(Holy shit this is amazing this is the fucking reason I joined this RP)
I picked up a sword an shield from the pile. I fancied myself a swordfighter, thought I was pretty good at it. At least, better than the people I got to spar with me. The swords were foam but they proved a point.
I had no idea what the sword belonged to, but shit it looked nice. The shield was clearly Hylian, some Legend of Zelda shit. Hadn't played the games in ages but they were fun I supposed. I brought the sword up, it was nice looking, it was encased in a "golden" (probably yellow plastic) scabbard, and the hilt was of the same material. The actual blade was a meter long broadblade. I was never one for broadswords so I picked up a gladius from the pile and attached it to my hip, just in case I needed a change of sword.
"Damn right"

"Lammmeee!" I exclaimed at Whipple. My arm moved horizontally, the elbow toward the ground, to emphasize my point as I said "All of these choices and you choose a sword?" I scoffed. My eyes peered into the bag before pulling out a splattershot. I aimed at Whipple in humor. Turning back toward Nick and the bag full of goodies, rummaging through it to find a black cloak, "Yessss, I don't know why but this just feels right." I whipped the cloak around my shoulders and pulled the hood over my head.

Shaun gasped and looked onto the weapons as if they were presents under a Christmas tree. He looked through the weapons carefully until he tripped on a weopon, it appeared to be a bomb launcher. Shaun picked it up and held it with two hands, he noticed the the name printed on the bomb " The fat man little boy" Penelope looked at Shaun as he jumped around gleefully grabbing all of Q's belonging and launching them, She looked around and picked up a Laser Kitana "Wow.. I wonder if it even wo-" Penelope was immediately cut off as she summoned the blue blade of the laser Kitana it front of her " Well that solves that" she said with a slight grin (This). Cody picked up a chainsaw, examined it and immediately dropped it " Too ordinary.. I want something CRAZY" and to Cody's delight he noticed a drill on the ground he picked it up and attached it to his arm, he then began to start the drill up, the drill vigorously shook on his hand with a loud roar eminating from it. Cody then Drill dashed into a wall while yelling "Yeee Haw!". (This)

"Alright, enough with the horseplay, ladies and gents!" shouted Periwinkle Quartz, clearing away all the smoke and debris suspended in the air. "If you want to test these babies out, go outside to the shooting range," he said. "You'll know it when you see it," he added as they took off for the outdoors.
Among the "toys" Nick had picked up, there were not one, nor two, nor three, nor four, but five different lightsabers fused together in menorah fashion, as well as a full-arm automail glove and a blaster fit for Han Solo himself. He took these and put them in a pile for himself.
The clock struck eleven. "All right! Meeting everybody!" said Periwinkle, settling himself into an armchair as everyone came in and gathered round him.
"I have a plan to get us to Beach City," he announced quietly. The Gems looked at him with confusion; the others looked with wonder. "When the Gems first crossed dimensions, the portal which they devised was erratic. It spat them up here by chance. But I think I have a way to get exactly where we want to go.
"Beneath this house, I have a secret lair which only I use," he went on. "In that lair, there is a supercomputer known as Rebecca. She's perhaps one of the most advanced pieces of technology yet to be made. If we can alter her programming and combine it with Gem magic, we can cross dimensions and enter Beach City without a hitch!" He beamed at the crowd assembled. They just blinked in confusion, as if he had lobsters growing out his ears.
"Yeah, it sounds pretty bullshit, but you guys have to trust me on this," he added. "I know we can do this. We have to." He paused. "Who's with me?"
Slowly they all raised their hands and he nearly jumped for joy. "Great! Pearl, Nick, I need you guys to help me work on Rebecca. The rest of you, there's free booze and soda in the mini-bar down there, and a TV and video games too. Let's go! Allons-y!" He led them down a hallway into his study, where he pressed a button by the telephone. A bookcase pulled away to reveal a firepole. "Who's going first?" he asked.

"He says 'Allons-y' but he didn't grab any of the five sonic screwdrivers..." I mumbled, de-morphing. "Alright, let's get started. Mr. Winkler told me he 'detected' you guys coming in, so maybe we can pull some sort of coordinates from that data."

Having all slid down the firepole into utter blackness, they squinted when Quartz turned on the lights to reveal both a mini-bar and fridge to their left, a TV to the left of that, and on their right a titanic computer whirring and buzzing like one of those old ENIAC monsters from the 50s.
"This," said Periwinkle Quartz with pride, "is Rebecca." The Gems--Pearl specifically--gaped, while Whipple, Steven, Shaun, Penelope, and Cody ran off to the mini-bar and entertainment system. Nick whistled in appreciation.

I began to raid the fridge, it's contents were organized as expected, I grabbed a jar of pickles. My fingers latched onto the seal and tried to pry it open, eventually, dropping it. The jar shattered and the contents were tainted, "Sssshit." I hissed. I stood there like a deer in headlights, innocently trying to play it off, I walked away and joined the majority.

Several debugging sessions, code-writing sessions, and one well-deserved break later, we finally figured out a working algorithm to get to Beach City and to return to this universe if we wanted to. We had Winkler gather everyone in the living room to discuss things in detail.
"Ahem...using multi-planar reflection sorting," Pearl began, "We were able to pinpoint the exact coordinates of both this universe and our own."
"Which means we can travel back and fourth between them," I continued, pointing to a makeshift device I put on the coffee table, "Thanks to this device that Pearl helped me build. It can create the portals, too, so now you Gems don't need to over-exert yourselves if we need to retreat. Still no MEGAZORD, but it'll do." I shot a look at Pearl, but she scoffed.
"Nick, we ran out of materials right after we built this device and anything close to what you'd describe as a 'Megazord' would take days to gather the needed materials again," She gave me an indignant look, "Besides, you and Amethyst already gave us an excellent arsenal with your whole 'enchantment' escapade." I groaned. You could have built a Zord in five minutes, Pearl, and you know it.
"Anyway, if everyone's all set, it's time we went to Beach City." I picked up the Reality Gate, as I decided to call it, and flipped the main switch, the portal to Beach City appearing in front of me.
"Nonstop to Beach City!" I shouted as I jumped through the portal.

Mr Quartz chuckled. Crazy S.O.B. that he was, you had to admire his daring. "Alright, I'm going in after him!" Girding on his glove, and tucking his sabers and his blaster into his belt, he wrapped himself in a fur cloak he had pulled from his wardrobe. Checking to make sure the rest of his attire was in check (a double-breasted black suit, as always) he took a deep breath and entered the portal.
Blackness, blackness and weightlessness--then a glowing sensation, as if everybody were descending through layers of a warm atmosphere. Mr Quartz opened his eyes to find that he and his comrades had landed on the sand by a vast expanse of salt sea. From the smell Mr Quartz deduced they were somewhere on the Atlantic coast. He looked over a distant panorama of landscape containing a boardwalk with shops, an amusement park, and restaurants and cafes.
"Well, here we are," said Steven.
"Beach City?" asked Mr Quartz.
"Yes," said Garnet.
"Doesn't look that badly damaged," he replied.
"Once we get closer you'll see how bad it is," said Amethyst.
"How are you all doing?" asked Pearl to the others. "No motion sickness, cramps, or anything like that?"

I hopped into the portal without hesitation, my cloak fluttering.
