Your last adventure with Steven happened yesterday and not much has happened since then. Though you were part of the Crystal Gems before, its nice that all of them actually see you as an equal now.

Lapis has moved into the Beach House, which is beginning to cause an issue since with both you, her and now Steven's dad Greg who are all currently living with you due to Lapis breaking one of his legs.

S: So are you guys gonna uh... live here now?

>>Well are you?
>Why not?
>Yeah probably not, we might need to move

>>2755901
>>Yeah probably not, we might need to move

>>2755901

MOTHER BASE HERE WE COME!

>>2755901
>Yeah probably not, we might need to move
We need to make a list of places and their strategic value!

okay looks like we're getting our own place! Writing!

You stop and consider that for a second. Though you've hung around in Steven's house for a while it was mainly because you don't actually have a room to call your own like the other gems do. Keeping that in mind it might be a good idea to move out of Steven's place, especially if you and Lapis are going to be living together.

"Yeah it would probably get pretty crowded if we lived in here huh?"

L: But where would we go?

G: I might be able to help ya with that!

S: huh really dad?

G: Sure! They could always hang out at the Car Wash, I don't use that old office anyway. If that's not enough then there's an old family barn that I don't use anymore that they could maybe use!

S: Oh wow! Well you guys? Which sounds good?

>>Hmmmm

"Well the Car Wash sounds nice!"

G: Okay let me just uh, try and get myself over there.

With the assistance of you and Lapis Greg leads you both to the Car Wash.

G: Well Here it is!

The Car Wash is... unimpressive to say the least. It looks run down and it seems that it hasn't seen use in who knows how many years.

G: It ain't the best but the office on the inside is actually pretty roomy! What do you think?

>>What do you think?
>This is perfect!
>...Can we see the barn instead?

>>2756083

We can easily fortify this! Plus Lapis has easy access to water!

"This is Perfect!"

Considering where you used to live with the other Rubies you were used to cramped spaces. Plus, there's nothing saying you can't fortify it yourself!

L: Yeah, this is good I guess.

You can tell Lapis is agreeing for your sake and you appreciate that.

G: Well by all means! Step inside and make yourself at home!

You step inside and despite the outside seeming run down, the inside is rather nice! A little dusty but that's probably because of misuse.

"I think I'm gonna like it here!"

L: You know what? Me too

>>Okay guys so let's talk about something for a second. The following episodes are relatively mundane and don't really serve the purpose of the overall story so I'm gonna ask

>Do you want to go through the other episodes as normal after House Guest which will take up the remainder of the thread
or
>Or do you want to skip certain episodes and only take part in the ones that are at least somewhat important, these include Lion 3, Alone Together, Warp Tour ect.

>>2756186

>>2756187
Actually I'll switch to option 3.

>>2756187
Third option, the fillers are kind of a mixed bag. In the first season at least.

>>2756187
This

>>2756187
Third option

Okay so it looks like you guys want Ruby and Lapis to have their own filler while Steven and the gems have theirs. Got it, now that that's decided, what do you want Ruby and Lapis to do?

or

>Do their own thing (This could involve anything)

>>2756231

Clean and fortify the wash
Find and listen to some of Greg's music
Explore the town
Visit Connie

Here's a couple of things we could do.

>>2756231
>>Do their own thing (This could involve anything)
We should get to know the human cast, most of them are cool.

>>2756232
>>2756237
>>2756239
Okay that sounds good! However, I'm gonna have to end this session a little early to plan everything out and then we get started tommorow!

Ask the usual questions and stuff as you please!

>>2756268
Anybody else want to pick up an instrument at some point? I think playing a bass would be fun.

>>2756283
I want something sillier. A kazoo would be fun. A harmonica would be good too.

>>2756283
I think a violin would be nice.

>>2756302
I'll meet you halfway with a cello. I'd just like that to be our thing with Lapis and maybe Greg. Instead of art at the barn we have jam sessions at the wash.

>>2756283
>>2756299
What ever the instrument we pick is it needs to be something that won't have us go into flame mode on acident so drums are definetly out.

