[ENTRANCEWAY] IC CONTACT

[slapfight]

 

You've reached Peridot, leader of the Crystal Gems. I can't get to your call right now, but you can leave a message, and if I'm not too busy being a great savior and all-around wonderful gem, I'll get back to you.

[pause]

...Is that all I do? When does it- [BEEP]

If we figure out her secrets,
we might actually find a way to defeat her! Wouldn't that be great?

[sslillappy]

[Well. Peridot seems to have a basic misapprehension here. Lapis doesn't really want to shut her down too bluntly, which would probably bring down the mood, but she also doesn't want to humor this too far, or say anything too incriminating. Plus, this is already way less fun than talking about themselves.]

Are you sure it's not just that you want to play spy?

[There's another tongue-sticking-out-smiley. Just to make sure.]

[slapfight]

[She turns red again.]

It's just you're such a nice
Mirror! What happens to nice Mirrors over there long-term? It can't be easy.

The company leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not dumb enough to get into any serious trouble.
Such as, for instance, listening to Reals who try asking me to commit treason. Just as an example.

[slapfight]

[awk... ward.]

That's a good point. You'll be okay.

[sslillappy]

Besides...
You realize I could steal an ocean too.

[Y'know, if there was one.]

[slapfight]

That thought hadn't actually occurred to me until this moment...

[Mostly because Mirror Lapis just doesn't seem like the type to steal oceans.

And a little bit that she wanted to believe Mirrors were just less powerful in general. The look on her face suggests it might actually be more than a little bit.]

[sslillappy]

Haha, don't worry. We don't even have one over here.
