    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: auto; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 11px; color: white;][sub]Was it really necessary for him to help Blue Diamond? Didn't she have her own great technicians? Jet had other work to take care of. But his Diamond had told him to help so he'd comply. His white matriarch's sister Gem was at the new 'Earth' colony, overseeing the production of the colony. He was simply sent to help Blue Diamond's technicians scout out areas set for Kindergardens and figure out if the drills would have to be modified for the planet. To help him, his Diamond had sent a Pearl with him.
    Now, Jet was very gracious and thankful, but he tried to insist on going without one. He didn't need a fanciful Pearl. He was already a joke among other Jets, his strong, pudgy, laborer kin spitting insults at him when he happened to pass. It was the same with other technicians. The only Gem he seemed to matter to was his Diamond. He was pretty sure that was also the reason nobody tried to physically attack him. They would be instantly shattered if White Diamond heard.
    Yet here he was, a Tahitian Pearl at his side. The two hadn't said a word to each other as Jet navigated the ship towards the Earth colony. As they landed he finally turned back to the other Gem. "Blue Diamond is supposed to brief us shortly so we have to hurry. Keep close to me," he said in a surprisingly kind and soft tone. It was a while before the two were alone. They were back on the ship, but had no intention of leaving. Jet was looking over different plans for Kindergarden canyon builds Blue Diamond's technicians and architects drew up. "Tahitian Pearl!" he suddenly called and down the hallway behind him. "Come here for a moment!"
    When the Pearl did arrive he smiled softly before gesturing to the papers scattering the table. "They created some different images. Which one do you like best?" he asked. Some drawings had shelf-like outcroppings from the walls and others were just V-shaped creations that looking like little divots.

    Tahitian Pearl


    The smaller than average pearl was truly unsure of why she had been sent with a jet. She belonged to Commander Emerald, under Yellow Diamond's court at the moment, but it wasn't uncommon for her to be shared by all of the diamonds' commanders at this point. Resources had been cut partially due to this 'rebellion' happening on the planet earth, but nothing serious at this point. The first thing that strikes her as odd was the fact that the two were so close together in rank, at least for their gem type, but this jet was different, as she had been informed; just like her.
    This particular pearl was a different model, a shorter model. Most pearls were tall and lanky, but she was not. Shorter pearls were made for some lower classes of gems and as secondary servants to higher ups if requested; not many existed. However, Commander Emerald did not seem to care, as the high-positioned leader picked her anyway. Why she hasn't been smashed for defect was news to Tahitian.
    These thoughts raked at the short gem's mind since the ship took off, and stopped only when her temporary master called out to her.
    "A-alright.." the pearl responded.
    Another problem with shorter pearls was a defect in their programming: vocal stumps. Most weren't bad, just a few slip ups was all, and most the time not in nervousness or pressure. Like a broken record, some repeated themselves; and Tanitian's stump was in both in programming and out of anxiety, which likely made it worse. Tahitian Pearl was awfully quiet the whole trip, and meeting, glad she didn't have to speak for her new commander much. Even with Emerald, she was happy to not speak than say something stupid, or worse, trip up, physically or verbally.
    When name was called again, the pearl rushed to the back room, trying to keep her breath in check. She looked at the papers with curious eyes, not having seen images as such before.
    "D-do you really want my input?" Tahitian asked shyly, straightening her skirt, "I'm not too q-qualified for something like this.."
    Again she looked down at the papers, or rather up, as the gem had to be on her tippy-toes in order to see.

    Very handsome. I'm currently working on Tahitian's new outfit for the rebellion timeline, Commander Emerald (both of which just need to be drawn on clear paper), and the design of Black Opal. It's not straining if you're wondering.. Just a usual day for me! I'm just getting off an art block and ready to work.
    Also, yeah, Black Opal would probably be they/them since the gender of the two are opposite.

    He shrugged a little at her excuse. "I don't see how that would matter," he said. He walked around the table so he faced the much smaller Gem. "None of these designs are particlarly flawed... I just don't know which to choose. Out of all of them, the divot is the worst. But there isn't a definitive best either..." He shook his head as he sighed and ran a hand through his hair beneath his hat. He knew his new Pearl was different than the rest. He didn't know whether it was to make him feel less alienated or just as a little tessibg joke by his Diamond.

