a few things.
And they expected them to ask me about how the androids worked, or key details about the Cortex, for Taaf and Sapphire, which after the timeskip is information they should have.

Q

>>10177
And I waited for them to ask me about how the androids worked, or key details about the Cortex, for Taaf and Sapphire, which after the timeskip is information they should have.
I was going to ask you for suggestions for gems and/or ideas for particularities for some.

But I will post the file before asking or answering anything to see how I put everything together. Which will be tomorrow, as early as possible, because now it's too late.

FILE

>Precious Stone
Mineral or gem. Some are called by their gem name or by the name of their mineral (Kunzite-Spodumene, Sapphire-Corundum).
Stats, strength, and overall stamina depend on the mineral chosen. These can be uneven. For example, diamond has a hardness of 10, but a refractive index of 1.7. And Rutile has a hardness of 6, but a refractive index of 2.4.
The hardness of the chosen mineral (1-10) depends on how much the gems can break when in contact with each other. For example, the Rutile gem breaks upon simple contact with Diamond. (This property does not extrapolate to combat literally)

(>>92500) Post with my gem recommendation for hardness. You can use anyone you find on the internet kek>Appearance
All gems have a feminine appearance. Hair, eyes and nails are the color of the mineral. Variations may exist, for example, if the PC's body is made of 2 or more different minerals. Details such as height are determined by age or length of life. And other things, for example, having long or short hair is both an aesthetic decision and a forced change on the characters if they take a lot of damage.

>Alignment
Surface or subsoil.
For Surface you play on the Crystalline Earth, which is an island that accumulates the largest amount of gems. And for Underground it is played in the Cortex, which is a huge underground complex that houses an intelligent but extremely fragile human civilization. The gems on the surface hold the key to controlling all inclusions (What gives life to the rocks), and the gems below hold technological advances.

>Type
1.Natural
2.Rebuilt
3.Old
Natural gems are born from a conglomerate of inclusions, they take a human shape and decompact over time, giving rise to their growth. Reconstructed gems are made from pieces of one or more gems, they are gems that had a natural development which was truncated by external forces. And ancient gems are gems that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, have gone through various Stuns, and are practically in a late development that involves some cognitive demise, but great skills with inclusions. Ancient gems reach the Crust or TC through Peridotite or Tara

>Age
Type 1 (Natural): 0-600 years
Type 2 (Reconstructed): 100 - 5 thousand years
Type 3 (Ancient): 10 thousand -300 thousand years

>Personality
Very optional. Just to see how to fit his character to the story, or the other way around.

>Property - Special Abilities (Optional)
Some of it relates to the intrinsic property of its mineral. For example, radioactive gems have radioactivity, and gems whose mineral that does not have a defined (majority) color causes it to vary in bicolors or tricolors.
There are certain passive conditions such as translucency and florescence, and other more active ones such as radiation, magnetism.
Then there are abilities that arise from inclusions. Such as the ability to store metals or other materials inside the body, or the ability to generate heat and pressure under certain conditions. These abilities are much stronger/useful, but come with certain disadvantages such as self-poisoning or irreversible mineral transformation.
They can call it powers, or they can come up with their own abilities. However, these have to have a certain physical or chemical relationship, because gems do not possess DNA or mystical abilities. (Included here. The ability to see memories of others and create illusions is due to inclusions and their presence in everything)

>History (Optional)
Gems have a "Job" that they follow throughout their lives, such as being a Combat gem, or taking care of plants, or building things. The same for the Crust gems, whose general job is to organize large masses of humans, preserve scientific knowledge or attack/cultivate the Crystalline Earth.

The Crystalline Earth is a free place, while the Crust is basically North Korea with kek mineral media figures. If you can't think of a story you can simply put the general intention behind your character, such as: "Creator of weapons on the Surface" or "Leader of 4 billion humans in a self-destructive war in the Underground." There is a certain blank period of time for reconstructed gems, where that type of gem could have a lot of freedom to make their story, they would just have to review and approve it.

And then for the Ancient gems the story is basically the same, hundreds of thousands of years of a decaying dream until they were simply rescued, recently or 100 or 200 years ago.

Quotas
4

The file is screwed, I doubt they will all be filled out, and I would still refine based on lolmuertes
I feel like I couldn't give a good story to Gross or Almandine precisely because they joined in a mid-game period, and I couldn't fix that even with flashbacks ayy

This is the Third and final part of Glaze. It will have an extension of at least another 3 wires. And the approximate duration is 1 year.

>Age-size guide
1000~2000 years:
Around 1000 or 2000 years old, gems present irregularities in their psyche. In the cortex it is known as Daze, it is the first of several symptoms that gems present throughout their existence to adapt to eternity. The greatest exponents of this were Mystic Topaz Part 1 and Yellow Diamond Part 1 and 2. The first clumsy and the second sleepy. It heals in 100 or 200 years, but can be extended if you have a deteriorated mental state (Yellow Diamond). It is currently owned by Padparadscha 34.

Irregulars 1:
The growth of these gems stopped due to lack of social development. Uranocircite, as a radioactive gem, could not approach other gems due to its own danger, and then Heliodor 57 and 50, which depended on each other and did not develop correctly. This factor explains the need for the Companion system between gems and Stun, for example, learning and mastery over generations. Both raised and executed by Sapphire and other ancient gems.

Irregulars 2:
Gems rebuilt after a long time. Case of Peridot, gem of the Cortex, which lived on the Crystalline Earth a long time ago, was recently destroyed and rebuilt, so that it has barely accumulated a development corresponding to a 2nd or 3rd stage gem. Case of Purple Topaz, which after being destroyed for a long time, was rebuilt with fewer parts than her body had. And despite being an ancient gem, its size was not typical of a gem over 800 years old.

Do I need to read the rest of the role to enter? anyway I save space

>>10181
>do I need to read the rest of the role to enter?
Nope, I'm willing to provide summaries on any character you have questions about. Or a summary of how the Surface or Crust works. They would just have to ask for anything. Practically 90% of the lore is unlocked at this point.

(>>9712) Here are details about the gems and how they are roled. Although that post is focused on the Surface.

Hmm?
>He observes the tablet from different angles, turning it around and raising it towards the light of a sun that is not down there, trying to understand where he has kept the pencil to write messages.

>Young is not an adjective I would use to describe anything related to Peridotite, but her silicoclacea gives you the first impression of a young and shy gem, you can call that cute.
>In order not to be too distracted by Peridot's possible cuteness or youth, she makes strange sounds that to her are like the chirping of birds or insects, without warning and with an expressionless face like Taaffeita's, to see how easy to surprise Peridot is.

>He nods more than once during Peridot's explanations, making it clear how much he doesn't understand the piece of obsidian in his hands that he assumes is a notebook for crust librarians or forgetful gems.
>Humans sound like the type of beings Topaz and Taaffeite would be interested in investigating, but probably only for purposes similar to Tanzanite's, due to their origin.

>He keeps the tablet under his armpit and joins his hands to bow to the humans who fight, perhaps with swords, perhaps because that's how they have fun.>She remembers more than one time when she also wished she would remain inactive to skip complicated moments in her life, she doesn't see them as good memories or attitudes that a healthy gem should have, but wishing that Circita or someone else had erased those memories is no better either.
Do they fight like this? Or do they do it like this?
>He shook his tablet in the air, slashing at the void and stabbing at nothing with the instrument and with a dead tone of voice that contrasted with his childish actions. The old way of moving is still there, but not the spirit. He can imitate the type of games or jokes that he would make before but he feels that if he tries to fake the same humor something bad and false will come out, he chooses to keep a serious attitude and hope that the discordance will give him the humor that he cannot inject into the matter.
It's good that there are gems like you. I prefer to suffer so that others can live in peace than to have others suffering next to me for the same cause... I don't know if it's something they taught me, but I still feel it.
>She presses the object against her chest lightly, half imitating the other gem's gesture.
>Sacrificing herself in combat so that other gems who were not fighting could read, play, build or do somersaults safely inside the academy is what she has always done, practically the same thing she will continue to do. It is natural for a combat gem to protect others in this way.
>The more he thinks about the academy, the less idyllic that way of life seems to him, the more problems he finds and the more he wants to change it. But changing an academy that you are no longer going to be a part of for the supposed good of other gems who never told you personally and specifically that they wanted those changes makes no sense.
>This feels like the first time since you started having those revolutionary ideas that a gem confirms that the changes you want to make are good and supports your efforts.

>Try typing something on the phone before asking if you did it right. He has some strange knowledge stored in his inclusions, none that is of immediate use to him. Maybe in one of those memories you will find the solution you are looking for, but even if it is not there you have to keep trying.

>He almost smiles, trying to hide it by turning his head to where there are fewer Peridots or humans watching. Being cheerful or friendly in any way to the person responsible for the destruction of the academy and several of her sisters feels inappropriate. At the same time, he does not feel a perpetual or latent hatred towards Peridotite or Rutile, just as he never came to hate the pyroclasts for doing the same thing on a smaller scale for so many years.
>It is easier to get angry with present things than past things, seeing a gem being destroyed is more upsetting than remembering it. He doubts that any of those receiving it will be any different, no one seems to care that he destroyed pyroclasts and crustal gems for years before getting there.
I forgot to ask something. Am I the only gem that decided to go down to the crust, or do you count me as kidnapped?

Amber 3/3

>appearance

Ambar 1/3 (Amber) is almost the same as her brothers except for the detail that her eyes can turn red and she wears an almost perpetual smile that darkens and overflows when her intentions become malevolent.

Amber 2/3 lAmiel) is almost the same as his brothers, except that he cannot open his eyes, which if he did, they would have a shine as powerful as the sun, brightness, not heat, but it can blind very easily.

Ambar 3/3 (Amory) is almost the same as her brothers, except that she is the oldest of the three and the one who has the most "matter".

Pic related.

>Lineup

Subsoil.

>Type

Ancient. Not rebuilt because it is still "broken"

>Age

+300 thousand years/1 year

>Personality

It is a single PC in three different bodies, but those bodies condition their behavior even if they have the same consciousness and thoughts, for now. 1/3 is aggressive, pedantic and playful. 2/3 is calm, lazy and cautious. 3/3 is dominant, responsible and demanding.

>Property - Special abilities

Amber, as in real life, is perceived as an organic gem, because its interior is too similar to that of a human although they do not need food to function, only water and "matter." They are capable of rebuilding themselves from anything as long as they eat and assimilate it, healing even serious wounds and cracks...

If you can, they have "blood", although again, they don't need it, they just like having it and panic when they lose too much.

>Work

Guardian.

>History

"How unhappy she was."

Let me tell you the story of a foolish, pedantic and cynical Gem, a Gem who, overwhelmed by her loneliness, traveled and wandered through countless ages spreading her raw poison until she finally found the purpose of her existence... The moment for which she was born. And the person who gave it to him was someone from a species that cannot live 100 years.

At first he thought it was talking dust, with no value or notable attribute other than being annoying. He offered a deal now forgotten, attacking his pride, winning at what he was best at. A simple primitive and ridiculous board game, nothing that a mind polished through the suffering, its own and others, of +300 thousand years of wars and conflicts could not crush in the worst way.

How ironic, oh how ironic it was when the one she tried to destroy ended up destroying her. And the worst thing was that she did it voluntarily, guided by a force that fascinated the hairless monkeys she hated so much. Love. Her death along with that of her special person would give rise to what she would call her "children", after a cataclysm of proportions as abominable as those of her age.

After that, Amber, Amory and Amiel were born.

>extra data

Amber's favorite song is "End of the road."

Amory's is "Song for mama"

Are you Almandine? kek
I understand "birth" as the moment in which it was divided into 3, right? Strictly gems are born in wastelands, especially Ancient ones. It's just a detail.
And it is true that humans live 100 years. But specifically these humans (accumulating certain hundreds of years) do not die, but rather transform. They lose their form, or mutate into another type of life, and then can return to their previous form in random periods of hundreds or thousands of years. In short, your pj's "Mom" is not dead, she can't be.

I'll send you an impromptu non-canon shift at night, to see how your character works. Then I will make the corrections. Try to use all three versions.

>Aldo
Important. The extra turns and this role test are the last "long" turns I will role.
The initial turns of the third part will be of the light type. Like this (>>91595, >>91596)

>nacimiento por

Cy.

It's a bit more complicated than that. The most faithful idea to what I'm looking for is that after he fell in love and never won, his human's time as "him" came to an end. However, before he died, the "mother" gem fulfilled his desire to have "children".
He took her one last time, they became one, and then with her permission, she broke into thousands of pieces to use that organic body as a mold and slowly joined together to give rise to the triplets. Before losing her identity, she gave them names and the purpose of seeking happiness so they wouldn't wander for thousands of years like she did...

Both are dead in the sense that their bodies were used to create their "children". The more destructive their destruction and birth, the better... And I clarify, the "mother" gem wasn't an Amber but some other gem, amber is born only after joining with the "father" because it's an exception. As IRL

>accumulating certain hundreds of years

I didn't get that. Are all humans here able to do that or are they just a few chosen ones?

>the mother isn't dead

It's the father more well kek

>how does it work

As an advance Amber doesn't accept that she split and wants to reunite, Amiel simply exists and says very little but is the most compassionate, and Amory is the one who respects his mother's will while taking care of his siblings. In short, the three are parts of the original gem's personality but over time they can start to differentiate more until they become unrecognizable.

>>10170
Isn't this the second dream of yours where a gem appears that's just a walking head?

>>10174
The white pride line wasn't in the original turn, I added it after reading it because in that part it said the same thing in other words and I decided to make the joke remembering the Red Diamond video, then I deleted it because I also thought it clashed but I rewrote it because whatever.

>>10177
>after they become partners, separate Sapphire and Taaffeite, but still be connected in some way.
We kept hearing each other on the radio for a few turns after we separated, if that counts.

>Part of me thought Sapphire would react innocently upon meeting that gem
Because of the memory of classes with Padparadscha, I thought you were signaling me to attack her, if I hadn't had that memory right before waking up, I might have just talked to Rutile, and if I hadn't broken Topaz over the phone and acted unpleasant again, I wouldn't have attacked her again. I wondered how uncomfortable it would have been to work together in the crust if it hadn't been destroyed on the surface.

>But there's a reason that role wasn't liked, and I suspect it was because it was bland.
I almost never get into cyberpunk or sci-fi roles, I don't know what it would be like, nor do I lurk much.

>I thought Leuco Sapphire would be attracted to Taaffeite's differently colored eyes
I don't remember if I mentioned them outside or inside the role, but it wouldn't have been many times if I forgot. Besides them being a different color than Taaffeite and her getting them from a larger gem she was close to, I wouldn't know what else to highlight.

>The flowers are strictly related to the inclusions, that's why the field of sky flowers was directly the total transformation of the inclusions throughout the cosmos.
Did Yellow Diamond see that in dreams or how did she know the inclusions were flowers?

>And by the way, the Almandine plot was completely improvised
What would have happened to Rutile if Almandine hadn't eaten her then? As it turned out, I don't think she would have returned to the crust in any timeline.

>>10178
I don't ask things if I think I can know them within the role, since we are in the crust I assumed I would learn what I needed anyway. I would like to know about Uranus, Tara, Avalok, and Dioptase but since I also think you will write about it, I'm not asking.

For what specific reason did Kunzite jump into the water? That's something I don't think I'll know, if I shouldn't already know it and I didn't interpret it correctly.

Knowing specifically what jobs Rose did in the crust would also be good, I'll do the same as her for years if I don't change jobs later.

The particularity of being able to touch other gems without breaking them, superficially repair them, and hear metals talking, I don't think they would appear much so you can't use them again.

>>10179
Did you say we also have to redo the character sheet? I don't see anything new that isn't clarified by what we've already roleplayed.

>Age

>Personality
A rather peculiar gem since her creation. Cheerful and temperamental, but quite curious about her surroundings, overprotective especially when it comes to her friends like golden Topaz. After a period of time, her behavior became distant and haughty towards those around her, her taste for things began to fade since the loss of topaz. Currently, she is a gem of few words and reluctant to personal relationships.
>Properties - Special abilities (Optional)
•Fluorescent
•High refractive index and transparency (from topaz)
•Light dispersion
•Hardness
>History (Optional)
Since she was young, due to her hardness, she was chosen as a combat gem. That's why she always has a rather temperamental behavior. Abrasive and fierce, but always warm and cheerful with her friend: a golden topaz who took care of the plants or the environment within the crystal earth. She always went with her to tell her about her fights, her concerns, and her great desire to travel the whole earth.

However, a tragic accident occurred most unexpectedly. Topaz broke into many fragments. But instead of splitting or being repaired, the gem had been attacked with some kind of acidic solution. With tears in her eyes, she had no choice but to keep her remains after 181 years. It wasn't until her last fight that she was broken from her head, however, with the fragments of Topaz, she was able to be reconstructed without problems.

Tired of always protecting and caring, she simply left for a place far from all gems. She wanted to fulfill her promise to topaz to travel the world with her, now that she was part of her body. She is not open to relationships with other types of gems, and tries to remain more unnoticed.

>The snow shines on its own and it almost seems like little dots of snow are what give true color to the dark blanket above you. The pyroclastic transport unraveled, melting the snow by accident, in what would probably be the creation of a river on this frozen continent, in the future. There is no structure nearby, nor any animal to accompany your arrival. In the Crystalline Earth, there were some penguins that existed in droves, but that was because many gems there facilitated their reproduction. The gem that came up with you is, like your previous self, a gem hundreds of thousands of years old. He trembles, because he feels the direct cold after his continuous humanization.
(Sapphire 53) I know that, as an Ancient gem, the concept of rest should be completely foreign. I haven't been the most diligent with my learning, all this time... However. Now we are here! And I can't help but worry about that up there. R-is space really like that? It's not exactly how I remember it... And that just makes me nervous
>6 moons in the sky do not allow the correct visualization of the stars. But, this is enough for Sapphire, because, unlike you, in 200 thousand years she has never left the Cortex. It's so hot down there that no matter what type of synthetic protection you have, every slightest approach to a gem seems as if it were going to melt at any moment. They were in pursuit, or so they should be, because after sealing the level between the Mantle and the Cortex no other enemy could follow them. What Sapphire does is stupid.
(Sapphire 53) There's no way there's a signal, it's too high! And it also smells strange. T-the truth is, I would much rather return to Gardan and steal his food! You haven't tried it yet, right?>He put away his phone, and then began to fan his face with his right hand. Accustomed to the smell of sulfur and the gases of the Cortex other than oxygen, it is not strange that, when breathing, everything becomes more complicated. Eat, breathe, sleep. She sometimes requested certain products from the research department to become more human-like. Maybe not so much to those that look like insects, but it was an embarrassment for several. What Gardan Siti eats, that is, Peridotite, are nothing more than small accumulations of inclusions that disappear, exploding in different ranges of light and generating certain textures from the electromagnetic waves with which they are irradiated. Sapphire is the type of ancient gem that lives outside of reality. Unlike other Sapphires. However, she is the only one who could communicate that message from the past to them.
(Sapphire 53) But this is something he decided for you... So go ahead-! Meet the king, I don't care anymore. Actually, from the moment I was given that task, I always wanted this, no self-imposed responsibility.
(...)
>The earth opened, regardless of whether you sympathize with that gem or not. She knew that sooner or later she would be left out of the King's affairs rebuilding inside the frozen continent. That which appeared first took the form of ice, like the snow outside, but it formed hundreds of small arms that held each other's hands to finally evaporate into heat. 53 had described the king as this very thing, a vapor formation that was very scary initially, and was not specifically something to deal with. Living in the crust, hydrothermal waters and gases, specifically, are not something that is easy to deal with. But, as soon as this thing took shape, they saw another deity that must have been long gone.
(Tara) I am not the King. Although I am a princess. Does any appear in your mythology? Oh... I forgot. They create those beautiful plays all the time, right? They transmit them through the air and such. But the King's message is not one they can copy. Whatever your question... I am sure it will define the form of your inclusions. Even when a thousand, 10 thousand, 10 trillion years have passed.
>For 600 years, any attempt at communication with the outside world was truncated, due to the way things fit together at this time. That Tara had formed in this luxurious underground ice cave was nothing they could prevent. But they were not in danger, because, regardless of what happens to the world, beings made of vapor are inherently neutral. Not only that, but this version of Sitadel Tara seems to have lost huge memories regarding where she stood with the Surface gems. But dealing with memory gaps is their specialty, considering how much humans possess them, over years and years. Tara might be like Sapphire about her out-of-character questions. However, in the middle of the barely two-minute talk, the enormous ice structure collapsed so easily that it must have been almost predicted.
(Tara) If I were you, I would ask you how you would catalog your name using 10…-
(Blue Diamond) …!
>He dispelled Tara in a second, and everything that was ice broke upon simple contact with its mineral. Unlike the beings of the Cortex, the surface gems are extremely cold. But this was not enough to appreciate all the damage that was done with a simple landing. The pieces that fell before you were of a hardness of 1 or 2, which was not far from the hardness of 2.5 that you are used to, it is too low. As Diamond, this is the worst enemy that the Cortex could have let escape. After a simple glance, she tried to go after you, but the long ice hallway reformed. It lit up as if it was compressing water at specific points to stop it. But most importantly, what Tara mainly used to contain Blue Diamond were also blue pieces in a slightly paler shade similar to Sapphire's. It was the only way for a hardness 10 to bow to another form of life, and it was not enough, because corundum itself is the most unfortunate by all high levels.(Blue Diamond) They can't see it! I won't allow it! Cloud let me go! For all...! None can be left in solid pieces! I know you understand me so let me go, Sitadel Tara.
>He uses his arms and his sword to graze the pieces of Sapphire as best he can and crush them into dust as he escapes. Perhaps, it must have been fortunate for you, as gems who deal with humans, that the gem that followed you is one that is not completely stable. The job of the harvesters was that, specifically, to alter the young gems to obtain their inclusions. Among the rubble, and among all the absurd travel suitcase that Zafiro took for his “expedition”, you can see various weapons.
(Blue Diamond) I will die alone. I promised!

