I'm going to the planet below sometime soon when I feel like it. This is an open offer to anyone to come with me. Just know that I refuse to guarantee anyone's safety, so if you can't survive in space without oxygen or on unknown planets with unknown atmospheres, you might wanna reconsider coming along.

Also I can only bring like, three people, because I don't feel like carting around more than three of you. [She holds up exactly three fingers.]

Other than that, I'll need someone to look after Pumpkin while I'm gone. She's very important to me so if you screw up I'll make you regret it.

[As if on cue, an extremely adorable sentient pumpkin jumps up onto Lapis' lap, looks into the communicator, and barks.

And then licks the screen. Enjoy your pumpkin kisses, station.]

[ooc; i'll probably rng if more people wanna go and have Lapis hit them up privately!]

I need air, but I'd be willing to go in a space suit if you'd take me. I know what I'm getting into.

[ He isn't sure that it's even any more dangerous than a lot of the other things he's done and that's okay. If someone has to take a risk, he'd rather it be him. ]

Otherwise, I hope you'll take something with you so that you can stay in communication with the rest of us.

[mirrortide]

And what happens if there's not a breathable atmosphere on the planet and the space suit runs out of air?

[Like, just to be fair!]

But staying in contact is part of the reason i'm not going alone, so. You know.

[unshielding]

You've got me there.

[ She makes a good point and Steve is still half-tempted to argue for himself, anyway, but she's right. Someone like Apollo would be much better suited to an environment like that and a lot more likely to come back alive. If there are people here who don't need to breath and they're willing to go, they're the better options. ]

I think that's smart. Take good backup with you and make sure you can keep each other safe. I'm sorry I can't help more, but if any of you want to do some extra training before you, I'd be happy to help with that.

[ He really hates feeling so powerless here. ]

[mirrortide]

Training? For what?

[Keep talking and Lapis is going to make him feel even more powerless. Sorry, bud.]

[unshielding]

Teamwork. Fighting. Whatever you might face down there.

[mirrortide]

[To that, Lapis leans on her hand.]

Thanks and all, but that won't be necessary. I'm perfectly capable of getting myself out of any tough situations. Gems are pretty sturdy.

[unshielding]

That's good to know. I've never met a gem before. Some of us train together in the gym if you ever want to join in. Maybe you could show us a few things.

[mirrortide]

Yeaaaah no thanks. We gems don't need training. We're made with everything we'll ever need to know.

Besides, my physical form is made of solid light and so there wouldn't be much point in doing anything like that anyway.

[unshielding]

Oh. Alright. Well, if you need an extra set of hands for anything, let me know.

[ Meanwhile, he'll be busy wrapping his brain around the concepts she just dropped into his lap. ]

For what it's worth, part of me was made, too.

[mirrortide]

I've got that covered with shapeshifting if need be. No extra hands needed here.

And for what it's worth, I'm entirely made with the bonus of no squishy meaty bits.

[unshielding]

[ The closest point of reference he has for that level of indestructibility is the Hulk, but it sounds like she really is pretty powerful. He'll keep that in mind. ]

Well, just stay safe down there. With luck, the next time someone goes down, we'll have a safe way for it to be a bigger group