>>2756299
Actually a harmonica would be pretty cool and it's definitely something Greg would have laying around too.

>>2756395
>not wanting to set things on fire

>>2756431
I mean i'm fine with it but we need to keep our home for us and Lazuli

>>2756231
>>Do their own thing (This could involve anything)

>>2756454
It'll be fine, Lapis can put out any fires we start.

>>2756454
That why we play in the carwash itself. The acoustics are better and Greg can flip a switch to put us out.

So are we starting a band? CAN WE CALL OURSELVES HOT TOT AND THE LIQUID ANGEL?!

>>2756268
Also I'd love a thing where we get to know Lapis better, and try to get her into stuff. And just constantly be amazed by her. "OMIGOSH you can fly you're so cool!" "OH wow you're so tall Lapis, me and Steven can't even reach the cookie jar when we stand on each others shoulders!" "Oh wowie Lapis, you look so pretty in that dress!"

>>2756488
Oh gosh, you're getting me excited for fusing with Lapis!

>>2756488
I am always 110% behind peppy Ruby. As for band names that's a pretty good one though instead of liquid angel, why not steala little from canon Greg and have her be there water witch?

>>2756283
That's up to you, Id be down though

>>2756299
Also good

>>2756302
yup

>>2756304
those would be fun to write

>>2756488
I'd 100 percent be down for this

Shit I wasn't really plannin' on shippin' our cute little Ruby with anyone, but I like the idea of her and Lapis.
It's sort of like Ruby and Sapphire, except better because Lapis is taller and can reach high object.

>>2756671
She also isn't as bitchy and hung up on future vision.

>>2756690

And we can see her feet.

>>2756699
And she has two eyes.

>>2756711
And two boobies.
*GASP!*
We can call them Ruby's Boobies!

>>2756671
What fusion power would we get? I think it'll be plasma, since plasma is a flowy-er kind of fire (aka more water like) and it works as a good parallel to hot and cold making electricty, just like water/fire and hot/cold being good parallels. Also plasma is free flowing electric particles (I think)

>>2756749
Someone suggested that they would have some storm powers but plasma is interesting for sure.

go episodes and between episodes doing character interaction slice of life exploring having fun

Let's throw out some episode ideas for Ruby and Lapis
>Ruby and Lapis visit the boardwalk, promptly get banned from it.
>Ruby and Lapis try helping Steven's dad at the car wash, end up in a high speed car chase with the police
>Ruby and Lapis explore the haunted lighthouse, meet with the LIghthouse Gem Monster
>Go-Karting with Ruby and Lapis! Can these two defeat Onion and his wheels of fury? Probably not.
>Lapis takes Ruby flying, accidentally drops her in the ocean, and we have a fun little adventure with Ruby exploring the bottom of the ocean.

>>2757141
>Ruby and Lapis explore the haunted lighthouse, meet with the LIghthouse Gem Monster
We can recruit! Plus I'm sure we could get into hijinks with the warp pad.

>>2757141
>>Go-Karting with Ruby and Lapis! Can these two defeat Onion and his wheels of fury? Probably not.
I want to argue that we could, but it's fucking onion. No way we'd best him, he's an absolute mad lad

>>2758042
She gets impeached because fortifying the town against outside attack wasn't what the citizens thought she meant when she talked about upgrades to infrastructure.

>>2758042
Surprisingly the promised "largest water slide I can build" was a rousing sucess, in part to its popularity with locals and tourists but also because it broke the world record after Ruby and Lapis (and maybe Peridot if she's here by then) got it in their heads that anything humans can overdo gems can overdo better

>>2756268
How's the planning coming along Deku?

>>2758740
pretty good, I've also been playing Earthbound and I'm getting some ideas for a non canonical special way down the line. We should have a thread later today probably gonna start at 6 o clock

You and Lapis have been looking around the space inside of the office that Greg left you. While there's definitely enough space for the two of you, its definitely missing something, maybe you should bring it up with Lapis.

"So Lapis now that we have our own place to live, maybe we can try fixing it up a bit!"

L: What do you mean?

"Well we should try fixing this place up! Fortifying it!"

