The City of Gems

So uh

Emergency filling and crown, plus and emergency tooth pulling

Without sedation

I couldn't sleep yesterday because my face was pulsing with pain and I can't sleep tonight because the filling feels weird and occasionally aches like a bitch too

Take care of your teeth friends nothing is worth this hell

Also I'll try to get a post up tomorrow or Monday assuming I haven't taken an entire bottle of melatonin in an attempt to sleep until the pain is gone

The City of Gems

I've got a potentially long wait at the dentist's office tomorrow, I'll bring my bluetooth keyboard and try to work out something for my first post. Assuming I don't need a tooth or seven pulled (Ihaven'tbeentothedentistsinovertenyearsandmyteetharefuckinggross) I should have my first post with Carmen freaking out up tomorrow.

The City of Gems

*Crawls his way free of ARK: Roleplay Evolved, and the trade empire he's building*

YES! So, hi. Been a while since I popped in... How's everyone doing? o3o

Also, hell yeah, I'm excited to get things going. Gotta get the OT3 together in Discord so we can discuss what we're gonna do for our openers. Hypeeeeeeee

The City of Gems

@Peridot @Akayaofthemoon I'm a little late to the party on this, but I wanted to say something about Carmen's history and being called a gem by other kids;

In Steven Universe, Beach City is a small town. These people have grown up with some big, imposing statue standing over their homes and businesses. Occasionally, rather colorful (and I mean that literally and figuratively) have come out of it to take care of some creature that's terrorizing the town. Amethyst took things a step further and befriended at least one person in town that we know of (Vidalia). Its a small town, and These people know enough about the gems to just accept them as a part of life. They've always been there and they've (mostly) not done any harm to people or property.

In empire city, the only people they interact with are the hotel staff, and the entire musical number once they get there definitely points out that the staff don't give the slightest shit about whoever comes in, so long as the individual can pay up. It's by no means a good gauge of what outsiders think about gems.

Now, we have Crystalisis. Completely new turf, with a scenario never mentioned in the show. People have been born and raised in a city that was built on top of a gem production facility. Their structures and tools have got to be all over the place, the scars of battle from the rebellion war catalogued and recorded in history books. Stories of grotesque creatures that spawned after it have to be lurking around everywhere, too. Of course the people of crystalisis know about the gems. They've lived atop what they left behind all their lives, heard about gem mutants, learned about the war in history books. Kids are mean. We know this. It's not hard to imagine a group of them learning more about gems, and picking on the odd kid out because he has a different appearance.

Carmen's already massive biography has gotten even larger. He now is friends with gypsies, can basically belly dance, and play the guitar.

Raijin and I also discussed Carmen and Reggie's history together, and moved their meeting back to childhood.

The City of Gems

I'm seriously considering adding belly dancing to Carmen's list of skills just to make any potential fusion dances incredibly awkward

I shouldn't be allowed on the Internet after 12 AM dear lord

The City of Gems

@Loony hhhhhHHHHHHHHHH

Your art is so cute ;w; Why do I keep joining roleplays with people that do hella rad artttt

Also to both you and @Raijinslayer should I get in on this stuff to discuss mixing a bit of Eve into Carmen's background, or was I reading too much into that because sleepiness?

The City of Gems

@Raijinslayer My brains a little frazzled right now due to the lack of sleep I've had lately, hard to keep up with everything thats going on in here. I'm happy we've got such a big crew this time around, but its making keeping track of who has what and what characters have history with what other characters a little confusing, especially since this is only my second trip on this crazy ride and my stint in the last thread was short and broken up heavily ewe

I can happily make a little group chat with you, myself, and @Loony so we can discuss it, then present what we decide on here for Kronshi and Akaya to decide on. Wanted to discuss stuff about Carmen and Reggie, and their parents, now that I'm thinking about it.

EDIT:
Every time I think my muse and drive for this roleplay is dying down, I end up going on a late-night youtube binge and I get all kinds of crazy ideas for inventions and just ideas for Carmen in general and and aaaaAAAAA I JUST CANNOT WAIT TO GET CARMEN STARTED ON SOME OF THIS STUFFFFFFFFF