    Tahitian Pearl


    Tahitian stared at the divot designs and the shelving designs, voicing her immediate thoughts.
    "Well.. If you think I m-might have an idea.."
    She placed her feet flat on the floor before stepping back on her toes to answer his question.
    "The outcroppings will w-waste more space for gems.. But the divot could cause.. Unnecessary c-cracks from those higher in the canyons.."

    also, you're such a hard worker! i bet they'll turn out beautifully! i can barely draw stick figures, though i do try.




    He nodded as she gave her inout. Picking up the few divot and shelf ideas, he discarded them to a crate. The Gem sighed as he looked over the remaining designs. Most were simple sheer drop designs with a path at the bottom. There was a completely underground design, but after further examination, Jet got rid of that one too. The technician sighed and looked at the two designs left. "One of these are smooth faced rock on the sides. While it would take less time to build, it would require changes to the drills," he said and pointed to one draft. "This one has a jagged cliffside but would take more time to build. The upsde would be that we didn't have to change the drill designs..." After a moment or so, he looked to Tahitian Pearl for her input and possible deciding vote.

    Tahitian Pearl


    The Pearl looked over the designs as best she could from her position, thinking.
    "I-if the drills have already arrived, I would go for the second.."
    She sighed, again putting her feet flat on the floor.
    "However it m-may prove too rough for emerging gems.."
    The smaller gem huffed, once more looking at the ideas.
    "This is really what you do? Seems like a load of broken shards!" the gem grumbled the last bit, squeaking as she realized what she did.
    "S-s-sorry.. I didn't mmmean to talk like that.. Oh cabochon I'll just.."
    Tahitian walked off, her arms flat on her sides. A bright green glow entered her cheeks as she stood in the bridge, standing straight like a soldier, but shivering as if it were freezing.

    The jet nodded and smiled. "Well, we already have the drills ready, and we've tested this design before, so it does work with creating Gems... So I guess it will be the second design!" he thought aloud. He was about to thank the Pearl but was taken back by her comment on his work. At first he wanted to snap at her but restrained himself and watched as she left. Sighing, he cleaned up his worktable. After a few minutes, Jet appeared on the bridge. "This is not what I usually do," he said and stood beside her. He towered over his poor Pearl. "Usually I am either creating new or checking up on White Diamond's personal ships, or I am conducting secret assignments she gives me."
    Jet had been staring at a random point yet he soon sighed and glanced down to Tahitian Pearl. "I am only here because Blue Diamond asked for my help specifically. Her technicians and architects, the Blue Sandstones, are bright, but not as accomplished as I am." He hoped talking to the Pearl would help her trust him a little more. He already liked her quite a bit. She was intelligent, though it bugged him slightly when she silenced herself. "Anyway..." he sighed. "You may always speak your mind around me, but I recommend that you do so only with me. You know how these aristocrats in Blue Diamond's court can be." The lean monochrome Gem smiled gently at Tahitian.

    Tahitian Pearl


    While Jet had been talking, the short pearl was sobering up, wiping a few stray tears from her eyes.
    "T-t-thank you.. You're so much nicer than everyone else.. a-and y' don't have to be.."
    Tahitian Pearl straightened her dress once more, smiling back at the Jet.
    "I'm s-sorry about my outburst.. I just.. wasn't sure how you would react... At least you f-figured out your architecture problem."

    The drawings for Emerald and War-time Tahitian are done, but need to be colored.
    And I'm STILL having trouble with Black Opal's head/face, The face I'm probably going to get soon, but the hair I am absolutely blank on. Ideas?

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: auto; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 11px; color: white;][sub]//mmm for the hair maybe try a hairstyle like Juvia's from Fairy Tail? Since Tahitian's in rounder while Jet's is more slicked back. Or if you're aiming for something shorter, maybe something like Pearl's hairtstyle? Just trying to think of something smooth yet kind of full/round. as for the hair color, depending on how the rest of Black Opal's coloring, maybe you could keep their hair dark but give them bright streaks of color in their hair? Or it could just be all streaks of color, like a rainbow? oh, oh i have an idea! depending on how much of a bamf black opal is, maybe something like [url=http://media.glamour.com/photos/56966e73eaefd309768decf2/master/w_743,c_limit/beauty-2014-05-kelly-osbourne-hair-shaved-main.jpg][u]this[/url]? then if we went with the partial colors idea, the streaks could be incorporated in by making every few braid-like bits a bright color. Or if we do the full-color idea, each bit could be a different color? idk i'm just spewing cuz im excited!!