L: Uh sure okay, but how would we do that?

>>Well, you could
>Try and ask the gems and Greg where to find some materials
>Head out onto the warp pad and look for some yourselves

>>2758778
Which timezone?

>>2758918
>Head out onto the warp pad and look for some yourselves
Well fuck, it's mine apparently.

>>2758918
>>Head out onto the warp pad and look for some yourselves

>>2758918

Lapis was always stuck maybe having a tour around the pad will get her to know the places better. And eventualy we will relax a bit.

>implying Ruby can relax.

>>2758935
>implying Ruby isn't in a state of constant relaxation

Looks like we're going a Warp Tour! Writing!

>>2758952
It's like a date

>>2758958
It would be... if Lapis or Ruby knew what that even was

"I have an idea! Why don't we get on the warp pad and start heading out looking for some materials!"

L: Warp Pad? Man I haven't used of of those in years..

"No Problem! I'll be able to help you, it's easy!"

You quickly grab Lapis' hand and head to the Beach House, outside Steven and Greg are playing musical instruments of some kind. You two reach the warp and pad and Lapis turns to you

L: So what exactly should we try and get?

>>Well?
>Some wood to expand the area
>Some sort of metal to fortify the area

>>2758972
>Some sort of metal to fortify the area
Wood is way too flammable for Ruby.

>>2758985
>>2758995
>>2759001
Looks like we're gonna go looking for metal! Writing!

You decide that you should go out and find some metal to better fortify the inside of your new abode.

You and Lapis begin warping across various different warp pad, trying to find some sort of place that could find you iron deposits, or even a junkyard of some sort that could house a lot of metal.

At first you can't find any so you and Lapis simply have fun seeing what all the different Earth locales have to offer. Eventually you both get to some sort of scrapyard on Earth.

"This looks like a great place to look for stuff!"

Lapis doesn't seem too enthused

L: Are you sure this is the only place we can find metal?

"Unless we want start digging holes in the ground they are"

L: Well alright

Not in a scrapyard you haven't

You and Lapis rummage through the garbage and manage to grab a sizable amount of metal that could serve you well in fortifying your home. Plus, with the assistance of Lapis you are able to remove all of the grabage water residue off of all of the pieces, before you begin to carry it back you hear a rumbling nearby

"Uh Lapis do you hear that?"

The rumbling gets louder and is now accompanied by a low growling sound.

L: Yeah, what is that?

Suddenly with a roar, a beast jumps out at you from the garbage!

L: Wow, that's not very threatening

"Well regardless we have to take it out!"

>>2759192
Considering the 1 was rolled first you saved us from absolutely embarrassing ourselves in front of Lapis.

You ready your gauntlet again and you race towards the monster and punch it again, setting your hand aflame! With that the monster gets sent back and poofs into a gem. You pick it up in your hand and hold it.

L: Well that was unexpected

You nod in agreement staring at the gem. This monster seemed similar to the other one that fought you and Steven back at the temple when you first joined the Crystal Gems. Maybe this is something you'll have to ask them about later. You and Lapis take the warp pad back home and step out before being quickly pushed to the side by Greg holding some sort of whistle in hand.

G: Scuse me you guys! I gotta apologize to my son!

L: "...what was that about?"

"No idea, not sure where Greg would find a sun, or why he would need to apologize to it"

L: Well whatever, lets head back to that wash and start getting to work!

You and Lapis head back to the Car Wash and set all the metal down on the floor nearby.

L: So how are we gonna go about this?

>>You could
>Try and find somewhere to put the metal and then try to melt it down yourself?
>Try and grab the metal pieces and weld them together

>>2759192
Bro still better then a one and besides this way Lapis also gets to be part of the fun, of punching stuff, too.

>>2759197
>Try and find somewhere to put the metal and then try to melt it down yourself?

>>2759197
>Try and grab the metal pieces and weld them together
If only we had Bismuth.

>>2759197
>Try and grab the metal pieces and weld them together

We don't have anything to mold the metal we could melt it into the extructure or coat a wal in a sheet of metal. But if what we want is to re-inforce the estructure or build more support collums this seems like the better idea.

