Woah, things happened while I was gone. *shot* I'll see if I can get stuff done IC but I promised a friend to help out with editing her stuff for summer school, but ye... Things I will say: 1) Spinel is amazing 2) Bloodstone definitely would win. They're untrained and extremely young (Eve is probably a few weeks old but being that she spent all her time at Kindergarten her knowledge is nearly that of the other three) and there's no way they could overpower Bloodstone. So if they fight, they're screwed. Amber's sheer strength might hold him off for a very short while, but ye. 3) I think Evenkite is pretty fair game for joining Bloodstone if he gets an early enough influence. Not that she won't be suspicious (this is Eve after all) but these suspicions aren't unique to Bloodstone; she doesn't trust Aquamarine either. Amber's opposition to Bloodstone (and if she shares the same feelings, Sodalite) might become a problem if she ends up getting closer to him (them), though, so Bloodstone might wanna act fast. 4) I love the new intro as well, for all the reasons previously stated. :3 5) I also still love Pearl, and I think the hate for her comes towards her old attitude towards Greg and her general coldness towards humans, along with how she values Rose over all else. *shrug* 6) I'd join in the Lapis debate but Kronshi and Raijin already got me covered.
