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.

[twoaffirmations]

The alternative would turn out badly for both of us, so I suggest just heeding the warning.

[mirrortide]

No, it'd just turn out badly for you. So, again. Don't tell me what to do.

[twoaffirmations]

Uhh, I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, lady.

[mirrortide]

Look, I'm going to make it simple for you. Just stay out of my way and don't bother me. [That should be easy enough to handle, and Lapis moves to push her way past him.]

[twoaffirmations]

[9S grumbles as she pushes past, giving her a scrutinizing look over his shoulder.]

Whatever.
