@Loony That's a pretty astute observation! I know I've said that Spinel and Chromite are both from that other thing I made, and I also consciously made them both spinels. I had a based on nothing (besides that I thought it was a cool idea) headcanon that spinels were like the footsoldiers of gem society.
@Akayaofthemoon Haha that first one! "I'm just so angry at this damn electronic stick!" "Well, you're certainly handling it maturely." I have to deduct points for spider-murder though.
@Pathfinder I wish you the best, whatever it is. Take care.
@Akayaofthemoon I imagine Aquamarine would refuse Spinel's offer of help, knowing her. If there wasn't another gem to protect Spinel would probably insist, but as things stand it will probably end with her escorting Melanite back to the others, possibly with the intention of trying to go back to see if Aqua is in danger.
@Akayaofthemoon Well you could have her reply to Spinel and have them show up near the ship and then I could have Spinel respond to Melanite. But yeah I'm waiting for everyone's intentions to be clear on staying vs. leaving before I have Chromite do anything.
@pyroman I see. I obviously have no idea whether or not you'll be able to get one, although I do know that there are various third party organizations that give eligible people scholarship money, but you usually have to write an essay and will be one of hundreds or thousands of people to do so. Might possibly be worth looking into if you haven't already though.
