I have literally no idea what's going on. You're just supposed to drink stuff from the bottles?

[But she's in the bar because... Reasons, apparently. Everyone's drinking weird stuff in bottles that smells quite frankly like the stuff that Amethyst sometimes drinks.

Someone please help this awful Blue Person Have Fun.]

[reposing]

It helps if you have the organs for its effects.

Lapis, isn't it?

[He's never met her, but the gem on the back and her appearance is kind of a giveaway.]

[mirrortide]

Pretty sure my username is Pierre, but yeah. That's me.

[The blue definitely gave it away, didn't it.]

[reposing]

Is that the name you want to be called? A username is but a name for the network.

[yeah it kinda did]

[mirrortide]

Sure, why not. Might as well mix with the humans if there's so many around.

[And it's the name of her Third Favourite Human.]

[reposing]

I think that perhaps there are less than you may think, but do as you wish.

[mirrortide]

I'll change my statement to "Organics" then. That fair enough?

[It's a broad enough term to cover most of the station, she feels.]

[reposing]

If you don't care about possibly offending others, so be it.

[Alucard sounds largely indifferent, but he's pretty sure some people may take Offense.]

[mirrortide]

Yeah, no, don't really care about that. [And she fails to see how it's possible to offend someone by calling them organic? It'd be like if someone called her inorganic? It's what she is?]

[reposing]

An interesting sense of compassion.

[Alucard says it airily, but all the same it's not his problem or business. She is willing to help them escape; he could not ask for more.]

If you wish to join the others, I can recommend the organs you would need.

[mirrortide]

["Help" in the loosest sense of the term, anyway.]

Gonna have to tell me what they do too, if you're that willing.

[reposing]

That is easy enough for me. Will you need diagrams?

[mirrortide]

I don't think so. It doesn't matter the size of them, does it?

[Like, they just need to do a specific job, right?]

wildcarding to after the game don't try and stop me

[twoaffirmations]

[9S is somehow even more curious than usual, thanks to his being phenomenally bad at "Never Have I Ever". Now he was left with a pleasant, warm buzz, because he just kept taking shots for no reason.]

So you're made of light, orrr...? I've used hard light before, but I've never seen it used to simulate a body.

slams u into the ground

[mirrortide]

[Unfortunately for 9S, Lapis cannot get drunk. Sorry.]

Mostly made of light. My Gem is real.

and yet, I persevere

[twoaffirmations]

Your gem?

[9S is leaning this way and that, clearly trying to find it. Too bad it's on her back.]

What are you, some kind of AI?

[mirrortide]

It's on my back, and if you try and touch it we're going to have a problem here. [No Joke.]

I'm a Gem. From Homeworld, sent to Earth, repeatedly, and now I just live there.

[twoaffirmations]

[There's a lot of things to unpack here. For starters, since she told him he can't touch her gem, now he really wants to touch it.

More important than that though, 9S tenses at her explanation.]

What do you mean you were "sent" to Earth? You're an alien?

[mirrortide]

Uh, yeah? What gave it away? The fact I was blue? Sent to Earth? The fact that I'm not made of fleshy bits?

[She doesn't even see him tense because Lapis Is Pretty Certain That Was Implied.]

[twoaffirmations]

Since you're made of hard light I thought you might have been android technology, but it looks like you're just another alien invader.

[9S' voice goes from curious to cold in an instant. Aliens had ruined Earth in more than one timeline already.]

Why can't you just leave Earth alone?

[mirrortide]

[Lapis gives him A Look.]

I am leaving Earth alone, actually. I live there now.

[twoaffirmations]

Nice try, but there's no such thing as an alien coming to Earth and leaving it alone.

[Then, with finality.] You don't belong there.

[mirrortide]

Pretty sure that isn't something that you get to decide. [She puts her hands on her hips.]

[twoaffirmations]

It's just the fact of the matter.

[Unfortunately the reality of the situation kicks in.] But we're all stuck here for now, so just don't cause can trouble for the humans.

[mirrortide]

It's not the fact of anything. You don't get to tell me what to do. [She points a finger at him accusingly.] Ever.
