Phos is acting strange

*Phos looks around and spots the snail that ate her, almost falling off the operating table to get it*

"YOU!"

"Hold it! I just put you back together!"

*The snail dodges Phos and lands on the bowl Dia is holding*

"Okay!"

"Now!"

"Do it!"

" "I'm sorry" "

*Both Dia and the snail bows to Phos in apology*

-

-

*Everyone gathered around and started praising the snail*

"Look, it's smarter than Phos"

"It's cuter than Phos!"

"Shut up!"

*Phos continues to attempt to capture the snail, as everyone begins to disperse to their rooms*

"Ugh, I'm sleeeeepy"

"That's that I guess"

"How energetic"

"I'm glad"

*Dia stands in front of Phos with a smile on her face*

"No way! Dammit!"

"You little! Get chopped up by Sensei!"

*Phos and the snail stop playing tag for a second*

"Huh?"

-

"Of course it isn't okay!"

-

"That doesn't mean it's okay for you to just eat whatever's in front of you!"

-

"Nooo, that isn't an excuse"

-

"That doesn't make me happy!"

*Rain, Euclase, Rutile, Dia and Jade look at each other in worry, as Phos continues to talk to no-one*

"I said"

*Dia bends forward a little towards Phos with a worried look on her face*

"Phos"

"Who are you talking to?"

*Phos looks at Dia, Rain, Jade, Euclase and Rutile in confusion*

"Huh?"

----POV change Sensei----

*While Sensei is "Meditating" he falls asleep and dreams that he is surrounded by Lunarians. So he begins to put his hands in a prayer position, but before he does he awakes from his dream. And opens his eyes in shock*

"Ah"

"I must have been dreaming, that was close"

"I've overslept"

*Sensei gets up from his cushion and starts walking the halls as he runs into Jade*

"Oh, Sensei! You're awake?"

"Jade"

"How long was I sle... Meditating?"

"About a full day"

"I see..."

*Sensei pats Jade on the head*

"I apologize for taking so long, please, give me your report"

"Yes, Sir!"

"The Lunarians appeared near the Cut Field and above the school at almost the same time around noon, two of them..."

*Sensei gets an angry look on his face*

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"That is! Before I could, both were"

*Bortz walks forward from their spot next to a pillar, as Sensei looks towards them*

"I got rid of them"

"Wasn't it quite a distance to travel from the field to the school?"

*Sensei pats Bortz on the head in praise*

"You always exceed my expectations, Bortz. However, things like these are uncommon. Don't overwork yourself"

"I haven't"

*Sensei, Jade, and Bortz start walking down the hall*

"Was everyone alright?"

"Yes... In the end"

"That's fine then"

"...Err, Red Beryl says he wants you to check the strength of his new cloth, and also..."

"Euclase dropped part of the patrol plans for the next month and beyond in the pond, so he'd like a chance to speak with you"

"I see"

"In addition..."

----Pov change Phos----

*Phos is crouched down near the pond with Ventricosus*

"I, Ventricosus, am the ruler who leads all Admirabilis"

*Phos with a spaced out and happy look tosses Ventri into the pond*

"Show so-"

*Splash*

"Ouch!"

"Stop!"

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"Plebeian Jellyfish!"

"Don't touch me!"

*Ventri fights off the jelly fish and climbs out of the pond*

"Dang, I was hoping you'd get even smaller"

"Hehe"

"I originally lived in the waters near here"

"My true form is supposed to be the preciously small"

"My race, who have beautiful shells, were all taken away by the Lunarians. After being fed the Moon's sweet water and sand in captivity for so long, we grew gigantic and eventually lost our minds"

"My comrades, are still being kept on the moon this very moment"

"Isn't it sad?"

"Well... If that's true, then I guess I could sympathize with you... Kinda... Maybe..."

"But more importantly, why am I the only-"

*Two gems stop at a doorway near Phos as they start talking about her*

"Phos..."

"She's talking to herself... Poor thing"

*Yellow Diamond, Zircon, Sphene, Neptunite, and Benitoite run past Phos while she is sitting on the ground*

"How are you feeling?"

"Don't overwork yourself"

"Maybe the Encyclopedia project was too much of a burden for you after all..."

"Get help BEFORE you have a nervous breakdown"

"Let's all play cards together tonight, okay?"

*Ventri starts whistling at the passing gems*

*Whistle*

*Whiiiiiiistle*

"The only one! Since I started hearing your voice, everyone treats me like I'm sick! What are you gonna do about this?!"

"Guy, I sure was surprised, I didn't know this kinda thing happened"

"Argh, I'm already famous for being useless. Why'd you have to go and eat me of all people?"

"Your color just made you look so tasty"

*Dia and Rain run past a now face down on the ground Phos, as Ventri waves at them*

"Phos, are you okay?"

"I'm sure Rutile will fix you"

"Hey! My Diamonds!"

"No"

"Don't worry, don't worry"

"Guy, this sure is a great country, there's nothing but cuties everywhere I look"

"Contrary to my appearance, I like Prim types."

"Liiike... That little guy with the looooong black hair, o and the Diamond with the four long tails"

"The little red one in the night, too. I liked him"

"!"

*Phos shoots their head up in suprise as they look at Ventri*

"You saw Cinnabar?"

"And my my my, he's such a smart little thing, too. He took one look at me and figured out right away that you were stuck in my shell"

"It's thanks to him that you were able to come back"

*Phos slumps down in sadness*

"He saved me... Again..."

"That's no good, that's bad"

"Hehe... I get it, you don't want to be uncool in front of him, right?"