>>2759207
If only bro.

>>2759197
>>Try and find somewhere to put the metal and then try to melt it down yourself?

>>2759197
>Try and grab the metal pieces and weld them together
I guess being mediocre is better than embarrassing ourselves.

>>2759215
We don't even have a place to put the metal and mold it. Not like we or the gems have a forge somewhere

>>2759224
Well, yeah. That's why I didn't vote to melt it.

>>2759197
>>Try and grab the metal pieces and weld them together

>>2759224
The vote says we can find somewhere to melt it. We'll probably have to roll twice in that case but the results might be better. Just putting a bunch of junk together is gonna look ugly.

It looks like we're gonna try and weld the metal pieces together our self. Let's see how good we do

It looks like a 13! not too bad! Writing!

>>2759285
Is Lapis going to help too? She can cut it with high pressure water.

>>2759289
yeah she's gonna help don't worry

You and Lapis then begin the process of shaping and cutting these pieces of metal. Lapis is able to use her water to crush and hold together separated the pieces of metal. As Lapis holds the pieces, you reach out your hand and set it on fire. You then place your hand on the different pieces and melt them together very roughly. Some of the metal melts off when you try to do so but it stays relatively solid. As soon as you two are done you have 4 large pieces of sheet metal left, enough to make another room.

L: Well this seems like it should be alright.

"Yeah! Where do you think we should put this stuff?"

L: Well we could try making an extension to our base?

"Or maybe we could add the metal to the inside of the room! for extra fortification!"

L: That could work too, what do you wanna do?

>>We should

An extra room is meaningless if it's not defensible!

>>2759329

>>2759329
>Fortify the existing room

We lack the means to create sturdy stone walls with good foundations, and scrap metal walls are only good for keeping pests out. Better to fortify what already exists.

>>2759329
>Fortify the existing room
It's only the two of us so we don't need to worry about expansion yet

>>2759329
>Fortify the existing room

Okay we're gonna fortify the existing room! Writing!

We should build a helipad for Ruby's ship on the carwash.

>>2759381
Better idea, just turn the whole carwash into a ship.

>>2759381
Nah the ship ia busted friend We jumped out of it because otherwise we would have crash landed and shattered our gem. Intead we just jumped from a high altitude face first with our gem against the floor.

>>2759387
A better, better idea. Make the carwash be a good avenue of money, by improving the work speed and the costumer service. People still use that right?

>>2759395
Yeah. And then we hold out for that sweet, sweet royalty check and then bust out the champagne and nutter butters!

You and Lapis decide to fortify the existing room in the car wash already. You both take the metal and melt it to the outer part of the Room. Even though you might not feel extreme heat, You leave space for the Air conditioning vents. Who knows if Steven would wanna come hang out right?

You and Lapis stand back and admire your handiwork content with how it looks

>Your base is now fortified! This means it's more protected from any potential attacks!

"Well I'd say that's a hard days work done!"

L: I think so too, oh hey! Do you still have that gem with you?

"Oh yeah!"

You quickly run inside and grab it from the table you had it on. You can't tell what type of gem it is but that's not important, what's important is making sure that it doesn't crack or worse by accident

"Maybe we should ask the gems what to do with it?"

L: Oh yeah that sounds like a great idea

"Oh cmon Lapis, give them a chance, I know you and them didn't really get along well on your first meeting but they're good gems!"

L: Okay fine but are you sure you don't wanna try for yourself? Like how you tried to impress them by talking to me?

Huh, she brings up a good point. I mean you did see the gems create bubbles to hold gems.

>>So what do you do?
>Go ask the gems for help

>>2759405

Lapis and Ruby become Its a Wash employees. Lapis washes, Ruby dries. Big boost to business for people curious about aliens working at a car wash. Greg pays Lapis and Ruby for the job without being any worse off himself. Ruby and Lapis start spending money on dumb stuff because the idea of money is funny to them.

>>2759430
>yfw they literally buy 100 whoopie cushions and it becomes a serious drug problem for Lapis.

