Royal Blue T.B. Pearl (Rina AU)'s Links
"Rina? Rina's nice but cold! However... It's OK!" / Though expecting Finn's come back or safety one way or another, she certainly was shocked when she returned... just a little bit different. Please don't get her wrong; it's not anything bad. Her opinion of her beloved hasn't changed in the slightest bit, just a lot of confusion. In her eyes, it seemed as if he changed *completely*, enough to the point where he could not recognize her. And, of course, it didn't get the best reaction out of a Lia completely unaware of the events that happened to him during his rundown at Greenhouse. Perhaps she should've expected this after her letters stopped being replied to and his messages came to an end, making his disappearance even more clear. However, that didn't happen. With the undying spirit of love, Lilia continued to wait and hold onto the bracelet they made together tight. Just hoping that one day, *maybe* they'd be reunited and be able to hold hands and lay their head on each other's shoulders just like before. And that day came, but partly. Sometimes, when looking at him, Lia can see the same old Finn with his casual attributes. Yet, he changed. There was something done to him. If only she was there. She could've protected him. It wasn't his fault, he did nothing. He didn't deserve to be tainted with Homeworld's grotesque idealistics. So, now she's here to witness the true horrors of how life-changing influence really is. And, just like Finn did before with her, will help the best she can. It doesn't matter if they have to get closer again, she'll be of assistance. That, while also establishing boundaries and making sure no sort of unhealthy dependence is established. But what matters most is she'll be there for him. She'll be there for Rina.
``She talks too much.`` A pearl he happens to meet during his stay in one of the public open reefs. There's little to comment on Royal outside of her talkative nature and curious demeanor. He finds her some sort of an oddball, a sort of--pest if you will. If a gem wanted to soar high, it must leave behind unnecessary baggage and burdens. Rina has no use in associating himself with a defect, and yet--her presence provides some sort of...odd comfort. it is comforting, but also repulsive as it is strange. He'll lend Royal a hand should she need it, but all else has no reason to initiate a bond. There's something about her that seems...desperate. Like there's something she wants from him, but Rina is unsure what. But alas, everyone wants something out of everyone. That's just the way of the world. It's a give-and-take. Perhaps there is something he could...gain.
Royal was one of the few people who tried to communicate with Estri through her cell during the project. She was also one of them who watched him transform into a horrid monster. However, she doesn't remember.
Estri was Royal's friend back then. She helped him soothe down his overheating attacks, especially with her comforting glow. Similar to her, he doesn't remember anything.
"I promise, your excellence, I'm the one fit to serve you! It's even in the files! It might not seem so, but trust me, I'll prove it to you one day! I'd give my life up for you no matter what! This project will be no hard task, hmph!" / Royal always held herself worthy and avoided digging herself into an unhealthy hole. While sure, his words were extremely harsh, she always found a bright side of things. "Overly optimistic", some called Bathypterois.
"I know the files. Now, zip your mouth and start coding." / Star Peridot was a much smaller Peridot compared to the other bunch, while also being off-colored. This brought him plenty of trouble in the working field. It was extremely hard to obtain a commissioned pearl for him, but his hardworking nature brought it anyway. It was an extreme disappointment when it turns out his packaged duo ended up being *an extremely defective ONE*. And of course, his anger only turned worse, lashing out at his pearl whenever possible. Even the smallest mistake was something he'd haunt her with. Somehow, Royal always kept going. An exact mirror of his personality, but he hated it. He hates seeing his mirror come to reality. It wasn't public, but he always held a grudge against her.
"He's my friend. He helped me since day one! If it wasn't for him comforting me since I felt lonely, I don't think I would be here!"
"I don't see where this "reward" thing comes from. If she keeps taunting the dog, it will bite. It's only time before her foolishness kills her. Perhaps I should exploit that before anyone does. Plus, nobody is there to protect her; nothing to worry about. Pure prey."
