#shen yuan is a malachite with copper alloy

[voidlesscreator]

SVSSS idea #2

In PIDW, Airplane had taken inspiration from Steven Universe and Land of the Lustrous and added gem people into the novel, near to the end of the novel so there wasn't much to learn about them- merely a throwaway paragraph of their creation hidden in 5 chapters of papapa.

So Shen Yuan was surprised when he wakes up with bubble-like green crystal skin and copper seeping from his 'skin'.

Shen Yuan groaned as he blearily opened his eyes and pushed himself up from the silky bed he was laying on. He sat there for a few moments, sleep clouding his head in a pleasant cotton feeling from a good nights sleep-

wait a minute...

DIDN'T HE DIE?!?!

Hands fly up from where they were fisted in blankets to his throat- he was sure he had been choking on a too-big piece of steamed bun while raging about the final chapter of that damned novel!

CLINK

Clink? Shen Yuan pulled his hands from his throat at the sound, only to see his hands no longer had their typical sickly pale tone, nor the fleshy feel they were supposed to have.

No, instead his hands were a deep green in colour, with bubble-like bands of other shades of green while also having a copper colour in some of the bands. It wasn't just his hands either, it was all the way up his arms and his entire body from what he could tell from a single glance over-

wait- why is he build like a ken doll-

The door to the room creaks open before Shen Yuan's thoughts could run off on their own, revealing an old man [in the sense that anyone above 45 was old in Shen Yuan's eyes as a 19 year old] and a person.... that he honestly couldn't tell the gender of.

"Ah, you're awake." The person spoke first, a clipboard in their hands as they stepped into the room with the old man, walking over to Shen Yuan and pulling out a stool from under the bed. "Good morning, my name is Moisannite. You are in the medical compound of the Lustrous Sect."

As the person spoke, they busied themself by reaching into a desk drawer by the bed and pulling out what looked to be a tin, kind of like the foundations that his meimei used to put on for her make up. Moisannite soon started brushing whatever was in the tin onto his arms, a pigment sticking to his body and covering him with a pale skin-like colour.

The old man who had also entered the room had sat himself down on the opposite side of the bed. Shen Yuan's attention was brought to him when he started speaking, "You must be very confused." He sounded kind, so he probably wasn't some xianxia villain or something like that.

"Let's start from the beginning, shall we?"

Might add more to this at some point in the future, who knows.
