Resting

As I went back to the Black room I had the Pebbles make a reclining lounge chair and layed down on it. It was surprisingly comfy for a chair made out of metal or is it because of my whole body type being made out of light and mass? Whatever, these past two months were exhausting! Sure I had fun training, learning, and playing god, but the real fun was when I was with Pink and the rest. I should visit them in a while and I should have some time until the Onyx testing period finishes.

I then turned my white eyes down and focused on the Pebbles currently moving about in the complex structure of my chair. These guys are adorable, always sneaking peeks at me when they think I'm not looking. I then used telekinesis to lift a few pebbles from their positions and lifted them to my eye level.

They were scared at first from flying for the first time, but they were quickly stunned and blushed at my beauty. Ok, since I will be staying in this room for the long term I begin to do a little trick with my Gem connection powers. Over my free time in training I tried to see if I could connect to Pearl without touching her and the result was… it didn't work.

But in my attempt to spread my consciousness to connect to Pearl I accidentally connected to a Pebble on the far side of the room. How does that work? Well I'm guessing the weaker the Gem the easier it is to connect to them without physically touching them. Makes sense since the Pebbles are at the bottom of the barrel.

I should improve over time but for now I connected to every Pebble in the room and as I did so black tendrils spread across the Pebbles bodies originating from their gems. I felt the familiar feeling of falling and found myself in a small room. I looked around, it was significantly different from Pearl's sandy beach and endless ocean. The walls seemed to be made of a dark type of concrete/cement, there were no doors or windows, and standing in front of me was a dark grey Pebble. However I felt strange.

The strange feeling was that I think I'm in multiple rooms at the same time. Since I entered multiple Pebbles I feel as though I'm in slight variations of the same room and I can interact with all of them. I stretched out my hand and made them accustomed to my looks before I quickly withdrew my influence and came back to the real world. Not even a second has passed.

I settled the Pebbles on my left palm before I began to speak.

"Hello, I do not believe that we have formally met. It's quite nice to see you and thank you for everything. I mean this to all of you." I indicated around the room.

The Pebbles in my hand were stunned and giggled slightly before pressing themselves against my fingers, probably in an attempt to hug. I felt a tap at the bottom of my chair and I realized it is a Pebble that seems to want to speak. I brought it to my eye level at a straight position before it did a diamond salute.

Now that I look closely it seems different from the rest of the Pebbles. It had its dark pebble gem right on top of its head, a black sundress with frills, grey skin, black eyes, and the end of its appendages were narrowed nubs. They had no toes or fingers.

Then to my surprise it began to speak! This was a first as the Pebbles seemed to have their own language and they never spoke in the show, at least not properly. This should also be the case according to the Homeworld data. They don't actually exist until the moment a Diamond actually steps into the room. My energy woke them up and they should function like worker cells of lesser Pearls.

"Greetings my oh so beautiful Diamond! On behalf of my associates we reciprocate your feelings and I hope we can continue like this in the future." Her voice was strong and authoritarian, like a CEO business woman.

Oh I get it now, she is a High Quartz Pebble. Since Pebble Gems are refined out of the minimum of the ground the most they can do is interact with small mechanisms. They'd be similar to nano machines if they were smaller. Even though she is a High Quartz, it only gives her the ability to speak and probably work better. Wouldn't mean much as it would only take the one out of a thousand into a two out of a thousand. I responded.

"Then you can be more casual when it's just us. I wouldn't mind if you guys came out and you can play with me or Pearl in the meantime."

I could hear a collective "oooh" and "ahhhh" come from around the room and I could see Pearl looking in adoration at the Pebbles that popped up around her. Quick reminder, my room is as big and long as a school by MY POV. So understandably it is significantly larger and contains more Pebbles than Pink's room.

The Pebbles that appeared are not appropriate to the current number that is available but I'll give them time. For now I spoke to the Pebble in the sundress.

"Seeing as how you seem to be the leader of this lot, I'll give you the name of Head."

I could see Head nod in a confused daze before she began to thank me and I addressed a message to both Pearl and her at the same time.

"Now Pearl, why don't you get to know the rest of the Pebbles. I'm going to be in an inactive state for the rest of the month, please don't disturb me and tell White."

Pearl responded enthusiastically.

"Yes my Diamond, please have a good rest."

I went inside my Gem and set a small part of my consciousness learning from the books of the Fallen on psychic development. Then I went to rest.
