We Are the Crystal Gems

As what seems to be a massive amount of words being exchanged all over left and right, Zircon remains silent and tries to process it all once more. At the same time, Zircon could feel something in her head. Something annoying that's just floating around in there and it was completely bugging the crap out of her. What the hell is this feeling? The more she felt it the more her glare towards Bloodstone strengthened and the more she wanted to get this over with. Whether Zircon was expressing it any other facial way, she wasn't paying attention nor did she know. The glare was the best expression she knew what she was doing. Zircon thought this was taking too long, that much was true coming from the inside of her head. Such thoughts in her head include:

'Okay. So, the seven of us were apparently made, artificial to what it sounds like, and apparently NOT for war but to help out with the gem population and we wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for Bloodstone, or er..'Homeworld' at least. But Bloodstone and the Homeworld had a war with Aquamarine and the rebels cause whatever Homeworld was doing was killing the Earth, that and lot of people died cause of it. So all we need to do now is just pick a side.'
'..Sounds about right. Your point?'
'What the HELL ARE WE STILL DOING HERE?!'
'Bitch, I dunno!'
'I mean, both sides have been said yea? What's the problem then?'
'Well it does seem like a big decision for everyone since it, oh I dunno, effects their lives.'
'Ok that's understandable and I really don't have a right to be bothered by that nor do I want to at all but would it really take this long?'
'Uhhh probably.'
'GOD DAMN IT.'
'Aren't you effected by this at all?'
'Of course I am! I've just been thinking on everything behind it! The war, the Kindergarten, their reasons, just trying to find out which sid is the right side...'
'With the facts just given out? Look, it's not like you were there.'
'I know but...GAH! Just shut up!'
'Ok ok ok ok let's just compare back and forth here. Aquamarine seems like she cares for all us new gems, while Bloodstone just seems like he wants us to join him for whatever reason by being factual. All Bloodstone has done is give us information, useful information about ourselves, while Aquamarine has actually kept us safe and saved lives. Don't forget that it was Bloodstone who sent the spiderbots AND the giant eyeball in the first pla--'
'You do realize that I've already made a decision.'
'Wha--?! WHY THE HELL ARE WE DISCUSSING THIS THEN?!'
'Shut up! I talk to myself however I want to!'

...Huh. Seems like Zircon likes to talk to herself in her head when she's like this.

...

Awesome!

When Bloodstone walks off, Zircon relaxes and finally puts her hand down and rolls her shoulders back once. She takes a soft deep breath and pinches the bridge of her nose for couple of quick seconds, and she was looking downward. She had to calm down, or at least she wanted to. Hopefully no one notices her like that or think something is up with her. Everyone's attention was mostly towards Bloodstone and/or Aquamarine and she hasn't given any vocal cues that would give a clue, but still. She might've given a couple visual cues and just thinking that someone might have saw her and think something was wrong with her worried her enough. It's an annoying feeling. Now she just wanted to get it out of her system so it doesn't feel like her time was being wasted.

Ah...so that's what it is. Impatience...

Zircon looked up when she heard some gems' voices go about. She rolled her shoulders back again and straightened herself up before clearing her throat and facing them, "What Sodalite said," Zircon supported Sodalite's words towards Spinel. Zircon would prefer the whole group together just as it started. She wanted to say something more, but Sodalite couldn't have said it any better. Still, Zircon tried to add some things, "Even though it's short to say, I believe we can make it. We made it this far at least. And..it'd be nice to do it with everyone on the same side." Zircon then turns towards Aquamarine, "For the record going on his side didn't cross my mind," Zircon had a small smirk on. It was small, but expressive enough. "I'm with you for however long you need, or want me."

We Are the Crystal Gems

Zircon opened her mouth to finally ask a question but then she heard a voice that made her react by standing up quickly facing towards him and put her right hand by her left side near her gem slightly hiding behind her jacket as if about to pull out a weapon. She also had one foot slightly back. Although, Zircon doesn't know if she could even get a weapon out right now. Let alone what weapon it would be. However she remained still in that stance trying to look on guard, maybe even confident. Apparently, this is Bloodstone. By the way Zircon reacted, just Bloodstone's voice sounded manipulative. Zircon couldn't find the better words to describe it, but suspicious is one of them for now. Zircon was annoyed at the situation but her expression remained calm and serious. As Bloodstone talked, Zircon made a slight glare at him back and forth while listening to the words being exchanged. She glances from Bloodstone, to Aquamarine, to Emerald, to Spinel, and to anyone who spoke words. She then looked to Sodalite who responded to Spinel's question, and then slowly looked back to Bloodstone, "That much is obvious," Zircon spoke in a half-monotone voice. "But honestly, that's the only reason. Am I right?" Zircon wanted to make sure if that's really the only reason they were all made. Internally, Zircon was leaning more towards one guess. But eh, you never know.