Okay it looks like we're gonna go to the gems and ask for help!. Writing!

>>2759439
Pearl's gonna' be maaaaaaaad.

You decide that you want to go and ask the gems what to do about the gem held in the bubble. You beckon Lapis and the two of you head over to the House laid by the temple. As you step inside you see Greg begin to walk out.

G: Well I'll see you guys around! Oh! Uh Ruby and Lapis right?

L: yeah, sorry about breaking your leg

G: eh Steven made it better, don't worry to much.

You quickly run past to the gems and show them the gem in your hands

"Guys, while me and Lapis were out finding scrap metal we stopped a gem monster!"

G: Good job Ruby

Garnet says with a smile

"Well thanks but what do I do with it?"

S: Put it in a bubble!

"A bubble?"

S: Yeah! remember when the gem put you in one when you got here?

Oh that's right

"Well how do I do that?"

P: Well, to bubble a gem you need to think of somewhere you call home and then the bubble will automatically form and send it there

You stop and think, did you really have a home? Well there was the wash, Greg gave it to you, it was where you and Lapis lived, and now you can feel happy. Knowing that all you need to do is head back to that wash to see Lapis and have somewhere to call your own is nice.

Just as you think that, a bubble forms over the gem

S: See! You did it!

With a smile you tap the bubble, sending it all the way back to the office room, where it stay floating.

>>2759450
Tell us, when Pearl isn't mad about something?

And that's it for this session!

As usual questions, comment, critique ect. are supported and appreciated

>>2759467
How much does Lapis like us? Like on a scale of Pearl to Steven.

>>2759473
Lapis likes us as as much as Steven does, we did help free her from the mirror and warned her about Homeworld so

Is there another reason Pearl doesn't like us, or is it just the Homeworld stuff?

>>2759481
she stopped hating us last thread?

>>2759481
I feel like she felt sufficiently chastised after the Lapis incident. Whatever lingering negative bias she has, she at least recognizes it for what it is, and will be struggling against it.

>>2759464
>Lapis is our home

>>2759488
Sorry sorry, I a dingus.
>>2759490
I need to put my Pearl Prejudices aside, it's affecting my memory.
>>2759491
>yfw bubbled-gem-buttlplug-string

>>2759499
Every time you put your Pearl Prejudices aside, you get a Pearl Point. Get enough Pearl Points to buy in-game bonuses!

>>2759509
Can I exchange them for cute little /u/ moments between Ruby and Lapis?

>>2759520
That sounds like an in-game bonus, but that's up to DekuQM.

Other Pearlath's blessings:
3 points - +5000 Starting Money
3 points - Bonus Skills: Gain +2 to all skills from your Class
4 points - Experienced Ship Captain: Start as an Expert rank Captain.
5 points - Fine Equipment
5 points - Unique Item Vendor
8 points - Upgraded Ship Sails
12 points - Start at Level 4
12 points - Explored World Map
15 points - +50,000 Starting Money
15 points - Bonus Attributes (Player Only): Begin the game with a +2 bonus to all stats

>>2759488
Are any of the gems curious as to why Ruby is dressed so differently than other rubies that they’ve seen, or are they chalking that up to being out of the loop for so long?

>>2759527
woah let's slow down

>>2759530
Yeah they just assume they're out of the loop.

Have we settled on an outfit for Ruby yet? I've been picturing her like K.O. in my mind. In outfit and hair at least.

Hope nobody minds but I commissioned some art for our Ruby. If nobody likes it fine, just thought this quest deserved some stuff. Should be ready soon.

>>2759572
Deku drew this, but we should definitely have Kamina glasses.

>>2759576
We can probably create them, like Garnet does, or add them to our outfit next time we respawn.

Wait, our Gem's on our belly right?

>>2759585
Yeah, it was voted for in the second thread.

>>2759576
I like it over all, but maybe a closed jacket instead of buttons, since ruby is still a grunt, elite or not. Just feels a bit too classy for a foot soldier. As for kamina glasses, I'm fine with the goggles as is. Maybe either get kamina glasses after getting poofed or say them for a fusion to add to the cool factor.

