I’m back on my bullshit babey, like/reblog if you’re up for rp’ing with this sweet war criminal of a diamond, both in her diamond form as well as the feared Rose Quartz // written by annie // semi active

Quartz frowned in the direction of the other camp, narrowing her eyes. Something about them unsettled her and she wasn’t sure what it was.

Instead of pursuing the thought too much, she followed Aryn, moving to walk just in front of her as if to protect her.

"It looks like there's a camp up ahead, mom." Aryn said, lowering her binoculars. "It's only about three miles away, so we can make it in a couple hours if we head out now." (batchofdefects aryn, zombie au)

Quartz took a deep breath, staring out at the camp. She didn’t feel great about meeting new people… ever, really, but especially since this had all started. Oh, well. “Let’s. Let’s go then.”

[corruptedwhitegem]

White Quartz scooted as close to the glass as she could without crossing the barrier or letting go of Black Star, cooing softly at the lioness she’d made eye contact with. “Do you think they’re happy? I hope they are.”

She frowned a little when they couldn’t get closer, but she decided that was okay. She could just admire them from here, even if she really wanted in on their cuddle pile.

“Do they have any other big cats?” she asked. “They’re big cats, right?”

“Lions huh?  Well, to the lions we go!”  Black Star cheered, tucking the map away into her pocket.  Then she took the Quartz’s hand and led her through the zoo.  Although she liked to hold her love’s hand, Black Star was worried that White might wander off or get lost unless she held onto her.  Minutes of following signs and people watching later, the gems arrived at the vast lion exhibit.  Eyes of black widened as Black Star stepped up to the window, gazing inside at the large, majestic beasts behind.

The freckles under Calcite’s hand threatened to turn into spikes but relaxed when her touch came neither as a crushing grip or an attempt to stab her. White Quartz looked up toward Calcite’s face, uncurling and letting her limbs fall slack. “You’re... you’re not?” she asked. “You know about. About me?”

Her voice was smoothing out as she spoke, still gruff but now with a gloss of curiosity. She wiped the black blood trickling from her mouth with her arm and thought about a response, flipping through the book of words in her head. Stars, she hated how hard it was to form sentences sometimes.

“Our Diamond,” White Quartz echoed as she let Calcite examine her face. “Um, don’t... don’t get too close, I don’t want to. To get snagged.”

As if to prove her point (though she was really just doing it out of habit), she swiped her tongue across her lower teeth, clearing off the goop to reveal their broken points. “Blue says I gotta stop eating rocks but...”

Freed from most of her fear, she’d begun to ramble.

"... Blue Diamond. Said you wanted to see me," White Quartz said, speaking slowly as though she had to sound out each word. Her voice was rusty from disuse, her posture stiff, and even though her eyes were hidden by her goggles, her stance gave away the blankness of her stare. (corruptedwhitegem)

“Yes. Come in.” It wasn’t unusual for Diamonds to decide to keep a given gem as a sort of pet, it was odd that Blue Diamond would choose a white gem instead of one from her own court or possibly even Yellow’s. Calcite had to know what made this one special enough to get that sort of interest from the azure monarch. The quartz didn’t look exceptional at all, but that could just be surface level. “Now…let’s get a better look at you…” Calcite yanked her down to pull the odd choice of accessory from White Quartz’ eyes to observe her seemingly vacant stare.

White Quartz was grateful that Black Star held her hand as they walked; she got easily overwhelmed in such a new kind of chaos, and the anchor held her down and guided her through the winding pathways. She was also grateful that almost all the signs had pictures on them -- reading still didn’t come quite naturally to her, not in this kind of environment, so they were a welcome help.

The lions, of course, snapped her out of her daze entirely. She gasped and almost tripped over something when they caught her eye; she made eye contact with a lioness lying around and grinned.

“They’re so... pretty,” she said in a near whisper. “Are they just... here? All the time? Can we get closer?”

“Lions huh?  Well, to the lions we go!”  Black Star cheered, tucking the map away into her pocket.  Then she took the Quartz’s hand and led her through the zoo.  Although she liked to hold her love’s hand, Black Star was worried that White might wander off or get lost unless she held onto her.  Minutes of following signs and people watching later, the gems arrived at the vast lion exhibit.  Eyes of black widened as Black Star stepped up to the window, gazing inside at the large, majestic beasts behind.

Quartz sighed, squeezing Aryn’s hand back. “The, the trailer, trailer. Let me think.”

She stared at the ground, wrinkling her eyebrows. “Dammit, I’d have to look. I can picture it in my head, uh, perfectly, but not...”

"It looks like there's a camp up ahead, mom." Aryn said, lowering her binoculars. "It's only about three miles away, so we can make it in a couple hours if we head out now." (batchofdefects aryn, zombie au)

Quartz took a deep breath, staring out at the camp. She didn’t feel great about meeting new people… ever, really, but especially since this had all started. Oh, well. “Let’s. Let’s go then.”

[corruptedwhitegem]

“Oh, okay,” White Quartz said, perking up when she saw the map. “I think I get it.”

She almost started off in a random direction, not quite sure what the map was, but now that she was looking at it she understood a bit more. A particular animal caught her eye, making her face light up. “The lions! I love lions!”

“Alright alright,” Black Star chuckled, running to the edge of the sidewalk to hail herself and White Quartz a taxi.  One of the yellow vehicles had pulled up, and Black Star and White Quartz got inside.  Then, they were off to the Zoo, arriving in a fifteen minute drive.

