Third Person Omniscient.

The next day, Spinel was summoned to Moonlight's conference room after she made sure the boy had breakfast. It appears that Spinel is Moonlight's personal servant, like a pearl but given special treatment, since she was given orders by Moonlight to make sure her pet eats.

She isn't sure if this was an improvement from being treated like a toy, or worse. But so far, Moonlight has spoiled her with all sorts of nice and expensive things to give her reasons to stay in her building.

She knows Spinel definitely has the capability to leave the building, so she has to find a way to make the jester stay without physically forcing her to. Though, Moonlight could always strap on a collar to the clown and work with that - but that could interfere with Spinel's thinking prowess and hinder it useless.

Spinel finds it kind of touching that Moonlight hadn't done anything terrible to her yet, hopefully she won't change her mood once she finds a way to free the boy.

In the conference room, Spinel was surprised to see other gems who work in Crystal Entertainment in the conference room with the big bad gem herself - she honestly thought that this meeting was about Steven.

Perhaps Moonlight thinks there's other uses for Spinel's incredible thinking skill.

It just occurred to Spinel that there's a legitimate reason for Moonlight rewarding her so much just so she could use her smart mind. Moonlight's intelligence was overlooked during the past and it didn't change what other gems thought about her - even the Diamonds.

So to make sure she wouldn't be a hypocrite, she will reward Spinel much more than what she would normally pay her common worker. The jester wonders if Moonlight finds her intelligence attractive, like it would be some sort of kink.

Anyways, Spinel nervously took a seat at the end of the long horizontal table, with Moonlight being at the other end so they could stare at each other. Various gems sat down on their left and right, some fidgeting with items and some waiting patiently for the meeting to start.

Spinel noticed a bottle of Crystal Wine within her reach - stretching-wise - and tried to grab it. Maybe some liquor would ease her nerves.

"Don't touch that." Moonlight quickly commanded, making the clown flinch. "That'll dull your senses and I need you to be frosty."

"Sorry..." Spinel murmured before shrinking in her chair.

"It's alright." Moonlight's kind voice was actually sweet to hear... if you ignore the fact she eats people. "Anyway, today's meeting is about the new music show. I need big ideas, and some singers. The vocals, I can acquire with a few more auditions. But I need ideas for the show! Y'know? Some really cool and original ones. Everyone, spout out an idea if you have any. I'm all ears."

Then she leans back in her chair, propping her boots on the desk and waits.

Everyone was left to their thoughts. Spinel was unsure what she should do, or think. She knew she had to think of a way for the boy to escape and would also be very hesitant to aid Moonlight in hurting Steven, but brainstorming ideas for a music show?

Would that be okay to do? Nobody could get hurt from that, right?

"I have one." A gem raised her hand, which stopped Spinel from thinking. "How about her?"