"Huh? What the heck? It's not that"

"Cinnabar probably told me and only me his secret. I don't know why, but... I don't want to think he'd tell just anyone"

"It's the first time... Anyone's ever relied on me for anything y,see"

"That's why, next time, I need to be the one who helps him"

*Phos stands up with a new-found fire*

"Alright"

"I'm gonna start trying my hardest already"

"Me too, me too"

"You go sightseeing or somethin"

*Rutile walks up behind them and grabs her arm, as Phos looks at her in surprise*

"I"

"Am going to take you apart and put you back together one more time"

*Phos tries to struggle out of Rutile's grip, but fails and throws the bowl with Ventri in it at her*

"Take this!"

*Rutile catches ventri with her foot and kicks it and sends it flying through the air*

"I won't let you escape"

"These are"

"Doctor's orders!"

-----POV change 3rd person-------

A snail that eats rocks,hm..."

"Yes"

"So"

*Ventri falling from her flight lands smack dab on Sensei's head*

*Splat*

*Everyone stops talking, as Jade gets a nervous look on her face, and Rutile turns around and walks away*

'This is gonna become my fault"

'I'm so sorry, Cinnabar this is it for me'

*Sensei now staring at the snail on his head starts talking, as the other gems are trying very hard not to laugh out loud, and ventri tries to smooch and eat him*

"Oh, my, what a hottie"

"Oh! I can't chip away at him?!"

"This,hm"

----Time skip Sensei's office----

*Ventri is on Sensei's desk while Phos is translating what she says*

"I see, ruler of shells"

"While you may be different from us, shells are yet another kind of jewel. We welcome you"

"What do you intend to do now?"

"Please go out with me"

"It says it wants to be your underling"

"That can't be done..."

*Ventri tries to attack Phos while they block with a stool*

"Our relationship should be a friendly one, on equal terms"

*Sensei bends down to get a closer look at Ventri, as she tries to kiss him*

"Even I can vaguely tell that it seems friendly, but..."

"You're the only one who can understand the ruler's words, accompany it as part of your work"

"Oookay..."

*Phos looks away with a contemplating look then looks back*

"Sensei, about Cinnabar..."

"Does he really have to do such a pointless job?"

"He might not be harmless, but he's very talented, and... He's saved me twice, even though I'm useless, isn't there anything else"

*Sensei closes his eyes*

"Forgive me, I still have yet to find a solution"

"And... Patrolling the night is something that child thought of on his own"

*Sensei goes into a flash back while still talking to Phos*

"I tried to convince him many times that he has worth just by being alive, however..."

"He is to wise and too kind, to sit and do nothing but breathe"

"I can't take away from him the role he finally managed to come up with"

"However, as a result, I've locked him away in the night"

"It is entirely the fault of my doubts and ignorance"

"Please wait just a little longer for a solution, we're beings that are too complicated to simply live, but formulate, we also have an excess of time. It may feel like an eternity, but so that you may come to his aid when the time is right"

"For now, fulfill your own duty"

-----Time skip Cut Fields-----

*Phos is laying in the Field near the beach with Ventri*

"There... Might be nothing I can find for Cinnabar"

"In this country, perhaps"

-

*Phos perks up at what Ventri says*

"Let's go to the ocean"

~Alright~

~alright~

~alright~

~alright~

*Phos approaches and scoops Ventri into the bowl, so she can violently shake it*

"Oh, come on"

"So what you're saying is have some fun and forget about it, Moron?"

"That's not what I said"

"Now that I've slimmed down and my mind has freshened up,I,be remembered my garden, there are people much like yours in the ocean"

"Like us... In the ocean?"

"Well, it might give you some kind of hint. You can do your work and take a break at the same time, you'll even get an adorable guide to go along with you"

*Phos sneaks up on the wandering Ventri and traps her under the bowl*

"Oh noooo, this snail's trying to be thoughtful! Thanks, ruler coo!"

"Ruler Ventricosus!"

*Phos looks at the Shore while standing up*

"The ocean is off limits but... Well I'm useless anyway"

"I guess I could try taking the risk"

-------Time skip------POV change Rain--------

*Euclase walks towards the medic corner while Rutile is making powder and Rain is taking inventory*

"Good morning Rain, Rutile"

"Morning"

"Oh?"

"Euclase you're up early"

"Sooorry to bug you when you're so busy. I wanna take a dip in the pond is that ok...?"

"Oh, yes, let's put some anti saltwater resin on you so your powder doesn't wash off"

"Good thing you asked first, last summer was too hot so we weren't able to harvest much powder flower, on the other hand last winter was very cold, so we have plenty of tree resin"

"Huh, I didn not know that"

"Are you still looking for the documents that fell in during the snail incident?"

"They've probably already been eaten by the jellyfish, but just in case, it's a waste of paper, after all"

"you are so serious"

"Rain could you pass me the Resin?"

"Yes let me get that for ya"

*Rain looks for the Resin, while Euc and Rutile keep talking*

-

-

*Euclase starts getting undressed*

"Am I?"

"Yesterday and today have been so peaceful, the sunlight is delicious too"

"I wonder if it's beacuse Sensei is awake"

"It's been very busy recently, after all. To think we'd have visitors from the moon twice in once day..."

"In the two thousand one hundred and seventy three years I know, the average amount is once every three days"

"I wonder, if something has changed"

*A now naked Euclase starts looking out into the Field while waiting to get resin*

"I guess, we might be surprisingly dense"

"We're not as sensitive as the plants are to things like how hot summer is or how cold winter is, we can't become sensitive to danger like insects, either"

"Maybe it's because we're immortal"

"As a result, I suppose it doesn't disturb us even if others change a little"

"I'm more delicate than the others, so it's a little scary for me, by the way... Rain are you still looking?"

"well, you see..."

"I can't find it!"

*Both Euc and Rutile look at Rain in shock*

""HUH?""
