Vert almost cursed as she felt the gaze of Blue... 1? Maybe 2. She seemed deferential to Other Blue. And she was smaller. Vert shrugged internally. Blue 2 it is, then. Making Other Blue... Blue 1. Maybe Blue Prime. That sounded cooler. ...What was she talking about again? Oh. Right. They'd seen her. She started to back away, hopefully she could get out before they decided to round her up, and then she'd have to get messy again and that meant so much sweeping up and then she'd have to go to sleep again before she cried too hard-- She stopped herself, forcing her to stay in one place. Something was different here. Blue 2 had started talking. Calling out. Not the same kind of calling out she'd been used to when they were still doing things to her. This Gem sounded... kind. Excited, even. In a different way to the Gems that had designed her, anyway- they only got excited when she broke the right stuff. Anyway, focus- what was Blue 2 saying? Something about how many there were. How many what? What was she measuring? Blue 2 introduced herself. Sodalite. Hmm. Blue 1 was introduced as Aquamarine. Hmmmmm. Kinda-Orange remained un-introduced. [color=8dc73f][i]Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.[/i][/color] Her form crackled into static for a split-second as she contemplated things. They didn't seem like the others. But then, this could be some kind of ruse. Or maybe these Gems were just the same in a different way. She'd only ever had contact with the scientist varieties of Gems when she'd been up last. These ones could be just as bad, but in different ways. Messy was still a thing that could happen. She reiterated to herself that she did not like messy. She floated a few inches forward, sparking incessantly. A bit closer. Closer. Surely they could see her now? Damn- why was everyone taller than her? Even Kinda-Orange was taller than her. [i][color=8dc73f]Damn you, cheap scientists- couldn't even make their "Weapon" sufficiently dangerous-looking. Budget cuts, am I right?[/color][/i] ...She was now within a few feet of them after her rambling stream-of-consciousness-or-whatever. They definitely saw her now. She swallowed, somewhat loudly. She needed to do something now. What was it Blue 2 (Sodalite) had done? Right. The mouth thing. Speaking. She could too that too, right? [color=8dc73f]"..."[/color] ... [color=8dc73f][i]I've gone mute!! ...Wait. No. Just nervous. That is also a thing that happens when you're awake. Nerves and stuff. Now I want to sleep again.[/i][/color] She took a deep breath, closing her eyes and trying to calm down. It mildly helped. She opened her eyes again, and then opened her mouth. [color=8dc73f][i]Come on, physical functions, don't fail me now...[/i] "Are... are you with Homeworld?"[/color] She crackled, mildly ominously. [color=8dc73f]"I-if so... you should... you should stay back. I don't want to do anything... messy."[/color]
