[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Raijinslayer]

@LoonyYeah we end early, my school ended in the first week or so of June.

[Loony]

@Raijinslayer Alright, that explains it.

[Akayaofthemoon]

I think something is wrong... The more I see the characters act sad, the cuter they get and I want to squeeze them O.o

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Abfkjdbfkd don't worry I want to as well, especially Emerald and, surprisingly, Bloodstone, though I doubt he'd react well to a hug. What about a terribly terrified and lonely younger Evenkite? Because we'll be seeing some of those soon.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Evenkite I want to hug and just literally pat her head while I do it >.< Spinel was like Omg its not you no be sorry! *hugs* cuteness level up
No, Emerald is so upset that he passed out! *hugs tightly* cuteness level doubled
What!? What!? Bloodstone almost cries! *huggles* everyone's cuteness level over 9000!!!!!!

[Raijinslayer]

Posted, and i decided that Bloodstone voice had some effect on Mars after all. is an explanation need for why Blood's voice evoked such a reaction from Mars' subconscious memories of a past life.

[Kronshi]

@Raijinslayer Did Reggie warp everyone to the Temple?

[Raijinslayer]

@KronshiWait, I thought you guys were still at the Kindergarten?

Apparently not, fuck. I'll redo it in a bit. My bad.

[Kronshi]

@Raijinslayer No, everyone is at the Temple now. And even if they were at the Kindergarten, they were at a different one than the one at Mohs Town.

[Raijinslayer]

@KronshiYeah, but Reggie was taking them to the different one by locking onto the coordinates of the warp pads activation, as he was taking Eve to go apologize to Sodalite first.

[21308]

@Loony Yeah, that's what I was asking. That's cool, did you deliberately look for a gem you could call Quin or was it the other way around? And I know your pain of having characters that you worked hard on and will probably never get to use.

@Akayaofthemoon I'm glad you think I've done a good job of writing sympathetic cuteness! Spinel's line when she explains why she feels so guilty, literally word for word as I have it so far: "Any competent archer could have pinned that monster down before it got to you without going anywhere near the danger themselves, and I failed on every count."

[Raijinslayer]

Okay, my post has been edited accordingly, the next move is now on you @21308

[21308]

The question now is whether it would be best if I had Chromite send them to the first Kindergarten, the temple or some other pad. If everyone wants us at the temple that's what I'll go with, and it does seem like the better option since sending them to the Kindergarten would get them tied up with Mars and Candice and possibly take unnecessary extra time. It might be hard for me to justify her doing that though.

[Loony]

@21308 No no, we were trying to colour code the group into a rainbow after we realised that if we didn't make Eve white but rather yellow, we could have a rainbow, and we needed one more gem anyways, a red gem, and though I had a lot of gem ideas to fill that role, I remember Harlequin Quartz my mind sorta went 'BOOM I HAVE AN IDEA AND IT'S BRILLIANT I'M NOT SURE IF IT'LL WORK BUT IT'S BRILLIANT'. Originally Quin was just going to be a normal gem, but then I remembered that Harlequin Quartz isn't only formed with titanium and quartz, but can also be made with Lepidcrocite and Hematite (we went with Hematite because then they'd be black and white in contrast to the rainbow) then I instantly thought that maybe she could be a fusion, and then her character just BOOM ideas flew from everywhere and it was magical. And thus Quin was born. And we all agreed that she was a good idea. So she stayed.

There's also Harlequin Opal, and if I ever did pick that for an OC, I'd probably give her quite a few references to the character of Arlecchino as well. Probably even more than with Quin, since that actual gemstone has the mottley pattern we associate with Arlecchino and such, and being a sole gem rather than two would give me more leeway. But ye. In fact, while deciding on a gem, I was thinking of having Harlequin Opal as based off Quin, but then Eve was like.

* @ V @ * LOONY NOTICE ME

And so I did. And now there are four Eves. One for each direction, season, 'pathy'...XD

I'll definitely have a spot for Quin in the future (probably not Ido because without Rupine it's just not the same), I'll have to because she's too fun, it's just that they'll never be the ultimate nOPE Squad again. ; v ;

[Kronshi]

@21308 It would have to be the Kindergarten. Chromite doesn't know where the Temple is.

[Raijinslayer]

@Kronshi@21308. . .Or they could head to the Mohs town forest warp? I'm pretty sure she'd know about that one, and since the gems were able to get info from the mayor, than our group could do the same by asking the locals. We could try asking Johnny, than Hogan to get them invested in the plot again, before finding the local to lead them to it.

[Kronshi]

@Raijinslayer True.

[21308]

@Kronshi Oh yeah, there was a warp pad in the forest right? That could save some time.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Oh that brings even more feels T.T Aqua blames herself and Spinel blames herself...The sads!

[21308]

@Loony I see, that's really cool. I like your creative process, I'm usually never even organized enough to use a template like having them all be color-coded after a rainbow or something. I just sort of wait until I come across an idea I think is cool and try to work that idea into a character. It's cool to see how one can lead to the other though, I love just suddenly having that explosion of ideas. It's too bad I'll never get to see the original nope squad in action, they sound pretty epic.
