[@21308] Rut simply rolls her eyes in response. [s]Somewhere, out in the distance, OE is having one of her rare emotional moments where she's seething with jealousy over not being born in this alternate universe, where Chromite had to deal with Rut instead of her. It fades quickly though. [/s] Don't worry, Eve will be interacting with her, and if she does tag along, possibly the other gems as well. [hider=Random thing] I can say right now that Quin and Ido and pretty much the only ones here who aren't really neutral. Quin has a bone to pick with both ends (probably because the two gems that create her and an x-Crystal gem and an X-Homeworld gem) so it's not so much that she's neutral but holds equal contempt towards both sides, while Ido is the opposite as she felt too deeply for both sides to be able to actually pick one and face against the other. And I guess you can say that it's funny that Rut would be the other gem most likely to get on her nerves, since she's also the only one who never actually had her stance on sides change, since she never really had one to begin with, so I'm not sure it's fair to say she's neutral considering she never had any direct contact with the other sides to claim neutrality. So in a sense, the only really neutral ones are Rupine, Mel, and Eve. Doesn't make them any less of the ultimate nOPE Squad, but ye. I don't know, thought I'd bring this up for some reason. [/hider]