>>2759704
I think you're overestimating buttons, I think it's pretty basic.

>>2759717
THAT'S FUCKING IT!
LET'S CALL HER BUTTONS!

>>2759782
I'd rather wait until we meet o.g. Ruby to decide a name.

>>2759576
I'm not really digging this look, how about something like this.

>Shoulderpads
>Armbands
>Legbands
>Short Tanktop (it leaves space for the gem)
>Ninja Turtle-like bandanna (More akin to Garnet!Ruby than regular Rubies but with a bit of our own style)
>Bare feet (Like Lapis)

More warrior-like and less formal. A more imposing look in my opinion.

>>2759827
Go full meme, and do a cross between a Homeworld uniform and a MGS Sneaking Suit

>>2759876
Oh fuck, I absolutely want this.

>>2759827
>>2759876
>>2759880
Well its supposed to be formal because Ruby was top of the class for Rubies. But if we do ever reform, then I'll take into account all of these suggestions

File: Sneaking Suit.jpg (136 KB, 757x854)

>>2759880
Following up on the sneaking suit idea. Less detailed to fit the art style, probably ditching the rigging, and an opening for Ruby's belly button gem. Diamonds on the shoulders and maybe chest. Colors likely being grey and black, with highlights corresponding to our Diamond's color (Was that ever specified? If its Blue or White, Ruby's lack of self awareness regarding her skills could be chalked up to them being less involved in the command structure and thus less acknowledgement).

As for her earth outfit, next time she regenerates, or perhaps just next time the Crystal Gem's outfits come to mind, I imagine her going a bit overboard, both in terms of trying out human fashion and working in a star motif. Maybe a yellow sun dress with a star cut out for her ruby, like a much less formal Rose Quartz. Bonus: Sun Hat.

I like the mental image of the Ruby squads showing up on earth looking for Jasper only to find our Ruby casual and carefree, in contrast to their much mythologized image of her.

>>2760361
I can dig the sneaking suit but not the sundress. I could see Ruby getting actual clothes and liking them though.

Maybe she could have a like jean shorts and some kind of tanktop or muscle shirt? Kinda like Stevens work out outfit, those would be nice casual clothes

>>2760581
I could see it. Maybe a short skirt and jacket combo as well.

Running tonight Deku?

>>2760737
Considering I just aced my final exam yeah probably

>>2760861
Congrats! I should be able to make it for the full session too.

>>2760871
We'll probably start sometime after 6:30
So I can eat dinner first

also gotta add my trip back

Hey guys we're about to start but before I place the first post Let me ask, would you guys be okay with me rolling before combat rolls so you guys have some sort of goal to reach with the dice rolls and not just roll pointlessly

>>2761095
If you mean you roll, then we have to roll to beat that then sure for combat. Things like welding and such should just be a dc which you can choose to share or not.

>>2761095
Sounds good for me.

>>2761095
I'd be fine with it

>>2761098
yeah that's what I mean, the other stuff would stay the same

>>2761103
okay cool

>>2761105
alright then here we go

Yesterday you and Lapis managed to find some materials and fortified your new home. It took some time to convince Greg that what you did was helpful, but he seemed to just accept it and move on. Now the both of you are simply sitting in your new abode pondering about what to do today. Steven and Pearl went somewhere with Greg, something about building a ship. That left Garnet and Amethyst to hang out with, unless of course, you two want to do something together?

>>Well
>Find something to do together
>Hang out with one of the gems (if so which one)

>>2761125
>>Hang out with one of the gems (Amethyst)
Personal favorite of mine.

>>2761125
>Find something to do together
Yesterday we did our thing. Let's ask what Lapis wants to do. If she can't think of anything could we hang out with Connie?

>>2761125
Supporting this >>2761137

Okay it looks like we're gonna ask Lapis what she wants to do, Writing!

"Hey Lapis, do you want to do something today?"

L: Huh? What do you mean?

"Well yesterday I realized that we kind of just did what I wanted to do, we never did what you wanted to do"

L: Well, I've never really wanted to do something other than what I was made to do. I'm kind of getting used to this free will stuff.

