Vito had the day off from the bakery, his first day off he didn't plan on going in anyways at lest. Taking a walk threw the town enjoying the sights of this place, "Why is this place so small? Such a pretty location..." He mumbles to himself before reaching the beach edge and spotting the giant gem temple carved into the side of the cliff. "Right..." He sighed before reaching into his hoodie pocket and pulling out a red pack of smokes, opening the pack and lighting of a cig. Taking deep drag and holding it for a few moment then letting out his breath in a puff of smoke. He also had his satchel with him with what looked like a metal bat handle sticking out from it.
The young human was kind of hoping to run into a gem since there was this temple here... should he maybe get alittle closer? Giving it a moment of thought before starting to make his way across the beach towards the path to the temple. Stopping a few feet onto the path half way threw his smoke, "Man... what if they dont let humans this far? Or... some other... bad thing..." He began to get these bad thoughts trying to shake the idea from his head. He outs his smoke before adjusting his glasses and fixing his hat, better look good incase a gem does show up... but what are the odds of one really showing up right? Vito hasn't even seen Steven for awhile, and Steven seemed to like his baked good... or liked that Vito would give him free ones.

Achroite trailed behind Vito, the smoke of his cigarette drew him in, the way it swirled and danced in the air like the twirling of a ribbon, it was calming. Achroite's hand slid into the inner pocket of his blazer to have a smoke himself but none of.his cigars were to be found, "Of course, I smoked them all this morning.", he thought. He called out to the human,"Hey!", his feet drove faster towards Vito, he planted himself in the way of the baker's path. "I just wanted to ask if you could spare one of your cigarettes." Achroite's tone was smooth; carefree, his tie loosened a little by itself, and his eyes softened.

Vito was already reaching into his pack for another smoke when a voice rang out, "Hey!" This made Vito turn his head to the side to see a pale man step infront of him and asked him for a smoke, "Uh... sure?" He added as he pulled out a second cig along with his own before placing both in his mouth and lighting both at once before handing one over to the pale fellow that asked him for a smoke, "Whats with your eyes? They are..." He stopped speaking as he realized this fellow might be a gem... they have male gems?
He quickly tried to recover himself, "Oh man! I didn't mean there was anything wrong with your eyes! Just um... didn't know..." He started to mumble towards the end with his smoke dangling from his lips, "Did I just insult a gem? Oh gods im gonna die..." He thought trying not to make eye contact with the gem... unless he already moved on his way.

Achroite took note of the human's, I guess you could say, submissive nature, it was amusing him, "Don't worry about it. I am a gem." he turned around and knelt down so that Vito could get a look at his gem. "So no worries.", his sentence trailed into a small chuckle before standing again. He released the smoke that was building in his mouth, "Are you doing anything right now?" Achroite lightly touched Vito's shoulder for a brief moment, "I just arrived here and need someone to show me around.", his thoughts completely dismissed the fact that this human knew what a gem was, his intentions were more important, no questions.

Vito sighed out of relief when the pale skinned gem seemed rather cool with his mistake, taking another drag from his cig before exhiling the smoke out from his mouth and inhails it threw his nose when the gem turned to show him his gem, "Wow... thats lovely..." He said wanting to reach out and touch the stone but felt like it would have been rude or something else not good.
Looking back to the temple for a moment before feeling the touch of the gem on his shoulder as he asked him if he was doing anything... then to help show him around, "Um... I would totally show you around but I dont know too much myself, kinda new too... though im pretty sure thats like a gem place up the path." He said turning and pointing up the path towards the temple... he really wanted to go see that but felt it wasn't a place for humans... or might be full of traps.

"A gem place?" Achroite questioned with uncertainty. His eyes shifted toward where Vito was pointing, "It looks like a common home for humans.", his head tilted upward to look at the fusion statue, "Oh." Achroite stated bluntly. He felt his stomach churn at the sight of it, the beating of his artificial increased at a more rapid pace, "Who lives there?" his smooth voice became more brittle.

Vito was put alittle on edge a bit, this gem didn't know about that place? Maybe he was wrong, "What? So you dont know either? Hmm... " He thought back for a moment before traking another drag from his cig, "I think I saw Steven go up there once... maybe he lives there with his parents or something?" He said aloud thinking of when he saw the young kid dashing up into the building attached to the temple.
At that moment the door to the house swong open, a figure pretty far away was leaving the home, "Who's that?" He asked pointing towards the person making their way down the path, getting closer Vito realized it was the gem that had helped him when he first arrived, "Oh hey! Thats another gem! I saw her before... oh man what if im not suppost to be this close to the temple?!" He said outloud before quickly outing his smoke with his fingers, the burn not bothering him at all.
The dark skinned gem broke into a sprint and slide between Vito and Achroite, "What are you doing with the human?" She asked in a very bland tone, Vito was a bit scared for a moment as he wasn't sure what was going on.

Achroite felt himself breaking out into a cold sweat from of the sight of Garnet, he dropped the cigarette into the sand and crushed it under his black oxford shoes, "I am simply making conversation.", he wagged his finger up and down once to highlight her body, "Are you some sort of outcast?". It was the only conclusion Achroite could come to, no one in Homeworld society would voluntarily fuse, he had no knowledge of the war, he was only taught Homeworld laws and how to contribute to the ever growing gem population through work efforts. "Or perhaps, a criminal on the run." he was satisfied with this answer, it made sense, it explained why there was a gem on Earth and why her gem wasn't smashed. Of course, she wasn't an outcast, they wouldn't let her go so easily, that gem of hers is needed for another purpose, a purpose unknown to him but a purpose that Yellow Diamond herself issued. It didn't matter if he didn't know.

Vito tried to get a word in but was cut off by Garnet, "W-we are ju-" "This is a gem from our Homeworld... he isn't to be trusted." She spoking turning her head back looking at Vito for a moment... who now was almost as pale as Achroite looked. Garnet turns her head back to Achroite as he spoke, she didnt respond right away as she held both her arms up as they shined brightly. Her two gauntlets formed in a quick flash of light as she used one arm to push Vito behind her more and pointed towards the pale gem, "I am a Crystal Gem... and thats all your going to learn about me... now leave or tell me what your doing."
Her tone was still bland without much emotion, "Oh shit... what did I step into..." he mumbled to himself softly trying to look around Garnet to see Achroite with a confused look on the humans face.

Chevron really had no idea why, but she woke up buried beneath sand with only her middle finger sticking out of the ground. Perhaps she had been really drunk, correction, she had been drunk, and then some idiots had buried her. Gems can't get drunk, anatomically, but after hearing humans describe it she adapted to get drunk.
What a hell of a decision.
Now she was a rather large alcoholic, and constantly lost nights to being indescribably drunk, but she always got a kick out of the places she woke up. This one was by far the best. She laughed, but got a mouthful of sand. She swore, and got another mouthful of sand, and at this point leapt out of the sand, only to find her feet were enclosed in melted glass.
Because why the fuck not.
Her feet were stuck together, but off in the distance she saw an encounter between an Achroite she had met before, and... Garnet. She bunched her face up which she had been told looked fucking stupid without eyes or eyebrows, then hooped back in her hole, and began to listen.
