Everything was happening so fast, it made Vert's head spin- more Gems showed up, then some Not-Gems came and went, and then Other Green shined a light in her eyes and that was annoying but he was a Newborn so she couldn't exactly be mad at him after all she was basically a Newborn herself[color=8dc73f][i]FOCUS.[/i][/color] She took a deep breath (even if she didn't need to breathe, it helped with the whole, "concentrate and stay calm" thingie), and let it out, focusing herself and looking around, taking everything in completely as she could.

Firstly, she took stock of everyone around her- there was Aquamarine, Sodalite, Kinda-Orange, Other Green, and now a Red Gem. There were some Not-Gems, too, but they were leaving. Sad, kinda- she'd like to see how Not-Gems fared for company. She didn't have much luck with Gems, aside from these new ones, but that was always subject to change. There didn't seem to be much going on, until...

[color=7bcdc8][i]-I am not a part of Bloodstone's team and I am not part of his HomeWorld. I will not force you to choose sides. Just be careful. I know better than anyone that he isn't always what he seems-[/i][/color]

Vert stiffened, half with rage, half with fear, fuzzing into static repeatedly as sparks started to fly from her form. She turned to Aquamarine, desperation plain on her face.

[color=8dc73f]"H-Homeworld...? Did I hear that right? There are Gems from Homeworld here?! Oh, jeez, oh my..."[/color] She started to float around in a circle in a simulacrum of distressed pacing, agitated arcs of electricity jumping up and down her arms, sparks flying from her toes. She stopped just as suddenly, and zoomed to within a few inches of Aquamarine.

[color=8dc73f]"We, we, we have to leave. Now. Like, now. Before they get here, before they see us, 'cause if they see us... if they see me...!"[/color]

She started to hyperventilate, as illogical as that was. Well, screw logic. This took priority. She turned away from Aqua and--

And there he was. At least, he seemed like a he. They didn't technically have genders, so she could call him, "it." But that would get confusing, since he looked like a he, and [i][color=8dc73f]OH CRAP, THERE'S HOMEWORLD GEMS, DEPLOY ESCAPE MANEUVERS[/color][/i]

With a yelp, Vert's body became green lightning- still in much the same shape, but pure energy and electricity- and flew in an arc over Aqua's head, striking the ground behind her and reforming into her more solid shape. She floated quickly up behind Aquamarine, taking care not to touch her, or anyone else- hurting people was (hopefully) not on the agenda today. She peeked out from behind Aqua, still trembling and glitching.

[color=8dc73f]"Is that them? Are they with Homeworld? Don't let them come over here, if they are. 'Cause then they'll want to do things again, and I'll have to get messy again, and then I'll have to go to sleep and try to forget again..."[/color] She continued muttering such nonsense to herself, eyes locked on Red Man Gem fearfully.
