So apparently I got drafted into some sort of weird interdimensional space war, except the aliens who wanted us to fight with them were these sentient rock women who all had names based on what type of rock they were? At least, I remember a girl named Peridot. And then we also had a Garnet and... Amethyst? And then Jasper. I'm assuming there are others, but I kind of fo- wait. Pearl.

But there were totally others.

They had all sorts of weird advanced alien tech stuff, but because they were all rock-based they kind of all had to work with their rocks, and... I guess that's why they stuck the rock in?

Different rocks have different powers. But they had like, bodies and shit so they could walk and talk, it's just that if you got too fucked up in the body you'd go all poof and go back into your gem until you could respawn, but you could shapeshift your body into whatever the fuck you wanted.

[ She demonstrates this by elongating her arms until they get so noodly they reach the floor, then retracting them back to normal length. ]

Except I can't hold that forever. After a few hours I'm just gonna go back to whatever I decided was my default body? But if you get poofed, you can regenerate back into whatever kind of body you want and it'll stick.

I uh, kind of abused this once.

I was a lot shorter in my natural body, so when I found this out I decided to throw myself down the stairs.
