*grins* Yep. Good response.

 

A-ah I'm glad. I-i wasn't sure... fusing for... um... non-combat reasons o-or without b-being told to i-is f-frowned upon o-on homeworld a-a-and...

 

You worried I wouldn't approve? Or that the same thing applies to sex?

 

U-um th-that the same s-s-societal repurcussions a-applied to t-this "Sex" thing.

 

That's 'cause Homeworld is full of dicks. Fusion is the greatest. Doing it with someone you really like? Awesome.

 

I agree!
... uh... Ma'am.

 

*sighs* Unfortunately, they do. It's really dumb but organic species do the same things Gems do, really. Like, some people get upset about two guys having it together, or two girls doing it. And girls tend to get more shit for having sex than dudes do. Like, some people might think, 'cause I'm a guy, that me having lots of sex and talking lots about it reinforces my masculinity and how awesome I am, but if I was a girl, they'd think I was unclean and easy. (Not that no one thinks that about me now. *sighs*) Which is, as I said, really dumb.

 

th-that i-i-is ... ah... i thought... w-weren't these "Dicks" the organic mentioned beforehand positive? a-and yet you, Lady Amethyst use th-the word as a negatively c-connotated descriptor?
A-ahhh?

 

They're positive when you're having consensual sex with one. They're negative when you're using them to describe a thing or a person. Why? I dunno.

 

Just call me Amethyst. We're all Gems together here. Pearls and Amethysts, all equal.

Yeah, well, sometimes humans with dicks do all their thinking with them. 'Least, that's what I've been told. (Not sure how that works, actually.)

 

W-well s-since i'm not... not a combatant gem class I-i wouldn't be allowed to fuse at all w-without m-my owner, Lady Amethyst, s-saying so. Um, n-not this one, m-my Amethyst is t-taller and... meaner.
B-but I ran away s-so I could be with my friends!

Th-that sounds confusing. Sh-shouldn't those be different w-words? T-to enhance communication?

 

A-ah... Th-that's still confusing, Mil-... Amethyst.
(ohshardsohshardsohshardsohshards)
U-um... i-it's kind of hard t-to call you b-by your designation a-alone. I-i keep expecting p-p-punishment.

 

It's a metaphor. Means they've got sex on the brain, basically...

No one really cares about enhancing communication when they're insulting folks with sex-related words, though.

 

b-but... c-communication s-should always be neat and t-to the point.
(i-its why i'm s-so b-bad at it. I-i c-can't g-get the words out right. Pearls shouldn't talk anyway. I'll... i-i'll just... sh-shut up now.)

 

Huh. Well, OK, you can call me what you want. But y'know, if that Amethyst of yours ever shows up, things are going down.

 

Nah, communicating's not always about that. Sometimes it's just about having fun, joking around, that kinda thing...

 

Yeah! Human languages are like shapeshifting with words. You can do all kinds of things!
*shapeshifts into Dogcopter, because it's magic! *

Spoiler: Dogcopter

 

O-oh that i-is a... peculiar form... ma'am.

 

*grins* There's all sorts of things you can do, once you stop listening to the people who say you can't.

 

W-well, yes... b-but th-that i-i-is hard. f-for all of us.
