Everything fades away, come turning of the tide | Day 332 [OPEN]
Who: Rose Quartz, OPEN
Open: Open
When: Evening of 332
Where: Monument -> Rose's house
What: Most of the Bastion is grieving, angry, or trying to deal with said emotions. Rose? She's just trying to settle in to this strange new life of hers.
Format: Action
Warnings: Possible spoilers for Steven Universe? Also possible talk of war and the like
[Not everyone was affected by events recently passed in the Bastion. As much as Rose would have liked to say she had a feeling regarding it one way or another, she really couldn't. This place was still new to her. It's people were still new to her. The passing of one whom she had never spoken to was sad and she was more than understanding at the sorrow the others around her felt...
It was just not an emotion she herself could dredge up properly.
There were always going to be casualties, and for as peaceful as the Bastion itself was their situation was hardly peaceful at all. Time would pass as it always did, regardless of how any of them dealt with it.
In the quiet that had settled on the Bastion in more current days, Rose had spent time on the Skyway as she always did, hoping for some hint of her Gems out there in the haze. There was none, but she returned with a good haul of shards in the meantime.
Today, however, she wasn't out there like she normally had been. Instead she could be seen, barefoot as always, taking trips from the house with the observatory room to the Monument and back again. Three times she went, carrying a wooden flat of some sort of strange plant. A fourth time she returned not with a plant but a shimmering pink weapon at her side.
Though she'll hardly expect to be approached given how busy everyone must be, she'll certainly respond if anyone does.]

I'm sure.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
So... your gem, you said it's you? Is the rest of your body just a projection then? Or is the gem like a brain? Or a CPU, if you prefer the less biological description?
[Yep, he's nerding out trying to figure out an interesting puzzle.]
no subject
[She actually didn't mind the questions, even if she knew she could never truthfully answer everything presented to her.
Greg never seemed to ask many questions at all, really. She didn't mind that either, though it did make her wonder if he was truly as alright with it all as he claimed he was...]
A projection of sorts. We're still very much solid in this form. However if this form is damaged, we're capable of retreating inside our gems to reform it and regenerate a new one.
In that sense... no, I suppose it would be more biological than technical. As far as I know a computer can't retreat inside itself to repair damage.
no subject
[He's more talking to himself than anything else, puzzling it out.]
Do you choose your own form, or is your form set and unalterable?
[A pause]
And I apologize, I know that's typically an offensive question... It's just so amazing, I don't even know where to begin shaping it right.
no subject
[She shook her head then.]
I wouldn't worry too much about being offensive. That is really more of a human concept after all.
no subject
[He chuckes in self-depreciation, and he smiles.]
That is absolutely fascinating... I'm guessing your people are either big on magic or energy projection?
... And if I'm talking too much, you can always ask me anything you like. I don't want to hog the conversation.
no subject
[There is a half demon and a princess that would absolutely disagree with you, Rose.]
It's fine, I don't mind at all. As for your question... there is a good deal of technology on the Gem Homeworld, but defense is often handled by Gems themselves. Our gems also have the ability to summon weaponry.
no subject
But... this may not be the best time to do advanced science geekery. The moss probably the extent of what I should drool over.
[He gives her a goofy grin at that.]

You're very interesting in your own right, Mr. Starfury.