    The dark Gem smiled kindly at her. [b]"Of course I have to be," he said. "All Gems deserve to be treated kindly and fairly." He took off his cap and ran a hand through his pitch hair. It was neatly slicked back and not a strand was out of place. Jet's eyes had wandered to the end of the hall until Tahitian spoke again. His eyes snapped back and a smirk appeared on his lips. He repositioned his cap and shook himself out. "Thank you for your help, Tahitian Pearl," he hummed and gave her a short bow. This was unheard of, bowing to a Pearl. But Jet didn't seem fazed in the slightest. Straightening himself out he bade her farewell and vanished into another part of the ship.




    When the sun rose, Jet was already in his workroom, gathering up plans into their cylindrical containers. "Tahitian Pearl!" he called. When she came in, he flashed her a slight smile before handing her one of the containers. "The othere will be expecting us shortly. We're going to be inspecting the canyon that we'll be modifying," he said quickly. He was slightly stressed from the call he recieved from White Diamond the day prior. If a rebel tries to stop us, do not hesitate to shatter the corrupted traitor. It was harsh, but he knew it was for the betterment of the colony.

    Tahitian Pearl


    The short pearl gave a small wave as Jet left, turning a different shade of green in the face. It felt very nice to have received a bow, though it also shook her.
    What would the Commander think of me? Of Jet?
    However much these thought haunted her, Tahitian couldn't stop the new feeling of confidence inside the pit of her being.


    Whenever she was alone, that rare occasion, Tahitian would practice such things as weapon summoning. Her weapon, a spear, was hard to remove from her gem on her lower back, but in today's mission, they might need it. Pearl was just twirling the greenish weapon around when Jet called her, which prompted it to disappeared before she entered the room, returning Jet's smile.
    "A-alright, I'm ready."

    Makes sense. Im super excited for it, and I'll take the picture into consideration!
    So much is happening in my life what with the drawings and design, multiple threads, and Renaissance Faire, which is the 31st, so I'm very busy.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: auto; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 11px; color: white;][sub]With one last light smile and the plans vanishing into his gem for safekeeping, he and Tahitian set off. The two were joined by the Blue Sandstones near the agora outside Blue Diamond's throne. The group then warped to a canyon. The canyon was small and had a raging river running through. It wasn't going to be as large or complex as the Kindergardens on Homeworld, but after the river was dammed and diverted, they would be able to start work and create a decently sized Kindergarden.
    Jet pulled the plans from his gem and went over it with the Sandstones. None of them questioned his choice of design. That would be stupid to question someone of a higher authority. They finished up and left the rest for the laborers to begin on the river. Jet heaved a sigh once he and Tahitian were left alone on the warp pad. "Would you like to do anything, Tahitian Pearl?" he asked politely, turning to her. "We have more time before we're supposed to return to the ship. Maybe we could see more of this planet?" He would comply to any of his Pearl's wishes, in reason of course.

    Tahitian Pearl


    Tahitian Pearl stood quietly, holding any cylinders that the jet had given her until they had reached the warp pad. She was suprised with his question.
    "Y-you want me to suggest something?.. A-are you sure?"
    The short gem knew from yesterday what hus answer would be, so she went ahead.
    "W-well.. From the ship I saw some indigenous plant life that looked lovely, b-but I'm not sure if there is a warp there."

Taking in her suggestion he nodded. "Well, we could go see other plant life. There was to be a warp pad that goes somewhere near a place such as a forest or meadow of sorts," he said brightly. He tapped his foot against the warp pad and it activated. In only a few moments they were on what seemed to be an island. "This place is called Mask Island, if I remember correctly," the high class Gem stated and stepped off the pad. "It has humongous geodes and crystal caves all over... It's quite beautiful." As they walked out to the beach there werr other Gems milling about, enjoying the island. It seemed to be a kind of resort. "What do you think, Tahitian Pearl?" he asked and looked down to her.

