hello?

*you are... in a Temple Location? far above, the sight of other Gems in Bubbles can be seen. there is an incinerator lava pit in the center of the room, and two figures stand before you. a Gem with Square hair, shades, and crossed arms, and some sort of... a Boy? with a Gem on them?*

{Steven} "WOOOH! Garnet! Garnet! It WOOOORKS! IT REALLY... really. works..." *he seems to look incredibly tired. he must have done something exhausting. he sinks to the floor, and falls asleep*
*the Gem identified as Garnet picks the Boy up, carefully holding him at her side with one arm*
*two Gems can be identified on her Palms as she does this*
*looking at you, she talks calmly, a smile on her face*
{Garnet} "Hello. I am Garnet. could you tell me what the last things you can remember are. Its important."
*she has a no-nonsense tone*

She rubs her head, pushing aside some sea blue curls "I... am Verdite... " she looks up, shocked, "where am I?!? Where's the Kindergarten?!?"

{Garnet} "Not now. We are in the Temple. lets walk. Things should make more sense when we're outside. And Steven, needs a nap. He's earned it." *She turns to go, not even looking to see if you are following along while she leads the way towards the Temple door*

She follows, completely perplexed. She jogs quickly, walking alongside the larger gem. "Who... Who are you? Where are we? What is all of this...?" She spits question after question

*raising her Left hand as a 'stop', her right one securely holding the Boy, she says,*
{Garnet}"Again. I am Garnet. and this is the Temple. All of This,"
*holding her left hand up to the door to open the way out, looking into a Warp-Pad area that leads right into a mostly wooden room, decorated with various things, such as a couch, a table, a kitchen off to the side, a Painting above the door of someone you may or may not recognize, and stairs up to a bed, toys, and a tv, she steps through to let you outside*
{Garnet} "is the Earth."

she steps out into the house, looking around curiously. "Do h-humans live here?" She says, fascinated with them. "I haven't seen a human since..." She really can't remember anything but the Kindergaten. She vaguely recalls interacting with the soft, breathing life forms, but only faintly.

{Garnet} *continues walking till she sets the Boy on the couch, taking a seat beside him*
"No. Here, its just Steven and the Crystal Gems. The Humans live elsewhere. which brings me to..."
*adjusting her shades, she lists off some information*
"Humans are fragile and soft. they should not be pushed off of roofs. Humans prefer it if shirts are worn. Humans lack a general knowledge of most magic. Shapeshifting around them might seem funny, but it can make some humans uncomfortable. Most Humans do not deal well with the idea of violence. summoning a weapon if there are no monsters around should be done casually, and your intent should be clear. And thats the rundown on Humans. Peridot wanted me to use a list of important human facts to give any Gem Steven might have Healed so that they could avoid making any mistakes."

"There is a Peridot here?" She says, already knowing how to treat humans, but she acknowledged the rules anyway. She walks closer to the two, eager for an answer

{Garnet} "She's not here at the Temple right this moment. She's at the Barn, helping work on something else... hmm..."
*she spends a brief moment thinking, before going to pick up a Phone*
"I should probably tell the others that it worked." *she dials up a number, and waits for the other end to be picked up*

'Why would you use that primitive Earth communicator... It probably doesn't even work right' she thinks. Her eyes wander to the boy, curiously

*He's breathing well, his chest rising and sinking. his shirt is up enough that the Gem on his stomach can be seen, akin to the Gem depicted in the Picture above the door*

{Garnet} "Garnet. It worked. yes. calm down. Verdite. yes. no. Steven is sleeping. Yes. alright." *she hangs up* "the others should be here in a bit."

"the others?" She questions.
"Who're they... And why am I here anyway... I've served my purpose in the Kindergarten, and I've repeatedly said that I will not further damage this planet.... Are...you going to crack me?" She says, tensing. "Did Blue Diamond send you? I know I should have reported to homeworld but.." She trails off to herself, shaking the thought.

{Garnet} "Calm down. The war is over. The other Crystal Gems are Pearl, Amethyst, Peridot, and Lapis lazuli. you are here because Steven was able to Heal you. and you never need to worry about the Kindergarten again. most likely."

"W-What?" She says, dumbfounded. After a few seconds of nothing, she regains her composure. "I understand the amethysts, as I have personally administered many, but a lapis? And a pearl?"

{Garnet} "yes, and Lapis Lazuli has a distaste for people she does not know. So you should be sure to make a good first impression for everyone."

*the Warp Pad lights up, the Lapis, the Peridot, the Amethyst, and a Pearl arriving*

{Amethyst}"Aww, YE-AA! SteVen! you DID IT you little goober! So, whats up? hows life treating you now that your no longer a mole or something?"

{Pearl}"Amethyst, Garnet said he was sleeping. you'll wake him if you shout."

{Lapis}*is remaining quiet, but is most certainly looking you over, and sizing you up. a Strong will resting behind her gaze*

{Peridot}"I'm going to have to side with Amethyst on this one Pearl. while Steven's Fleshy Hybrid body did pick up the less desirable trait of requiring rest as opposed to not, Humans, including Steven have been shown to be able to be woken up with surprising amounts of ease. and I think Steven would not want to miss out on a moment like this one. the First Corrupt Gem to be healed"

She smiles as best she can, too confused to really do anything senifigant. She hears them talk ABOUT her, but hasn't been addressed. Though she sees lapis gaze at her, and a more sincere smile spreads over the gems face.

{Amethyst} "well? whats up? monster got your tongue?" *the Amethyst is talking to you. its just a bit hard to tell with the... inflection, in her voice*

{Pearl} *sighs some, looking like she's had to deal with this all day*

{Peridot} "It'll only take me a moment to-"

{Garnet} *interrupting,* "Let Steven Rest. Healing Verdite took a lot out of him, and he needs to get his strength back."

{Lapis} *doesn't smile back, but she does stop looking you down, instead looking over to the couch where the boy, 'Steven' is* "So Steven is Fine?"

{Garnet} "Yes."

"Uhm.. Heyyy" she says, now the focus of attention. She does a little wave, "my name is Verdite, and... " she rushes the last part: "I thought I was dead five minutes ago but I'm not and now you're all here and I really don't know what's happening"

{Amethyst} "Well, ain't that a mouthful to say in one breath"

{Pearl} "Pipe down Amethyst. we need to take things slow, and go though a simple set of introductions and explanations. I'll start." *takes a bit of a 'breath', recollecting thoughts* "Hello Verdite. I'm Pearl. We understand that things might be confusing, and we hope to be able to explain it as easily as possible."

{Peridot} *copying the Pearl's lead,* "Hello Verdite. I'm Peridot. things might be a little confusing for everyone involved, so I think it would help if you answered some questions." *taking out a device of some sort, possibly a recorder,* "you felt like you were Dead?"

{Lapis} *is brief* "I'm Lapis. and welcome to Earth I guess."

{Garnet} *nods* *things could go slow. your questions would be answered, and no one was planning on hurting anyone*
