Grey Sapphire had been living in the Kindergarten for a while now.
With the hope, that somewhere out there, were Homeworld gems that would get her back to Homeworld, to her home.
But for now, the most important thing was to stay patient, and careful of course.
The last thing she needed were Crystal gems to find and shatter her..
Sapphire always hated the idea of protecting that pile of rock, and she still does. Why should somebody betray their own Homeworld..?
She was lost in thoughts..
She didn't understand, tho, she had better things to do than to hang around and try to understand these traitors..
She got out of the hole she always hid in, and sat down on a small roc and sighed, she would have to look around in this deserted place eventually...
Sapphire picked up a rock nearby and looked at it for a few seconds, it was so tough..But also so smooth at the same time..
She was already filled with anger because of all of this, so she growled slightly and threw the rock away, anger filled her mind.
"T-this is just great..!" She mumbled to herself.

The small blue agate had warped into the Kindergarden and began his journey home, with supplies in-tow. Slung over his shoulder was a few planks of wood that were slightly taller than he was, making the whole situation rather awkward, although he handled the weight surprisingly well. In his other hand was a bag with other smaller supplies, such as nails and tools.

The trip through the Kindergarden was something he was very careful about, one too many corrupted gem encounters had taught him it was better safer than sorry. As such he always kept an eye out on the surrounding cliffs, although normally he would travel above the canyon he didn't have the ability to climb up with all his equipment. As such he heard something up ahead, the sound of rocks being disturbed, before he managed to see it.

It could have just been some eroding rock finally coming loose, but it could just as likely be a corrupted gem making a mess. Seeing as it would be far too noisy to set down his materials Agate resigned to attempt moving stealthily with everything still in hand. Moving up he finally turned around the corner blocking his sight (the clanking planks and crinkling plastic bag doing very little to hide his presence) only to find it wasn't what he expected.

Originally he was searching the walls for anything hanging onto them, his eyes then slowly descending to scan the environment until they finally settled on the small grey gem. He had never seen a gem like her before, immediately he forgot his original task and decided to investigate. Seeing as there was no obvious danger he set down his stuff, dusted his vest off, and moved to close the distance between them.

Upon getting closer or being seen the small gem tipped his hat and did a small bow, "Well hello there! I am Agate, who might you be?"

The Sapphire was lost in thought, as she heard a voice beside her.

It was another gem , a not corrupted one at least.

She seemed to be suprised and quickly turned her head to see a small, blue Agate as he asked her who she is.

She answered with a suprised look, while answering the Agate quickly.

"I am Grey Sapphire Facet - 325 Cut - 556." She then asked,

"Are you one of 'them'?" She fastly stepped back, keeping a safe distance from the other Gem.

She was ready to defend herself if it should be nececarry, she didn't even know who that gem was, nor what faction they belogned to.

She hid her Gemstone that was located on her eye with her long hair slightly, but not for the Small Blue Agate to notice.

(No need to quote replies, just replying to the thread is fine :) )



He noted the rather surprised look on but pressed on, "A pleasure Grey Sapphire Facet 325, Cut 556! Hope you mind if I shorten that down a tad."

Agate was then confused for a moment before it clicked in his head, "One of those 'things'? Ah, you must mean the beasts that stalk this place. Nope! Can't say I've ever grown fangs or sprouted tendrils. I am curious though, if you're worried about them then why are you here of all places? No better place to find the lion then at its den after all."

He then held out his gloved hand to shake, "Still, glad we crossed paths I suppose. I didn't think I'd have any company today, this place is usually empty. Scary monsters excluded of course."

(Sorry for the wait, but I was really busy this week so I couldn't come onto here, I will tell you next time!)

"Of course, you can.."

She looked at the Agate and answered to his statement about the corrupted gems:

"No no no, I mean the rebellion.."
She didn't notice a Diamond insignia on the gem, to add that this gem was way too small for an Agate.

As the Agate said something about a lion she asked with concern in her voice:
"You can't be assigned to Homeworld, you must be a defect? Also, what's a 'lion'?"

"..Nevermind, it's nice to have company, too. I didn't see any other gem for some time now."
"Except for the corrutped ones, of course.."
She thought about what the Agate would answer, she hadn't thought that she would meet a gem here..
"Now I can ask something, what are YOU doing here? Didn't think that anybody would show up here.."

He was actually a tad surprised, "Oh, You meant rebels? Hmm, well I feel sort of silly then. But the answer is the same, I've never been a rebel. Only... hmm, how was it put? 'Misguided' I believe was the term."

"In any case, I don't really know what 'defect' means but I am indeed a certified Homeworld agent."
He struck up a proud pose, puffing up his chest for effect, "I, Blue Agate, am the apprentice to the magnificent, respected, and all around dapper Grand Inquisitor Opalite!" There certainly was a great bit of pride in his voice, even if it did sound just like a rehearsed speech, "He operates underneath White Diamond directly as an agent of... some sort. He never went into details."

"I'm glad to be company for you, I know it can get lonely here. As for the 'why', well it wasn't actually on purpose. I was..." his voice trailed off only for a moment, "...hmm, how about this, why don't we play a game. It's something I'm suppose to practice. To put it simply, we answer questions in turns. First me then you."

Excitedly he began, "To answer the question then, I was here to bring some supplies to fix up something I had put off for quite some time. Now, same question for you, why are you here? It isn't exactly safe."

"Well, I come from Homeworld too, it's nice to meet you Blue Agate!"
She did a friendly gesture and answered to the Agate's question:
"Well, actually, I was supposed to be here for a short ammount of time, around a few days, but well, my ship crashed here and my companionship was shattered by the rebellion, I even heard that some of them didn't quite survive the crash."
She seemed very shocked while explaining the situation she was in..
"..Now I can ask you, Grand Inquisitor Opalite? I think I heard of this one once.."
"Some of the Quartzes talk about them.."
She added while she seemed to look a bit happier.
"Well, under White Diamond? Oh, under the same Diamond I served under. But, it's good that he didn't go into details, huh.." She quickly stopped and changed the subject:
"But, why wasn't it on purpose? Did something bad happen?" The Sapphire seemed to show some caring for the other gem, tho she just met them.

His usually smile was replace with a horrified look, “They shattered them? Really? That’s terrible, I had no idea the rebels were capable of that. I’m sorry to hear.”

His smile gradually returned at the mention of Opalite, “Yes, Grand Inquisitor Opalite! He goes around and learns stuff and fixes problems, from what I can tell at least. It seems a lot of gems know him, he really seems to be a popular one.”

He waggled his finger, “Not so fast, now it’s my turn! So now I’m curious, why do you think it was good he didn’t go into detail?” Despite being his apprentice, he actually seemed oblivious to the more often... darker nature of his teacher.

Sapphire watched the gems conversing. They were Homeworld, of course. She didn't want to cause a fight, so she hid. At least, until a corrupted gem showed up. She summoned her bow, and as quietly as possible fired, no clean hit. The arrow flew in to the sky. "Oh frick!" she whispered very loudly. The gem approached, two Homeworld gems probably about to try and poof her, or worse shatter her. She did one of the strangest things a gem would do to live... She jumped in a hole. The gem dug in and she thought she was screwed, until Junidite stabbed it with The Flaming Cringe. After a moment of stabbing, they poofed it, bubbled it and were running. "This is great! You said this was under control," Juni said. "Blame that corrupted gem for me jinxing you!" Sapphire replied. They found themselves in a corner. "Oh hack no," Juni muttered.