Kekcito.

;

Amory, the largest of the three of them, who just received the most parts in the partition, was looking through the window of the transport while testing his memory, and sure enough, he still remembers some things from the time when they were a single entity. What's worse, he still faintly hears his brothers' thoughts as if they were his own, although no longer as powerful as when they woke up.

Don't be afraid. I am here with you...

Amiel, the "youngest" of the brothers, was perched on Amory's shoulders to get at the other gem's level and caress her head gently, and then he said one of the few phrases they have heard him say. One of comfort for the distressed Sapphire...

Wow, he talked... I always forget that he can do more than just take up space, the idiot... Yum, yum, yum...

Amber, stop biting my arm.

No way crazy! There must be some way to get us together again, I know... I can't just agree to stay like this for you to exist. Get your own body!

There isn't. And even if there is, I assure you that it is not eating my arm as if you were a zombie...

Even so, he didn't pay attention to Amory and Amber continued biting with all the force that her new size could allow, of course she wouldn't succeed because they have the same hardness between the three of them and practically the same strength. He only wastes his time, exhausting Amory's patience before he sends her flying.

Space has no form, that's why it is called space, it is everything that is not being occupied by more "matter", Sapphire... Don't worry, it's not mortal... Imagine it as more "air" and that's it...

Amory can no longer be sure of anything when his memories come and go like a broken television, what he knows about space is dubious, and his brothers don't seem very interested in giving him clues either.

I would rather, we have only eaten roots, bugs and water, and a little more dirt. Another thing to thank our glans-headed brother for.

I don't remember trying Gardan's food, no... Is it so good that I want to steal it? I can imagine he wouldn't find it very funny.

Ignore Amber's comment. As pragmatic as he appears, he probably wants to avoid danger as much as possible so that his brothers don't face a premature death due to his recklessness.

I don't want to see any demon king, I don't want anyone to see me like that, no one important I mean...

Don't listen to her. She's just frustrated because everything is suddenly new and you have to start getting to know everything once again... This king... what was his name or why did he want to see us?

We love you, Sapphire.

Amiel interrupts to hug Sapphire's head and let her nerves go down a little as they continue to rise and the conversation becomes more serious. Amory and Amber know what the king is, they know how important he is, but they don't know who he is or what he really looks like, Amiel probably knows that, which is the same as not knowing it.

When they see Tara face to face, the three of them have only one reaction.

Oh no...

Oh no...

Oh no...

They know her, or at least they think they have known her and from the way she now appears to them, things can definitely end very badly if they are careless. Or at least that's what they believe, so they only have to use the ancestral technique inherited from their father called "acting crazy" and pretend that nothing happened. Who was Tara to begin with? Exactly, no one they know.

!But just when they thought that everything could turn out well, a damn diamond lands next to them out of nowhere. A damn diamond! Now that they barely know what they are and how to use their abilities, the world really seems to hate them, now they're probably paying for some karma their mother left them... It doesn't matter, they were coming for them. In their previous form they know, and they know well, that they could handle it, but that form is now in the past.

Amber, you still remember how to fight, right?! I'll cover you, you make sure I don't destroy parts that take time to regenerate...

If mom was here she would know what to do...

We ARE mom, Asshole! No way, it's time to improvise, damn it! In my good years I would have wiped you out in one breath, you fucking lunatic!

They have not practiced it beyond simple and painful coincidences, but this is the perfect moment, being this way, Amber, the most aggressive and temperamental, puts her hand in and pierces his chest in the hope of being able to extract the mixture that she developed there... It was a substance similar to blood but that over time looks more and more like the resin of a tree, yellow or even brown, which for some reason the three of them can create from consuming other things.

With that as life insurance, she launches herself into the attack taking a kitchen knife and not a sword because she is the one in charge of fighting, it doesn't matter what she has at hand, it is simply her nature... The one who did take her sword and prepares to assist is Amory.

And Amiel, is there... existing...

>>10185
>In short, your character's "Mom" is not dead, she can't be.
I was wrong about this. Not necessarily because I interpreted the Human and the Original gem as the same person. But precisely the work of psychologically abusing the gems is what allows humans to die, so Peridotite may have disappeared to that human conglomerate after taking advantage of a couple of captured gems.

>>10186
Don't despair black, the most likely thing is that, far from the quota limit, he will end up accepting several to follow the purge strategy. Because asking someone to roleplay something for 1 year straight without a break is a lot of kek. And for me at least it's a sure thing that someone will die or have seasons of disappearance.
So, yes it is for accepting chips in this week or two weeks that the window is open and I can think of something good, better that they are in excess, than accepting them half and giving something raw.

>>10187
>the gem "mom" fulfilled her wish to have "children".
Alright. The partition thing seems correct to me. Especially because in my headcanon, reconstructed gems and those from thousands of years ago have very strong mental problems. It wasn't something that could force them to force their kek tokens. But I run a passive idea throughout the role and that is that with more unusual abilities there are more imbalances, and without them too. I had also not been able to visualize the breakage of a gem beyond a simple reduction in size, but for gems as evolved as those hundreds of thousands of years old, it makes sense to me.
The topic of motherhood was something that I had raised in the first thread of the role, but I didn't pursue it because I didn't see much future for it. I'm talking about this turn (>>83221). But far from the complications of an arthropod doing it with a piece of wood, and the strangeness of that, I think it could be good, it gives some play.And about the destructive methods of the birth of the three. There is a mechanism that gems possess to "purify" humans, or make them flourish, sacrificing part of their inclusions. Which results in a sacrifice of their mental processes such as the total deterioration of empathy and results in a certain resistance to physical pain. Basically providing inclusions that the gems cultivated based on suffering means that you are left empty of it and the character loses a certain capacity for compassion. This is a spoiler for Rutilo. But what happened to her was basically this, but on a large, very large scale.

>Can all the humans here do that or are they just a select few?
The definitive way for humans to die is Salvation. There is another form of death which is Annihilation, where humans turn into vapor and later condense into strange things. Explained here (>>10171)

I will explain the human evolution cycle with pics:
Pic 1 A human from the role is missing antennas. Pic 2 He suffered memory loss and his body shrank. Pic 3 Total loss of identity and transfiguration. Pic 4 Renaissance, yes, now she is a woman. Pic 5 After acquiring back his memories based on absorbing the pink vapor that falls from the sky of the Cortex
This is true for exochrodic humans in 200, 300 or just 500 years. The cycle thus repeats itself eternally for hundreds of thousands of years. And it is a mechanism that gems also have, which for them ends in this (>>92682) They are made completely of metal.

>>10188
>memory of classes with Padparadscha
Padparadscha ordered to attack her, but the real objective of the post was to expose that Leucozafiro certainly knew in advance who the enemy was, and that anything outside of what I would have imagined would happen kek. It also happened with Taaff communicating directly, which I thought was going to be more stealthy. I like it when they go out of the box, it can seem a little problematic, but it all ends up okay in the end.

>Did Yellow Diamond see that in his dreams or how did he know that the inclusions were flowers?
Things like being Stunned or being inside Fluorite give you some perspective on inclusions. I wanted Almandine to share something like that with Kunzita and Onix, with that whole theme of dreams that I ended up discarding. And the flowers were planned from the beginning.

>What would have happened to Rutilo if Almandine didn't eat her then?
Well, in my plans I did visualize an aspect in which she returned almost intact to the Cortex to do more evil. But what happened was more of a narrative mess than one typical of the role. Because, since the first part, Rutile has not changed and has no way to redeem himself. So to further explore her character, who is in a late stage of achieving objectives, seeing how everything turned out, I added that they can be united as gems of the Cortex. This way I can indirectly develop Rutilo based on what he had to go through below. Reflecting on other characters basically. And I will probably end up doing something similar with Fluorite With Pink Diamond there is not much problem because it only came out in part 2 and whether it changes or not will depend on how things are with Taaffeíta or those who join there. Really everything is very variable kek

>Uranus, Tara, Avalok and Dioptase
We're going to roleplay what happened to them, although it won't necessarily be the central focus of your new plot. But I can tell you that my original plan with Avalok was for him to be a "father" figure, as strange as it may sound, for Leucosapphire. But it ultimately had an irregular outcome, giving all control to Tara after Fluorite accidentally undid it. I'll figure out a way to add weight to his disappearance with Purple Topaz or something. In any case, he was a character who also ended up dragged down by the rejection of the spinoff role that was going to give rise to his story as a human.

>For what specific reason was Kunzite thrown into the water? That's something I don't think I'll know.Well, as incredible as it may sound, the extra turn I have in mind is one that addresses that issue Kek I'm saying it anyway. Kunzite was going to be a central character for the Red Diamonds, and they would sooner or later end up assisting her in winter only to see how she is destroyed, and the only way to save Onix, for example, was to use some of those strange memory needles that Peridotite had and that she will probably end up decanonizing.
The point is that the Red Diamonds abandoned the role and that whole sequence in the snow was scrapped. But then Almandine appeared and like a true saver, he would recycle part of that plot to show Kunzita's disappearance on the screen again. Only Almandine also left KEK. And in the end I could only give Kunzita's disappearance an ideal farewell based on other posts without seriously detailing what happened there.
If he had played it, his disappearance would have more reasons and would include, I don't know, saving a player. Since not, it all comes down to Onix. The pyroclastic beast ended up as a prototype with built-in weapons to destroy gems and Onix was hit by one of them, which explains why Carnelian flaked so easily. The pieces of Onix fell into the sea and Kunzite followed it. And after that the story of Carnelian and how she rescued part of Kunzite while facing the pyroclast like a heroine.
In a strange idea, Almandine domesticated that thing. Don't ask.

>Know specifically what work Rosa did in the bark
It was a support gem for the androids and Rutilus who did have the objective of harming the gems. Some androids are just soulless androids, while others have a heart. Pink Diamond's job was also to deal with lots of these Emeths, which are what give shape to the pyroclasts after eating millions of humans in their most disintegrated form. And to get the Emeths to generate pyroclasts based on eating human souls, Rosa has to directly visit the most horrible parts of the Cortex to collect humans and their sentient remains. That is why, far from using the mechanism to save humans who cannot be saved because of how terrible they are, he developed compassion.
If you ask me, she is the cause of the whole disaster and that, after 10 thousand years, the Cortex has lost the ability to directly manipulate Fluorite. This is because it was in part 1 that Rosa freed the first Happy and forced Rutilo to attack Fluorita practically alone kek

>I don't think they appeared so much that you couldn't use them again
Ok, I'll be thinking about it. Do you have suggestions for gems, archetypes, personalities, or gem jobs I could use? Another radioactive gem was born, an alexandrite, also a black spinel and an aquamarine. I'm still adjusting them though.

💖 Extroverted and charismatic: Rhodochrosite is the soul of any group. She can't sit still and always seeks to be surrounded by others.
💖 Fearless adventurer: Love challenges and enjoy the adrenaline. He is not afraid of the unknown and jumps headlong into new experiences.💖 Unstoppable Optimist: No matter the situation, Rhodochrosite always finds a reason to keep going and encourage others.
💖 Stubborn and stubborn: Once she sets her mind to something, it is almost impossible to change her mind. This constantly gets her into trouble.
💖 Highly emotional: You feel everything very intensely: if you are happy, your energy infects everyone; If she is sad, she becomes melancholic and difficult to console.
💖 Impulsive and somewhat reckless: She prefers to act rather than think, which sometimes leads her to make mistakes by rushing.

>Property - Special abilities (Optional)
🔸 Emotional energy – Rhodochrosite can absorb and reflect the emotions of those around it, allowing it to inspire bravery or calm in its allies and, on the contrary, create an emotional downturn in enemies
🔸 Fractureable structure – Its fragility makes it vulnerable to direct attacks, but its reflexes and speed compensate for this weakness.
🔸 Chromatic Illusions – You can distort your own image for a short time, confusing your opponents.
🔸 Emotional and physical regeneration – He can heal wounds just by being close to her, but not only physical wounds, but also emotional ones, making his allies feel good or even healing past traumas.

>History (Optional)
A very very very young gem who knows nothing of this world, she was born with only one principle: Love! Since she has consciousness, Rodochrosite (or Rodo or Rody for her friends) only knows that she loves any living being on the face of existence and that she wants to protect them all, in fact she sees with tenderness and compassion for being weak and fragile beings next to their kind, something totally ironic considering that her hardness is not the most resistant that we can say, although that does not matter to her, inside she feels as strong as a diamond and that is the only thing that interests her to be able to protect and love gems and humans alike, that is why she has enlisted herself in any type of group that defends the well-being of her own, the truth is that she does not care what she has to do in order to do her bit for the good of her alignment and La Corteza may be an authoritarian regime with messianic figures, Rodo does not see the bad, perhaps because he is still very innocent or because his loving nature prevents him from appreciating the negative in things but his world is rosy and with a filter rainbow Everything can go to shit! And she will always observe the good and the positive. Nothing can discourage her! That probably makes her a very manipulative girl, easy to handle and control. But what does it matter? Rodochrosite is happy taking care of and loving those around her, no matter who they are or how they are, they are more than open to give them everything their heart can give them, that is their goal and reason for living, surely many other gems have had existential problems but Rodo is very clear that he was born to love and protect, so he tries to do it with great effort every day of existence, of course, it should be said that this love is not only limited to La Corteza, she believes that love can unify All living beings, whether allies or enemies, are obviously not a flower-eater who runs away from a fight, they are fully aware that if they want to protect their loved ones, they must fight! And her toughness may be limited but her liveliness and bravery are not, she would be the first to lead a fight if she can defend what she loves... Of course... Surely this pure and chaste vision of hers clashes with reality.

>the work of psychologically abusing gems is what allows humans to die

I didn't understand that very well. Making gems angry makes them kill humans and only that can kill them definitively? Everyone here is immortal and that's a disease like with Miyazaki games? Is it all a loop? Can I break it? kek

>Peridotite

Am I Peridotite? Who is she?

;

>strong mental problems

And she had them, Amber is that aggressive and deranged part that broke gems like they were candy. I don't know if brown diamonds or something similar exist, but the original would be, hence the phrase that in its good years it would have destroyed the blue diamond without much effort...

If the original idea was not possible, she planned to justify it with the fact that in all her absurd life she found a method to create hybrid life from humans and gems that only she knew... And that is what she ended up doing, basically she created 3 fat suckers who go against the laws of nature but still bet everything on their survival.

And if you let me know that its partition, because it was so old, had the power of a nuclear explosion, I am satisfied.

>maternity

So gems are born in other ways?

It would be more like a piece of rock doing it with a piece of meat, unless you are referring to that advanced stage... I don't know if I would have reached that stage, more for aesthetic reasons because I imagine it to be more "romantic" kek

>purify

If that's the best way to do it without hitting anything, then fine. Although I doubt he wanted to purify or harvest him, he saw him as an equal, something no one else achieved. She fell in love with the first version, so much so that she was even willing to give her life for him and her children.
The most faithful thing I imagined is that, to them joining together literally and figuratively, hence things like the Ambers referring to themselves as "masculine."

The previous gem would not give inclusions, it gave everything, which is why it no longer exists. While all three have their memories, what happens next is their decision, not the diamond's. I say diamond as I could have said any other gem

>is now a woman

Flesh and blood or rubber? In other words, from man to woman and then to man and so on... Do humans reproduce among themselves? Can you do it with gems, vice versa?

Those would be all my questions, and I thought it was a role for Steban Universidades and that's why I took on the three hybrids to play the role of savior of humanity...

>>10188
Ok, I forgot several kek questions but as I remember, this one is important. What would roughly be Leucosapphire's position on Peridotite using the captured gems to free humans or conduct experiments?
It is true that there are 18 billion humans in the crust. And billions in Spanish. Therefore, throughout each year 4 million humans are eliminated from the crust, and per day it is assumed that 18 thousand disappear. Although this has a trick. Well, just as Happys can accumulate millions of humans within them, in the form of components for their main Inclusion, there are humans who do the same. The Families of Exochrode Humans, or Conglomerates of Humans. I'll describe it a little more in depth later.

The case. They have enough captured gems to stop attacking the Crystalline Earth for a while. Although eventually they would have to continue with Peridotite's plan. Who despite being a dictator, sympathizes with Leucozafiro.
So I think I would ask him which gems not to use to save the humans. Something like "Make a list of your sisters who you don't want to have their memories erased/mentally messed up. Maximum of 3. Hope of 5 with rationale."
Would Sapphire try to intervene in these plans, for example by saving Rubí, or is hers a total submission?

>>10189
The first thing. Gems are not born with horns, or if they are, these protuberances do not stand out as much. There is the precedent of Almandino (>>9884 >>96907) whose character design was similar, and he used AI or a direct editor to delete it. And then there's an idea that I couldn't execute and it was the Red Diamonds, who wanted to have long horns, so I gave them the chance to make them mean something silly and put them on themselves.Based on the horns there are two options, that they are false (It could give it a meaning around Yellow Topaz), or that they are part of a design integrated into the character as happens with Taaffeíta part 1. The violet gem in the video.
https://youtu.be/fDFPp3YNJ9I?si=9gtVgnHQSDb6Acbo▾Where canonically her head accessories are integrated into her hair like little mineral stars.

