"Well... it is quite an interesting story." She sighed. "I don't often get to tell it. But I like telling it because it explains why my world seems so idealistic in comparison to everyone else's. It's part of why I think that I have a somewhat hard time getting my thoughts across to people. I like science, my world is shaped hard by science. And our society has grown to love our humanity as well. And so our core philosophy is incredibly hard-wired with a ton of creativity to help us survive. Everyone knows a lot about the world and how to live a content life. There hasn't been a war in 250 years. And so when I talk about all this, I feel like I can never get across to some people."

Almost like a lightswitch turning on, Hillary's mood quickly brightened to rival her glimmering self. "Hehe, thank you~" Hillary smiled brightly, pivoting back and forth in place. "I found this tube thing, and it looked really pretty so I-I took it." Hillary explained, not seeming overly concerned with Timea's daydream, Hillary had had plenty of those already.

[color=66CCFF]"Perhaps... maybe there is more to your kind than I thought."[/color] Aqua said. [color=66CCFF]"I am glad I made the decision to fight for humanity, now that I see what potential you have."[/color]

Aqua looked up at the sky, almost longingly. [color=66CCFF]"I wonder how much Homeworld has changed since I've been gone."[/color]

"Hey Aqua..." She turned, her eyes were watering and her face smiling. "Thank you."

"Homeworld's where you're from right? I wonder what it's like there. I've been to plenty of alien worlds, and I find them all amazing." She made a nostalgic sigh.

You say that you'd probably be better at cleaning than cooking, and once you are told where to clean you go at the task with gusto. You have no wish to stay here longer than required, as you still feel a bit paranoid about guards from the capital coming to find you. Still, despite your zeal the task does not go very quickly, as your missing hand constantly gets in the way with more complicated tasks.

OoC: @TrilbyWill: You can decide how much time this should take, I've got no idea how much she has to clean.

(fan theory time) [color=66CCFF]"All organic life has long since been eliminated, and only Gems and our creations remain. It's beautiful, all of it."[/color] Aqua said nostalgically. [color=66CCFF]"There were four main regions, each ruled by one of the Diamonds. We have cities in the air, underwater, underground... the whole planet was basically built by us and controlled by us, so it's exactly how we want it at any time. All we needed to do was populate it."[/color]

Heno followed the others into the village. He put a consoling hand on Aqua's shoulder. "We all miss home, stone friend."
[hr]
As the others entered a village they saw a man in a nice red leather jacket with multiple pockets in it, one of which had some white wires poking out of leading up to a pair of white earbuds around the man's neck, one of them was in his ear at the time. He had dirty blonde hair that was currently in a state of fashionably tussled. He had tiny little black lennon glasses over his eyes. He spoke with a soft sing-song voice suitable for beatnick poetry, or a late-night radio. He had a plain white shirt other than text on it that said "Don't harsh the groove". He also had two sci-fi looking pistols on his belt. The man could not stay in place for even a second and did small dance moves while he did anything... He was also currently being thrown out of a bar.
"I told you, daddio! My money is too futuristic to pay your back-water civilization. Be an originator Homie, be the first business to accept credit chips. Believe me, they will catch on like galactic wildfire in a couple million years."
"Do credit chips feed the family!"
"... I can also pay you in some groovetastic songs"
"Songs don't feed the family either!"
"Nonsense songs are the food of the soul."
"Pay or I'll call the guards!"
"Hey, now! There's no need to be so hasty! I can pay you by..." The man looked panicked for anybody to use as a scape-goat. As the group came walking up, he grabbed EMily by wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulled him closer towards him. "Having my Blue-haired space girlfriend pay for my tab! She's one radical gal that always helps a guy out!"

[color=734a12]Aqua and EMily attained support level C.[/color]

Robin turned as he heard someone scramble up to the group. He raised a confused eyebrow at his antics.

"It sounds amazing." She said, happily. "If you told me this story when I was, say, fifteen years old, I might have been a whole lot more judgmental about different extraterrestrials. But, as I've learned from going to alien civilizations, our politics do not apply there. We are just at the cusp of meeting others from other worlds, so we don't have the right do press our philosophy on them. So, whatever reason was behind the life extinction in the first place, just keep in mind that you can be honest with me without any consequences. I'm good at listening and understanding."

Both continued having nothing to do because they are shitty, atrocious, godawful characters that rightfully no one has even a minute interest in.

Aqua was surprised at EMily's reaction, then decided to explain further. [color=66CCFF]"The Diamonds were the first Gems, and they have never told how they were created. But as for the rest of us, we are created by placing gemstones in the ground of a life-bearing planet, where we absorb the life force of all nearby living things to power our magic and give us life. We do this until the planet is completely drained of all organic life, then search for another planet. Nobody objected until we found Earth."[/color]

She looked down at the singer guy, then back to EMily. [color=66CCFF]"Please tell me you don't actually know him."[/color]

She shook her head, very confused as to what's happening.
"I'm afraid I don't. He looks like he's from 23rd century Earth, judging by the fashion."

"Also I don't have enough credits to pay for your tab, bud. I don't even think that my credits are the same as your credits. And finally, who the heck are you?"

The man laughed nervously to everybody. "Haha! Aren't you space cadets so funny! Always joking about me! We've known each other forever, like Womb to Tomb, Am I right! I'm Space Commander Jive Cat obviously. Because that is seriously my real name that I will answer too, and can be found upon my criminal record, and is one hundred percent traceable." He let out another nervous laugh again, and did a small spin. "Now could you pay this cool cat right here. Cause I gave you all that native money. By the way, I drank three gold worth of expensive booze yesterday! It was one hell of a crunk kegger" He let out another nervous laugh, his dancing seemed to intensify from his nervousness.
The Barkeep tapped his foot impatiently.
Heno simply watched the man, his facial expression remaining impassive. "I spent all of my money on supplies."

Robin walked alongside Cybil, looking back at the man who had stumbled into their midst. "Heads up, we have a newcomer. And he's not quite... stable."

OoC: @Drak: I would interact with you more, but it's really late here.
Off for the night.

"I earned 16 gold the other day selling the philosophy of the scientific method, and I will not use it to pay for your 3 gold tab! Go wash some dishes to pay for it!"

Topaz walked up to Jive Cat and put his arm around his shoulder. [color=FFCC33]"Hey buddy, long time no see!"[/color] Topaz said. [color=FFCC33]"Don't you worry about your 'girlfriend' in the blue dress, your good friend Topaz has got ya covered!"[/color]

The 'Space Commander' let out a good long nervous laugh for about a minute. "... Eheahaha!... Do you have any idea how many dishes is three gold worth! I'd be here all my life! That wouldn't just harsh the groove, it would downright stop it! And since Groove Is In the Heart than that means I would die!" 'Jive cat' looked down to Topaz with a look of hope. "That is quite bodacious my old friend. So what is your plan of payment for this man... I mean he doesn't even accept the currency of song! And that's terrible!"
Heno shook his head in a look of shame. "... Please don't tell me you are going to break the law."

"You know this drunkard?" EMily was quite astonished, lifting an eyebrow. But somehow she was not surprised. She shook her head and groaned. "Whatever."

Cybil groaned at the display of idiocy in front of her. She had nothing to say however, as nobody was attempting to speak to her, and any attempts to speak initiated by her would just wind up being stupid and insulting to everyone, so she remained silent.

@Gear: No you wouldn't.
