| An Extraordinary Human For An Ordinary Diamond |

"And here we are, Alexandra." Blue stood up, her cobalt and uncannily inhuman pupils laying down on her smaller Pearl. I clambered onto her thumb. "Pearl, disable this ship whilst I take Alexandra down."

"Yes my Diamond." And with that, she was off. Her little feet moved very quickly, and she never seemed out of breath. I wonder, is oxygen a need here? Crap...

I snapped my neck up with that single thought. She looked down at me, her expression turning to concern. "Is everything alright?"

I immediately replied. "Does this world have oxygen?"

She paused for a moment. "Homeworld does, why?" I sighed a little, as a tiny bit of my near-red-zone anxiety was chipped off. "Nevermind."

Blue just nodded. She began walking as I bounced about, clung onto her thumb. She continued to hold her palm out and open when we crossed a window.

Futuristic light beamed a beautiful green, a pink sky behind at the top. To the bottom, four giant diamonds laid. The top one was pink, followed by a yellow and blue one on each side, then at the bottom a white diamond. Four diamonds, all named after colours. It made sense now; the Diamonds were some form of authority on this world. They grew larger as we approached them... wait, what?

That's when I realised; somehow we were walking downwards. Literally. My idea was confirmed as when I turned to my right, nothing but sheer white metal beamed. I kept an eye on certain features and saw them move as the ground grew bigger; we were definitely moving downwards.

This just confused me. A, how was I not dead and B, how did I not notice? The brain has a certain part that tells you where you are in relative to gravity, and that's how you know you are there. Kinda like how you know you're under a blanket; that's what that part of the brain also allows you to know.

This made me think. It is after all a feature of autism for someone to be unaware where they are in space, and I am one such example to such a degree. I'd have to ask Blue fully about it later, as this only answered a small portion of my question.

I also wasn't one to get motion sick, but this walking downwards was really beginning to mess with my mind and make me feel a little bleh. To counter this, I closed my eyes. Blue continued not to say anything as she carried me. This didn't ease my feeling though.

We continued walking down until we finally changed direction. I opened my eyes; from the window, we were no longer walking inverted but now walking across. All the corridors here were grey with the same emblem as I saw before; the four diamonds, that symbol. The only difference was that the white and pink diamonds had swapped places. We turned a junction before continuing down onto a ramp, heading outside.

It was an amazing sight to behold, crowds cheered at us and lights gleamed in all directions, to the point it hurt my eyes if I looked at it too long.

It was like the wildest party ever, except you were having a migraine that pounded constantly in your head and made you noise and light sensitive. All of that add you didn't know anyone around you except one extremely tall person that had to duck under doors to access certain parts of the building. That's the best way to describe the madness that unfolded in front of my eyes. And I've seen things.

Pearl suddenly joined us and I was put down behind her. We began walking to the blue diamond. We reached there and I was told to sit back, so I did.

A middle section had been cleared with carpet and suddenly, a light voice boomed. "Behold, the magnificent grace that is, Blue Diamond!"

Blue walked elegantly down the hall. I just watched in amazement. The crowd smiled, shoulder to shoulder, as Blue passed them.

"Behold, the luminous, luscious, Yellow Diamond!" This voice sounded incredibly cocky and arrogant. I partially expected it to be the Grinch whom had said that, but it wasn't.

The huge yellow lady appeared, when suddenly you were shoved back behind the chair. You turned to see Pearl and Amazonite to be the people who pushed you. "What are you doing?"

You asked, looking at their worried expressions. "Saving you from her."
