[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]

You startled me.

[As if that wasn't dramatically obvious. Well, dumb shenanigans and Peridot falling over are both very common features of life in these quarters, and while Lapis does not like being startled, she at least doesn't have a pulse to set racing. Her nerves will settle quickly enough. She gathers herself off the floor, once again having a mind to help Peridot up if there's any chance Peridot doesn't beat her to it, and if she's a bit more tense that's also rather normal for her.]

Not that I'm not glad you're excited and all, but please don't ever do that again.

[Peridot extends a hand for Lapis to help her up, which she smoothly uses to pull her into a hug.

Sometimes she can be the smooth one. Sometimes.]

Sorry about that. I just got excited. Who knows what's gonna be in that box today?

[ssmisery]

[Aww. Lapis successfully relaxes a bit more into the hug and gives her what might be a headpat or a hairtousle if Peridot's uncanny hair physics really allowed for either of those properly; in any case, it's fond and not forceful enough to run afoul with said physics.]

Then I guess we'd better find out.

[Although that means they have to proceed on over there and pay attention to that instead of getting any more affectionate. Oh well, Lapis still likes watching Peridot enjoy things.]
