[Yes, for once Emile is actually using the video function. He's careful not to show his helmet, though, keeping the feed strictly on his arm and, dangling from his hand, a very nice blue-jeweled necklace.]

Now unless one of you got me this for my birthday, and you're a month late by the way, someone left this outside my door.

Why would someone do that?

audio;

[evaskullface]

Beats me. Probably dropped it by accident or something.

[hisoldgirl]

Does it hold some sort of import?

[evaskullface]

Looks shiny. Kind of thing you'd see in merchant sectors.

[i.e., something Emile's completely unfamiliar with.]

[hisoldgirl]

[that makes two of them]

Why not simply discard it, then?

[There's a long pause, cause that's a semi-valid question, actually.]

I don't get any responses, I will. Last thing I need's someone bitching at me cause I tossed out their favorite rock, though.

And hell, some people just like shiny rocks.

What's logical about likes and dislikes?

hologram;

[hisoldgirl]

It is a rock.

audio;

[evaskullface]

It's a blue rock.

I fail to see the import.

Sapphires ain't rare where you're from?

[Not that they're rare IN SPAAAACE, but the origin of Earth sapphires is rare enough for 26th century culture.

Or they just match dresses? Hell, Emile doesn't know.]

hologram;

[hisoldgirl]

Not particularly. I see no need for them, either.

[what's a ship supposed to do with precious stones, really?]

[evaskullface]

My thoughts exactly.

Most girls, though? Civvie girls, anyway? Eat it up.
