DESCRIPTION: Lapis doesn't really like this radio. It makes her think there's someone inside of it every time it goes off.

✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Mailbox on Door
DESCRIPTION: Mail will probably not be read. Or it will be read and not be responded to. Worst case scenario it's responded to and you cant read it because Gem writing is completely incomprehensible. You're better off just yelling at her in person for whatever she's done.

[no]

I'm not. I just don't think I'm as capable as you seem to think I am. [She's shaking her head.] Besides, the Rubies were looking for Jasper anyway. They wouldn't have blasted you at all.

[periphrasing]

Um, no.

[Just no.]

First of all, if there's one thing that I know-- which is just an expression for the record, because obviously I know far more than just one thing-- but if there's one thing that I know, it's weapons systems. Those blasters were charging to fire.

[mirrortide]

I'm sure you also know then that you could have easily moved out of the way. Or that Steven could have used his shield to block it. [She didn't do anything amazing, Peridot!]

[periphrasing]

[Peridot can't help but scowl a little.]

Lapis why are you always so determined to put yourself down!? You're an exceptional gem. I like you, STEVEN likes you. Obviously you're doing something right!

[mirrortide]

I'm not exceptional! I'm terrible! I've done horrible things, Peridot! I'll probably do horrible things again! [She... still wants to do terrible things, and she's not sure for how long she'll even be able to resist doing them.]

[periphrasing]

Just because you've done bad things in the past doesn't guarantee you'll do something bad again now. Satistically it may make it more likely, sure... but that's why you have us!

[mirrortide]

And what if you're gone! What happens when this place does something awful again and I don't have a choice! It's not like it hasn't happened to you! [Lapis very vividly remembers the whole vampire nonsense!]

[periphrasing]

[Yikes, okay Peridot is pretty well aware that she is losing this... argument? If you can call it that. She's losing Lapis, watching helplessly as the other gem gets swept up in her own anxiety.]

Alright I think we're getting a little bit too caught up in hypotheticals now. Let's just take a few breaths, and try to think this through, okay?

[mirrortide]

[Thankfully at least Lapis knows that Peridot is right. All of this is hypothetical. Even if it's an extremely probably hypothetical from her past experiences here!

Lapis clenches her hands tightly into fists.]

I.. Right. Sorry, Peridot.
