+ Chalk it to me! - Mingle Log +

Who: EVERYONE!
Where: Anywhere outside on Real Side, but mostly in the gardens!
When: 3/14-3/20
Rating: PG, warn if going higher than PG-13
Summary: Alice has invited everyone, Reals and Mirrors alike, to come color outside in the nice spring weather with magic chalk. Surely nothing could go wrong with that plan, right?
The Story:

Outside, the weather is absolutely beautiful. It's not too hot, but not too cold either, and no one would have ever realized there was snow on the ground yesterday if they hadn't been here to see it. The grass is green and everything is dry - no sign of melted snow anywhere at all. Flowers have begun to bloom and it truly looks as though it's been spring for some time already. The season has changed abruptly and now Wonderland's decided it's time for it to be nice out.

There are many paths through the gardens, the vendors, and the hedge maze that can be drawn on, but as Alice demonstrated in her post, there's no need at all to stick to pavement only. Even the air can be decorated with living drawings!

This is a log for people who want to come color outside or people who want to check out what others are doing out here. It isn't strictly to interact with Alice, but she'll be around and will have a top level.

What? Really?

[Peridot finds that to be exceedingly bad math, considering how form and function are requirements for her enjoyment of things. Having something "just because" is still strange and foreign to her, but that's what the 'morps are. And that's what music is. A pattern created just for the feeling of bringing it to completion.

She opens her mouth to say something, closes it, hems and haws for a few moments, and then decides where she falls on it. This may be a different circumstance from the one she'll eventually learn this lesson from, but she trusts Lapis and Wonderland has taught her a lot about pointless novelty in the face of endless boredom.]


Well... It's still bringing something to life in a place where everything is manufactured and not under our control. [She touches the chalk petal of one awkward sunflower.] That's something.

[Okay! That's not bad. Relieved, Lapis hastens to add more of whatever might be vaguely helpful.]

I mean, humans eat them. There was this whole thing where we all gathered around to celebrate the grim inevitability of marriage...

[Do they need to recreate all that too? They don't have an Andy.]

And I guess there's Pumpkin, but that was something Steven did.

[Has she even mentioned Pumpkin yet, she's not sure. Lapis isn't even sure exactly what Steven did, except that in retrospect everyone should have been a whole lot more suspicious of his ridiculous power set, huh.]

[In vague terms, probably, though Peridot can't catalog all of Steven's weird powers in a meaningful way. She's never seen a quartz like him... which makes sense because he's a Diamond. Half a Diamond. Eugh.]

The humans here seem to be fond of bartering. Maybe we can trade what we grow for things.

[She doesn't know what things, but she's never really had anything she could barter with before and she likes the idea of it.]

Maybe.

[Do they want anything from the humans? Do the humans even really care? Lapis doesn't know where they get their food from around here really. The nostalgia, though, is strong. And the chalk garden is nice; Lapis is getting interested in that for its own sake now. She draws a tomato plant, and then a regular old pumpkin vine, and then she gives in and carefully draws Pumpkin.

...She does miss the little aberration -- albeit less so in Wonderland, where Claude seems to fill a similar role and in some ways was also there first. She misses all of this, and while things have improved on that front, reminiscing also means remembering that it's not all really resolved. Anyway, whatever it is that Steven did, there is probably no good to be had down the road of trying to recreate that here too. But Pumpkin is not a complicated creature, and the chalk simulacrum doesn't have to do much or last long. It yips and immediately begins bouncing excitedly at its people, and Lapis can't help but smile at that too.]

Oh my stars. [It's an instant infatuation with the pumpkin dog, like something she always knew in her heart she'd love, but she had just never seen before. She drops to her knees and the Pumpkin hops into her lap, yipping and snuggling and getting chalk dust all over her.]

Who would've thought earth vegetables would be this affectionate when they're given life.
