WHO: Cairngorm + various WHERE: Around! WHEN: Memory sharing event! WHAT: Closed prompts for characters to get a glimpse into ~the land of the lustrous~ WARNINGS: crystal body horror, dismemberment
Well, sure... She's been able to use it for things like that on heists before. We've taught her a bit of self-defense. But...
[ this... may be harder to explain to Cairngorm than it would be to a normal person. He thinks most humans would understand immediately why it would be painful to live life never being able to touch another person; the gems, on the other hand, don't touch each other much at all. ]
She wants to be able to touch people. She doesn't like being isolated from the world. Even if it has its uses, for her, the cons outweigh the pros by a landslide. [ a pause. ] People aren't meant to be alone.
[ He's right; they don't see why it'd be so hard to just wear gloves all the time. Isn't that essentially the same? She does remind them more of gems here, that brand of caution is more similar to the way gems interact with the world around them than humans. Then again, he'd said she wasn't really human in the same way to begin with... ]'
Sounds complicated.
[ They don't know if they can understand this even if they try. It definitely sucks not being able to interact with the world and being apart from everyone, sure, but they'd also just bit the bullet and dealt with it, had never been actively seeking a way out of it. Cairngorm can't exactly say they empathize with trying to go against the hand you're dealt. ]
Maybe there's an answer to her condition is here, in this weird place... there are resources here not known to your own realm, after all. If I were you, I'd make use of them before I'm able to leave.
