[Video/Action] Yelling!

[nyehehe]

[Video]

[The video feed starts up to show a blurry green tube of a finger with more shades of green to either side. Peridot's voice is muffled by her clumsy grip on the videophone but she is clearly yelling.]

Stupid, stupid communicator... thing! Rargh! Why can't I be somewhere that makes sense?! Ugh, fine! Here-

[The video feed turns even more green and zooms a few feet away from scowling Gem, held up by a beam coming out of her stumpy 'palm.' Somehow she already looks worse for wear, missing one foot of her limb enhancers, a smudge of dirt on her visor, and triangular hair a mess.]

Grrr, okay! This thing works right? Not well enough to contact Yellow Diamond- [grumble] -but someone can hear me right?! Ugh, I hate this cruddy old tech. I need to find a way to contact Homeworld! I am not getting stuck on another backwater planet! This one better not be about to explode.

There has to be another Gem here, a warp pad, something! If you Crystal Clods are here you better leave me alone! I'll- I'll blast you to dust if you don't! Urgggh, that would be my luck. I bet those- those idiotic clods are behind this. First they stranded me on Earth and now I'm stranded here! None of this makes sense, what's currency? What's a child?!

Rargh!

[Peridot's agitated flailing breaks the beam holding the videophone and it lands on the grass, face down. The screen is dark for several seconds while Peridot can be heard ranting above. When she picks the phone back up, she's realized how to hold it without obscuring the camera and looks more sullen than enraged.]

Ahem. I am Peridot and I demand someone tell me how to get off this horrible- er, uh, whatever! This planet, I want to get out of here!

---

[Action] -- chose a location

Peridot can be found limping around, alternating between yelling at harmless objects, hiding from things like rain and loud noises, and pouting. Often she has a floating green screen up to rant at. It appears she is having a very drawn out and very mobile temper tantrum. Her attempts to find a way off Genessia or figure out things like street signs and organic life are not going well.

Beware flailing metal limbs and hurled objects when she's ranting and stomping about.

Wow you're green.

[nyehehe]

Astute observation, clod! How does that help me?!

[hero_for_fun]

I dunno...

[Saitama ponders her problems and comes up with one answer. Just one.]

Oh! Currency is what you buy things with.

[youfool]

Hey, a chance to be helpful! As Mr. Balderson had answered one question, he'd take the other.

"A 'child' is a member between birth and full growth. You can also use it as a pejorative, which you might need once 'clod' wears out."

[nyehehe]

Peridot felt her Gem might crack from the sheer frustration of this. She stared at the screen in disbelief, was this really what she could expect? The Steven gave her better answers than people on this planet.

"So it's some sort of insult...?" She paused. "Child!"

[youfool]

"Hah, well done! Now all you need to do is find a youth, and you'll have known every facet of the word." Then again, given her eagerness to try out naughty words, maybe it's best to keep children's ears virginal.

"As for your more pressing question of how to leave, I could give you an answer, but it's largely theoretical, and dark besides. You may be too delicate for it, and others may be too courteous to offend said delicacy. Are you positively, absolutely desirous for it?"

This planet's totally exploding soon.

[nyehehe]

[Peridot's voice reached an uncomfortable level of high pitched in her distress.]

What?! When?! How do I get off this place?!

[stairsbro]

Holy shit, that's a high note. You shouldn't take strangers so seriously.

But yeah, you don't get off. [ ha. phrasing... ] I mean, you're stuck. There's zero escape. We're all going down together when it inevitably happens at some unknown point. I'll probably know first, as I do. So check back in later. Welcome to doomed club of Genessia.

[gundesign]

Sorry, no one's leaving the planet that easily. Still, I think I can help you with a couple of things.

[A brief pause.]

But you have to say "please" first.

[nyehehe]

Why would I need to do that?! Just tell me!

If there was one thing that Koishi loved in this world... it was green things. And there was no mistaking it. Peridot was the greenest person she had seen thus far in Genessia. And, therefore, Koishi already adored her. This would turn out to be an unfortunate thing, as it meant the often-annoying youkai would be pestering the gem the moment she was noticed.

Peridot was at the edge of the Bay's park-like area when she'd notice the little youkai half-floating next to her, clinging to one of her arms, cheek squished against the gem's shoulder. She wouldn't have even noticed the little youkai's approach.

"Hello Miss! You're very green and I can appreciate that." Of course she could. Koishi was sporting quite a bit of green herself. "Some of the best things are green and you're very very green so you must be the best too!"

Wow she was clinging tightly.

[nyehehe]

If there was one thing that Peridot hated it was being pestered. That and surprises, she really wasn't a fan of those.

"Yike!" Peridot about jumped out of her skin when the little thing appeared suddenly, clinging to her arm. What in this cursed galaxy was this and why was it touching her?!

"No no no! Get off me!" Peridot cringed and try to push the small youkai off her with a finger to her forehead. She was not very strong.

[Jeb is just getting back from the market with some groceries when he sees this tantrum. Naturally, he carefully approaches her, never able to turn a blind eye to someone in need]

What's wrong...? I-is there something I can help you with?

[nyehehe]

[Peridot paused mid-rant to look around at him. Her expression was somewhere between murderous and mutinous child.]

Fine! What is that horrible thing? It tripped me!

[She pointed down at a perfectly normal scooter that had been left on the ground.]

[Ace is perched on a roof somewhere, watching the comings and goings below with varying degrees of boredom. Though he is somewhat interested by what appears to be an angry green triangle storming around]

Have a problem, shorty?

[nyehehe]

[Surprised, Peridot jumped with a shrill "Yeep!" and tripped herself on her mismatched metallic legs.]

Oof. He-hey! I'm not short!

[dolleyed]

You're the one who's not making any sense, wow.

[ He's... almost impressed with this amount of incoherent rage. ]

And you won't be leaving.

[nyehehe]

Why not?!

[The rage wasn't stopping.]

I can find a way out of here! If people would be helpful. Hmph.

[icyheart]

Sorry, but you are stuck here like the rest of us. Get use to it.

[Harsh, but to the point at least.]

[nyehehe]

[Peridot grumbled darkly, so many unhelpful people.]

Why should I?! I have more important things to do than be stuck here!

[fragrantic]

Demanding information isn't going to encourage many to share what they know.

[nyehehe]

They should. I'm not demanding much! It's of utmost importance I get back to Homeworld!

[Video] - Hope I'm not too late to the party

[wizard_redfive]

[Wow. Dairine would assume this was Peridot's first time off planet if she hadn't outright named Earth.

While unimpressed, it does make her overlook the Gem's rudeness. Being suddenly on a different planet can be quite alarming. Ignoring her confusing Gem slang for the moment, Dairine responds.]

Hate to break it to you, but long distance calls and transport are blocked here.

[nyehehe]

By what force? There has to be way around it! Rrrgh, this is so frustrating! Who would design a system like this?!