@Akayaofthemoon
Oooo I really like that first black one

We Are the Crystal Gems

Zircon followed Aquamarine around until they met up with the rest of the group, along with some other human. Aside from the recent good news given, in which where Zircon can't wait to get to that temple mentioned earlier, something seemed off. Something was up. Zircon watched and listened to Amber and Spinel, with Spinel being more descriptive, explaining what happened and the name Bloodstone was mentioned. Zircon thought to herself for a quick second and then opened her mouth to say something, but she unintentionally stopped herself when her gaze wandered towards Aquamarine. It took her a second or two, but Zircon noticed Aquamarine's expression. Not only was something up, but it's bigger than Zircon thought. Probably still bigger than she thinks. It also says something about Aquamarine, in a good way though. It should probably be said differently about the whatever situation this is this time. Zircon glanced at one to another as she tried to process everything. Well, there probably wasn't anything to process yet except for the little details Zircon did know where the dots wouldn't be anywhere close to connecting. It seems like the new temple home will have to wait after all as everyone was told to sit down. It was question time. Zircon was going to remain standing and slowly pace around, but her mind told her to take a seat cross-legged at one of the far ends of the sitting bunch anyway. It's most likely that the other gems had the same questions as her, so she decided to stay quiet and let them ask first before she decides to ask her own distinct questions if there will be any. But heh, what are the chances of there being none?

The first question was asked, and it was answered in even more depth than expected. Zircon listened deeply and took it all in even though it was sort of a lot. This was gonna get everyone thinking. If it got Zircon thinking, which it did, surely it would get everyone else. As questions did pop up in Zircon's head, she still remained silent. She had to think about which question to ask first.

I also second the fact that I would be sad too if Spinel left ;-; or if any of the gems left really

Zircon nodded in agreement on the plan for the group to split up and nodded once more when told to follow Aquamarine. As she helped out when she needed to she also kept an eye out for Johnny, for it seemed like to be part of the priority. After all it would be nice to see if he was alright. After the exhale of relief was released from finding Johnny and saving him from near death, they met the guy who was with Johnny named Mayor Charles Coss. Mayor Charles Coss. Longest name yet. At least it sounded long. He seemed to have some authority of some kind so Zircon decided to lay quiet to let Aquamarine do the talking. Not only should Zircon let them do the talking but she either didn't know what to say or didn't have anything to say. If she did have something to say it has probably already been said so she didn't want to sound too redundant. Then, all of a sudden, Emerald came back and reformed. Didn't seem to be glitchy like last time, he seemed fine too. "Hi," Zircon responded simply to him, "Welcome back."

We Are the Crystal Gems

Zircon listened to Aquamarine's answer to Spinel, learning some new facts about themselves and what they plan to do soon. Zircon had absolutely no objections and in fact wanted to get moving even more now. If they got attacked by spider robots and a giant floating eyeball, who knows what could be next within that same day. Zircon looked towards the others and cracked a smirk herself giving a light chuckle at what just happened. Well it was more of a half-smirk and a half-smile put together. Perhaps it's a good thing to have a little fun after a little disaster here and there. It seems to be good for the mind at least. Almost makes you forget there was a situation in the first place, just by seeing the way that they're all laughing. Zircon's head slightly perked when Aquamarine said to head into town and headed that direction. She put a hand to her left hip before taking her hand away and looking towards it and slightly moving her jacket out of the way to see her dark gem. This was the first she actually took some time to look at her gem, and by time that means more than one second. She gently traced a her right thumb over it but then she quickly focused back to heading into town and caught up with Aquamarine. Zircon walked mostly behind Aquamarine but beside her as well. She then simply nodded at what Spinel said before putting her hands behind her head relaxingly.
