@The_Painted_Wings groupDMs open!
Spinel giggled madly, thinking his response was absolutely hilarious. “Wow, hard-boiled, ain’t he?” She said after catching her breath. “Didn’t even give us his name. Pity really, thought we could be friends.”
Spinel giggled madly, thinking his response was absolutely hilarious. “Wow, hard-boiled, ain’t he?” She said after catching her breath. “Didn’t even give us his name. Pity really, thought we could be friends.”
Amethyst laughed, snorting. "Yeah, sure."
“Whaat?” She whined jokingly, finding her response quite cute.
Alaster walks past nightfall and poppy, walking right in between them. Amethyst giggled. "Well, at least he didn't try to kill us or something."
“Oh, he’s gonna’ try. I know that look he gave me.” She chuckled, silently hoping this guy wouldn’t actually do so.
Steven stared at Alastor, looking like he got slapped in the face. Who was this guy? Why did he have the audacity to just walk in between a conversation? How rude. He frowned slightly, looking a little on edge.
Alaster felt steven's eyes burning onto his back, turning his head to look at him, then facing him. "There a problem, little fellow?"
Just by the way he looked at him, Steven knew it was a bad idea to even so glare at this stranger. “No, sir.” He said as innocently as he could, trying to keep polite.
"Alrighty then!" Alaster said in an overly-cheerful tone, facing steven completely. "You seem much more polite than that pink little woman over there. What's your name?" He asks steven.
Composing himself, he hesitantly replied “I’m Steven… Pink lady? Do you mean Spinel?” He asked, tilting his head slightly, once again trying to appear as nice as he could, which was quite easy for him, as he just looked like an adorable little human. (Which he was)
"Is that her name? Hm. well, I'm alaster." He replies, holding out a hand for steven to shake, smiling at him.
Somehow, this guy was more frightening than most of the things he has encountered?? “Yes, her name is Spinel.” He replied to his comment. As soon Steven saw him hold out his hand, he almost bubbled himself, but kept himself under control and shook his hand.
Nightfall glanced suspiciously at the guy talking to Steven. If he so much as looked at the young human the wrong way, she would be ready to freeze his face off.
(Yay!! Friendship!!)
Alaster closed his eyes joyfully, letting go of steven's hand and then opening his eyes again. "So, those girls are your friends, I take it?" He asks.
He glanced at Nightfall, acknowledging her protective stance, but quickly looked back to Alastor. “Yep, though I don’t know Spinel all too well, but she hangs around Amethyst a lot, and I’ve known her for forever so…” He shrugged.
"If you ask me, she doesn't seem like the friendly type." Alaster says. "But I'm not one to judge." He then looks at steven's hair, his smile growing. "Your hair is like a poodle! That's adorable!" He says with a laugh, patting his hair.
Nightfall watched closely to make sure Alaster wasn't using some kind of magic on Steven, but there was nothing strange that she could tell. She was close enough to hear them talking, so she listened intently.
Alaster glanced at nightfall, giving her a curious look. "Is this one of your friends too?" He asks.
“She’s just misunderstood, don’t worry, she’ll warm up to you.” Steven tried, though having a feeling that wouldn’t happen.
This is White all over again…. He thought as the man ruffled his hair, feeling purposefully belittled, but he allowed it, if it was just this one time. “Thank you??”
"Well, most do! I have been told by many that I am a joy!" Then he muttered something else, his eyes turning to clocks for one moment as he said this. "the ones I didn't eliminate…" then his eyes turned back to normal.
Nightfall tensed when she heard that. She turned and looked straight at Alaster and Steven, her eyes wide. she glanced at Poppy and Taily, wondering if they had heard, and if they shared her suspicions.
"Anyway, what are your favorite things to do?" He asked steven cheerfully, as though he hadn't just said something terrifying.
This set him off. Out of pure instinct, he formed his bubble around himself, and he wasn’t sure if he wanted to drop it. He silently begged for the other Gems to come help him, as this was too much, even for his kindness to handle.
Alaster looks confused, poking the bubble. "Interesting." He mumbles. This was almost like a challenge for him, and he attempted to resist, just looking at it.
She ran over and shoved Alaster away from Steven. "Hey! Back off!" The dragoness growled, angrily, though there was a slight hint of fear in her voice.
(Poor Steven)
(I shall join together with the Gems as The Steven Protection Squad!!!)
Alaster glared at her, using one hand to shove her to the ground, tsking. "Stupid mortals…" He mumbles, snapping his fingers. a few large black tentacles appear from the ground and wrap themselves around the bubble steven had formed. Amethyst saw this and ran over, but was stopped by one of the tentacles. Alaster had an evil grin on his face as the tentacles squeezed her and steven's bubble.
(Lol. Garnet is an open position if anyone wants to play as her)
(I know absolutely nothing about Garnet, except that she is awesome, and is Ruby+Sapphire.)
Black tentacles wrapped around Nightfall's body and wings. She struggled against them, but they only tightened their grip. Glaring at Alaster, she prepared to shoot ice straight at his head.
Amethyst struggled, and when the tentacles got too tight, she poofed into her gem. Alaster looked at it evily, thinking he had killed her, and threw the gem to the side, focusing on steven in the bubble and nightfall.
