Meeting Pearl

Message from author: Sorry I made a mistake in her description so I added to it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I reached my hand out and touched the pearl which then began to glow in a unique grey colour and float in the air before taking the form of a wavy clam shell. It then asked me.

"Please Identify yourself."

Don't want to make the same mistake as Greg.

"Black Diamond."

It responded in turn with.

"Hello Black Diamond, would you like to use the personalization settings or have the default which would calibrate for you?"

Default that calibrates to me? Might be because I'm in Era one and no "preferences" have been properly surveyed yet. Since I want her to be natural I should just go with the default.

"Default please."

The clam shell began to lower itself to the ground and opened to reveal a shining white silhouette and a gem that began to move and center in the middle of her forehead and her hair and clothing began to take shape. When everything was in place the light faded and Pearl's form was shown.

She has a similar skin tone to mine being a light ash grey colour, with a slightly darker shade of lips that outline her mouth, black eyes, black nails, and an asymmetrical straight bob cut that is shorter behind her head that gradually becomes longer as it goes to her sides.

She seems to be wearing a white full sleeve dress shirt with two rows of lines on each side down the middle, a black vest with gold buttons that hugs her body, with the middle button connecting to a chain that connected to what I assume to be a pocket, a black tie that hangs comfortable around her colour and over her B-cup breasts and disappears into her vest, a small black belt below her left shoulder, white wrist length silk gloves, black dress pants, and black oxford shoes.

Basically a gender bent Black Butler outfit.

Dang! Since it was made based on my preferences, I either got style or I'm a bigger weeb than I thought.

Pearl then came out of her daze of being formed and stepped off of the clam shell which disappeared into glitter. She then came in front of me, bowed with her head lowered, and began to introduce herself. She introduced herself in a calm and composed voice.

"Hello and greetings my Black Diamond, thank you for bringing me into existence and I would ensure to bring my utmost effort in serving the Great Diamond Authority. Ahh...."

However near the end of her speech she looked up to me and saw my resting face with the same passive expression that Senior White usually has in the comics. She trailed off in her speech and I saw a dark coloured blush quickly bring itself in her cheeks. I wonder how that worked? We don't have an organic body but Gems are still capable of having organic reactions. It was a plot hole in the show and a paradox in real life. I can figure this out when I'm training.

Taking my mind off that and seeing how she is quickly losing herself in my beauty and Fufufufing at this sentence I quickly intervene and ignore her slip up and offer a smile.

"It's nice to meet you Pearl and I hope we can have a long relationship."

Saying that I bend down and squat on my knees and stretch out my right hand in order to form a hand shake. Shaking herself out of her stupor, Pearl hears my words and grabs my pointer finger with both hands in her attempt to do a handshake, however the dark coloured blush remains on her face.

"It is my honour to serve you my Diamond and I hope to meet your expectations."

It seems like it's going to take time for her to see past the programming that was inscribed into her. It's a good thing that time is the one thing I have in excess for now. Getting the greeting out of the way I pull my hand back and stand back up. Pearl held her hand together in front her below her where her belly button would have been and waited for her order with her eyes closed. Probably in an attempt to stop blushing, which seemed to work.

I then said.

"Well Pearl, I have spent enough time adjusting to this world and now I'm spending the rest of the month training myself."

I slightly increase my smile.

"Will you help me?"

"Of course my Diamond, anything for you."

"Good, we have work to do. For now go and get the equipment necessary for target practice and other machines used for training. Do you know where to go?"

"Yes my Diamond, the knowledge was already given to me so I know how to best serve you."

I nod my head in appreciation which Pearl assumed to be acknowledgement and watched as pearl turned around and left the room. I then sat back on the throne and began to look through the BDL for martial arts and methods that would best suit me, while I waited for Pearl.

P.E.A.R.L'S P.O.V

As my existence began to finish taking form I adjusted myself to my new appearance. Strange? This choice of clothing and appearance seems different from the usual selection provided by the reef. However, since it was built based on my Diamond desires it must be higher class than the open selection. As I began to do my formal greetings to my Diamond I began to look up.

Her face was beautiful, far more radiant and splendid than the images that were implanted into my brain. If I was a biological life form I would have suffocated myself in order to look at her (she means that Black Diamond is breathtaking). I did however begin to stutter and trail off.

What have I done!! I'm meant to be the perfect servant and tool for my Diamond. I must not do anything that may inconvenience or displease her! Just as I was waiting for my punishment to ensue or at the very least a tongue lashing, my Diamond instead chose to ignore it. It would make sense, why would such a higher being care for the likes of me?

However, just then she chose to bend down from her level and reached her hand out in greeting. I know this ritual, it was a mannerism that was instilled into me. I can at least prove my worth, no matter how miniscule. As I held her finger with both of my hands I lost myself in the endless black of her finger nail. I didn't realize that I was blushing and quickly put my head down.

She pulled back her hand and began to stand up. I knew that I would be forever lost in the beauty of her stature so I closed my eyes so that I may perform efficiently. As she listed her demand I responded fluently, closing my eyes did help! More importantly I have an entire month to serve her! To have her to myself!

Wait what am I saying! I am just a tool for her will, I should not look past this. However as I exited her room and began my task she delivered bestowed upon me. All I felt was pain from leaving her, for not looking at her. There was a pressure in my chest. Am I damaged or broken? Or is she just too brilliant for anyone who sees her?

For now I must do what I can for her. Even if it hurts me, I would do it for her.