And then I checked the base of your character and it doesn't have many pic kek During the role you always have the option to change your appearance after each chapter or certain important event. For example, Leucozafiro (>>9838) had a lot of corundum added after a battle and it grew. If you have a change planned throughout the role, then that's fine. Otherwise I think I can find several tall yellow pjs that I can suggest.

There is no problem about age and personality. Reconstructed gems are inherently irregular, at least behaviorally. And there is no problem with the properties either, there are none to adjust. Regarding fluorescence, in smoky quartz the inclusions are aluminum and lithium so the glow is pink.

There is no problem with the first part of the story. Then in the second, there is a detail, the gems cannot cry. Unless its interior is imbued with some material like metals or vapors, and they cry for that. An example of how a gem without these materials tries to cry and cannot is this one, Anatasa (>>10135), whose eyes directly break when they are solid.

And then about the motivation to explore faraway places, it could be slightly problematic, at least at first. Because they have a cloud entity as an ally, the gems can now travel on "Tara Airlines", which gives me a lot of play with the gems who were already explorers. However, I am going to try to keep the beginning of the role homogeneous, and I don't see that your character can fulfill his intentions immediately. Or if you try, chances are you'll end up developing obstacles to avoid that at the wrong time.
You can change it if you want, or leave it there and I'll come up with a good excuse that relates to your story. That almost always ends up working out for me, don't worry kek

Also. Do you want to roleplay a flashback or a memory with me using Yellow Topaz? I would go within the canon and roleplay it after the extra memory turn that I have written down for Taaffeíta. (>>10170)

>>10192
Good. Seeing gems behaving like humans turns me off a lot kek But that's completely my doing for roleplaying gems for so long. Looking at it logically it makes sense that Cortex gems would behave like this, so there's no mistake there. I'm going to have to change the chip a little to be able to develop the Cortex.

I think it's pretty obvious but it would be somewhat problematic if the three ambers were separated. Is each one faithful to their ideals of trying to stay together, or depending on the situation, let's say an extreme one, do you see them separating? I already worked with macrorole on Bloodline og, and what I can say is that, regardless of how good it is, if it is exhausting woe.

This is the result of the fight
ATK (Amb) 9 vs DEF (D.A) 13 = 4 in favor of Diamante. Reduction to 25%: Zero damage to Diamond. Reduction to 20%: 20% damage to Diamond. Reduction to 15%: 40% damage to Diamond. Reduction to 10%: 60% damage to Diamond.
0 / 127 / 255 / 382

Diamond Life: 2417 Amber Life: 513/513/513

ATK (D.A) 15 vs DEF (Amb) 7 = 8 in favor of Diamante. 25%: Total damage. 20%: Total damage. 15%: Total damage 10%: 80% damage to Ambers
930 / 930 / 930 / 744

Result: Even with adjustments, it doesn't matter if there are three of them, Blue Diamond destroyed one Amber immediately, leaving another injured and the last one unharmed. Which corresponds very well to reality, because there is no way that Amber has a chance against diamond. So, to make it fair, we can apply an ability to Amber resin.

The only thing I can think of is to give it more life points or to be able to nullify part of the damage of the others based on viscosity, inventing an ability.
Or I can directly suggest that you change your mineral, for example, assuming that it is an Amber Sucinite so that its hardness goes to 3, or that it has pseudomineralization of pyrite or silica and we increase it to 4 (Look at it as if ambers had cracked parts of their body that are harder than normal). The greatest extreme of this is to become a mineralized carbon so that you have hardness 4 or 5 if you want to continue being a vegetable.Based on this, maybe your story focuses less on combat and more on your PC's goal. But, the fight will end sooner or later. It depends on whether you liked the part of Sapphire's turn better or the part of Diamond's turn where they were at risk.

>>10194
Well, there is no problem with the token. With the Subsurface Alignment and history, it is a fact that the PC is a gem that was born within the Cortex. Which means two things, you hardly know anything about the gems that exist on the Crystalline Earth due to the misappropriation of information that is usually in charge of the "regime" of the Cortex, and secondly, I can only imagine your character living with the most "human" humans, and fewer insects in the most advanced and less chaotic points of the Cortex. That would be the starting point, because otherwise I don't see how the character could have generated that personality.

You could also choose to be a Crystalline Earth gem who was born on the surface and has a Crust alignment. In that case I would have to send you to the underground at the end of chapter 1 or in the middle of chapter 2 of the role.
(If you choose this option you could raise your stats a bit. With the first option I will have to use certain unusual abilities to keep you on par. Although depending on what I come up with for your story that may hardly matter. I think there was an entire thread without any kek combat)

The regeneration thing is fine. Due to RPG stuff, gems now regenerate on their own, some slower than others, some in unusual shapes, etc. But it doesn't clash. And as for absorbing emotions, I doubt I can treat it as a real power, Rhodochrosite will simply be empathetic. Do you agree with it? Much of the role is based on solving emotional issues raw and without tricks.

Also. The skill titles seem suspicious to me. Did you use ChatGPT black? I sense it because the last file I sent to a role, curiously, I also used it KEK
Your character can be as human as Ambar is, there is no problem. I'm the one who has to get used to it ayy

And I think I'll close spots for the Cortex.

>>10195
>Making gems angry makes them kill humans and only that can kill them permanently?
Not quite. Visualize it as an aura that arises after the gem has been in a bad mood. And it is not being angry, but rather experiencing a certain arrest of catharsis, which would be more related to sadness.
"Killing" a human is not linked to hate
>Everyone here is immortal and that's a disease like with Miyazaki games?
I didn't understand the second, but I did understand the first. The lore is basically that of a ruined civilization that wants to get rid of its immortality.
>Is it all a loop? Can I break it?
Something like that. And the point is that each character can alter it or contribute to finally breaking it. I don't know if it would end up falling entirely on your character based on what is being played.

>Am I Peridotite? Who is she?
No Kek is basically the Supreme Leader of the Cortex, which is not a gem, but the mantle itself. I'm going to write this down to give you an introductory summary in the next thread or when we roleplay.
>brown diamonds or something similar but the original would be
No, there is no kek way. I am guided by mineral processes rather than intentions and for a Diamond to become Amber is as if a rock high in minerals became a dry meteorite. In fact, it can happen the other way around, removing oxygen and hydrogen from the composition of amber to only be left with carbon. With enough pressure a Diamond can be made.
> would have destroyed the blue diamond without much effort...
He could have said it based on the silica domain. The Blue diamond I role is young, no more than 200 years old. So an ancient gem can easily assume that you don't control the material like she might.

>created 3 fat suckers who go against the laws of natureWell, I'm thinking about the best way for those 3 to follow the laws of nature and stop telling you no. Because a hybrid life form is precisely the Ambers, but due to something I call Centrifugation (it is in the introduction of this thread) the inclusions cannot be combined. And remember that most of the gems' lifespan is spent desolate. I estimate that the contact that the original Ambar had with her human did not exceed 5 thousand years in age.

For more information about ancient gems you can check this (>>9730)

>its partition, being so old, had the power of a nuclear explosion
No, there is no way kek Unlike Bloodline Fever, the powerputism of this role does not encompass as much. At least for the gems, which are you. I doubt he will get the role of being the Mantle, the Cortex or the Moon

>So gems do come from other forms?
Nope. They are all born the same way. I was just telling you that I contemplated the possibility that it might not be like that in the future. And technically it is with your character who was "born" in this other way.
>because I imagine it to be more "romantic" kek
Yes, don't worry black, I already got that image out of my head and now there is only a pic of a mosquito enclosed in Amber like in Jurassic Park

>The most faithful thing I imagined is that, them joining together literally and figuratively
I understand the vision, I will try to respect it based on what I have. From now on I will see what to do with this or that resource to make the story, so from now on we will stick strictly with the shared memories, that's fine.

>Flesh and blood or rubber?
Most humans in the role have a texture similar to dried leaves, or cartilage at best.

>Do humans reproduce among themselves?
They can have sexual organs, but they cannot reproduce. The estimated population of humans 300 thousand years ago is 18 billion and the population of humans today is 18 billion.
>Can you do it with gems, vice versa?
I'm going to think about this carefully Kek ask again later

>steban Universidades role and that's why I took on the three hybrids to play the role of savior of humanity
I like SU, sometimes I eat those feelings, but well, the gems are solid. And you can still do the second, I imagine it's something Rhodochrosite would do as well.

>>10196
>Where her head accessories canonically
Well, two things occurred to me... That the horns are really protuberances from Cairngorm, that is, fragments of its original head. Or they simply don't exist, and in the case of Taf, they are simply prismatic chunks of their own mineral.
As soon as the pics are in role I will try to delete them. And if not, I know how hot I could change it for Kiss Shot Acerola.
>That almost always ends up working out for me, don't worry kek
In that case I'll leave it in your hands.
>gems can't cry
This gave me a break out in the brain. And it does make sense, I think that instead of crying he was simply horrified by the loss, and how finite life can be, questioning whether it is worth continuing to protect his companions.
>Also. Do you want to roleplay a flashback or memory with me using Yellow Topaz?
It would be good to start role-playing.

>>10198
If the flashback happens, I think I would use this monkey as her pure form as Cairngorm.

>>10193
>a "father" figure, as strange as it may sound, for Leucozafiro
I already saw Padrádscha as that, but Avy could have been a better figure.

>And in the end I could only give Kunzita's disappearance an ideal farewell based on other posts without seriously detailing what happened there.
Since the part about Carnelian cutting her hair in the snow was the last time I saw Onyx and immediately afterwards there was some secret meeting between them and Fluorite I thought it would have something to do with Leucosapphire since Carnelian was also about to drown at the end of that.

>Do you have suggestions for gems, archetypes, personalities, or gem jobs I could use?
For the subsoil or the surface? I was thinking that since my mission would be to find that other way to save humans without annihilating all the gems or making them suffer, I would have to do a lot of research or experimentation, such as looking for ways to extract the inclusions that serve to purify humans without spoiling a gem, alternative ways to purify humans, ways to accelerate the birth of gems in other parts of the surface and perhaps create other academies to harvest inclusions there and not where there are gems that Leucozafiro grew with or different ways to create gems or grow special inclusions that have to be harvested. I think all of this would be summarized in Research/Experimentation jobs, perhaps with different jobs as Leader of other academies if doing other cultivation places is viable. I think Tara wouldn't like that last one.

Espionage of gems on the surface, management of emeth android units, elaboration of tools, weapons and rare technologies of the cortex, repair or support of gems and collection of destroyed humans already seem to be jobs that exist underground.

On the surface I think having new jobs related to the Emeths, exploration and the weapons or tools they know from the cortex would make sense. If they can repair Rutile's weapon they should be able to make others or discover something useful from them, so they can learn from Rosa or the Emeths could also develop other things. Something that seems strange to me is that the gems know that pyroclasts are weak to water and have no way to use that to their advantage, maybe they can't change the channel of a river to surround the academy and build a drawbridge but other things could be tried.

Of gem personalities, I think there could be more with an interest in art, gems like Onix drew but it seems like they did it only for work and gems who dance or sing I don't feel like they had it as something so prominent. If they learn more about the culture of the past or the crust, some might become interested in that kind of thing. When Axinita documented what happened to Leucozafiro in the atmosphere and some took it as a fictional story, it seemed strange to me that the gems did not write creatively, although they have old stories and document their dreams.

Regarding abilities, I think that changing the color or intensity of the glow according to the gem's emotions or being able to interpret those changes is not so strange, I thought it was what was happening with Uranus. When I was having my reeducation I thought about developing an ability opposite to the older Sapphire which was to break any material even with the slightest contact, but I didn't do it, it sounds more like a defect. Now that gems repair themselves, it would be feasible that they could be accidentally repaired using material without inclusions in which they are in contact for a long time. And the fact that gems can now be born in other ways makes me wonder if gems cannot be mass produced by basically creating statues of mineral without inclusions and adding only some pieces with inclusions of other gems, without dividing consciousness or deactivating the first one.

I forgot to ask if Pink Diamond already had a number before the Emeths took her to the academy. Maybe I was confused when Andalucita repaired me with pieces of Padparadscha with a number and I believed that Fluorite had given a number to the pieces of Rosa that fell with me from the atmosphere. Did Fluorite know about Rosa before they took her to the Cortex, did she put numbers on the pieces because they had inclusions or was I confused about the number because I never remember them?

>>10196Does Taaff have an asterism?

>What would roughly be Leucosapphire's position on Peridotite using the captured gems to free humans or conduct experiments?
He will tolerate using inclusions of gems that he would not have had a relationship with when he was in the academy. At first he would not agree to do experiments that could cause unnecessary suffering to the gems, even if he did not know them, after several years perhaps he would do it only with gems that he did not know if he believed that they could lead to some progress.

>Make a list of your sisters who you don't want to have their memories erased/mentally messed up. Maximum of 3. Hope of 5 with fundamentals
Uranocircite, Ruby, Dioptase, Chrysocolla, Rutile.
Rutile on the grounds that its name and appearance bothers gems like Topaz that still remind us of the Rutile of the crust, just as Padparadscha is useful in destabilizing others just by existing.
Chrysocolla on the basis that she is a gem that has little relationship with the others and the academy, kidnapping her will not have an impact on others, just as the loss of others has not had an impact on her. Plus it is always wet and dangerous.
I would recommend that they not capture any radioactive gems because they are also the most dangerous even when inactive and working near them will cause more problems than they are worth, nor do they usually have relationships with other gems for that reason.

She wouldn't sabotage Peridotite's plans behind her back unless something new happens to change her mind, if she doesn't agree with something like the use of Ruby she would directly tell her her opinion on the matter and refuse to participate in it.

>>10196
>see gems as humans

How do gems and humans behave? I didn't imagine them to be so different except for being all female and so on.

>separating

Amory would definitely want to stay together and take care of her siblings, Amber is looking to get back together by eating them which she will never do but she will keep trying and Amiel will go with whoever she gets attached to and so far only her siblings have gotten attached to her. So in that sense it would be strange for them to do it...

The three of them have pseudo-telepathy, it will fade over time but for the duration of the role they will have it to get back together in case they are separated due to a disaster or attack or something like that. If you or the blacks do not separate them, the idea is that everyone together learns to live as they are and at the end of the role, if they live, they finally separate, accepting that they are brothers and have to love each other.

>this is how it ended

Well, very logical. The one destroyed was probably Amber since she charged forward very recklessly to break her with one blow, since that's how she remembers that she used to fight... It makes sense to me that now that she is no longer nearly as powerful it is much more difficult for her to find a fighting style, which, as a fact, makes her whole situation very burning.

Do you know the Jojos? I was thinking of something like Yellow temperance and that even if they are destroyed they can become "liquid" again or use the sap they keep to come back together. Something like extra lives, that when the 513 go down to 0, they return to 513 about three times more in order to be on par with the diamond or other powerful gems... With that, their wisdom has an important utility.

How would the diamond react when she realized that the gem she previously destroyed was put back together almost immediately? It would be terrifying.

Another thing I thought was that they could merge again to have more power in doing so, bringing together and increasing life, with one of them as the dominant personality in each case... like the pics. If you want, give me your most difficult fights but with skills on par, facing something disproportionate is not my cup of tea.

If there is more combat, Amber is the one who will have the most participation, if there is more dialogue Amiel will have it. Amory is a middle point, it goes well with both... Maybe that is the best option, a balance.

>>10197
>more to sadness

But does that aura kill humans? Why does that aura exist, all gems have it, do I have it? Come to think of it, maybe the original gem used that or something similar...

>Miyazaki

He created games like Sekiro and several souls like where they are ALL loops, you either exit the loop, or you join the loop or you destroy the loop, they are all loops. And how did they become immortal? Does everyone agree that immortality = garbage?

>relapsingOh, have other black people already wanted to do it? I thought everyone was happy with their coal lesbians and continued their gem lives... Who has already advanced in that? I also want >:3

>is the entire mantle

Does that exist and you won't let him have my nuclear explosion? Anyway, the hypotenuse... Seriously, is that entity so immense?

>backwards

What if it turned to dust after being destroyed? Let's say you razed a forest, attached all that matter to the human body to form the "sage" and used your own composition to harden it and shape it. Something like that sounds epic and poetic, which is what I was looking for. Technically there are no other ambers apart from these three, so their creation must have been special, replicable, but unrepeatable.

>is young

Well that's why she said it so confidently, even I thought she was lying kek

>desolate

See? You didn't pay attention kek, lie that's why the story starts with "how miserable she was", everything that came close to her or was against what she wanted, she annihilated him. That is until the human fucked her so hard in the yugioh that she got Stockholm syndrome and committed suicide :D

Rather than being 5 thousand years, it was probably only 50 years of knowing each other. That is the beauty of his tragedy, as soon as he noticed that he would stop being "him", he asked him to do it and get him out of that loop. Before saying that he always wanted to have 3 children, a boy, a girl and the last one that luck decides.

>don't be power puto

But mamaaaaaaa kek And what would be the limit? Because she would be at that level, she already died so this would only be narrative, but it is still interesting to define.

>mosquito in amber

What a son of a bitch animal, the bastard has been fucking and fucking for millions of millions of years... Sorry, I have a mosquito problem kek

And how are normal gems born? I suspect that it is due to pressure in the subsoil, right?

>dry leaves

Now I understand that they want to erase immortality, that is not life.

>can have sexual organs

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

>but cannot be played

( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)

>18 billion

So no one has died since they became immortal? Wow... Now there is another reason for the human to ask that of the original gem and thus end the cycle of suffering.

>later

Can they now? (° ͜ʖ °)

>Rhodochrosite

Is he another black guy or an NPC to ally with?

>aldo

Before I forget, can you three have a walkman? To justify his favorite songs.

>>10196
>you barely know anything about the gems that exist on the Crystalline Earth due to the misappropriation of information that is usually in charge of the "regime" of the Cortex
Yeah, basically she doesn't know anything about anything, that's the funny thing about the monkey, playing with her ignorance, disbelief, nobility and letting herself be carried away by her authorities or influences, yes, she's not stupid but she is VERY ignorant kuek

>I can only imagine your character living with the most "human" humans, and fewer insects at the most advanced points
She loves everyone equally, it doesn't matter if they are chaotic or ugly beasts that want to eat her. She loves them! Although his personality is something natural, something instinctive, rather than generated, he was born with it, but better, as you say, oh.

>You could also choose to be a Crystalline Earth gem who was born on the surface and has a Crust alignment.
Hmmmmm, I like that he was born on the surface and for some reason he arrived at The Cortex, it could be Although! I like the idea of ​​it being in contact with humans, I don't know, I feel like it makes sense so full The Cortex.

>Do you agree with it? Much of the role is based on solving emotional issues raw and without tricks.
Do you find that being with her generates a slight pleasant sensation? Something that doesn't influence that much but that anyone knows that Rodo is nearby when they feel her small effect, not so strong but characteristic of her, from then on everything is fine, she could accelerate the healing of the gems that heal slowly and already heal the non-gems, whatever the case, everything seems excellent and perfect to me, I know that my monkey is kind of useless but it's funny.

Cy although I use chatgpt to refine the ideas I have and accommodate them or summarize them with more accurate words, curiously I only use it where I put emojis to differentiate KEKO

>Your PC can be as human as Ambar is, there is no problem.Ayyyyyy, curiously, I have the conception of my monkey as something that is not human and that wants to try to be human. Is Phos Theseus' ship? Well, Rodo is going to be the bicentennial man! How do you see it?! Keksito.

>>10172

Even if it was just a dream, your work as "Fluorita" has been of great importance to all of us. I hope that you are also receiving your well-deserved rest Alloclasa, although looking at the current situation I am not sure that such a thing is possible...

>He put his hand on Alloclasa's shoulder and moved her away before touching her.
>He stared at his hand to check if his silica control was an ability he still possessed
>If that were the case, he would cover his palm with a fluffy layer of it and carefully place it on the ancient Fluorite's shoulder.

