trust you've got a game plan

[ At noon on Wednesday, Riley's standing ready in the dining hall, with a clipboard and a big smile to anyone who shows up. She's set blank stacks of paper on the table, but we'll get to that. As promised, there's some basic snacks as well as some tasty banana bread. Snacks for everyone! ]

Welcome everyoooone~! Thank you so much for showing up. This is a new and confusing experience for all of us, but I'm sure if we strive to stick together and cooperate, it'll help us foster the most productive environment that we can. [ Bright, bright smile. ] So! I've gathered all of you so we can share any discoveries and compare basic information that might give us any idea of why we've been brought here. Good? Okaaaay!

[ That smile never leaves her face. She sets something down from her clipboard and starts passing out that blank paper. ]

Sooo, following my example, if you could fill this out, that...can be a good starting discussion!

[ Her example is essentially a survey. Wonderful penmanship, again. ]

Uhhhh, kinda! [Gestures very vaguely to Steven with a shit ton of hand waving.] I've never met a "Steven" before, must be some kinda new type of quartz on earth!

He's pretty different from the Gems I know... It's fun!

[isawallflower]

That's...probably for a good reason.

[ It is not her place to get involved here. Does- does Spinel even know what humans are, though.... ]

That's something to tie the two of you together, at least. Even if it's kind of broad...

[herwiggles]

[Would you believe her experience with humans started..... a week ago?]

...Hey yeah. It'd probably be really weird if I was the only Gem around here, hehe. I'd kinda be alone.

[isawallflower]

[ Oh, that little smile... Spinel's weird, but she's sweet. ]

Then... I'm not glad either of you are here, not any of us. But, at least there's someone to...connect with, on that level.

[holyspit]

Yeah, that's- probably the best way of putting it, Earth Quartz.

[aaaaaaaaaaaaah]

[herwiggles]

Earth Quartz! Great name, Steven! [Thumbs up.] Heh, no wonder Pink got a world like Earth.

[holyspit]

Yeah, it's. It's a pretty great place.

[He should tell her. She deserves to know.]

[....he is the actual biggest chicken right now.]

Did- does she talk about it a lot?

[herwiggles]

[Buck Cluck would like a word.]

Talk about it? She couldn't stop when she heard she was getting her own colony! It was all she could think about!
