Escape From Homeworld: Planning/Gemsona stuff goes here

do it do it do it do it

 

FUCK I'M OFF TO A PRACTICE ROOM I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING ANYWAY

 

What Is Wrong With You
lyrics, first draft

Gray:

(spoken) Oh my shards, Gold. Are we doing this again?
(sung)
Can't you see that you have potential?
Can't you see you've already paid the price?
Can't you see they don't care?
They don't want us to believe.
Why, oh why can't you get this through your head?
It's not hard to use your brain,
it's not hard to think at all -
you were made just the same, the same as me!

Gold:
(spoken) Are you insane? I don't have potential!
(sung) I'm not good for anything:
all I do is stand around,
hold a spear and make no sound.
All I ever did was get in Amber's way!
I'm not special, not like you!
I didn't ever get to do
anything of any worth - I'm just a toy!
(spoken) You talk big, Gray! You talk proud!
But we didn't all get to fly around
(sung) and we didn't all get owners who wanted something useful!
Look at Rose! Look at Baroque!
And then look me in the eye
and tell me we were made
as more than things!

Gray:
(whispered) How could you.
(spoken) You think I had it easy?
(sung) You think I wanted to be special?
You know what happens to toys that don't do anything?
They get left alone. They sit on the shelf.
But toys that move? That act? That speak?
They get played with.
(spoken) So then why, you ask, do I push you?
(sung) Don't I know it's more dangerous to be loud?
(spoken) Yes! Of course! (sung) But I'd rather die as me
than as some shapeless piece of clay somebody found!

Gold:
Well what about not dying at all!
What does it matter if you're clay if you're not dead?
At least then you have potential!

Gray:
Potential that's never used
is no potential at all.

Gray/Gold:
Don't you see
you're just like me?/that this can't be?
You want a chance,/there's just no chance,
a chance to live - /no chance at all -
well take it!/it's useless!
Don't just hide!/It's just talk!
Half the galaxy's
on our side!/our execution block!
Take my hand,/Take my word,
come with me,/you will see,
or this will/this can
never, ever be!





I have melody for all of it, chords for half. Will try to record it tomorrow.

 

Oh my stars it is absolutely beautiful

 

I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS
I NEED THE RECORDING
I
EADFKLSDFAJKLFDSA
AND
IT'S SO
PERFECT
AND I'M JUST

 

I AM SCREAMING THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

 

*falls over and rolls around in appreciation blankets* X3

 

*ponders looting Almandine's house of all her precious artifacts and junk*

 

....please
let's do it

 

we're never gonna get off this fucking planet

but when we do

we are gonna be BLINGED OUT

 

HECK YEAH

 

btw

@Imoyram @cryptoThelematrix @Acey @Dist @KarrinBlue @Starcrossedsky

please feel free to jump in wherever!

 

Rose's reaction: "omg we're gonna steal stuff from Almandine? yessssssss let's steal stuff from Almandine"

 

I'll try to jump in tomorrow. I just need to finish up an essay before I do fun stuff

 

Yeah. Just had an idea.

Labs ship can have records of her missions, even recent ones. We can cross reference that with the rebel safe points (rebels were most of her missions) and then not visit anything that is no longer a safe spot.

 

@Dist boo essays. lemme know if you want it proofread/edited, i'm good at that. :)

 

ollies back in, sorry thread I had a Life there for a few days, what happ?

 

we should maybe be able to get that arranged, hopefully

 

how about...

main group heads to orbit, or maybe a rebel-friendly spaceport
super spy Pearls (+Spinel? @Starcrossedsky?) head to:

• Onyx's. this is a safe trip, because Onyx is poofed in Melon's ship. in and out, grab supplies and go. np.
• Almandine's. I bet you she has servants, and I bet you they can either be bribed (if they're Gems) or disabled (if they're bots). Probably not too difficult. @chaoticArbiter, what are your thoughts on whether Almandine has reformed? It's only been, like, max one solar cycle in-game: commissioning in evening, execution at sunrise - that's only half a rotation, and I doubt we've been talking that long? Anyway, if Almandine has reformed we might have to be more careful, but I feel like she might be the type to take her time and pamper herself a little, indulge in a bit of self-pity before returning melodramatically to the court. but that's just me.
• Amethyst's. This is the dangerous one. Amethyst is totally fine and probably ready to cause some trouble. I'm thinking we get in okay (Gray can open all the doors, Lav knows where everything is) and get stuff alright, but maybe we set off an alarm when we start taking shit? (Maybe only Lav or Amethyst can touch it, and we don't know that, and suddenly someone grabs a spear and it's all WEE WOO WEE WOO) Then we get crazy chase scene, Rita tries to make people back the fuck off, gets poofed, Lav gets a last-stand "FUCK YOU, YOU BITCH" when she runs back to save Rita, and then we all fly away.

 

I LIKE THAT
