[Oh my god, what the shit is this thing that is talking to her? It's most certainly not like any of the Gem tech on Homeworld, but it's still big and scary.

So, Lapis would reply but instead she is going to try and hide from you, Magnus. And hey, while doing that Magnus may get to see the teardrop shaped gem embedded into her back]

[onlytwoexpressions]

[Magnus does a quick scan...a gem?]

It's alright. I mean you know harm.

My name is Ultra Magnus and I am here to help.

[riptidequeen]

[Look, she just got here from something really fucked up. Hopefully Magnus would understand the skittishness.]

That's what they all say. [She sounds sad and bitter, but also not approaching Magnus.

Sorry duder.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

[Magnus takes a knee and holds up his hands in a gesture implying he won't come any closer.]

I imagine you have questions...I'll be more than happy to answer any that you have.

You're a gem, aren't you? Your name?

[riptidequeen]

[Lapis visibly bristles as soon as the word "gem" leaves Magnus' mouth.]

How do you know about us? What are you?

[onlytwoexpressions]

I'm a Cybertronian. A fellow member of a differing alien race with ties to Earth.

[riptidequeen]

[Don't mind the fact that Lapis is still semi-scowling.

She's not actually very... worldly. Or galaxied? Look, she's been a mirror for thousands of years okay? That fucks a person up.]

I... I don't have any ties to Earth. It's a horrible place.

[onlytwoexpressions]

It's...hardly that bad.

Granted, humans aren't the most civilized but...well...

They do have good music.

[riptidequeen]

[Flattest of flat looks.]

I'm not talking about humans.

[Lapis only knows one human! And he was pretty okay, then again can anyone not like Steven Universe?]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Then...I'm not entirely sure what you mean. What is it about Earth you dislike so much?

[riptidequeen]

It's a miserable planet, that's all you need to know.

[Hey, now she's leaving from her little spot of hiding, which wasn't really a good one.]

And... And I shouldn't be here either. [Deep breath.]

You also didn't tell me how you know about gems.

[onlytwoexpressions]

[Magnus can see he'll have to work hard for her trust.]

[Very well.]

I am sorry you had such a poor experience there, then.

As for where you are, you're in a city known as Nautilus. It exists in a dimension between time and space.

And as for your other question, I am acquainted with two gems, as well as a young man in their care.

[riptidequeen]

[Two gems and... a young man?

Oh look, Lapis almost visibly cheers up, a little.]

You mean Steven?! You know Ste... [Ah, wait. A little gasp escapes her as she brings her hands to her mouth.

If it is Steven, cause really how many human males are hanging out with Gems?!]

[onlytwoexpressions]

[Magnus puts his hands up again.]

Yes, his name is Steven and he is doing quite well. Thriving really.

As are Miss Pearl and Miss Garnet.

[riptidequeen]

Of... of course he is.

[Well, Lapis seems to be a bit less on guard now that it's confirmed Magnus knows Steven.]

... I'm Lapis Lazuli.

[onlytwoexpressions]

It's a pleasure.

You have no need to fear me. As I said, my name is Ultra Magnus and I've taken it upon myself to serve and protect the citizens of Nautilus.

Welcome.

[riptidequeen]

[Slow blink once he's done talking.]

... No wonder you've befriended the Crystal Gems then.

[She's more talking to herself there, but whatever.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning, Miss Lapis Lazuli. [Yes he will use your full name.]

[riptidequeen]

[You're weird, Magnus.]

They... Hm, they have a lot of faith in Earth and protect it.

[onlytwoexpressions]

[I get that]

Yes, that is true. We have a very like-minded mission.

If you don't mind my asking...what did Earth do to make you loathe it so much?

[riptidequeen]

I...

[She's wrapping her arms around herself now.]

It's personal.

[onlytwoexpressions]

I understand, I will not pry.

Would you...like me to take you to Steven and the others?

[riptidequeen]

No!

[That came out too quickly, and too angrily.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Alright, alright...!

Hrm. A tour then? To get you better acquainted with the city?

[riptidequeen]

[A... tour? Oh, like when Steven took her around Beach City when she was a mirror. But...]

Is there a beach around here?

[Lapis wants to test something, but she needs water. A lot of water.]