Those unpleasant emotions are also proof of your effort Almandine. Do not let yourself be overcome by them, instead use them as your source of energy, keep them as a simple reminder of what happened and what will happen if you abandon your work.

>Unpleasant emotions are something that Taaffeita knows very, very well.

It doesn't matter if it's for a short time or a long time, I want to know about you Almandine. You are a gem as important as the rest who have inhabited these lands and you deserve to be remembered. So please allow me to try to take away as many memories of you as possible before it's too late. I want to know, I want to know about everything that ails you and everything that makes you proud, but that is only possible if you allow me.

Ohh, poor 57 must be very hurt by the loss of her sister and companion. Carnelian and Anatasa... saw so little before disappearing, it's a real shame just like the rest.

Don't worry, I'm convinced he'll come back sooner or later. Sorry if I didn't understand correctly, but according to what you just said, Uranocircite is safe, isn't it? As long as that's the case I don't think we should worry, she's always been good at avoiding danger.

>He had to hold back a small laugh as soon as he heard about Leucosapphire
>During her stay in heaven she had already shown strange behaviors such as avoiding communication
>Her supposed "collaboration" with the cortex must be another of her curious ways so that the rest do not worry about her
>The least Taaffeita can do for her right now is play along and pretend as if nothing happened once she returns.
>Uranocircite on the other hand is a more difficult case to understand, since Taaffeite has not interacted with it much
>At times like these he cannot help but regret such a thing, he would have greatly liked to be able to give him the same treatment that he gave to Almandine recently.
>By comparing it with this one you can get an idea of the pain that must have gone through after so many centuries of loneliness
>Only in his case it's worse because of how limited his range of movement was across the island.
>Wherever you are, you hope that you can enjoy your freedom at ease now that you can finally

I understand, so Padparadscha was always right... Gems that are taken to the crust never return.

>He sat next to Purple Topaz and placed his hand on hers to support her as soon as she heard such horrible information.
>Taaffeita's gaze was once again focused on no fixed point, he only looked into the distance with a certain nostalgia
>His melancholic response showed a certain disconsolation at that, although what really hurt him was not the definitive loss of other
>No, what bothered him most about all this was the fact that he had been foolishly believing that they would return for so long.
>Now you see how futile it was to hold out your hopes for such a thing...

The... idea of falling in combat is something that every gem who dedicates themselves to it has come to think about. No, every gem found near a pyroclast must have feared for its life at least once. (...) And just as we all think about that, we have also visualized the idea of ​​these disappearing.

>Her gaze finally met Purple Topaz's after she dropped on top of her.
>Carefully, he placed his right hand on Purple Topaz's shoulder while his left rested on her back.
>Slowly he raised his left hand until he reached Purple Topaz's head and allowed him to rest on his shoulder.
>While trying to comfort her with that hug, Taaffeita spoke
>At first it was difficult to know what to say, but once he found the right words he began to speak completely naturally.
>Fighting pyroclasts has always involved a risk, that is something that has not changed during the time it has been inactive
>There have been many changes during all these years, but right now the one that interested him the most was...

I came to believe that that day would never come and that this was simply the natural state of things. However, that is not true and all this is nothing more than a cruel fate that has been imposed on us for the sake of some of the most unpleasant creatures... We must suffer so that they do not... Such an idea is something that I dislike from the depths of my inclusions and I doubt that there is a single gem in this academy that could agree with such a thing

>Now that Taaffeita's hands were on top of Purple Topaz, she could feel the moment when they started to tremble.
>Getting rid of pyroclasts completely forever is something you once thought would never happen
>And right now, an opportunity was being presented to him to not only take down these but also those who control them
>Taaffeita is incapable of feeling any kind of empathy for exochroid humans and gems as distorted as those of the cortex only cause him disgust.
>If she needed to eliminate any of these, she would not hesitate to do so and is convinced that the rest of the gems must think the same.>Still, he understands why Purple Topaz is so hesitant to make a decision.
>Especially when she is the one who currently holds the position of leader

Topac...purple...Topur! You are the kindest and kindest gem there is. No matter what decision you make, you could never be treated as heartless. Confronting the pyroclasts and those behind them is something we must do. No matter how difficult the path that awaits us may be, you will continue to lovingly instruct each and every one of the gems of this place.

>I hesitate for a moment when referring to Purple Topaz
>Topac was a nickname given when he was still a mystic and it no longer suited him as well as before.
>Purple on the other hand was too simple to even be considered a nickname.
>It was necessary to give him a new one and Topur was the perfect one to start using from today
>With that matter aside, Taaffeita was finally able to focus on the issue at hand
>The fact that Purple Topaz hesitates so much when making a decision is proof of how much she cares about others
>That's why Taaffeita is convinced that she will remain a kind gem no matter what happens.

That's why I support you Topur, if you need me to be the one to make the decision then I will do it, if you need me to be the one to announce it to the others I will do it. You are someone most precious to me and I am not going to leave you alone in a moment as hard as this, I will help you with everything you want and I will suffer with you if necessary.

>Purple Topaz's kindness is both his greatest virtue and his greatest weakness
>Rutilo took advantage of that a long time ago and caused it to break with simple words
>The responsibility that comes with the position of leader and the cruel decision she has been asked to make must have caused several of these breaks in her.
>Worse still, she had to endure it all alone, but that was no longer the case
>He moved his right hand away from Purple Topaz's shoulder and lowered it until it met her hand.
>Without worrying about the breaks or scratches that this could cause, he joined his fingers with hers and made sure to firmly squeeze her hand.
>As he did this, he gave her the kindest smile and expressed his complete support for everything he needed.
>If he really becomes a soulless gem then it will be Taaffeita's mission to give him a soul again

>>10174
>dreams in different styles
Doesn't everyone do it? If you ever had a dream with a cartoon and another with real things, they would already be two different styles.

>had the idea of making a drawing of
You have many ideas of things to do and your hand doesn't seem to shake when it comes to doing them. It makes me a little envious of people who are so passionate and dedicated to the things they do...

>I don't use images of insect people because there aren't many
Couldn't you use pics of Hollow Knight characters or anything else that features anthropomorphized insects?

>marked 11999
The character limit has always been a lie, the real limit is around 11800 although I have never tested when it cuts off.

>spin-off role
Did you plan to wear 3 roles in parallel? I know bloodline moves slow and even this one isn't that fast, but I still don't know how you manage all that.

>dtp
I have had the doubt for a long time but it never seemed so important to ask it, but what line of thought do you follow when naming images? At first I thought they were letters of the name you gave in the original role or character, but there are several that go against that rule.

>I will need images for the new thread
None of the passes work? I don't know, put cracked skin in danbooru and you will get several pics like these, some will surely work for you.

>>10177

>The beginning of this song is basically Rutilo
Ah, that's where Sally's thing came from, I already said that it seemed strange to me not to understand what Axinita was talking about.

>separate Sapphire and TaaffeiteWe were never very close to begin with. The only times where we could interact was during patrols and once the combat started we both cut off the little chatter we had. In that sense, I did comply with the fact that having Taaffeita as a partner was going to be a very "dry" experience, so to speak.

>Greentea out prequel
Eeh I don't see it, I feel like you would end up forcing a lot of things to be able to connect them at all.

>there is a reason why that role was not liked
I was on this one for a couple of shifts. Look, I tried, I tried with all my might but I can't, I can't black! The great dislike I have for everything China related prevents me from participating, watching or reading anything related to the country and its culture. Even listening to their music irritates my ears and don't get me started on India jeez...
Speaking a little more seriously, China as a concept is quite hated and memed so it is difficult to relate to something set in it And I don't know about the others, but from time to time it felt like the npcs were ignoring me to advance the scene as quickly as possible

>Taaffeite's eyes of different color
I myself didn't put much emphasis on that particularity. With smoke, it takes me a while to think about how to use it to express myself or things like that, but with my eyes, what am I supposed to do? The only real change they represented were the extra things that you already described he saw and from Leucozafiro's point of view the most he could say is something like "Cool" or "Nice color."

>the survey
Would this part of the role have changed much if I hadn't done that? I feel like the whole ending part would have gone worse since Pink Fluorite would be inactive and it would be easier to kidnap her.

>The time he went against that principle
Were you looking for something specific when you walked away? Besides, you already know how to survive and all that.

>I don't know how they will interact
Did you expect us to be more beastly when we met again? Because as I said before, the entire Taaffeita stage is very "I don't want to know anything about anyone" and it was only when Taaffeita 2 began to open up emotionally again, so it was very difficult to achieve such a thing after the kidnapping.

>how androids work
What is there to ask? I doubt you have an ultra-scientific explanation for how they operate and so on and these are the kind of technological things that I tend to assume are practically magic so it's not worth asking. If what you wanted me to ask is how they are integrated into the academy, then that is something you hoped you would expand on later.

>Bark
With this a little the same. I was going to include a dialogue from Taaffeita saying that she preferred to find out everything from Tara before deciding something, but half the time I write I end up doing things different from what I think.

>>10178
>gem suggestions
He had long thought about the idea of a gem with traces of Halite inside it which gave it a sense of taste. Since the rest of the gems would not be able to help you understand, this one would make food for different animals and see what their reaction is when it comes to tasting it. It was just a random idea for a token, I doubt I would use it even if Taaffeita died.

Another thing I also thought about was doing something related to phytomining in the garden, but I never thought of a way to bring that up. I wouldn't know how that would translate into turning it into a particularity linked to a gem, I think Chrysoberyl burying its pieces would be the closest thing.

What I wanted to have was one of the red diamonds about reflecting light to burn things could work for what you are looking for. I'm also seeing that Black Tourmaline can generate some electricity when heated. Wouldn't you also be interested in including the beautiful pic gems?

>>10188
In the first one I think it was Phos's head swimming.

>>10193
>Avalok "father" figure
Avalok went to buy cigarettes.

Also now that Leucosapphire reminded me, I planned to have Taaffeite make portraits of other gems using pigments from her own mineral for the canvas and would also note down certain important details about each one to ensure that they are not forgotten.I feel like the pigments are something that could be used as a feature for another gem as well, something along the lines of depending on what you use, you can dye your silica with colors or something like that.

>Also
Would you by any chance have an image of how you visualize Benitoita/Rubi's work area?

>>10198
>That the horns really are protuberances from Cairngorm, that is, fragments of its original head.
I think it can be resolved with the flashback turn, or with the chapter turns. It would only be seeing how much Yellow Topaz influences Cairgorn, and if she decides to place those fragments in her head to decide that it is her.
Well, the Kiss Shot one doesn't look bad at all, kek
And you don't need to edit either. A lot of the appearance was more of a convention. I didn't force Almandine to edit his pics when I told him he couldn't have wings.
>>10199
It doesn't look bad. I guess the monkey was cheerful in an unusual sense kek

>>10200
>For the subsoil or the surface?
Both. I'm just collecting ideas and putting theirs together as much as I can with mine.
>Research/Experimentation works
Kek contrasts me a lot with the fact that Leucozafiro wasn't exactly very studious. But now it's a mix of gems, so you can try it. I'll build on it, then.
>jobs that exist underground.
Yep. The most important ones are made by gems, because Peridotite knows that they do not lose their minds until thousands of years later. But others are left to the humans who I will detail as those they trust.
>the weapons or tools they know from the bark
Well, I didn't expect someone like Howlita to join, but similar. If this is not the case, I already have a couple of candidate gems for this specific thing.
>that the gems know that pyroclasts are weak to water and have no way of using that to their advantage
Ok, I guess I'll have to expand a little here. I don't know if she let herself be understood by Rutile, or by what Fluorite said to Taaffeite, but, basically, Fluorite knew that the gems she knew were destined to suffer and yet she herself suffered with them. And things like preventing them from attacking the island by flooding the entire terrain, was a reason for the Cortex to react with more intensity and do worse things to harm them all. Even so, for example, he let Tourmaline make her field of flowers that dispelled the pyroclasts because she saw beauty in many things. I'll go into a little more detail about Fluorite's mindset throughout the role.
>interest in art
I like this, and I didn't consider it, thank you. A couple of ideas just occurred to me since Tara is also floating around there.
>using material without inclusions in which they are in contact for a long time would be feasible
It is partly what Rutile did, except that pyroclasts do have inclusions.
>And about the fact that gems can now be born in other ways
B-but they can't. All gem types are derived from the Natural type, even Amber. Although, combining this with the accumulation of Chrysoberyl inclusions, it could give rise to something. I'll have to check out the possibilities. If it's a script hole, I'm going to crash really hard. Although I still have the output of the modification of the dynamics of the Fluorite inclusions
>Pink Diamond already had a number before the Emeths
Yes he had and it is the same one they gave him in the CT. The numbers are like a birthmark, they are not given, but rather read for each gem. It is determined by the way its crystalline network is positioned to accept other mineral traces or inclusions. And apart from that number of "Terminal Elements" there are also other unique markings on each gem that could differentiate them. But ETs are more related to inclusions and inclusions make up gems.

>Does Taaff have an asterism?
I read autism kek I hadn't thought about it, but I think so kek I really like the addition of that piece of mineral on her head, as a child or as an adult. Although it is up to Taaffeíta if he wants to accept that for his design.

>gems you don't know
>the list
Ok, got it. Peridotite's plan may be only 0.001% of what she wants to achieve, and that involves thousands of years, but she's no fool. She will try to get Leucosapphire to distance herself from the factors she believes were the reason Pink Diamond revealed herself. But anyway, I would still make it fulfill most of its functions.>How do gems and humans behave?
I'm still adjusting the humans to give them some play, I can't tell you much. But for gems it is different. Those that do not have contact with humans are superficial. But in its superficiality lies value. For example, Axinite placing star properties on all of them, or Padparadscha evaluating the strength of the others, because he believes that it is an important property. If you move away from that superficiality, pure feeling remains. My best examples are Sapphire 53 which is quite superficial. And Blue Diamond who moved away from all that superficiality, and to whom I hallucinated a very painful background.

>pseudo-telepathy
Ok, the limit is a few hundred meters, no more than a thousand. Androids, a non-playable race in the role, also have telepathy and for them it is the same.
>Do you know the Jojos?
Nope
>Something like extra lives, that when the 513 go down to 0, they return to 513 about three times
Ok, I liked this. It will be like this: You can refill your life 5 times throughout the combat turns, you choose which Ambar to repair each time. But if all three remain at 0 it is a defeat, and even if you have refills you will not be able to use them.
I'm going to do combat simulations with this property and see if I increase refills or modify your damage in any way.

>Another thing I thought is that they could fuse again to have more power when doing so
Well, it conflicts a little with your character's objective. But I do like the designs you gave them. It would be a matter for you to evaluate on your own if it is feasible that they could merge from the beginning or if this would harm Ambar's motivations.

>But does that aura kill humans?
It turns them into little flowers and disintegrates them.
>Why does that aura exist, all gems have it, I have it?
Ok, I will do a summary of why inclusions exist too kek If you can have it. It basically comes with the full package of being a solid entity with no organs capable of thinking and moving. Here is more information (>>9740)
>And how did they become immortal? Does everyone agree that immortality = garbage?
The above. And no, humans who control their evolution discreetly, those who would surround Rhodochrosite for example, do not necessarily see immortality as something bad, changing healthily with it.
There is also the fact that the "Supreme Leader" of the Cortex keeps information at bay regarding how to eliminate this immortality or not so that chaos does not break out. Later we'll talk about what Amber and Rhodochrosite know or don't know about the world.
>Have other black people already wanted to do it?
Yes, since I posted that turn with the metal gem. That gem of the turn hypothetically lived for like 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 years (and I'm missing 1460 more zeros)
>Who has already made progress in this?
Leucosapphire is in the Cortex and sacrificed both his ideal life and his past life to persuade Peridotite. And then Taaffeíta who carries 16 of her broken gem sisters to try to end the conflict with the ones they have left.
If I describe them this way it is because they move me a lot, in general terms. I won't send you to lurk, everything that happened is excessive. But the history of both is going to influence a lot.

>Seriously, is that entity so immense?
Everything has a trick, black. Although Peridotite is so large, it cannot simply erupt a volcano on the Surface. One, because there is its counterpart, which is all the water in the world. And two, because even if he doesn't want to, he has to protect the surface to get rid of the entire mass of humans, because that is where the gems are mainly born (And there is Fluorite)

>What if it turned to dust after being destroyed?
Ok, I would have to study a little if the carbon released from a diamond, with enough water and other resinous bodies, can create amber. I doubt it can be achieved in 50 years, so, if I follow that it was a diamond before, its formation period would be millennia, like that of amber. And I can't give you a bang, but I can give you a pretty flower arrangement that came out of nowhere. As (>>10146 >>10148) the first and fourth pic of these turns.

>That is until the human fucked her so hard
We speak in a sentimental field, right? Kek Although humans accumulate hundreds of souls within themselves, they cannot cope with common gems, much less ones so ancient. Maybe only the natural ones but very young.>And what would be the limit?
A limit, or a reasonable maximum feat for the ancient Amber could be to eat an entire tree, but those of redwood that are tens of meters high. It would be equivalent to Taaffeíta, for example, generating a silica pillar of the length necessary to support part of the weight of the Academy. And she is a natural gem.

>And how are normal gems born? I suspect that it is due to pressure in the subsoil, right?
Yes, they crystallize at the bottom and then suddenly emerge based on pillars of silica. Gems emerge at a rate of 10,000 or 20,000 years throughout the earth in an irregular manner. But, Peridotite makes them emerge on the Crystalline Earth in just hundreds of years, because it is a field of cultivation and experimentation.
>So no one has died since they became immortal?
Well, between 18 billion and 90 million and 18 billion and 30 million there is not much difference. It is much less than 1% of the original 18 billion.
>Can they now?
KEK Wait a while black >///<
>Is he another black guy or an NPC to ally with?
Player. He answered below, he's also in the cortex so he'll probably do the odd turn together

>Can you guys have a walkman between the three of you? To justify his favorite songs.
Okay. But human items and Cortex gems are made from a black rock shell to last for centuries, for longevity. (I won't give you your turn. I'll explain these things above like the composition of gems' clothing.)
And there are humans from the current era, the stellar era and other stages of the civilization that Fluorite diminished, so the songs they post are not crazy if they are listened to inrol.

>>10202
Ok, everything understood, no problem. If you have questions you can ask them. I can't think of a test or memory turn for you, so we'll roleplay the chapter directly. Maybe it'll take me a little while.
>Do you think that being with her generates a slight pleasant sensation?
Well. Anyway most of the interactions will be based on what I said before. Inrol words and actions surpass impressions, that's all. I could explain this as the ability of some gems to avoid breaking others based on how they express themselves and impact others. There is an example here (>>89935). Another more recent one is the contacts and half contacts that Taaffeíta has in the last shift that he just sent
>Well Rodo is going to be the bicentennial man! How do you see it?!
Kek seems phenomenal to me. I'll work with that. I can't promise you a faithful line of growth, because sometimes I take turns, or your character could go outside of what was planned and achieve something totally different. But the idea is there, I'll keep it.