You simply nod and smile sadly. This was one of the things you hated most back on Homeworld, gem would do nothing but what they were intended to do for their entire existence.

L: Well maybe we can go for a flight?

"A flight?"

L: Yeah i haven't really had a chance to spread my wings for a while

"Well okay!"

L: Anywhere you wanna go? Or do you wanna just leave it me?

>Go somewhere(where? Try and keep it narrow Ruby is a newcomer to Earth)
>Let Lapis fly and take you somewhere random

While Ruby carefully takes note of landmarks and the sun's position so they can get home if they need to.

Okay so Lapis is taking us somewhere random! Writing!

>>2761203
All aboard!

"Why don't you just take me anywhere! I know the Earth as much as you do!"

L: Well, okay

The two of you step outside and Lapis opens up her wings.

L: There is somewhere I'd like to go. Hop on!

You jump on to Lapis' back and grab hold.

L: Okay you ready?

You nod in affirmation. Lapis then jumps into the air and begins to fly. You two soar across the sky the wind rushing through your hair. You look out into the horizon smiling wide at how beautiful it is. Lapis looks up at you and laughs lightly to herself. She then flips herself in the air spinning both of you around.

"This is amazing Lapis!"

L: Yeah, the Earth is so big! I never really stopped to appreciate before!

You two continue to fly in relative silence, simply enjoying the view and nothing else, surely, really, just the view and the ocean, nothing else at all.

L: Oh we're here!

You look to what Lapis is talking about and see some sort of set of warp pads. You both land and Lapis stops to look around.

"What is this place?"

L: This is the galaxy warp, its where the gems found all those years ago

"Oh"

L: Yeah but that's not why we're here. This was the main hub for transportation during the early days so I'm gonna let you pick where to go

"Oh okay!"

>There are five different Warp pads which do you go on?
>1
>2
>3
>4
>5

>>2761272
>5

>>2761272
>4

Rolled 2 (1d5)

>>2761272
Time to let the dice decide!

Rolled 3 (1d5)

>>2761272
Mystery boxes are fun

Rolled 1 + 1 (1d4 + 1)

Okay since everyone picked a different number let me leave my choice up to luck too!

It looks like we're going through door number 2!

"Well uh, let's go through that warp!"

You and Lapis head to a warp pad and activate it.

You two end up in a mysterious place surrounded by Forest. It's dark and you can't really see the general area around you.

L: I mean hey they can't all be winners right?

You're about to respond but you see some sort of light poking through the trees. It doesn't seem to be moving, but it's strong enough to shine through to where you are.

L: What is that?

"I don't know"

>Let's check it out!
>Let's just explore the forest...

You quickly beckon Lapis towards the light in the distance. The both you make your way through the forest, seemingly much denser than you thought it to be.

L: Man do these trees ever end? Look all this stuff

"Don't worry Lapis! I'm sure we'll get there soon enough!"

The two of you walk towards the light until you eventually reach!... a brick wall

L: Well that was dissapointing

"Ah this is no big deal, let's just climb up the wall!"

With a burst of energy you begin to climb up the wall. You make it quite a few ways up before you see Lapis flying behind you with a slight smile on her face.

"Oh yeah, hehe"

You grab Lapis' hand and she flies you up until you reach the top of the wall. What you see astounds you. Bright lights as far as the eye can see. Huge buildings towering across the skyline.

L: Well Ruby I gotta say

"Yeah..."

L: I think I'm starting to see why the gems wanted to protect the earth...

And that's the last post of the night! You know the deal comment, critique, criticism, compliment all the C's!

>>2761391
Thanks for the run Deku!
For compliments, I gotta say that I do appreciate how quick you respond and how fast the updates come.
For comments, I absolutely adore Lapis and Ruby's interactions. Looking forward to more in the future! Ruby forgetting that Lapis can fly was adorable
For criticism, Formatting! Unless it's not something you want to do, in which case I'll shut up about it.

All in all a great session! Looking forward to the next.

>>2761391
Thanks for running!
I suck at criticism, but I'm really enjoying things so far and can't wait to see how much more we can change!

