oceantier[She's not completely convinced that this world and its people aren't malevolent and/or something to avoid yet. The circumstances of this place . . . they're really not her business. It's not the way of her kind to concern themselves with a given planet's inhabitants -- far better to do what Gems need from the planet and have done.]
[Maybe it's Steven's influence still working on her. Maybe it's the fact of watching so many of these people up close, seeing their faces and listening to them in the streets. Maybe it's the couple of individuals that she has met -- barring the one who tried to kill her -- who hint that maybe, maybe there might be more like them.]
[She just knows she has to try.]
[The consoles haven't been hard to figure out. She's watched others using them, not to mention technology far more advanced than them.]
[It's more the resolve that takes work. The conviction to approach. Actually willingly making connection with the other residents of the turtle.]
[As the audio feed actually comes on, her resolve falters. Skitters away. For several moments the Network will be met with silence as Lapis pulls back from the console. Almost flees entirely.]
[But she comes back. Slowly. Hesitates for a few more seconds. Tries again.]
H-Hello? [Her voice wavers. She digs in, forces firmness into it -- as much as she can manage.]
My name is Lapis. Lapis Lazuli.
Someone told me that . . . that this turtle that you're living on, it's sinking.
[More silence. She nibbles at her lower lip, hesitating, before the words surge out.]
Do people breathe underwater here? [Genuine uncertainty on this.] There seems to be a lot here that doesn't. Plants. And animals.
What . . . are people doing about this? [More genuine uncertainty. They might be doing everything in the world about it; she honestly wants to know about the plan.]
[To sum up: Turtle is sinking . . . should Lapis be worried about everyone drowning?]
[More hesitation.]
Also, is . . . there usually not a lot of rain here? I thought the fields on Earth were green . . .
((ooc: I'd love to get Lapis involved in trying to keep the Turtle afloat until someone can heal him if anyone would want to plot. She's an extremely powerful water user, but Asti is also his own continent. --If I've missed someone else's plottings, though, please let me know!))