>>10204
>they would be two different styles.
I was referring to styles for role dreams. But we don't have to give it much more thought, kek
>I'm a little envious of people who are so passionate and dedicated to the things they do...
I don't know what to tell you. The first thing I thought was to highlight defects such as the fact that I barely made any progress on Glaze's animation because I focused on something else. But, that.
>Couldn't you use pics of Hollow Knight characters or anything else that features anthropomorphized insects?
Well, I'm strongly considering using normal characters and saying, "Now. Imagine them with cracked textures." But even if I do that, I would have to find something in common with those characters to use them.
It's a little aesthetic hobby, I hope you understand. If you use any type of image to reference things on the shift, there is no problem, none.
>the real limit is around 11800
Thanks for the info. Reaching the exact 12k doesn't usually happen to me, so it was the first time I noticed it kek
>Did you plan to wear 3 roles in parallel?
No, not at all. I would like to split in two to roleplay some events in Bloodline. At one point a year ago I said to myself, "ok, I have time, I can roleplay Bloodline" but I still approached it as something light. And then everything was an upward spiral of creativity.
The fact that things are going well in Bloodline has meant that it takes us a little longer than usual at Glaze for this second part. I am guiltily happy, because unconsciously I feel like I dragged them along a little.

>what line of thought do you follow when naming images?The KEK black autistic line Now seriously. I take a few letters from the character's name, a few letters from the name in the role, or from their nickname if I named it something funny, create an anagram in two seconds and download the first image. Then I simply place that code at the beginning of each download and continue. The real organization is found in folders within a hard drive. But that's the most autistic I'll ever have to write for Bloodline, so I'll save myself accumulate the grief until then.

>None of the passes work?
Well yes. And I also found a couple more that maybe I can use. Includes metals. He posted it later.

>Taaffeita as a companion was going to be a very "dry" experience so to speak
Far from it. And about the turn that I read a little quickly now. Taaffeíta did have appreciation for Leucozafiro, right? Padparadscha did it with Rubí, and vice versa, no matter how undesirable the first sometimes is with the second.

>Eeh I don't see it, I feel like you would end up forcing a lot of things to be able to connect them at all.
Well, I included the concept of proto inclusions. And then there was a plot of souls that would have to be transferred to the United States. Much of the spinoff role was going to draw on things like Psycho Pass, which I also like.

>it is quite hated and memed so it is difficult to relate to something set in this
Yes, well. Sometimes I speak from trauma. No problem, now I get it

>but with the eyes, what am I supposed to do?
I understand. I don't answer because my ideas are going to kill me Do you have any suggestions for particularities of Taaffeíta now? Or rather, how would you like the Diamond parties in Taaff to work?

>Would this part of the role have changed much if I hadn't done that?
Not really. It is as you say, and the Kunzite-Fluorite would not be 100%. So perhaps even Peridotite would have been disappointed and canceled the invasion. Of course, there would be more Rutilo dialogues.

>Were you looking for something specific when you walked away?
She was between doing what you did, saving Aragonitus and Antofilita. Or follow Taaff's instructions and save herself. He chose the first

>Did you expect us to be more beastly when we met again?
Not necessarily. I don't control the dynamics of their characters, so to start blaming me because I didn't give a precise set for the scene would be unfair. Now I only have a certain excitement to see what a hypothetical second reunion within the role would be like.

>What should I ask? I doubt you have an ultra-scientific explanation for how they operate.
I didn't mean to complain. It was a reaction to posting 10 things without receiving feedback ayyy But first I should have been used to the fact that they post meta after sending a turn. They do it lately, but the rest of the thread will be meta, in my opinion.
I will explain about the robots in due course, with a section on the data of the Cortex or inrol. They have different functions depending on whether they are subject to the vinitoid, nimbirean, exochrode or silicoclaceum.

>sense of taste.
I was playing like this in the non-canon turn. I'm going to see if I can come up with something coherent that the gems can eat to implement into the role. I'm also going to consider the other ideas for a while.

>Wouldn't you also be interested in including the beautiful pic gems?
Kek I think it would make them very autistic. I'm already telling you no because I still have a lot of autism left with Tara and with an Antofilita-Timeskip.
My idea was to include a duo like a Hecatolite-Heliolite.

>using pigments from his own mineral for the canvas and would also note down certain important details about each one to ensure that they are not forgotten.
The Kunzite thing, right? I find it adorable. But I think she will have her work cut out for her with the range of gems that were just born and those that were rescued as well. Hence my question.

I will post about Benito/Rubi to the next meta, I will do it with AI, now that it is late it is getting boring And I had remembered a question to ask Leucozafiro, but I forgot it as I was meta, how funny and what a disgrace.

What kind of gems do you think would agree to train during the 300/600 years of role? I already believe that with the birth of the new Alexandrita, Padparadscha would be tactful enough to try to take care of her, before Taaffeíta does it for the memories she retains.But Purple Topaz, for example, I think she would love the idea of ​​Taaffeíta training her because of the memories she keeps. And after that Alex. Would Taaffeite be responsible for forming other gems of hardness 8, 9 or 10?
I think the work of training gems could be shared between Padparadscha, Purple Topaz, Taaffeite, Heliodor 57 and Grossularia, for gems with hardness 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6 respectively. With Green Diamond also attending those of hardness 10. And Padparadscha to those of hardness 9, the time that Purple finishes correctly instructing the Ancient gems.
But that's my opinion. If for whatever reason, you would like Taaffeíta to take care of the gems of 10, or all the gems of 7 down, I would reorder everything to follow the PC.
There is also the issue of Dumor and little Rutilo. Could Taaffeita not fully train them, but keep her duo in combat practice for a while?

And and after the failed round of "serious" questions (which I forgot), for both Taaffeíta and Leucozafiro, I was going to ask them if they were liking the role. Are you liking the role? kek What do you think of certain moments? Or do they hold something back about my role or the characters? Anything. Far from complicated words, I am bad at expressing that I love the role, I love them and I greatly appreciate the time we have been role-playing.

>>10205
>unusual kek
KEKAZO. I started looking for better avatars and I think this cute Chinese girl fits her. And you know, depending on the flashback, I may end up using Draco or Kiss Shot... Or the latter may end up being a more future version of this, when those same protuberances end up falling off.

>>10205
>It is partly what Rutile did, except that pyroclasts do have inclusions.
I also imagine it to be something similar to the deformities of the ears and wings, that the parts that are attached do not have the exact shape of the part they repair.

When Kunzite was trying to stabilize Onix in his room, I think you had talked about a treatment for Kunzite's forgetfulness based on interacting more with Uranocircite, but that over time he would lose his identity or adopt the personality of Uranus. Did I misunderstand that or did it never happen? I find it interesting that instead of just erasing memories, the radioactive gems fill in those gaps with themselves, basically.

>B-but they can't.
Maybe I misinterpreted things I read throughout the meta. Gems only have one way of being born but others of being modified. It would have been strange if the half of Sapphire that remained on the surface had gotten up and was hanging around the academy before I came down from the atmosphere or if Ametrino had split into two sentient gems. It seems confusing to me.

>It turns them into little flowers and disintegrates them.
That sounds like magical girl power.

>Are you liking the role?
I think that from the abduction to the atmosphere I liked it a lot, it feels more serious or with more emotional, dramatic or important moments for the plot.

>What do you think of certain moments?
There were several good ones before this part of the role, but they were more occasional. It felt more comfortable or slice of life and moments like that were less common. I liked it before too, except that here these moments happen more often, because of the pace before I didn't expect the invasion to happen so quickly and that maybe I would have more time before trying to go with Uranus or to the crust.

>Or do you hold something back about my role or the characters?
I feel like some characters that we don't interact with as much stay in the background and then stop being part of the role without me knowing as much about them or their things are only mentioned as secondary details in the middle of other turns, like Kunzite's story after she disappeared. Good moments happen when I can learn those important things about the characters firsthand and get to know them in depth in scenes like this.

Sometimes the narration or the expositions are very complicated for me or the ways in which the characters express themselves seem strange to me and it is difficult to fully understand, but if I have made it this far I suppose it has not been a big problem. I love them too.

Why did Anatasa close her eyes when they fought with Rutilo and the blocks? It made me think that I wanted to tell her and Brookita that Padparadscha was wrong again and that they were both cute and nothing like Rutilo, but the last time I interacted with one of them was before she was kidnapped by Tara and the first time I talked to the other was before she was kidnapped by Pedotita.

This Miku is from a video that yt recommended to me and some vocaloid songs, she reminds me of Dioptase with her crystals. I can't imagine Dio looking so different from Sapphire.

>>10205
>I can't tell you

Okay, I guess I'll know inrol and so on. I didn't really understand superficiality or what parameter they follow to stop being superficial, but I imagine it's because they haven't surrounded themselves so much with gems. I wait to see it more developed.

>delimited equal

It was more of a plot device so that even if something like an explosion sends them flying, they can still get back together and not each one go their own way when they get lost. But hey, I guess it will do.

>if all three remain at 0 it is a defeat

It sounds good, I didn't want to break myself or anything, I just found the properties of amber as an organic gem curious and from there everything increased naturally as I like it.

>collides with his characterWell, there would be a trick because joining together like this would cause them either physical pain or depression the more time passes, even if they have complete memories of the previous gem, it would give them a very hard identity crisis the more time passes because they are no longer "her", they do not think or look like her, generating an existential void. In the end they would separate again.

I also thought that they could fuse with other gems based on their sap to create the new body, yes, like in SU. Something like the pics in case it's Rhodocronite, for example... Oh, and change the design to Amory completely because it looked very metallic and I doubt it would fit, now being the first pic.

For guidance if possible:

Fuse Amory: Defining masculine traits, highlighting his loyalty and dominance, gentleman archetype, short hair generally normal except for details.

Fuse Amber: Feminine features (noticeable breasts and hips), aggressiveness and violence, soldier archetype, long hair as a general rule.

Fuse Amiel: Androgynous features (ironing board) highlights his drama and intelligence, playwright archetype, medium hair, neither short nor long.

>if I can have ki aura

And it is unlocked and mastered, right?

>keeps information at bay

So there are known methods to eliminate it from everyone? It sounds to me like there's a cat in the bag... Anyway, I imagine there are two sides, those who have had enough of being immortal and those who are afraid of death.

>lived many zeros

In constant agony? :3

That raises another question for me, how old is the earth here? Are the gems aliens or did aliens come to give humans the secret of immortality? Shouldn't the sun have become a red dwarf by this point?

>Leucosapphire and Taafeite

Okay, I'll write it down. And don't call Taaf ugly, it's rude umu can I merge with them? >:3

>get rid of humans

So they are an oppressed and expendable race? Damn, in the end it is necessary to larp the fat sucker from what I see, better for me.

>I doubt it will be 50 years

50 years passed between the original gem and the human getting to know each other and being happy, and then the process of creating the ambers could last as long as it took, although it would be the most resistant walkman in the world if it manages to survive all that kek

>a floral ornament

How many kilos of TNT are we talking about? Because I want to explode and destroy a small forest, it doesn't matter if it's alone or by gathering a LOT of explosive materials!!!!!!!!

>sentimental field

More in the intellectual sphere, the game in which they were fighting was his favorite and he dedicated almost his entire life to it, that's exactly why he could never beat the guy and the rest is history, between talks and talks he fell in love uwu

>accumulate hundreds of souls

That what? Now there are souls like in souls? Is Glaze the Dark souls of gem roles?

>eat a tree

Damn... It made me feel sick just listening to it kek. Following the line that it was an ancient diamond, he was able to devise with his great intelligence and experience a method to explode and destroy itself, because he knew that it was very hard. Thus destroying the forest, obtaining enough plant material and the human body as a mold... Let's not forget that his life was spent from conflict to conflict until he met his pro player, perhaps he met peridotite and it gave him many headaches kek

>this is how gems are born

I got lost in the part about the bee and the flower ;_;

>Player

I already saw it, and his monkey is very autistic, perfect for destroying a millennia-long empire.

>gem clothing

Speaking of which, was I born with clothes? Do all gems do this or are they made? Can they be destroyed or are they as hard as the gem itself?

>epochs

Inrol explains why the diamond probably knew all that, while the original human was a low-profile nomad who collected different ancient devices and went to his cave to continue enjoying his little games.

>>10205
>Autistic Taaf
By human standards all gems should fall within the autism spectrum, especially today when the requirements continue to lower.

>it's up to Taaffeíta if he wants to accept thatWhen I made the file I didn't see that it had any of that, I barely thought about it when you uploaded the video in which it had them. I would say that during the stage from Taaff to Taaffeita it is quite easy to imagine wearing something like that, but now with yellow Taaffeita I don't know if having it convinces me at all.

>generate a silica pillar of the length necessary to support part of the weight of the Academy
Can I do that!? Since when?

Also, you forgot to mention Amber, although I see that she saw it and another thing that I forgot to mention before is that several of the links that you passed to the touhou wikia are not useful.

>>10206
>Taaffeíta did appreciate Leucozafiro
At first he would say that he had her as a partner because they told him to have her as such and he had no reason to refuse. By the time he started calling her Corindón is when you can say that he started to see her as a real partner instead of one out of "obligation." Although after that the whole kidnapping thing happened and so on that made her resent her for staying silent. I don't come close to hating her, but as was seen with the slap, it does bother her that she did that. Putting it in kinder terms, you could say she was upset because she cared. Your current opinion of this is now a different topic, below I will explain it better,

>I included the concept of proto inclusions
I must not have read enough to see that or I don't remember it. I also suppose that part of why I am so turned off by the idea of ​​the roles sharing continuity has to do with my idea of ​​​​how he visualized the technological level that existed before in Glaze. Instead of your typical dark neon lit cities I see more of the solarpunk style that went very wrong and ended the way it did.

>Do you have any suggestions for specifics of Taaffeíta now?
Extra life because of having hardness 10 parts I suppose. Since there's the whole issue of inclusions regenerating faster and it's going to take a long time to experiment with silica, could you do what you're trying to do before re-gluing pieces or preventing them from coming loose using this?

>How would you like the Diamond parties in Taaff to work?
More than anything I'm going to use it for emotional changes that I'm already representing, below I continue with that too.

>I didn't mean to complain.
Don't interpret it as a complaint by any means, many times I speak/write in a sharp way and I don't realize it. It did sound like some of that wasn't the intention.

>post meta after sending turn
Answering meta before a turn makes me feel like I'm procrastinating, if there's no turn in between it doesn't matter.

>the rest of the thread will be meta
I would say that a good part of the next one will also be the same, seeing how things are.

>something coherent that the gems can eat
I had that idea for a token long before I knew that eating seaweed gave me a sense of taste. Food in roles is a pretty ignorable aspect, like going to the bathroom even more so in a story like this where we literally don't need such things. It could lead to some funny reactions to start eating luminous desserts like in Houseki no kuni, but outside of curiosity I don't see it being so necessary to do such a thing.

>Kunzite thing
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, I know that Kunzita made the occasional drawing but she made them in pencil in her notebook. What I thought was more to start asking for small pieces of other people's hair to grind them and mix them in the paint that I would use to paint.

>I forgot as I was messing
The same thing almost always happens to me: I think about commenting on X thing about something in the turn/meta and once the turn is published, I completely forget that I was supposed to do that.

Lo único que recuerdo ahora son cosas randoms como un diálogo de Crisocola diciendo "Podría revelarme" cuando escuchó sobre lo de la encuesta, iba a hacer el chiste de "Crisocola traicionada y encerrada durante 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 (y los 43 que faltan) años" porque sonaba mucho a que esperabas que alguien hiciera el chiste.

The other is on the subject of the bust. More specifically that of Almandin, who went from a character with a modest chest to Maou who carries quite a lot on top of him. Can something like that grow or is it just that you couldn't find anyone better to represent Almandin?BB also has a good couple of assets in the chest area and I know I made the joke about shiny tittie gemmy mommy, but it would seem strange to me that when rebuilding Taaffeita they worried about increasing that area specifically. Unless the pic 2 kek thing has happened. I like to visualize the gems with a flat chest like in Houseki no kuni or at most a modest one.

>What kind of gems do you think would agree to train during the 300/600 role years?
Because of the type of situation they are in, I don't see them making exceptions for anyone regardless of the hardness or type of mineral they have. He said that he was going to help Purple Topaz with whatever she needed, so he would do whatever work she asked him to do, the same if he saw that she was under a lot of pressure with X thing that would make Taaffeita offer to reduce the burden of being a leader.

>new Alexandrite
>would love the idea of Taaffeíta training her because of the memories she keeps
Yes, well, since I lost a good part of the original mineral and with that a large amount of memories I thought I would make Taaffeita completely forget its first 50 years + the turns of the first thread that were erased. The most she remembers about Alexandrita now is that she was kidnapped and was an important gem to her, but in the absence of more detail she sees that in the same way as someone who lost a family member at a very young age would. She knows that there was a time when they were very close, but she is not able to feel sadness about something like that because she is unable to remember something that makes her sad.

The same with Mystic Topaz, everything about her during those years is completely erased and she is recognized more by her current state as purple. So when he says that she is the kindest and kindest gem he knows, he is making up a little too strongly the idea that he should have of her in order to fill in the gaps.

Howlita and Benitoita barely interacted with them, so in the absence of more information he barely remembers their names.

Now that I have touched on the topic of Purple Topaz and how Taaffeita pseudo-invents her impressions on others, I think it is time to clarify the changes produced by the pieces of Yellow Diamond and Bort within her.

The first thing is that like Tanzanite, Taaffeite would seek to establish direct contact with other gems. Only unlike this Taaffeita she wouldn't be so direct about crashing and breaking herself and the others to give a hug. Taaffeite would spend his time using his silica to make sure he touches others delicately and does not break them, unless it is a case like Purple Topaz where they have the same hardness. Except not because I just realized that my hands are hardness 10 and Purple Topaz's are 8, so I accidentally broke his fingers kek

The second thing is that in these turns as yellow Taaffeita I have been putting things like her showing indifference to the loss of others. Or getting more upset about proving Padparadscha right/being wrong rather than the fact that the gems taken to the crust are completely lost.
When I commented earlier that Taaffeita was completely abandoning the idea of ​​getting Alexandrita back I meant it in the most literal sense possible. It's not just that he no longer believes that it will come back but that now every time any gem is taken, Taaffeita is going to react like "Well now" because he sees no point in worrying about such things.

Gems like Anatasa who interacted with the most can cause a reaction like the hand shaking last turn, but outside of that Taaffeita won't show any other expression of sadness beyond saying "It's a shame." Just because he behaves this way does not mean that he has lost affection for them, far from it, and that brings me to point number 3.

The third change that I have also been dealing with is that Taaffeita is more open to the idea of spending time with others and listening to them as much as necessary. By having pieces of gems much older than her, she has developed this idea of ​​feeling older than she is and will treat everyone as if she were the older sister they can trust, even if that gem is someone older than purple who is several years older than her.The thing with this is that no matter how much you listen and spend time with others, most of the time you are going to stare into nothingness. He will be there for the others, but at the same time he will not be there for the others and every time he stops being with someone his attitude will be "I'm sure he is doing well" that would be basically what he thinks of Leucozafiro currently. Instead of going into details or worrying about someone he cannot see, he will only assume the best, unless it is clear that he is confirmed dead.

>Dumor and little Rutilo
Yellow Taaffeita's big sister aura is greater than her contempt for Bark Rutile so she should no longer have any problems interacting with chibi Rutile beyond a slight moment of confusion upon seeing her from time to time. I don't see any problem with Dumortierite either.

>>10206

>Are you liking the role?
We have been playing black for two years, if I didn't like it I wouldn't be here.
I always see OPs asking what the players think of the role, but I very rarely see them start talking about what they think of the characters. So he applied the uno reverse card and asked: Are you liking our characters? What do you think about our reactions to certain moments? Do you have anything in mind about our way of carrying and role-playing them?

>What do you think of certain moments?
I had already said that I tend to think of this role more as a pseudo slice of life, so the moments of just talking to other characters are the ones I tend to like the most. Regarding the action parts, things like the fact that during the fights against Rutilo something always happens that prevents me from completely overcoming them seem very lore accurate to me and help with that idea of ​​feeling how serious the situation is.

