We Are the Crystal Gems

@21308 >////< Friendsplease.

But yeah, I suppose that could work. Amber, Sodalite, Evenkite, and Spinel on one end, Aquamarine, Zircon, and Howlite on the other. Emerald's sorta nOPE right now so he doesn't count, I suppose, but he'll be with Aquamarine as well. She could even justify it in that since Aquamarine is more experienced than the rest of them, she makes up for it being a smaller group, while Amber's group would benefit from more people since they're less experienced.

10 miles? Wow. I shall now erect a tombstone in the memory of your legs:


Also I need help too because this is going to sound really dumb but apparently I've begun vividly hallucinating (or maybe I fell asleep but I highly doubt that) my skull being crushed by tires so that's fun. Felt like I was about to die when I snapped out of it for a few moments. X______X Yay for having first hallucination in forever being terrifying in nature.

Welp, writing that took way longer than it should have, but it's up. ^ ^"

Other than having joined in the laughter at Sodalite's antics, Evenkite remained mostly quiet, simply taking in Aquamarine and Spinel's words along with the sight of the ravaged area of town, too absorbed in the sights (another advantage of being held by Amber was just how much more she could see) and her thoughts to bother responding, never mind deal with the mess that was her hair. Her eyes scanned out for the familiar face of Johnny, for as little as she had known him, she was concerned for his well being. After all, Aquamarine has said that the Red Eye wanted to know exactly where 'we' are, 'we' referring to the other gems. He had no part in this and got involved anyways, which wasn't fair to the little gem.

As they continued on their way, Evenkite eventually broke her silence, asking, "Um, Aquamarine, ma'am, may I make a suggestion?"

She waited until she was sure she had her attention before continuing.

"If we're going to help the townsfolk, maybe we should split up to cover more ground? After all, there's more than enough of us to do so, and if you're concerned about potential dangers, we could split into two groups; you in one, Amber on the other, since you two seem to be the strongest gems. That way, we'll have enough protection on both ends."

Part of this was indeed the desire to cover more ground as she had stated, but she also had two ulterior motives. The first was the need to do something, anything useful for the group, for even something as simply as such a suggestion being accepted would feel like a war won after being what she thought of as a needless hindrance to the group, and the second was simply to have some distance between Aquamarine and her. Her feelings on the older gem were beginning to conflict with her previous ones, and she needed time to think them over away from her presence.

@21308 Yup! So here's for Eve making bad decisions on her part trying to get the group to separate!

Scratch that, seems like I'm not being dragged off anywhere.

@21308 I'm cool with them either being NPCs or individually controlled, but if I'm picking one other the other, it's the latter.

Anyways, just wanted to let you all know that I'm being dragged off, so a post isn't going to happen tonight on my end. Sorry 'bout that.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@pyroman Dork Squad it is, then! And Gilles, well, he'll meet up soon, I think. With the humens, of course.

Is...Is that all, or is anyone else going to join us...? Should I...Should I make a post?

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Saarebas Alrighty, that makes two! I sorta had to ask because Eve and Amber and sort of going to be sticking together for at least a little bit. Sorry for dragging you into this XD *shot*

Anyone else want to join the Deuxième Dork Duo ?

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon Well, if we're going with the group split-up, as long as @Saarebas doesn't object, we could have Amber and Evenkite end up passing by Bloodstone? Possible @pyroman have the entire Dork Squad do so?

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon Agreed, both in that the idea of splitting off is a good one and in that the gems certainly had enough for one day.
