Who: Peridot [personal profile] slapfight and Dipper [personal profile] krmvgivv
Where: The Caves
When: January 21st
Rating: PG
Summary: Dipper tries to get some alone time in the caves. Peridot is becoming one with the clods. Shenanigans ensue.
The Story:

After wading through the frozen liquid she now knows is called snow (and learning that she likes it significantly less than rain), Peridot's managed to work her way to the caves, which seem to be a suitable location for her to chronicle the facts she's learned about this... Wonderland in private, and also because she's a horrible, disgusting clod who brought this misery on herself, and should probably be among her own.

It's not like Gems even believe in karma, but after a certain point, a well-conditioned Gem has to wonder what kind of retribution lies in store for her after what she did to Yellow Diamond. Was this abduction some meaningless act or was it because she turned her back on her Diamond? What was the cause and effect? Did it have any connection to Yellow Diamond at all? Did, through some bizarre, inexplicable turn of events, Wonderland save her from the retaliation? (and if it did, is it self-aware enough to know that this doesn't help her any.)

If she thought the Crystal Gems and their radical beliefs and their emotions were strange and infuriating, even as she found herself respecting them little by little, then Wonderland was something entirely new. Something worse. She'd already shifted belief systems once. She'd rather be crushed into a fine powder than have to change her ideals again. Giving up her sense of logic and reason was out of the question.

Which probably meant she'd have a lot of screaming to do in the future. She's getting a fresh start on that right now as she stomps around the caves, scowling and kicking at dirt clods.

"No one's going to be satisfied until you've completely lost your mind, Peridot," she mutters in exasperation, not even bothering with the communicator (which she's mercifully learned how to filter, so she can record privately). "Well, I'm getting-"

She hears footsteps and a strangled gasp of surprise rises up involuntarily as she ducks behind one of the rocks. "Who's there?" And then, in a harsher tone. "You've got one chance to turn around before I blast you into pieces."

Maybe they're easily intimidated and will turn tail and run. Maybe they won't call her bluff at all. Yes. Excellent. Smart thinking, Peridot.