Expanding a little more on the slice of life thing, I feel that during the first thread, as I was getting familiar with the role and how things work, I couldn't have enough good moments with gems like Alexandrita or Kunzite herself since I didn't know what consequences there could be regarding that.
Speaking of lost opportunities, I feel a little sorry for not having had a turn in combat with Anatasa after becoming partners, unless I forgot something we only fought when the bark attacked and that was practically a pitched battle.

Another thing I like is how well you keep up with the passage of time. The number of roles where a day extends ad infinitum with 60 events in less than 5 hours is quite high. Here we have been playing for centuries and I have hardly felt that there has been any rush to be able to move the hands of the clock as quickly as possible.

>Or do you hold something back about my role or the characters?
I'm already used to this, but I feel like you have a tendency to assume that others understand the same thing as you.
You explained to me, as the loremaster behind the role, you are clear about several aspects of it that we as players are unaware of and when explaining them you usually talk about them as if they were information that we should already know when that is not the case.

One of the first times I remember this thing of not knowing what was happening happened to me is when Alexandrita helped Yellow Diamond get up with the help of a pair of gloves. At that time I had no idea about gloves so in my head that action was seen as something that in my current state I couldn't achieve. Based on that I assume that Taaffeita arouses admiration for Alexandrita, then I read about the gloves and was like "well Taaffeita is stupid, nothing that was not known"

As I say, I've been here long enough to more or less be able to keep up with you with those things, but now that there are going to be new players you should try to be a little more "accessible" when it comes to taking turns.
In Amber's turn, for example, I would advise you to first clarify what her relationship is with the characters in question and leave the description of what the crust or the arctic is like for later.

>I love and appreciate you very much
Heart, heart, heart

>>10207
>Or perhaps this last one will end up being a future version of this one, once those same protrusions finally fall off.
That one looks a bit better, it has the quartz white kek and yes, you can make any changes you want to your character during the roleplay. Throughout the chapters, there will likely be important and smaller timeskips.

>Did I misunderstand that or did it never happen?
Yes, yes. In fact, I think I had forgotten. But things like the aura were there, so it wasn't completely erased from my mind. I knew I was missing a reason for Sapphire to remember what Uranus told her even though she had been irradiating her for so long. She was simply thinking that she was transmitting the bad and harmful part of her personality when it was the complete opposite.

But Leucozafiro fainted anyway, so radioactivity is still harmful regardless of whether it is well-intentioned or not.
>or that Ametrine had split into two conscious gems.
Onyx was 2 in 1. Following that, it seemed feasible to me that Amber was 1 that then became 3. But, I don't think I would have accepted it if it were a reconstructed or natural gem. It's the kind of rare thing I would expect from gems that are hundreds of thousands of years old, who suffered alone for a long time. (And detail. For gem inclusions to develop and be able to save humans, gems have to be in contact with others. I think I mentioned it before. Suffering alone for a long time only destabilized her, it didn't make her a salvation machine)

>the abduction into the atmosphere
That's good to hear. During that part, I was worried that introducing such massive beings would make it lose its dramatic effect.

>I feel like some characters we don't interact with as much get left in the background
It's because I tend to change plans throughout the roleplay. For example, I had planned for Almandine and Moissanite to have a bigger impact on Taaffeite, but then I changed my mind. Then there's the issue that Imperial Topaz really admired Sapphire, but I can't develop that anymore because it's dust. For Taaffeite at least, a character who will take on more importance will be Heliodor, or at least that's what I plan.

>For what reason did Anatase close her eyes when they fought Rutilo and the blocks?
It was like seeing herself destroying her sisters. But she couldn't express it because she was at risk. I managed a passive idea that Anatasa felt some guilt for knowing that the gem that hurt Taaffeíta so much was a Rutile like her. In fact, it was the real reason she was attached to Taaffeíta. Because of things like that, I could barely complain about the rumors.

>I can't imagine a Dio with a completely different appearance from Sapphire.
Well, I decided on Dioptase's timeskip appearance a while ago kek She's another singer girl.

>>10209
>I didn't really understand the superficiality thing
Well, from the beginning of the roleplay, I've been playing with the idea that girls always have two layers of personality on top. It's the first thing Chrysoberyl, an important gem, tells Kunzite in the first thread (Kunzite, who was Leucozafiro's previous character).
It's basically a pre-conception of the roleplay kek So now I'm toying with the idea that humans are extremely sincere creatures. Interestingly, I already set up a hell like that in Bloodline.

>fusing with other gems based on their wisdom to create a new body
Explained like that, the first part, about amber gems joining together, sounds good. The fusion with other gems, on the other hand, beyond the fact that I would propose it as a recovery, seems very premature to me. I think we would have to roleplay at least one or two important moments within the first chapter to have the character defined.

No misunderstandings. I really like the idea, in fact, I'd like to discuss exactly how a fusion would be roleplayed. But before that, I'd prefer to explore Amber during the beginning, and if she can develop her character organically, even better. Otherwise, I think I'd end up treating her as a complementary element for the others rather than her own story.

In summary, let's not get ahead of ourselves yet.
>And it unlocks and masters, right?
Yep. That's one of two intrinsic abilities that gems possess, whether they are talented or not, they have it. I'm going to make her own entry along with the other one, which is "Silica Manipulation." It's in the third post of this thread, I think.
>So there are methods to eliminate her from everyone?
That's why they harass the Surface gems so much. The Surface gems already know this, but not all of the Crust gems do. And the second part is correct.
>In constant agony?
You could say so. Because at that point, she can no longer receive stimuli in any way and all she does is lose 0.0000001% of energy, she just repeats dreams and memories, which for that specific gem, most of them are quite agonizing ayyy
>how old is the earth here?
300,000 years since human civilization fell.
>did aliens come and give humans the secret to immortality?
No. It wasn't necessarily discovered by a human, properly speaking, but it was a consequence of them.
>shouldn't the sun have turned into a red dwarf by now?
The sun ceased to exist, and black holes. Basically, that turn was the heat death of the universe. But it wasn't a canon turn.

>it's rude umu
I never had the guts to make that dark joke, I might start admiring you.
>can I merge with them?
Premature question. There are many potential problems. The position your characters are in doesn't favor the event, I'd have to align Amber's in some way. And then I'd have to come up with a correct situation. And before that, you'd have to ask them, and then figure out exactly how to carry that out.
For me, it's fan service. And if it's something they really want, for example, along with Rhodonite, I'm willing to think hard about it so it doesn't feel forced.
>so they are an oppressed and expendable race?
Killing humans is good, nigger. Most beg for it, sooner or later. In that sense, Peridot isn't so bad.
>Because I want to explode and raze a minimum forest, it doesn't matter if it's alone or by gathering MANY explosive materials!!!!!!!!
Ok, if it's based on effort, then I think it could make sense. Gems have a higher level of hardness and resistance than the average human. The reason I'm against the idea of an explosion is basically that concept, because gems themselves don't have that level of power to immolate themselves.
I think the problem was the method. If, say, Amber managed to find a way to synthesize an explosive material unconsciously and did so by traversing the forest for a very, very long time, until it finally split and the reaction occurred. I think that's a much more coherent idea than a nuclear bomb out of nowhere.
>More in the intellectual realm
Ok. I forgot to mention something important, and that is that humans normally don't go to the Surface. First, they become weaker there due to environmental changes, and second, as I said before, information in the Crust is restricted, as is transportation. If they played on the Surface, that human must have been someone relevant. Although I think that adds more to your story than it detracts.
>What's that? Now there are souls like in Souls games?
Kek, I say souls not to say humans who have the essence of other humans inside them, but which are personalities that they have subdued over time and that they can transform so that either their own or a similar one to the main one comes to the surface. (I'll write this down in the things I need to summarize/explain)

>managed with his great intelligence and experience to devise a method to explode and destroy himself
Ok, I had also thought of this above. I still have a small problem with the explosion thing because, if that hypothetical diamond exploded, then its memories and recollections would have dispersed. Which would not be consistent with the fact that the Ambers effectively have all their mother's memories.

I thought about it a lot, this is my result. All the time Diamond, consciously or unconsciously, managed to try to destroy the forest. However, after thousands of years lost trying to follow this plan, he found a human and the love story happened. After his disappearance, indeed, your Diamond exploded, turned into soot and graphite, however, his was a controlled explosion, most of these carbon remains were deposited in a single place on the ground. Then, after a long time, a forest tried to emerge again in that area. The vegetation reabsorbed this carbon high in inclusions and used it as its own growth enhancer. Eventually, all the carbon in the forest was reabsorbed and let's say three trees generated resin with it, which upon fossilizing turned into amber. (I can still highlight some problems like your inclusions or your memories would have been reabsorbed by the tree and you wouldn't be able to recover them unless you consumed them again. But, however, at this point I think I'm convincing myself that things work this way)

You broke me with the explosion thing, nigger. If you tell me you just wanted an explosion, because for the original Amber it was something like reaching climax, I won't forgive you.

>Do all gems do it or are they made for them? Can they be destroyed or are they as hard as the gem itself?
No, they are made for them. In the cortex the attire they usually use is black, as are their artifacts and structures.
And yes, the clothes are as hard as your gem to prevent them from hurting themselves by simple contact. And they can also be destroyed.

>>10210
>all gems should be on the autism spectrum
Curiously, that is an idea that I already had from the first part. Maybe not autism, but I liked the idea that each gem had some problem or another.
>Can I do that!? Since when?
We were talking about limits for characters. I would say that in a very demanding or desperate situation, with enough material, Taaffeíta could achieve something like that, but it would be his maximum.
>several of the links you passed to the touhou wikia are useless.
How odd. In any case, you can read it simply by copying the name of the topics into Google.

>Instead of your typical dark neon lit cities I see more of the solarpunk style that went very wrong and ended the way it did.
Black, when I read this a long time ago my head opened. In fact, from the first moment I made Rutilo a companion, the idea came to me of making the Cortex in a Gothic style. Pic is basically why I chose Rosa. And then there's the background of this video, which for me was totally the Cortex. >>10173
I'm going to redo a lot of Leucozafiro's turn to follow this aesthetic. So, I'm sorry for Rhodochrosite, but long black dresses are fashionable in the Cortex. Since always. I don't know how I was able to disconnect from that idea several days ago when I took that shift. Also, I cannot deny that it is something that I had internalized from the design that I gave to Zafiro 53, which is also from the cortex

>could you get what you're trying to do before you re-glue pieces or keep them from coming loose using this?
I don't remember this. It's from the last shift. Could you cite it if it's old?
I understood little of the question, but to say the least, silica can only be controlled when it leaves the body, not when it enters. It seems to me that it is something that I detailed before as well. But depending on what you mean maybe I can be a little more flexible.

>I would say that a good part of the next one will also be the same seeing how things are.
It's inopportune that I really wanted to send the extra shifts before changing hllo. I already made the introduction of the following thread and it spoils those turns a bit.

>What I thought was more about asking for small pieces of other people's hair to grind them and mix them in the paint that I would use to paint.
KEK that's the opposite, I can't believe it.
I was referring to the moment when Kunzita asked Taaffeíta to stop breaking her hair and how she wanted the gems to be remembered based on small sculptures, mobile as long as she can control them.

>because it sounded a lot like you were waiting for someone to make the joke.Well no. I really started to tune into that joke in Bloodline. At the time, Chrysocolla distressed me. So Crisocola's "I'm going to reveal myself" dialogue was more of the joke of the Goku Priest who revealed himself. I wrote it with that short v kek
And because of the whole issue that Taaffeite, Topaz and Tanzanite seemed quite rebellious to me by hiding Tara from Fluorite.

>Can something like that grow or is it just that you couldn't find anyone better to represent Almandin?
The explanation is more narrative. I originally made Almandine to be part of Taaff's story, but when Almandine appeared, I made Almandine the Prudently Kind Gem into Almandine the Recklessly Kind Gem. And I don't know, but that new personality suited me more with big breasts.

>Taaffeita were concerned about increasing that area specifically.
Not necessarily. Maybe not so much Yellow Diamond, but Bort was 100 kilograms ahead. If you were built based on them, I don't see it strange that you have also acquired the structure of their body, or rather, the information of their inclusions about how their body is specifically arranged.
>I like to visualize the gems with a flat chest like in Houseki no kuni or at most a modest one.
It's okay, I respect that. In any case, gems barely refer to each other's bodies with words like "it's big" and that's it.

>Taaffeita would have a great time using his silica
Okay. And by the way, you have the silica thing better because Yellow Diamond saved you part of the Stun improvement process. Not from Bort, I think you could only get pure combat from her.

>Instead of going into details or worrying about someone you can't see you will just assume the best, unless it is clear that they confirm that they have died.
Got it, black. Thanks for commenting, it helps me a lot.

There is a concept that I explored a while ago and it is that empty gems have an easier time adopting and controlling alloys. I'd say Taaff now fits this archetype a bit. Do you see Taaffeite using metals or would he prefer to be completely drained versus any accident?
Due to the Happys and their distance communication, both the bell and the smoke signals have lost their main function. (You could still use steam to generate a certain screen and increase the overall movement points. From now on I think I will make the priority system more transparent) And there is also the white watchtower that Antofilita built at any cost, inspired by the enemy tower.

>>10211
>Are you liking our characters?
Of course black, I love them. If I had to play my own role, the most likely thing is that I would end up creating a very serious gem, who reacts coldly to things, with his moments of autism and with certain depressions that he would barely develop. Curiously, my favorite part of Leucozafiro's role is when she gets depressed alone, although it puts me at a crossroads like OP, where I have some uncertainty about how to continue her turns. Taaffeíta would be how he adapts to situations. Beyond the fact that other gems always emphasize that she is good or has heart, I like that you notice how she usually makes correct decisions in the moment, good ones around the uncertainty factor that conflicts always tend to have for her. But from afar, for both characters, outside of the fact that they did it by changing their composition, I love that they changed like they did from the beginning of part 2 turn after turn. It's not something I think I could achieve with the hypothetical character I told you about.

>What do you think about our reactions to certain moments? Do you have anything in mind about our way of carrying and role-playing them?
Their reactions are good. If any of them have disappointed me then I don't remember them. I feel like sometimes I understand their characters well, around the part of their turns that is not dialogue. It doesn't seem like they were forcing anything into being. Like Leucozafiro who relates part of his turns based on "Prove", and Taaffeíta who understand it as "Make things work". I don't really know how to describe that feeling, maybe it's because it's late.

>just talking to other characters is what I usually like the mostAround that, I think Leucozafiro said something similar. For the third part I was planning for the first chapter and part of the second chapter to be something much calmer. But at the end of the second chapter or the third at most, I would be placing an event to which I would label "no return." I think it will be a role-playing thing, but if you really like the quiet part, I think I'll need your help to eat away at some of my anxiety about creating that tense moment.

>I feel a little sorry for not having had a combat turn with Anatasa after becoming partners
What I described above practically happened to me. I couldn't wait for Peridotite's attack to arrive that I forgot, really creating 2 or 3 turns with Leucozafiro's partner Padparadscha and yours partner Anatasa wouldn't have been too complicated.

>when explaining them you usually talk about them as if they were information that we should already know when that is not the case.
Yes, I understand. And I'm noticing it now just messing with Ambar for example. I don't know how to solve it. Maybe making more general descriptions and then adjusting everything with spoiler clarifications for the posts, like in part 1
I feel like even writing summaries I'm like that. Reviewing, for example, the glossary of the first posts. It seems to me that Rhodochrosite and Cairngorm do know about Houseki no Kuni. You could be a little more optimistic and let them go from there, although it would also work as an excuse.

>what is their relationship with the characters in question and you will leave the description of what the crust or the arctic is like for later.
You don't get angry if I ask both of you for feedback like this for me with the new ones, right? I mean could they make it even when I don't ask for it?
>I love them too.
>Heart, heart, heart
And thank you very much

A question for Taaffeíta, a little more projected into the future, is: What would be your position regarding the information that could harm Fluorite? Would you try to soften it or hide it? The fact that Fluorite is the indirect cause of the conflict, and much of what happens is simply trying to alter it.

>Also
The pic of the clothing/weapons room. Only it is wider, twice as large. And there is a very large obsidian rock somewhere.

That Dio looked like Sapphire at the beginning makes sense of Tara capturing her by mistake, although I had already changed my appearance then that changing my appearance now doesn't seem strange to me, I did it before and I don't think there will be another similar situation.

I was thinking of using a different nickname for Taaff if she bothered me or wanted to make fun of her, like Hodor or Dummy, but it's too late. It seemed to me that another gem like Filita had already done it within the role, but I don't remember.

>Killing humans is good
Yes.

>>10214
Since the size of some gems changes a lot depending on the images you use most of the time I assume that the smallest ones are the most canonical.

>Their reactions are good.
It's disappointing to make an effort at a moment or to have an idea that you really like in your head and receive almost no reaction when you do it, it's good that that didn't happen.

>You don't get angry if I ask both of you for feedback like this for me with the new ones, right? I mean could they make it even when I don't ask for it?
I don't think it's okay to tell someone how to do their things better so I wouldn't get involved if they didn't call me. I think it's better to clarify basic things like that gems don't feel pain when breaking, that humans aren't like real-life ones and stuff now so that there isn't a misunderstanding when they're already role-playing like what happened with Almandine. Although some of those things are in the glossary at the beginning of the thread, not everyone reads it or remembers it. I don't know if adding a very condensed one-sentence explanation for each point in a turn makes it cumbersome, but meh. It is more difficult to understand at first, over time they get used to it like Taaff or they go with the flow and pretend to understand as he did with Kunzite when he imitated the behaviors of the gems he was close to after losing his memory.

Taaff and Zafiro's extra shifts are something I've been preparing for a long time. The Cairgorm thing is also going to be something that could give some play. I don't know if they want me to extend this stretch from two to three shifts. And I don't know if it's worse for you to make them wait or play at the wrong time.

Maybe I can send something short to you and Rodochrosite. Although it wouldn't be tomorrow.