    Tahitian Pearl


    The short green pearl's eyes widened at the sight of Mask Island, everything bright and colorful. Keeping her cool, knowing other gems were around, Pearl spoke cautiously.
    "It's so p-pretty, the wildlife of the planet is so majestic.. Y-you didnt have to bring me here.. thank you!"
    Tahitian stood, jaw slightly opened as she took in the beautiful sights of the island resort.

    He chuckled softly at the Pearl's awe and wonder. Places like these seemed to lack the luster he'd seen. He'd been formed for, what, a thousand years now? There were resorts all over the galaxies. This one was just as bright and exotic. But he wouldn't ruin her fun. As they walked around, many of the Gems already there glanced strangely at them, but said nothing derogatory. "It is rather lively, I would agree," he said. His hands were settled behind his back as he walked. "Though it's a shame that most of it will be gone when the colony is finished..." Dark eyes flicked over the shoreline and the trees. "But the Diamonds want a resort and new Gems, and Earth is a perfect candidate."
    They lapsed into silence as they walked. Suddenly, there were exclaims from farther down the beach and Gems were scattering. Rebels! someone screeched. Jet's eyes widened as he spotted Gems pushing through and and having to poof a few others in the process. They all bore stars on their forms instead of the diamonds everyone else had. "Go back to the arena and alert Blue Diamond," he told Tahitian. He reached to his rectangular gem and pulled out a razor. But with a tap to his shoe, it turned into a full-fledged saber. Then he ran off along the beached towards the rebels.
    He immediately came face to face with what looked like some kind of Quartz. They towered over him but Jet quickly dispatched them. He may have been a technician, but that didn't mean he was unable to fight. He'd trained himself in his free time. The masculine Gem fought through many before a rebel grabbed him by the middle and crushed him into poofing. He wouldn't reform for a while.

    Tahitian Pearl


    Tahitian Pearl froze as gems started scattering, never having been in an actual fight. She wanted to run and help Jet, but knew she had little experience. Her next reaction was to run for the trees, searching for the warp pad amount the seemingly endless vegetation. The pearl's green color helped her hide for a little while as she snuck through the small forest, but soon enough, she was found once she stepped on the warp pad. It happened too fast, a larger gem caving in her chest and poofing Tahitian, her form was badly damaged.

    Jet didn't know how long he was poofed. A few days? Maybe a week? He chose a form identical to his old one, though his sash across his waist was just a tad lighter grey. Opening his eyes though, he expected to be on the beach. Instead, he opened his eyes to a room full of confused rebels. He yelped and scrambled back. "You're not Obsidian..." someone murmured. Jet stumbled into another Gem and he whipped around, only to see a large, pink femme. Bountiful pink spiral-like curls and a flowery dress. There was a star cutout around the gem on her stomach. "Rose Quartz..." he murmured and the leader of the rebellion took a step forward.
    He tried to scramble back again but only fell. Then something unexpected happened. Instead of being swamped by enemies, he was offered a pink hand. Slowly, he took it. Rose Quartz helped him back to his feet and he swallowed. "You're the leader of the rebellion," he said softly. The giant lady nodded and stepped around him towards her other troops. The army slipped out her way seamlessly. "Come with me, Jet," she called and the lanky Gem stumbled after her. He looked around to see other gems all laying out on pedestals as their comrades waited for them to reform. His eyes widened as he spotted a familiar one.
    "You grabbed my Pearl," he blurted and Rose turned. He pointed to the gem on the pedestal and she looked where. "Take it with you then," she replied easily. The other rebels in the room seemed to tense as he closed a long-fingered hand around the Tahitian Pearl. He held it close to his chest as he scampered after the leader of the rebellion. "I've got you, Tahitian..." he murmured to the dormant gem. Soon he and the leader came to a stop. Another Pearl was waiting, this one regarding him with a disgusted look, especially after spotting the gem in his hands. "Who are you?" she said coldly and Jet stepped back. "Jet," he replied and she raised an eyebrow.
    "You're supposed to be short. And stubbier. More muscled." He flinched a little at this and sighed. Jets were laborers usually. "I'm an experiment. I was given the path of a technician instead to see how I fared. A Black Sandstone was given my position." He swallowed. "She was corrupted under the strain of work." He didn't know why he included that bit. Maybe to seem stronger? He was a success after all. "I am White Diamond's personal technician." The Pearl frowned at the mention of his Diamond. "And that's your Pearl?" she scoffed and he looked down at the gem in his hands. He nodded. "Why is he still here, Rose? He's obviously an elitist," the Pearl said to the Quartz who was still studying Jet.
    "Ransom." This suddenly enraged Jet. He was just a ploy? For what? What else did they need? A bigger army? Probably. They were barely a fight already. Before he could voice these thoughts, the Pearl pulled a spear from her gem and pointed it to his chest. "What should we do with him now?" she asked and Jet squeaked, all his anger dissipating. He didn't want to be poofed again. It was uncomfortable. "Just keep an eye on him for now. I'll get someone to watch him full-time in a moment," Rose Quartz responded. The Pearl nodded and they both watched the leader of the rebellion go farther into the temple. Jet hoped Tahitian would reform soon. He didn't like being so along with this chilly Pearl.

