[ENTRANCEWAY] IC CONTACT

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]

[It works in the sense in that it makes Peridot snort again.] Hey, if you get the chance because you don't have much else to do while you wait for the cycle to complete and your Mirror to be imprisoned again- take her limb enhancers. She needs to be free from her shackles. It'll be good for her.

I don't think there's an ocean to dump them in over here. Do you think I can take them with me?

[There, this isn't so bad, right? Being unhappy about legitimately lousy situations but sitting around making jokes about it. The sense of being lost and at a loss isn't going anywhere, but at least some things can become a bit more familiar again.]

You can try.

[She adjust herself a bit, getting more comfortable.] I think I'll just stay here until she's forced back over to that side. That way you don't have to be lonely or find ways to distract yourself.

[And that. The problem's not going anywhere, but neither are they. That is a relief; in a different way, it feels like being back.

This is the dawning of a new ongoing headache. Lapis can deal with it, at this point. She'll never be happy with it, but she'll adapt to it. Right now, though, even if all she has are cold backwards letters on glass to get across -- she takes a moment trying and failing to come up with words that might actually live up to the meaning behind them -- she really does not want to be left alone.]

Thank you.