>Two Emeth units were enlarged to the size of a house. You are next to Peridotite on a descending platform. Below you is one of the androids that keeps its mouth open to eat, and above you, the second one that keeps it open to fill the empty space. According to Onix, androids usually have jaw pain after things like that. You left the Caldera and Subcrust for miles, but you can still see lines of magma rising from time to time. A Peridotite screen marks the elevation, with a big title that you can't ignore between changes, about Crust 50, 49, 48, etc. Apparently after a new city is built, you always have access to at least 5 levels below it. Peridotite speaks of the last accessible level of the Cortex, while showing false pain.
(Peridotite) I need to clean Corteza45, it is full of waste from the Caldera, and humans. But it is because of those humans that I cannot obliterate the place... I am consumed by guilt and compassion... Of course with Corteza20 it is different! There are almost no humans here. Therefore, I dedicated myself to saving valuable experiments at this level. Of course, you still need to carry that weapon, just in case.
>When she exclaims you finally find something other than solid rock beneath you. This is the edge of an old Headquarters, which the android is allowed to eat to recover material. Thus, while drilling holes in the entire structure, you can occasionally see an abandoned city of billions of inhabitants. Peridotite reaches behind the resting Emeth's head, and immediately reconstructs a weapon made from the super-hard edge of its bark. It's a sword, but it's dull, just the softened edge of Emeth's skin, which is incredibly damaging to any gem. She doesn't argue about whether it can be considered a weapon or not, or whether it is a baton or a bat, Peridotite immediately jumps off the platform to land a few meters below on a large structure made of liquid metal. Among the initial larger group of buildings, there is a megastructure that seems to consume everything around it and turn it into iron. And in the middle of that pile of broken glass and ruins is the figure of a gem, or what Peridotite calls the end of a gem, completely made of metal.
(Peridotite) This is what I wanted to show you, White! This is the final evolution of you gems. I took a large piece of a gem suitable for liberation and processed it in the Cauldron without releasing any humans with it. It took me almost 300 years, but unlike other waste, this iron is completely enriched. (...) In their final form the gems are designed to seize neutron star nuclei on their own. And she's no different, constantly battling me to take over the planet. But of course, I'm 3 million times bigger and stronger, so that won't happen.
>The very process of sending a gem to transform in the Cauldron means that there is a certain percentage of inclusions that are lost and released along with the human vapor. Peridotita mentions that her treatment was perfect, and indeed. You have seen iron residues made from processed gems that remain static and unable to speak. But the metal being in front of them continually reacted to Peridotite's words, being able to open its mouth to complain silently and retreat half a step as soon as it was surprised. Peridotite points to the upper edges of the buildings, and there you can see how the structures themselves break down and liquidate. The transformation goes back to the edges and walls of the Metacrust, but it retraces its steps as Peridotite moves gigantic plates of material without even paying attention. She crosses her arms and explains, as the shape of the gem softens and refines.
(Peridotite) You will surely ask yourself, what is it for? Was he planning to replace me with someone who doesn't have a love for humans as strong as mine? It's false, never! Actually, it's more useful to you than it is to me. Its metal part is perfect to be installed on the Crystalline Earth as a constant surveillance element. When you have grounded yourself, you will be able to feel everything, and hear everything. Of course, since it is not an android, but a gem, we still need a conscious part that can explain to us everything it sees.(-) ...
>He points to the metal body. It maintains a completely smooth area around itself, like an empty space that it always tries to take care of, without disturbances or errors, completely different from pyroclastic appearance technology. For a moment, the shape of the gem seemed to observe them both, only to close its eyes tightly and once again limit its influence on the ground. No matter whether the ground is broken or covered in plants or snow, it seems that it could replace any medium of inactive inclusions with hundreds or thousands of active metal veins. During the rest of the explanation, Peridotite began to give him characteristics typical of a sentient gem. The existence of preferences and behaviors determined your work as one of mediation. The metal body began to widen from the base, as it split into liquid form, you could see the figure of a gem emerge in the middle of it.
(Peridotite) Your body functions in two parts, one very static and the other extremely limited. This metallic 50% of her keeps her conscious, so that her other 35% can move, speak and act. The last 15%... Let's say it's in reserve at Corteza45. She wanted to get rid of that part. I don't understand her but she's still a gem, so it's more likely that you, rather than me, will be able to convince her to help us. It isn't true? (...) Did you hear it, Anatasa? She's here, she's Leucosapphire.
(Anatasa) Why? I'm still not... totally.
>The smooth metal surface was immediately defined, creating bulging figures like mud bubbles. The metal slipped between the fingers and out of the arms of the gem, who used her hands to hold on to these deformed masses. She struggled to get out, and when most of her body was out, Peridotite called her by a familiar name. On the reflective ground, the gem made of anatase crawled, hid its face, and vomited continuously. She looked at you for a moment, but before your eyes met any longer, she let her hair fall as she released the rest of the metal and began to float the rest of her body. The mineral in his hair was black and had bright yellow traces that changed the layout of his body continuously.

>From one moment to the next, all the structures around stopped showing themselves in a replica of them made of metal and became uniform. The clean, empty area began to grow, but the walls of the Metacortex slowly peeled away, creating new barriers that the metal would have to absorb before growing. Peridotite spoke to the newly floated Anatasa, she was disappointed.
(Peridotite) Are you trying to fight me? Are you betraying me so soon? What a disgrace. I hate when you guys change so much from one moment to the next.
(Anatasa) I would prefer if you weren't here.
(Peridotite) Don't be so hard on me. I can grant it to you, temporarily. If White Diamond agrees, of course, I don't think I don't think about others.
>Still on the ground, the titanium oxide gem said to Peridotite with a cold tone, different from the weakness he showed from choking on his own metal. While the supposed Anatasa stood up, you could see how the metal replica rejoined behind her, creating the tip of her head at the base and continually raising each part of her body. Anatasa looked exhausted, with her mouth half open at times, as if she had lost her breath. It didn't get better as soon as Peridotite showed off her delicacy. In the end, at Anatasa's request, turning to see you, Peridotita accepted, once again convincing you. The Peridotite material was consumed by the iron at the base instantly, leaving nothing more than a last flash of its mineral before the collapse reaction of the rest of the uninfected place. Anatasa remained watching for several seconds, meters away from you.
(Anatasa) Sapphire, Leucozafiro…>He slid his arms around the ends of his torso, only to reach his face and cover it as he lowered his voice as he named you twice, with names he could only learn in the Crystalline Earth. Some drops of iron did not finish leaving Anatasa's body. You could see how they fell and slid out of his clothes. This was black without any particular aesthetic detail, just an intention similar to the clothing that Rosa or Rutilo would wear, typical of a command of the cortex from thousands and thousands of years ago. Before Anatasa removed her hands completely from her face, you could see how she wiped the edge of her nose with her right wrist. She smiled at you with enormous freedom.
(Anatasa) You had too soft an upbringing. (...) I was raised that way too. I loved my teacher too much, so I tried to reconnect with her. Tourmaline was not suitable for any type of release. He never suffered much, can you believe it? I negotiated terms with Peridotite, and in exchange for giving me her pieces, I transformed myself in this way.
>Not all gems that are captured are used to release gems in the Cauldron. There are gems whose impact on others increases the value of the rest, but which by themselves are not worth anything at all. An example is Anatasa's teacher, whose fixation on life never gave her a real hatred for anything, since living beings are recycled generation after generation. Anatasa spread her palms slightly, and as if the season had changed, the ground itself began to bloom. Small particles of mineral began to emerge on the surface of the metal, one after another, as if the TC lake was being covered with snow, but from the bottom up. The red and green mineral was too thin, too small, it was impossible to recompose. It looked like the result of a rupertine explosion. Anatasa's previously animated and even cheerful voice was suddenly replaced by a frustration that she barely concealed by lowering her head.
(Anatasa) I couldn't. I couldn't even try to rebuild it. I failed.
(Anatasa*) I failed.
(Anatasa) And finally I think something broke inside me... You don't know how much, you don't know how much... I hated myself. During all this time…
>The other, the metal figure spoke, or seemed to do so through the vibrations of the ground, echoing Anatasa's words for a moment. One by one the pieces of dust were directed in a single laminar flow towards the center, gathering an uncountable amount of mineral dust that Anatasa kept in the care of her double. Anatasa looked at her hands doubtfully, resisting the sight of you for several seconds. She looked too big to possess only 35% of his ore. Even you, who had lost less than 25%, had a general reduction in size, and compared to the 65%, theirs was abysmal. When Anatasa wailed you were able to briefly see her back, which was neither empty nor missing pieces. What happened you were able to discover as soon as she approached you, breaking the surface tension of the metal.
(Anatasa) But I have a solution. It's something only I can do...! The same way I turned those pieces into dust. You have to listen to me, Leucozafiro.
>It sounded like a glass bottle filled with water, as if its anatase mineral contained a very fluid liquid inside, to the point that when walking it collided with its internal walls making a clear sound. Regardless of whether his movement was fast or slow, Anatasa alone changing the position of his hands created the effect on a greater or lesser scale. When Anatasa reached you, she grabbed your shoulders, asked you to listen to her with an uneasy face and did not wait to grab one of your hands, the one that was far from your sword, and bring it closer to her own chest. The touch was weak, although the surface of its mineral was slightly harder, like that of an android, the thickness of its material made a sound that dispersed into planes. And when you felt beyond her mineral, as she wanted it, a constant bubbling that exploded and fed back creating an inherent heat of the pressure or temperature in the place.
(Anatasa) Trust me, okay? Come closer, can you feel it? You can feel it, right? It's boiling. That's how I am now, and for a long time. Ahaha, I was… I was afraid you might see me. What could you think of. But now it doesn't matter anymore. Leucosapphire->Her eyes looked tired, even as she laughed and moved closer to you, stopping forcing your touch. Before Anatasa hugged you you could see a couple of lines of black liquid emerging from both her head and shoulder. And behind her, behind her head, an emission of steam that turned red in the grayish environment. Anatasa rested her head on his right shoulder as she hugged you desperately. You could feel both the weight of his words in his touch and his concern removing the polish behind your back with short scratches. While stating that she had a different way of solving things, she also strongly declared her love. In this way, accompanying his attempt at convincing, your mineral began to feel fragile and less dense, specifically in the areas where Anatasa came into contact with you.
(Anatasa) Stay with me. I found a way. You don't have to fight... I'll finish it, I'll finish it all...! You can be happy with Taaffeíta. Taaff... her, I, I still love her, I still love you... So, please...

It has space to store many things... Hm.
>He had to put aside the tablet he was using to distract himself from Gardan's speech so he could grab the blunt sword. He didn't like holding one, even though he wasn't sure what kind of weapon it was or who he was supposed to use it against.
>Either Peridotite cared little about a promise she had probably forgotten or she did it on purpose, either way she would continue carrying the dull sword and hope she didn't have to use it, or that she wouldn't be destroyed too badly when she refused to use it.
And you want me to break it?
>He quickly changed his mind upon seeing the metallic gem victim of 300-year-long experiments, grabbed the piece of Emeth tightly and prepared to break it "by accident" before Peridotite could say no.
>But she spoke faster than she could act, and while she continued to assimilate what had been revealed to her, she saw Peridotite's project move, increasing the doubts that were holding her back from doing something.
What is useful for me is not useful for the cortex and for you...? Or are you going to give it to me as a gift just so I can play with it?
>It was difficult for a corundum to play with something without breaking it. He stopped himself from saying that, at that point he suspected that he wouldn't have been able to do anything to her even if he tried with all his might.
Anatasa...?
>He loosened his grip on his sword. Even if he had the most powerful weapon in the Crystalline Earth and the Crust and all the strength to wield it, it would still be useless to save anyone. It would not be useful against the metallic project or behind Peridotite's back.
If Anatasa wants to be alone with me, I accept.
>He lost the harshness in his voice, ignoring the bark leader to focus only on seeing Anatasa helped with that.
Anatasa... How well are you?
>That he was able to carry on a conversation made things better, I wouldn't know how much until I had more details, but it was far from the worst thing imaginable.
Hehe... I also had the best teacher possible. I couldn't tell her that I loved her, but I wouldn't try to fix her now just to bring her back here. Maybe in many years, if things change but not too much, and its pieces resist all that time.
>He continued to carefully probe Anatasa's condition, carefully observing her mood swings and reactions to learn what he could.
Even if they don't resist, I will continue to believe that I will find another way to rebuild it if I am patient, or I will find another reason to be okay or to continue.
>A single failure or several, no matter how great, would not defeat her forever. There were many things he couldn't do before and there are things he can never be even if he lives for more millennia, but if he just keeps living and searching and doesn't completely close himself off to the possibility, he might find other reasons to live.
It makes me happier to hear you than just to see you.
>She couldn't deny that seeing her in the form she was now didn't immediately make her happy, as she assumed the worst. What he heard now was not completely positive either and it once again activated his nature as a combat gem of wanting to protect and help others who need it.>Although she also feared what Anatasa might have seen of her while observing from this level of the crust and what he would think, she thought that this meeting was for Anatasa's sake more than hers.
We all change over time. You still sound like my big sister to me. I exchanged many words with Rutilo and you are nothing like her, you were always prettier.
>It had been too long for that to matter but I would say it anyway.
I want to continue living for thousands of years. Do you want to do that too? Aren't you the one who wants to be happy with Taaffeita? If you say yes, I will help you do it, I am here to listen to you.
>I couldn't instantly trust that Anatasa or anyone else had a way to solve all of the Gems' and humans' problems, or that there was a quick, reliable, and harmless way to do it. Nor could I assume that they were both thinking about the same thing when they talked about solutions. More important than that was still Anatasa's status, so he focused on her.
I wouldn't feel good waiting for someone else to fight to save me, if you tell me how you're going to do it I'd want to support you instead.

>>10221
>Controlling a constant flow of salvation in the Cauldron does not imply that you know all the time which gem is or is not headed to be used to be converted into eternal human relief. Apparently, a long time ago, to help deal with the burden of transforming so many gems, Peridotite established that semi-anonymity in the election specifically for Pink Diamond. You decided long ago which gems would not be used, but knowing the status of each of the others was impossible. In front of you, you can see how Anatasa rests her fist on one of her hips, while her expression hardens. She closes her eyes and responds with a roughness that you were incredibly used to.
(Anatasa) You are much stronger than me. You can barely call me your big sister. You never learned anything from me that was useful to you. (...) Still, that's... It's a relief.
>She didn't celebrate any of your plans around Rubí, nor did she show anything but distance from your opinion about listening to her. Anyway, Anatasa leaned her head forward. You could still feel his insides reacting and bubbling continuously, but, at your touch his grip became less desperate. As she smoothed the small of your back, you could see how the metallic replica lost shape between vibrations and mechanical waves transmitted from the ground.
(Anatasa) Thank you… I didn't mean to scare you. We will talk... We will talk a lot, okay?
>His voice seemed to be about to break. The amount of material it has and its physical characteristics only indicate that it is hollow, so it is common that it cannot sustain its voice too much due to its low density. Although her shine was slightly golden, it was strange to see the same random traces in her hair. Its hardness is 6, as is the small patch of pyroclast that you have at the height of your right cheek. It seems that you can stop worrying when you touch his head. That way, when the contact ended. Anatasa took a few steps away, holding her clothes across her chest with one of her hands.
(Anatasa) Rutilo didn't know how to fight, nor how to treat others. I know I don't look like her. She was moved only by hatred towards Fluorite, and Peridotite too, she only hates Fluorite. But, for both you and me it is different, right? Because Fluorite... Axinite is my companion... I can only think about saving her. It's not right to want someone to disappear, by their own hand. Something like that will never work.
>In a few sentences she defined her point of view regarding what matters most to Peridotite and its objective, the destiny of Fluorite and how its self-destruction is the solution to human eternity. Unlike Carnelian with ambivalent proposals about confronting Fluorite or continuing to use gems, Anatasa rejects the former outright. Still, she doesn't fully reveal what she claims to be the solution to the Cortex's problems. The entire time she remained uneasy, so that when she looked up to try to answer you, she simply stopped her duties in her tracks, remaining almost stunned in the same place.
(Anatasa) I…>For several seconds, his head slowly lowered just a few centimeters, while his gaze was directed towards you, not looking at you at all. That was Anatasa's state, but both her insides and her replica showed something other than just standing still. The metallic shape crumbled to the ground, creating a pool of liquid iron that spread a few dozen more meters in radius. His interior, filled with gas, seemed to be on the limit of reaction, creating repeated sound bombs that broke and echoed silently on the surface of his body from his head to his shoulders. It is because of this high activity that the liquid inside began to leak, finding an outlet in his nose. She covered the outlet of the black drops with her two hands.
(Anatasa) I want him... I want to be by his side for a long, long time... How could I refuse...? I want to touch her hands again, caress her hair or just see her smile... (...) But... Before something like that, I need her to be safe... Do you understand...? Leucosapphire…? If there is no way I can fulfill my dream, then… I can only hand it over to you…
>She blinked hard as she wiped the leak from her face with her hands. She broke up the black liquid with her fingers, turning it into a red gas that fell to the ground as a result of the pressure. Anatasa's eyes range from dark black to reddish brown, without going through the golden yellow she used to have. It is a tone that combines both the bromine inside and its previous color. She took a few seconds to cover her eyes with one of her forearms. Its interior had stopped bubbling so no more drops were spilling out from anywhere. What Anatasa told you then only revealed how dangerous her plan was for herself. That way, when Anatasa was more stable, after explaining herself, she contrasted your goals.
(Anatasa) I'm sure many others would be happy that you, too, are able to see hundreds of sunrises, without having to worry about any enemies or any necessary “sacrifice.” Just being here... It's something you hate, right? Therefore, listen to me.
>That Dumortierita is so happy to be able to save humans does not make it look like a kidnapping or any sacrifice. However, the flow of the Caldera will soon become too irregular and several will have to be kidnapped. In that sense, Peridotita's actions are logical, contacting Anatasa would be most beneficial. But, Anatasa, on the other hand, seems to question you, both you and Peridotita and her home. A small ripple spread across the ground, creating a tiny wave on the surface of the metal that completely sank the Tourmaline material. Anatasa then confided in you her ideas, or at least, their consequences.
(Anatasa) I plan to eliminate all forms of control and all types of relationships between inclusions. Handling of silica or alloys, release of humans. The evolution and generation of gems, Tara's control over waters or Peridotite's control over rocks, for example, also depend on the interaction between inclusions. Pyroclasts, transport from the Crust to the Surface and vice versa, will all disappear. And also… The repair of the gems themselves. Without inclusions creating any kind of bond with each other, it will be impossible to restore inactive gems.
>Even androids function based on the same inclusions, containing thousands of human beings with which they operate their decomposition and recomposition. Unlike a Carnelian who sought to eliminate Fluorite, Anatasa likely wanted to control some of Fluorite's powers to achieve something much less drastic than destroying them all. It was clearly a less powerful synthesis of what Rutilo's plan was, even slightly more complicated. But virtually possible, due to the very alteration of the inclusions 600 years ago. Anatasa raises one of her hands in the middle of her body, finally stopping showing distress.
(Anatasa) Humans will degrade in a few hundred years unable to generate steam and revive. No other gem will be born again. And gems that are still active can live for hundreds of thousands of years until they are completely eroded. But no one, not Tourmaline or the gems it can destroy, none will return. That is, you will have to repair Rubí before she can persuade Axinita.>When the small vibrations in Anatasa's metal leave her, no sound emerges. But the opposite happens when the outside sends disturbances towards its center. A clear sound of inclusions interacting with each other, finding their place in structures and modifying the functioning of matter is present. It is very likely that both Peridotite, Tara and Anatasa herself, now in this form, will cease to exist if said disconnection is achieved. After all, Anatasa is only 35% of herself. It is when you notice the context in Anatasa's words, that she comes forward, both in her position and in words, and clarifies.
(Anatasa) Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to merge with Fluorite... To put an end to the manipulation of silica, I will commit several and diverse atrocities on the island.
>His gaze contained the same pressure as his words. Anatasa compressed her eyes, while her mouth remained half open almost all the time. Likewise, his head remained rigid and sometimes even trembled due to said rigidity. There was no metallic reaction, nor any leakage of bromine, so what Anatasa was saying was entirely an original thought. She closed her eyes tightly for a couple of seconds, and after releasing said weight, Anatasa continued saying while looking directly at you.
(Anatasa) I will eliminate many gems - I will make some unable to see, speak or move, and finally, I will revive several hundred times just like Fluorite does. And if necessary, even taking over another body... I can do it, thanks to Peridotite's abilities. I can do it... That's why... I need you to kill me here. Let me- die here.
>She stopped swallowing bromine unconsciously. You observed it in the Carnelian weapons testing by the human New. If the edge of the end of a gem is not immediately cut and remains destroyed with the typical fragmentation of a Rupertine weapon, the inclusions there make it impossible to reattach pieces to that place. Peridotita hates it, as it is an unproductive practice due to the dust that can barely free a single human. Anatasa however, seems to want to implement it as a way to stimulate Fluorite. She little by little increases the intensity of her words, her pauses also increase. He sent one of his hands towards your face. Knowing that you would remain still, gently, placing his hand on your left cheek. Anatasa's small guilt-filled smile immediately faded as she began to contemplate your help more and more.
(Anatasa) Until everything is solved, and even long after that... I want you to keep it a secret, so that Taaffeíta keeps the memories of who she was before. OK? Just that way... Just completely changing... Me and my appearance... Leucosapphire. (...) Withdrawing that 15% was not enough!
>He lifted some of your hair out and touched the bottom edge of your ear with his fingers. Anatasa was only able to do that by sending out a layer of reddish gas that muffled each of his warm touches. Anatasa's eyebrows lowered completely, as she asked you. It was almost like a surrender, Anatasa's tranquility was going to end suddenly sooner or later. This is what happened when he completely lowered his head looking at the ground as he exclaimed. The metallic form then re-emerged. Anatasa shook her head releasing her frustration.
(Anatasa) You don't have to fool yourself
>She raised the touch of her left hand. Then, in an instant, your head felt lighter on that same side. A lot of dust descended to the metal floor, the product of perfectly crushed pyroclastic. On that side of your face, the material had divided, breaking crystalline structures due to the movement of your inclusions. Only when Anatasa withdrew her palm did you feel the squeak of thousands of inclusions resenting the sudden detachment. Not only pyroclastic pieces attached to you long ago, but also part of your corundum itself was destroyed, creating both an opening and a partial failure in your hearing. Anatasa pressed her teeth together, as if expecting a severe reaction.

