Library, Wednesday
Peridot still wasn't entirely certain what the point of this holiday was, but she was aware that she had gotten flowers. 31 flowers, in fact, in various colors. All 31 of them, the roses and carnations alike, were tucked neatly into her hair. She had enough of it, after all, and no idea what to do with flowers besides. It made for a rather glorious flower crown, if Peridot did say so herself.
Pumpkin, not to be left out, also had the orange carnation that Summer had sent to her tied to her stem. She was keeping Peridot company today at the library, napping on top of the desk while Peridot sorted through books to put away, a silly little smile on her face.
This planet was so strange. But that was okay.

"Mostly it's shots of me and J.Lo goofing around," Tip admitted. "When it comes right down to it, even in invasions, people are still just . . . people."
no subject
"That sounds so... simple," she replied. "As of 'people are people' is something that ought to be a universal sentiment. It's... it's still new, for me."
no subject
"There are different ways for people to be people," Tip said slowly, parsing her thoughts out as she went. "Like . . . when the Homeworld was enacting their big plans, you were still doing your think in the Kindergarten, right? And here, while you're learning how other people are people, you're still using your art project to get pictures of the stuff you care about. I guess what I really meant was, people are always going to find a way to do their thing, whatever else is going on."
no subject
She frowned thoughtfully, instead.
"Once people know that doing their thing is an option, and once they have the freedom to, you mean?"
In the end, that had been her stinking point before Earth. Being people had never been an option.
no subject
"Well . . . yeah. And you enjoyed doing your work, didn't you? I know you're proud of how good at it you were. Even if you didn't have a choice in it, it's still part of what makes you you."
no subject
Which was something that would stay with her for a long while, whether Yellow deserved it or not.
no subject
"And that's part of what makes you the Peridot that we all know and love," Tip said. "Just because some people are complicated doesn't mean they aren't still people."
no subject
"I understand that now," she offered. "More easily than I did before, when a Peridot was just a Peridot and a human was just a human. I think I'm still picking up on the finer points, though."
no subject
"That's alright, so am I."
no subject
"Is that a part of people being people, too?"
no subject
"Man, I hope so," Tip said. "Because otherwise, every person I've ever met's got a big problem."
no subject
"Around here, would that really be so strange, though?"
She'd finally been on Earth long enough to understand that the island was strange, even by the standards of the rest of the planet.
no subject
"Faaaaiiiiir," Tip said, rubbing her mouth. "I'll take the strange around here over the stupid back home any day, though."
no subject
'Back home' kind of tried to blow her up.
no subject
"I kind of figured, yeah," Tip said. "But I don't mind if you want to say it anyway."
