unknownseas | WEEK 1

Well, you've now met the brains of the operation, as well as the shockingly nice-looking young lady in charge of day-to-day business. Now all that's left is to get used to your accommodations - there's 24 other people in similar shoes to yours to meet in this building, you know! And who knows how much longer you might have them...

The daily routine in the facility quickly becomes obvious - the only way to tell time moment to moment is to check the strange device The Professor gave you, but at the same time every day the lights in and out of the facility go up, and at the same time every night they go down. Otherwise, it's almost maddening sometimes, how little happens in here. At least you have a few rooms with enough to hopefully keep you occupied. Who knows what secrets they might hold? And there's always that vending machine, if you can find something that fits in the coin slot...

I know at least one person here soft enough to fall for it.

You do? [It doesn't take him long to connect the dots.] Ah. Rose Quartz. She's the same type of...

[He waves at Jasper vaguely.]

...Person as you.

I'm nothing like her!

[ After her initial snarl, she forces herself to deliver the next few sentences in a calmer, colder voice. To continue in this vein is to give more and more hints as to why she finds the comparison so offensive, and to a person who's just said information is something he can use. ]

We're both Gems. She's a Quartz-type, like me, intended for a similar purpose. That's all we've got in common.

...I see.

[Yes indeedy. Therion will definitely remember this.]

But she's the soft one you mentioned, right? She does come off that way.

Right. [ And she's back in her regular mode of existence: pinpointing and ragging on everyone else's supposed flaws. ] And she can't be the only one, with this many weaklings about.