I did not develop the habit of learning from my sisters or retaining what I learned...
>She had had more than two older sisters who were insecure or unexemplary in some way, in addition to little ability to learn certain things that she would not like to admit out loud at the risk of also sounding insecure or revealing her secrets.
>Similar reasons he had for not alerting Anatasa of the damage he seemed to do by touching her, in the end all that became easier to hide if he just waited a little.
Axinite was good. I liked it when it was just Axinite.
>Fluorite assimilations were still a complex topic even if I spent a thousand years thinking about it. Its complexity was more emotional than logical. He could understand why and how it happened, but not how he felt about it.
>She was sure she didn't hate Fluorite, just like she didn't hate Peridotite, Rutile, or humans, but she didn't feel much compassion for the old leader of the crystalline land even if she liked one of the gems she used to be.
>What I would understand by saving Axinite would be to separate her from Fluorite in some way, even if that would harm the second one.
You probably know how to fight more than I still do. It's been a long time since I touched a sword, I must have caught the attitude of the bark gems.
>He tried to inject some levity into the conversation with that comment, but from his tone it sounded like he was regretting a mistake of his. The strange reactions of Anatasa's bodies for wanting and not allowing herself to be with someone did not comfort her either.
I can understand it...
>Maybe it wasn't exactly the same, but he had felt that no matter how much he loved it, he couldn't have been happy doing those same things with Circita while still worrying about the well-being of the academy and his sisters.
>Anatasa's gaze was already lowered so she had no need to lower hers as well or control what her own face showed as she did.
>If he thought about the decision he made again, he asked himself again if he had done the right thing and how long it would take to continue like this.
If you are sure that you cannot be happy with her and save her at the same time and even knowing that you decide to do this... You must also be prepared to regret it later.
>He didn't find a gentler way to advise him without directly opposing his decision. Their situations seemed very different to begin with. Anatasa probably wouldn't have as much time to think about that decision or how things would have changed if she made a different one.
I don't like being here. I would like to finish what needs to be done and live those millennia somewhere else, but being impatient only makes things worse.
>Rosa and Rutilo were not weak for not being able to endure more years of the slow salvation plan, but no one could say that they ended well or lived happily. Although she doesn't yet know a better way to end the war between crust and surface, she knows that she won't succeed if she follows in the last footsteps of her predecessors.
>If she had enough hope, she could imagine that during that eternity new plans would emerge to save the Gems, like the one Anatasa had designed, although she was not completely happy with it.
>The result she wanted was a world free of conflict between gems and pyroclasts, in which her sisters could live as long as they wanted and new gems could be born and be happy too without further suffering on both sides. But he honestly didn't care enough about the future to regret not allowing it to young gems he would never meet, and if the atrocities Anatasa was prepared to commit, even the ones that reminded him of his older sister, were for the sake of everyone's salvation, then it qualified as necessary suffering.
>This solution was one step ahead of what Rutilo wanted and another step behind what she wanted, it was barely acceptable.
Maybe you are giving me more dreams and responsibilities than you think and making me promise things that will not be possible to fulfill. But I think you still carry a bigger weight doing this than I do helping you.>He smiled slightly, raising his head and the blunt sword that Gardan Siti had given him. The sudden partial loss of his face and hearing disturbed his balance and his ability to do what Anatasa asked for a second, so the blow he gave to his sister's arm with the weapon was less precise and forceful than he intended.
If you want me to be honest, I don't love this plan and neither do you.
>He responded to Anatasa's last comment with a bigger smile, rubbing the part of his face where the percentage of ash he wanted to caress was no longer there.
I've already committed enough atrocities that many won't want to see me live thousands of years and I may not be able to say anything to TaaffTaaff. I also have no strong desire to return to the academy or make amends for my teacher.
>Any blow he gave with the sword would be aimed at unimportant points on Anatasa, such as the arms in which he did not hold a weapon and would probably not need to break it, revealing the little intention he had of killing her quickly.
Rubz would be heartbroken if he saw me now, I don't want that. And if you care so much that Taaff doesn't know this, I imagine you also think he would hate this plan, or hate you.
>Holding a gun again was a temptation, it felt so good to be armed and moving again that it would be hard not to smile. For several years the most physical activity she did was the dances and stretches she repeated daily to stay agile and be able to fulfill her teacher's promise to become better at dodging so as not to lose even more parts of herself.
If she was here telling you not to do it, would you listen to her? How about I promise to tell him everything you plan to do after you do it? If it is still possible for you to repent, I want to make you recant.
>All that dodging training will be of no use to her as long as Anatasa remains still without threatening her, but she still maintains a light step and a certain distance from her sister, practically dancing meters in front of her to encourage her to attack.
It feels good to fight again. If you want me to break you at least we can enjoy it, like a workout. You remember how to fight, right?
>If he treated him as such it was not difficult at all to raise a weapon against his sister, even one in the state of Anatasa.
Despite everything, I am still a combat gem. I still love my sisters. I don't like to see other gems suffer and I wouldn't agree to stay in a safe place while my sister risks herself for me, I would rather be by your side and fight alongside you. I don't know TaaffTaaff as well as you, but if she's a combat gem like us, I know she wouldn't be happy with this.
>He put the sword aside and extended his free hand, inviting Anatasa to take it if she changed her mind.
I want you to help me and for us to fight together to save our sisters, like before... I want you to help me continue committing atrocities, to kidnap more gems and make them suffer to save humans for hundreds of years.
>Her voice, hand, and expression fell a little as she became more honest with what she asked of Anatasa. When his smile returned, it did so less forcefully.
It will be hard, just like your plan, but with your help it will be faster and more bearable. And I trust that when we finish, we will achieve something better for you and for all of us. But the only thing I can promise is that I will be on your side and I will continue to love you as long as you don't hate me.

(Anatasa) Do you want to continue with this for all eternity?
>She asked looking into your eyes. Anatasa's voice stopped wavering, completely losing its tremor only to question directly. Unlike the Subcortex or the Metacortex that maintains a range of human annihilation to generate light based on its vapors, in this underground level there is nothing like a group of humans always ready to be evaporated. The absence of pink vapor in the air can weaken you, just as much as natural daylight could strengthen you. Although her body has completely changed, it is a fact that Anatasa still needs light, and you can find it. These are crystals placed on the edges of the structures that remain partially firm. Anatasa drops her neck for a moment, at the same time that the surrounding light itself weakens. She insists.(Anatasa) Is it so important to you to stay alive? What awaits you in thousands of years, Leucosapphire...? I know it's been a long time... I know it's been too long! I've been stranded here for more years than I spent with you or Taaffeita up there. But anyway, I don't want her to have a meaningless life. Will you make it fight with pyroclasts until it completely deteriorates? And what about your sister? Dioptase will live in fear for thousands of years because of you.
>He presses the air with his hands. You can see small disturbances in the space after she exclaimed, as if she had actually made contact with said elements. Indeed, unlike on the surface, communication between gems in the crust is so delayed and ephemeral, so much so that it pales in comparison to the eternal companionship up there. And in fact, it is designed that way, all to mitigate the effects of raping gems and optimize the collection of them, their inclusions. Towards the end of the scheme, all the gems in the Crystalline Earth sooner or later end up captured, and those that are not, fall into unstable psychological states that fortify the value of the rest. As long as you keep your eyes off the island, gems like Dioptase could live and die affecting others, or live and degrade to compromise them in different ways. Anatasa would continue to question you, indirectly rejecting you until her words intensified. She claimed, as if pointing to a pyroclast in your place.
(Anatasa) I can't just accept that you continue this way. You used to be much stronger than me, happier, full of life. Why do you choose to condemn yourself and everyone around you? Does it give you peace of mind to be out of the threat of anyone seeing how others sacrifice themselves? You are a coward...! Liar, you make me nauseous! It's because of gems like you that this torture continues! Just like Fluorite… You have decided to wait for no solution. You can't love or hate deeply, you completely lost that ability.
>Small, thin strands of hair fell from the back of Anatasa's head as she yelled at you. They were followed by an emission of red vapor that condensed into a dark reddish fluid and was lost in the fluffy part of his clothing. For a moment you watched as Anatasa lowered her head, searching with her eyes for any weapon. Confused by that fact, with an advance on your part, her anger forcibly dissipated. She hugged herself, grabbing the edges of his neck in an x-shape as she backed away. Inadvertently, she compared you to Fluorite. Not the Fluorite that the gems timidly followed, but the Fluorite that humans and the gems of the Cortex have portrayed with hatred and disgust. Anatasa was always very tough, but as soon as you tested her toughness, she proved to be in a brittle state due to what is now just a thin layer of her original material. Anatasa covered the holes in its structure with her hands, so the ground beneath her also created equal iron hands to seal carelessly. Anatasa's reaction was remarkably human, in pain, she fell to her knees.
(Anatasa) How much longer do I have to endure this-? A-stay away, Leucosapphire.
(Anatasa*) …>He shrank, sinking into the iron floor, for you, however, he was perfectly stable. Your sword, made from incredibly hard pieces of androids, is cracked. Although you did not receive any direct attack from Anatasa, superficial pieces similar to thin sheets fell from your weapon. They revealed a fleshy, white interior that tried to blend into the internal red of the androids. What seemed to be a complaint from Anatasa turned into a warning as soon as you saw the metallic shape that was created from the ground and moved forward with the speed of a landslide. In an instant, an incredibly large flow of metal covered you completely. It completely stripped you of light. Inside, small particles of you and your sword came off, creating a veil of fine ash that disappeared. It would probably end up giving your skin a grainy look if you stayed there for several minutes. Cutting the iron was simple, but its ability to regenerate, or appear to regenerate due to the enormous flow, was superior. Not more than a minute had passed until the metal's control was undone and the walls returned to being the same floor. Anatasa stood, patched in patches of reddish-black mineral. Repaired, she uttered with inflexibility and disgust.
(Anatasa) I know what he will say. And that doesn't matter, it is a fact that Taaffeíta and Axinita will forget me with the passage of time, it is inevitable. If it's as you say, I'm sorry you can't handle a much lighter load.
>When you realized, one of his hands was touching your belly. The palm was made of mineral and thermal coverage, it was not an iron construction. Although Anatasa was standing more than a meter away from you. When you were able to observe properly, you could notice how he hid the edge of his sleeves between iron spikes. His empty arms were gone, replaced by a mass of iron that dripped and attracted attention. The real ones were with you, and just as you saw their spray ability working, it was much more effective with scattered material such as that of a pyroclast. Even if you broke the one in front of you, the second end was hidden to ensure contact. Thus, even if it destroys you through your weakest and most flexible area, you would not be able to continue active with only half your body for too many seconds.
(Anatasa) …
>Anatasa turned, pouring iron around her. The metal wall that surrounded you gained shine and lost hardness, liquidizing. Anatasa's hand fell in front of you and sank into this same mud, and above your head, you felt how the second one also briefly touched your hair and then fell and sank. Everything was absorbed by the iron, and Anatasa slowly absorbed that same iron. Still on her back, she bent down to rearrange her arms, one by one. You couldn't see her face, but from her voice, Anatasa sounded upset. The original floor appeared beneath you, sporting a cracked and deteriorating pyroclastic material that the androids poured in to build immediately. Anatasa confessed.
(Anatasa) It's absurd...! There are gems I can't sacrifice. You are one of them and for a moment, my first reaction was to completely remove your hands and face. It's absurd, right?! To think that I can force and limit someone like that. What's wrong with me...?
>You still don't fully recover your sense of hearing on one side of your head, but listening to Anatasa isn't difficult. Normally, Peridotite chooses to keep complete gems active or completely destroyed. Even on Crystalline Earth, the missing parts of a gem are always filled with another mineral. That's why what Anatasa proposes feels twisted. It is a fact that with enough material and light, gems can remain active even if they cannot recover information from their environment. When Anatasa exclaims for the second time, she raises her hands to her head. For the first time, you can get a glimpse of Anatasa perfectly joined together. With both iron and bromine inside, although it does not show the best condition because it is complete, in fact it has even worsened. Concentrating all her abilities within herself, while speaking of self-sacrifice, seems instinctively dangerous.(Anatasa) I thought I had enough courage to destroy myself, one who does not possess Fluorite. (...) But not. I don't want to become a despicable gem that takes advantage of others and their suffering. I don't want to receive hate from you or anyone. If only I had stuck to my desires from the beginning, I would be a silly gem who still believed in magic and fairy tales. How useful is a gem like that to you…? Can I just hold your hand and forget about all this? Not anymore… There is no way things can go back to the way they were before.
>All the metal gathers and compresses, taking on a shiny black color that slowly recovers the pieces of Anatasa around it. From time to time you can see Anatasa's second face emerge behind or in front of her. When he has finished, Anatasa lets go of his heavy limbs unable to lift them for any length of time. She slides a hand over his chest and opens up. Her steps were loaded with enough mass to sink her into the ground as she lifted one foot over the other. Due to the bromine that escapes almost invisibly from your body, the entire environment is perceived in a distorted red. Anatasa says the latter by directly observing her body, its composition and effects. But anyway she comes closer.
(Anatasa) I don't want to be alone. I don't want to die alone. Here…
(...)
>It didn't seem to be healthy for Anatasa to monopolize all of her elemental extensions. Although it wasn't optimal for it to be hollow either. For now, it was best to contain the bromine inside her in half with the metal. The iron could spread like a blob, but it could also go deep into the soil like a giant inverted grass fiber. This caused Anatasa's center of gravity to drop a lot, so her torso and head normally trembled a bit. Fortunately, the Peridotite moment is not a moment of months or years, but only of hours. There was an android waiting at the edge of the level ready to notify the Cortex Leader, but she could already realize what had happened only by feeling Anatasa's now thin influence on the ground. Anatasa holds your hand, guilt on her face. She has been extremely silent since she took the step. Peridotita and her way of presenting the information in a way that makes her the only one enjoying the conversation doesn't help their meeting either. Anatasa's position towards Peridotite used to be confrontational, but now it is only avoidant. She only reacts by pressing briefly until Peridotite leaves her alone.
(Peridotite) I knew I forgot! That's what happens when I'm forced to do something, I'm put under pressure. Leucozafiro, I was willing to give you a catalog with all the broken gems that lie here. Hm, but it looks like you already rescued one of them, I'm not really surprised. Regarding you, Anatasa, I assume that you will collaborate with us for a while, so I will advance my promise and eliminate that much abused aspect of yours. I'll use silver, it will mitigate everything. Of course, the opportunity it would give you to return to the surface is completely suspended. Now, what are you waiting for! Rejoice, jump! Don't you love me now?
(Anatasa) …
(Peridotite) You defined the shape of your heart 100 years ago, don't be surly. Leucosapphire, it is your duty to train her.

>>10225
Nothing is immutable, things change... I prefer that to everything always being the same.
>Anatasa's tone caught her off guard at first, but she tried to maintain composure and optimism.
Not knowing what will happen tomorrow is more exciting, although it can also worry me. But if I'm not even alive for it, I'll never know. I want others to live because I want to live too.
>She hesitated, starting to feel that this optimism was a kind of defense against Anatasa's real worries, and simply opposing what she said instead of acknowledging it wasn't doing either of them any good.
I loved once and decided I wouldn't do it again, so I closed myself off to the possibility. I came close to hating Fluorite for being the reason they were attacked and never doing anything to end it or even tell us, but I also think I started to resemble her.
>More than once she found a way to quickly end the conflict between gems and pyroclasts but decided not to and continued to wait, believing that the gems deserved a chance to keep living until each one individually decided they wanted to stop.
>If I were in Fluorite's position as I am now, I would also choose to hide certain things from most gems.
So now I hate myself. I couldn't hate someone else for hating me, treating me badly, or trying to kill me; sometimes I think I deserve it.
>She stopped moving energetically and leaned her sword against the floor, watching pieces of it break off after the blow that Anatasa still didn't respond to.
If I'm not happy where I am, I assume it's because of my own decisions. I blame myself when things don't go well, but I still doubt it's all my fault. The last thing Dioptase told me was that she no longer needed me to take care of her. And Taaffeite is intelligent, she'll know how to make her own decisions if she has the option to.
>She gripped the weapon tightly, remembering past feelings she thought she had gotten rid of. She took advantage of that moment of strength to counterattack Anatasa's iron and limbs, uselessly. All she managed to do was exhaust the little energy she was receiving in that dark place and realize how clumsy her movements were.
>When Anatasa herself stopped the attack, she didn't react to her words, just remained where the iron had trapped her, waiting for her hearing to return.
If I had never found out about everything Fluorite was hiding, I would still be trying to be the best by swinging a sword, making my sisters happy, or traveling to a distant part of the world, but I decided to do this...
>Life was simple then, it was easy to be happy when I was ignorant and neither of us could ever go back to that. All she got for trying to go back was to lose more of her material.
Things can't go back to the way they were, but they can be good again, or better... I have to stay alive to find out, the alternative would be to give up, then everything would be over.
>She accepted Anatasa's hand and led her out of that dark place with a smile, unable to believe that everything had worked out that way after the initial resistance she showed. But after the confusion, she felt something warm inside.
I want to be with you, I don't want to die soon. Hm~ hmm~ hm~ hm~ hmhm~ hmhmhmhm hmmm~
>They made the rest of the journey almost in silence, as after a few steps she felt an urge to hum something. She had never been so comfortable in direct contact with another gem, even though both of them were somewhat broken.
If Ana can't jump for joy, I'll do it for her. I'm happy to be with my sister again!
>She did as she told Peridotite and took a couple of leaps, holding Anatasa by both hands to see her face while smiling at her.
I wanted to tell you something else, Gardan. You might not remember it because it was a short conversation a few hundred years ago, but before I went down to the crust, I told you I didn't want to see you experimenting on any of my sisters.
>She turned to face the leader of the crust with a furious look. There was no way she could intimidate Peridotite, she just wanted to convey the seriousness with which she was speaking.
Maybe Anatasa is fine now, but I don't want to be a part of this anymore. If you can't stop experimenting on gems I knew just because I ask you to, then don't include me, otherwise I can't guarantee I'll remain cooperative.
>She stopped turning to look at Anatasa's expression. Immediately after making a decision, she wondered if it had been the right one, but it wasn't always possible to know the answer right away.
>She had already done too much following Peridotite's orders and now they had Anatasa on their side, or so she presumed. She didn't want to do it again, just as she hadn't wanted to do it the first time. If she even opened herself to the possibility of being convinced to try it, she would develop an even worse opinion of herself and those around her.
I forgot to pick up the weapon you gave me, but if you don't need it, I can keep it. I remembered how fun it was to play with swords.