So there's obviously no thread today but if you guys any questions, current thoughts and stuff I'll answer and explain

>>2764069
What's the next episode we're in? Regardless of whether we participate in it or not.

Also is there anyone looking to hang out with us? It's nice when other characters have their own agendas.

>>2764079
Currently we're in Space Race, the next episode we'll be in is Secret Team

Also guys would you be cool with me potentially doing omakes down the line based around the promo art of all the gems being a japanese high school?

>>2764120
Uh, YES! Do that, do that now.
>>2764069
Does Buttons(our Ruby, I love that name), know that even love can blossom on the battlefield?

>>2764120
I'm assuming it's with Ruby involved right? As long as it doesn't take up session time then sure.

How does Greg feel about his guests currently? How do the gems feel about their latest additions?

>>2764120
Sure I'd be cool with that

>>2764156
I'll accept red or pepper (particularly pepper) but while buttons would be a good name, it's based on part of us that changes the most. Plus bone of this matters until Garnet reveals that she's a fusion.

>>2764158
>How does Greg feel about his guests currently
Doesn't matter, because when we're done with him, he'll see us as the closest friend he's got. We will friend this man, we will friend them all

>>2764156
Good to know and I don't think Pepper/Buttons/Red/Ruby knows what love is... she needs someone to show her

>>2764158
Of course ruby would be involved she would be the mc after all. Also omakes would be their own threads not in the middle of a session.

Greg thinks Ruby and Lapis are good, while he's a little wary of Lapis, he saw that Ruby tried to help stop the fighting and that's okay in his book.

All of the gems are pretty cool with Ruby after that latest showing. They're wary of Lapis but are tolerating her for Steven and now your sake

>>2764162

I'm asking for a character perspective. We will friend the shit out of Greg. I've been working the angles the whole time for one specific thing. We will be the ultimate wingman.

>>2764233
I knew my faith was well placed Deku.

Also as if Greg wasn't anymore based, in Save the Light he makes a Tenacious D reference

>>2764325
Oh cool. I didn't even know that was out yet.

Another FYI is that there's a Steven universe rhythm game that has character customization and you can be a Ruby in it. Could probably get a few decent outfit options from it.

>>2764325
Oh, I was meaning to ask about that, will you include the games canon in the quest? Fighting Hessonite would make a good arc.

>>2764361
I had that, the outfits were lacking but i'll see if i can grab it and unlock all of the stuff again for Ruby

>>2764381
Game canon will absolutely be in the quest. It bothers me that the show ignores it to begin with. So There will for sure be attack and save the light arcs

>>2764198
...Why does greg have such a grabalbe ass?

>>2764325
>Save the Light he makes a Tenacious D reference
That's pretty cool actually, I haven't played the game but I know that greg is apparently a playable character that can get into fights which is pretty sick. On a related note, how good is the game itself?

>>2764421
I personally think it's very good, I think the Star point system is a little flawed but all the fusion attacks, combo attacks, music, and presentation make up for it. Overall its the best paper mario game we've gotten in years and it's not even on a Nintendo system

>>2764426
Yo I forget, does Greg already know about our Ruby yet? Will he confuse her with the original Ruby if not? Maybe we can get let in on some Secrets then, eh?

Also try the formatting thing I posted above you monster

>>2764602
He knows

Guys, there's something we haven't planned yet. Singing! What songs we should sing when we go through a character arc? I'm no compositor so here's some of my personal music selection that I think would fit our character.
Ruby fights Jasper
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiLIMwVYwIw
Ruby escapes Homeworld
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwHzM2k_ODI

>>2764713
>fighting Jasper
>anything besides "Rules of Nature"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N3472Q6kvg0

>>2764426
I also loved the game. For me, its weaknesses were its bugs and its short length, but the biggest highlight for me was how much fun the combat felt. Even when fighting enemies lower level than you, mashing attack wasn't the best or fastest option.

>>2764829
Perfect pick. I'd like to think that when Ruby gets angry it's the opposite of Garnet Ruby. Instead of freaking out it's a calm fury while she dismantles the enemy.
