We Are the Crystal Gems

Huh, it looks like nobody has really engaged with Howlite yet. I'm at least going to have Spinel mention her, hopefully this one won't get ninja'd!

@Loony You just made me think of a really good point. In the first episode Steven wants to activate his gem's ability and eventually does, but the circumstances had to be just right. Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl's advice didn't seem to help much, but the episode established that every gem's ability has different ideal circumstances for it to activate, right? Since Spinel was made to be a stealth gem, maybe it wouldn't be too unreasonable for me to say that the knowledge of her abilities just sort of clicked, because the circumstances were right?

@Saarebas I guess I kind of took some liberties... or like, one liberty. I didn't think it was too far-fetched so have some of her basic abilities be instinctive. I don't think the show has touched on it yet.

I hope it's okay with you guys if we say that Spinel was far enough away starting off that she could see everybody, so my post can work.

@Loony I will never not get a Studio Ghibli reference, my friend! Unless it's from literally anything but Castle in the Sky because that's the only movie of theirs that I've actually seen.

I think I just turned Spinel into the Fluttershy of this rp.

White Spinel watched the action from the pile of rubble she had situated herself in. Since she had awoken, a large, loud being had gotten her attention by yelling about things she couldn't believes anyone would ever care about. A loud rumbling sound had revealed itself as another being, yet another being had made themselves known by colliding with the big one, and still another appeared as if they were getting ready to start a fight.

This wouldn't do. These individuals had ruined the silence that Spinel had been sincerely enjoying, and their bright, distinct colors were ruining the dull, dead landscape. What should I do? Spinel wondered to herself. Shoot them? Could she do that? For some reason, she was sure that she could. She decided against that course of action. Firing at them would probably cause even more noise, and something about the idea of harming other living beings made her feel... bad. She had no precise word for the feeling, but it was certainly bad. Should she simply approach them and ask them to stop? No, that could lead to her being asked tedious questions. Try to frighten them? A smirk drew across Spinel's face. Frighten them.

The little ghost gem instinctively turned invisible and she began running towards the strangers, but she reduced her speed to a slow walk as she started to get close. A mouse's footsteps would hardly have been quieter. She snuck up on the gems until she was close enough that she was sure her voice would startle them. "Leave this place at once!" she attempted to shout, but it came out as more of a squeak.

Hmm I was considering having Spinel do something but Loony pretty much already did it. Once Evenkite and Amber get a conversation going you can expect her to butt in though.

I intend to have Spinel take notice in some way, but someone else will probably have to interact with her before she actually does anything. I'm also going to wait to do anything until everyone has posted at least once, possibly barring the human characters because they probably aren't present yet, and Bloodstone because I assume the villain won't show up until we've all gotten a chance to do something.
