I'm jsut ready for the IC to get started, lol.

@Archmage MC Just keep her away from any explosives and we should all be fine.

"...You want me to try to power the toaster by... poking it?"

@EnterTheHero

Eh, no promises. Marry isn't too reckless though, she wont do stuff that would lead to poofing on purpose and anything she thinks is dangerous she'll use portals to test first.

"Yes! Also power this little metal thing. Apparently humans call it a 'television' and use it to watch multiple things from jokes to lots of other stuff. Lots of weird things on this planet."

Next up was some lady who said she could manipulate emotions, messing around with one of the students to demonstrate that power. Man that was a terrifying power, Light'd have to look out for her. Making people feel sad, especially her, wasn't very fun! Then Mr. robot who showed off robot things. Yay robot things! But no giant laser of death or flamethrower which made Light sad. Though Light had something else to pay attention to as tapping Tentacle girl really made her jump and try to clean her face.

Apparently the girl was thinking some sad things but tried to hide it from Light. Though she did a pretty good job at distracting Light and Light figured she could try to cheer her up with some cartoon slapstick as she wanted more of a demonstration. "Well, uh... I'm a toon. It pretty self explanatory if you've seen a cartoon before. Light said at Natalya's confusion as to what a Toon was. At her blank stare Light sighed and thought up a skit and a better explination.

Hoping a few other students who were curious were looking, Light said "Well, uh... In order of your questions. No, I can pull anything from my dress and sorta store most things, but things I pull randomly can be anything. They tend to be mostly explosives though, Apparently this 'ACME' corporation is fond of explosives." pulling out a bowling ball pin and tossing it behind her into a corner, the pin exploding into black smoke.

Light then pondered how to explain the second option. And while she was keen on doing some neat dismemberment gags, she figured doing them in this area was a bad idea as people here didn't really know her too well. "As for the second thing, yeah it hurts. Everything does, I'm just really durable and have amazing regeneration." Light said. Sitting down on the ground, Light continued, trying to be a bit more animated looking as she wasn't doing a good job of being very funny. "If you want more of an example, go watch some cartoons on the internet. Just not the ones with blood, I can't bleed after all. Just think of me like a living thing of taffy or rubber or something." she continued.

"What about you? Why were you so 'deep in thought'?" Light said, getting into a relaxed position as she watched the last few students do their demonstrations.

@Archmage MC Page 3, about halfway down.

@EnterTheHero

OH, I dunno. Depends on how Vert acts towards Marry. Marry will probably have Vert help with lots of electricity experiments though.

The City of Gems

@Archmage MC Ah. Okay. I'll probably want to talk to you about what dynamic she may have with Vert, then.

@EnterTheHero

Which page was Vert on and what were they about? I know they're a bit gruff by the little rp sessions n stuff.

The City of Gems

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

Marry is a Crystal Gem, right?

@EnterTheHero

Yeah. Shes the portal user that looks like a japanese ghost with long fingers xD.

Shes very curious about well, everything. xD

The City of Gems

How about we talk about character relations?

@UnknownScarlet4

I'd need to RP with everyone to see where Marry stands with everyone. But I'm sure at the start, if you fell asleep when Marry was up, she probably did experiments while you were asleep xD.

Though I can see her being nonchalant or supportive about stuff.

The City of Gems

@Archmage MC
I dunno, Eise is a Rebellion Gem by technicality. She was alive during the Rebellion but wasn't actually a Crystal Gem, though she has given up believing in Homeworld.

@Pathfinder

Ah. i think Marry can fit anywhere in the hierarchy due to how open ended I left her story, since its all about studying and stuff.

So I'd need to know how long some of the rebellion gems were around, as too many years and Marry wont have much to study as she probably would've done it by now.

The City of Gems

So how do we start the IC? All the Rebellion gems know each other and are getting newborns or what?

The City of Gems

Practical effects aren't that much more expensive than CGI all things considered, they just take a bit longer to produce and to reset if you mess up the scene.

As for why they look better, its usually because there are these little bits of movement caused by the scene itself, little bits of lighting being off, or just some extra motions that a real object makes that an animator forgets about that make it look better when its real.

UNless its that sonic the hedgehog live action thing. Did that get canceled?
