Look at them all!

[That is a very excited Rose Quartz on the network. And she has...is that a Hoppip nestled into her hair on top of her head? It certainly is. And the view behind her is...Cherrygrove. Rose is still in Cherrygrove, having been utterly captivated by the little town and surrounding area. And of course the Pokemon.]

[Which is what she's broadcasting about. The 'gear turns to show quite a little assortment of Pokemon playing in the grass and fallen leaves. A Bunnelby, a Psyduck, a Flabebe, and a Bidoof. Well, most are playing, the Psyduck is just sitting and watching.]

They really are everywhere! And all so different...

I found all of them on the way to Cherrygrove - and it really is a very soothing and restful place to stay for a bit! I've been learning all about human care at the spa here, they've been very nice and I know all about skin now! And I'm really getting the hang of buying things, but I'm spending more money than I'm getting.

Maybe I should try a job!

I have never seen anybody so excited about getting a job in my life.

[Maybe he'll get back to her not knowing what skin is in a second BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST...]

I've never had a job before!

[Not in the way humans have jobs, anyway.]

But I'm a human now and most humans have jobs, so I should have a job!

Be sure to get a fun job, at least.

Did I hear you say something about...what, not having skin?

[Is she another one of those "androids"??"]

How do I know which ones are 'fun'?

[To Rose, they all look fun!]

Before now, my body was a conscious physical projection composed of light.

They're the ones where you don't have to stand behind a counter while an old lady counts a hundred pennies to buy something with.

[HE ONCE WORKED AT A MART. NEVER AGAIN.]

...y'know, that's a new one I haven't heard. Congratulations.

I'd be very impressed to see an old lady count a hundred things! Old people sleep so much, and a hundred is a very high number.

There haven't ever been any other gems here before?

[Which shouldn't be that surprising, there hadn't been any to Earth beforehand either. But this place seems so full of diverse peoples...]

[SURE, ROSE. SURE. He doesn't look like he believes that she'd find it very interesting in reality. NOBODY can possibly be THAT bubbly.]

Gem...but you said you were made of light? Gems are rocks.

Those are two completely different states of matter.

[Rose has an explanation ready to go - it's not like that hasn't come up before.]

Have you ever held a crystal up to the light? And the light passes through it and bounces off of it and makes a glow and beams of light? The part that's me is the crystal, but the light around it I can manipulate into a 'body'. Like...like a hologram!

Oh...I've seen "holograms" in movies...

[He's squinting a little while he tries to make sense of what she's saying. Lady this sounds extremely weird and unscientific. But he guesses he might as well just...roll with it.]

[Wait, this is sort of familiar.]

I did know some kid who called herself a Peridot...

["Know" is a strong word.]

You did?!?!?!

[This is the first time Rose has heard even a hint of possible another Gem in this world.]

[WOAH LADY]

Yeah, a while ago! She's not here anymore, but she had a rock name and didn't know how anything worked so I guess she was probably one too.

...I'm assuming you have rock names. What's yours?

I'm Envy.

[rock names, meet sin names]

Not here any longer? Do you know what happened to her?

Yes, we all bear the name of our gem. I'm Rose Quartz. It's very nice to meet you, Envy.
