What girl doesn't need a good axe?
WHO: Garnet and anyone who wants to drop by!
WHAT: Weapon shopping.
WHEN: Around midday.
WHERE: The Mid-Summer Festival in the Lost City of Amazonia
NOTES/WARNINGS: Dem thighs always need a warning. /ahem. Nothing as yet.
She had taken her arrival with her usual aplomb. The City of Tomorrow had been interesting, but she saw more things that she might need to take a closer look at when she thought about attending the Festival that everyone was talking about.
So that was where Garnet had gone. It was rather nice to be amongst fellow warrior women - not that she wasn't always, or almost always, but the attitude here was different. Pearl fought because Rose fought. Amethyst fought because, in her words, she was 'scrappy.' Garnet's reasoning was different. She fought because the battle needed to be fought, and she was able to fight it.
The reason she was looking intently at a weapons booth, though, was because...
Well...
Her giant axe looked a little lonely, and this place was, currently, a little closer (and definitely less laden with memory) than the strawberry fields.
Her lips tugged to one side, a hand at her chin, Garnet eyed a particularly well-made polearm. Reach, and a blade. Both of those were positives in her book.

Sometimes silly. Oftentimes in need of protection. Always soft and breakable. But there was something wonderful about them anyway.

Loki gestures as she speaks, hands moving descriptively, long fingers dancing through the air.
"They also invented coffee and bacon."

But, truly, she could take food or leave it. Even coffee. So she shrugged. "They also invented fish pizza."
And the way she said it meant that it tipped the scales in the other direction from coffee.

Possibly she agrees.
"But there's no accounting for taste."

The Pizzas were an odd family. And yet, after the incident with the pufferfish, she could respect them.

Well, somehow Greg's duct tape was still holding the geode together. And he'd managed to get Lapis' video message from the wailing stone.
"Some are more competent than others."

"Isn't that true of any people?"

And then she thought of Pearl.
"Yes."

(It had to have been along the way, right? She certainly didn't have it before, and there were no sparkles of conjuration...)

And then, once they were settled, she began.
"Among gems, rank is determined by rarity. The Diamonds are the leaders. Sapphires and Lapis Lazulis are aristocrats. The Quartzes, warriors. Rubies, footsoldiers. But below them all are Pearls.
"Pearls are servants. Made to order for those with power, plain or fancy, meant to follow, to carry, to do the menial tasks that their owners don't want to do. A status symbol, in living form."

"Never mind; you're not here to tell your own story, right? Go on."
no subject
"There was a great warrior. A follower of Pink Diamond. Her name was Rose Quartz, and she was one of very few Quartzes with a Pearl. As with most, in the beginning, her Pearl was a servant. A secretary. A keeper of items and secrets. But the more Rose watched, the more she could see that her Pearl was not a thing. Her Pearl was a person who had been created to be a thing.
"So she spoke to her Pearl. She gave her Pearl choices about the tasks she wanted to do. She asked her Pearl questions and paid attention to the answers. Instead of training her Pearl to be the perfect servant, she let her Pearl grow into a role she wanted to play.
"And then, Rose Quartz was sent to Earth."
