CHARACTERS: Peridot, Pearl, and OPEN!
DATE: After Oska-sim, before the Team-Bonding tasks event
WARNINGS: Robotic dismemberment, maybe.
SUMMARY: Robot fights??? Robot fights.
• BEFORE THE FIGHT •
[Now that Oska has been "fixed"… it's about time to mess it up again. At least in a contained way that doesn't involve any "false realities." Two large, pilot-able robots stand opposite each other in a large ring, circled off with linked rope and poles.
One robot is a bright green color, diamond shaped with claw-like hands, and shorter than the other robot. The second robot is tall, smoother looking, with longer "legs" and pastel colored.
Both are unoccupied… for now, but outside of the ring is a crudely, and almost lazily painted sign with the words: ]
BUY TICKETS HERE
[…Someone's selling tickets to this??
Maybe someone else is nearby who can answer some questions… Or maybe also has no idea what's about to happen, but hey, feel free to look around anyway. ]
• THE FIGHT •
[A. - Closed to Peridot and Pearl]
[Now that the tickets have been sold, both Gems arrive at the arena.
After inspecting the area marked for their fight, and then inspecting her own robot to make sure Pearl hadn't tried to CHEAT while she was away, Peridot climbs into her own robot, testing the controls. It works just as well as it did when she first assembled it, so everything seems fine. As Pearl climbs into her own robot, Peridot calls out a taunt.]
I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO PRACTICE BOWING AGAIN, RENEGADE SCUM!!
[B. - Open To All]
[Oh, so that's why those giant robots were there. An old fashioned showdown, This Town Isn't Big Enough For The Both Of Us-style... But no guns and quick drawing, and with robots instead? Seems like it. Feel free to watch, and maybe wind up dodging some torn up dirt as the fight processes.]

[ For a multitude of reasons. One being that... if anyone from YD's court shows up...
Well. That's where the truce ends, isn't it? ]
no subject
But, well.
It doesn't seem like a good idea, so.]
Hey...[She sits down on the ground, legs crossed. Cause she's expecting this is gonna be a Whole Thing.] So who's Yellow Diamond?
no subject
You want to know about Yellow Diamond?? Well!
[Has Peridot ever seemed excited before? She has now.]
Yellow Diamond is the most perfect Gem! Diamonds are our leaders, but Yellow Diamond is the best of the best!

Oh yeah? What makes 'em so great?

Err, unless they're like...lazy?

[She doesn't sound convinced.]
So if I've got this right...basically everyone's just born to do these specific tasks based on what they are, all for the sake of these diamond dudes, and that's basically...it?

Like Pearl, even.

I mean, what if someone who was meant to be really strong was smarter than they were stronger, but didn't even know it cause noone gave them the chance?

THAT'S HOW HOMEWORLD DOES IT. It's the most efficient, and orderly way of doing things! I've stopped caring that humans are incredibly backwards and ineffective, because you're not going to change. I might be stuck here and dealing with the way your culture works, but Homeworld is Homeworld, and that's it!