    Tahitian Pearl


    Time, according to Tahitian, passed both slowly and within seconds, if it could be described that way. Everything was so confusing, as this was her first time being poofed, and frankly, she could have stayed in her gem forever. A torture chamber, and yet, paradise. But it would not stay that way for long.
    In the slim gem's hand's her green gem glowed softly, raising out of his hands and hovering a few feet from the ground. At first, the form of a normal pearl began to form, but it was squished forcefully into a smaller shape before features began appearing, only one previous form showing through the bright light. When fully formed, Pearl had changed since her last appearence, her clothing more simple and less revealing than pearls' usual outfit, but most could be said to look the same. She stood between the two tall gems, arma out in a defensive position, though she was shaking almost violently, as if expecting to be shattered instantly for her actions. Tahitian said nothing in fear of speaking out of tongue, and looks to be on the verge of tears, frightened.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: auto; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 11px; color: white;][sub]Both Jet and the rebel Pearl watched as Tahitian formed. Yet when the other's lit body crushed in on itself, the Pearl frowned, spear disappearing. She looked to Tahitian with contempt, arms crossed. Yet she seemed to look less intimidating now that Tahitian had formed. Before Jet could reassure her, the Pearl did first. "I am not going to poof you, Tahitian Pearl," she said in a somewha gentler tone. "I know how terrible it is." Jet had set a protective hand on his friend's shoulder though it relaxed when he was told she wouldn't be poofed.
    After wiping away Tahitian's tears and getting her shakigg to stop, it was boring. That was, until, someone new walked in. "Garnet!" the Pearl greeted, suddenly so much brighter. Jet gaped a little at the new Gem, er, Gems? He could see that this was a fusion, but it was strange. Why were they fused? What was the point? He stepped back a little and the three-eyed Gem glanced at him and Tahitian. "Are these the two I'm supposed to keep an eye one?" the fusion asked. Pearl nodded before slipping out. The reddish-purple Gem fusion glanced at him and Tahitian.
    "You're the Ruby and Sapphire who ran away a few months ago," Jet said quietly. Garnet smiled a little. "No, I'm just Garnet," she replied and took a seat. The Homeworld technician immediately felt uncomfortable and sat down as well, trying not to look the fusion in the eye.

    Tahitian Pearl


    The small pearl was stunned for two reasons.
    One, she wasn't shattered for outward behavior, though then again, the rebels would not care too much.
    And two, the gem before them now was a fusion, a two gem one. Her presence amazed her, only hearing passing stories on Homework of the gems who she had just now met. The fusion, to her, was beautiful and strange, like this planet, but Tahitian couldn't describe it with words.
    After a while, the pearl blurted out in curiosity.
    "What's it like?.. I-I mean, being fused. T-together, and, so different.."
    She, probably like jet, would never have been able to fuse, as so little of her pearl type exist. The question was harmless, but in the back of her mind, she longed to experience it for herself. Of course she wouldn't get thw opprotunity; but the thought alqays see me to run in her head.