[corruptedwhitegem]

“No, no, don’t leave me out of it,” Quartz insisted, shaking her head. “I’m just... nervous. We don’t know what they want, or who they are, or whether they’re harboring a starving pack of zombies to feed intruders to, or, or...”

She took a deep breath. “Nevermind.”

"It looks like there's a camp up ahead, mom." Aryn said, lowering her binoculars. "It's only about three miles away, so we can make it in a couple hours if we head out now." (batchofdefects aryn, zombie au)

“Don’t. Touch me,” White Quartz snapped, spitting up black blood. She wiped her face with her arm, frowning; Blue got mad when she was messy, she had to clean up.

“Nobody did this to me,” she said, this one phrase sounding more practiced than her regular halted speech. “I did. I was playing with my friends.”

She flinched away from Calcite’s scans, tensing occasionally to run and only succeeding in tripping herself and landing on the floor when one got too close to her gem. She knew the results that would show up, the rainbow of text marking her as a freak of a fusion and as an undesirable, saved only by the blue monarch’s grief. When the screen lit up in the corner of vision, she hunched into a ball and covered her head, freckles bristling like spikes. “Don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me,” she mumbled, half-coherent.

"... Blue Diamond. Said you wanted to see me," White Quartz said, speaking slowly as though she had to sound out each word. Her voice was rusty from disuse, her posture stiff, and even though her eyes were hidden by her goggles, her stance gave away the blankness of her stare. (corruptedwhitegem)

White Quartz stuck close by Black Star, suppressing her natural instinct to wander off so she wouldn’t get separated from her. She glued herself to the window the entire drive, watching the lights go by faster than even the bus ride had made them go.

“Do you ride those a lot?” she asked once they were out of the taxi.

“Alright alright,” Black Star chuckled, running to the edge of the sidewalk to hail herself and White Quartz a taxi.  One of the yellow vehicles had pulled up, and Black Star and White Quartz got inside.  Then, they were off to the Zoo, arriving in a fifteen minute drive.

[corruptedwhitegem]

Quartz put her hand on the smaller mermaid’s head, ruffling her hair as gently as she could. She was still so little, in comparison, she could hardly believe it. Had she ever been that small?

“We can go somewhere warm,” she said. “But you’ll have to swim there yourself.”

Quartz twirled around the smaller mermaid, smiling as she did. "Look at you," she cooed, trying to avoid facing her straight on and scare her, in case her mouthful of fangs would be too much. "Who would've guessed you'd turn out to be a baby!" (corruptedwhitegem 2 aqua mermaid au)

Aqua shrank away from the older mermaid slightly, nervously pressing her ears down. “L-loud.” She squeaked, closing her eyes and frowning. “T-too loud…”

[corruptedwhitegem]

Quartz put her hands over her mouth as she stilled, blinking at Aqua while she collected herself. Had she been shouting again? Sometimes the others got mad at her for shouting even when she wasn’t doing it on purpose.

“Sorry,” she said at a near-whisper. “I got excited.”

Quartz twirled around the smaller mermaid, smiling as she did. "Look at you," she cooed, trying to avoid facing her straight on and scare her, in case her mouthful of fangs would be too much. "Who would've guessed you'd turn out to be a baby!" (corruptedwhitegem 2 aqua mermaid au)

White Quartz tapped the toe of her shoe on the ground as she thought, eyes flipping back and forth from where they were to the zoo. She usually walked everywhere, but this was a city, so it wasn’t going to be anything like her walks through the Kindergarten or the mountains around it.

“We can walk back,” she decided. “I want to see the inside of a taxi!”

Black Star let out a “hmm” when White Quartz took her hand, but she didn’t mind it.  “A zoo is where lots of animals from all over the world are kept.  It’s uh.. similar to the Human Zoo I guess, but.. humans aren’t locked up in there, just wild animals like tigers, elephants, monkeys, they’re really neat!”

[corruptedwhitegem]

White Quartz walked -- well, shuffled -- into the lab, scratching at the thick black scabs from her last “incident” with the gem shards that were as scattered as her silver and turquoise freckles. She stared mostly at the floor, tired and upset on some level that she’d gotten dropped off here instead of being allowed her normal time alone in her room. Yellow had “run” her all day as a guard for a few rambunctious Quartzes who were smaller than her and she didn’t feel in the mood for meeting anyone new.

As lifeless as she seemed, when Calcite touched her goggles, she lit up. A low growl poured from her mouth as she bared jagged, black-stained teeth and took a few steps backward. Her eyes lacked any visible sclera, being only pools of cracked silver with dark pupils, which were at that moment narrowed into slits. She still didn’t quite look at Calcite, but she seemed to know her general direction.

"... Blue Diamond. Said you wanted to see me," White Quartz said, speaking slowly as though she had to sound out each word. Her voice was rusty from disuse, her posture stiff, and even though her eyes were hidden by her goggles, her stance gave away the blankness of her stare. (corruptedwhitegem)

“I wanna go there!” White Quartz said, grinning. “Can we? Or do you have somewhere you want to go first?”

She started rocking on her heels, excited and having a hard time containing herself to only “socially acceptable” behavior to show it.

Black Star let out a “hmm” when White Quartz took her hand, but she didn’t mind it.  “A zoo is where lots of animals from all over the world are kept.  It’s uh.. similar to the Human Zoo I guess, but.. humans aren’t locked up in there, just wild animals like tigers, elephants, monkeys, they’re really neat!”
