❛ Local artifacts? My stars, no! There aren't many artifacts in Beach City. We have plenty to do here though! Maybe you should occupy yourself with something like visiting the arcade instead? ❜
She gives the pink woman a nod, one foot kicking itself deeper into the sand as she leans ahead.
" It sure is. I'm just wonderin' what's behind that beauty to be honest withya. Y'wouldn' happen to know of any local artifacts up for grabs, wouldya? " She may not be entirely clear on WHERE she is - apparently, it's called beach city - but hell if that'll stop her from conducting some kind of money-making while she's at it.

❛ The Cosmic Owl? ❜ Her gaze shifts to the wall for a moment, lost in thought as she tries desperately to remember. Has she ever seen an owl before in her dreams? Not that she can recall, truth be told. ❛ Gemkind doesn’t really sleep, if I’m being honest. I’ve tried it out before but we have no need to. We are a superior species, you know. Organic beings like you… you waste so much time with things gemkind has no need for. Isn’t that quite silly? ❜ She certainly thought so, especially with the way a smile remains upon fuschia features. Organic beings were just so humorous, the way they came in all shapes and sizes. Some could speak, others could not; how utterly ridiculous. Perhaps it’s why they fascinated the matriarch so much.
Pink's attention returns to the other now. ❛ A colony is where we grow new gems for our courts. We send our injectors to the planet and they penetrate the ground, leaving behind everything necessary to grow new gems. And then one day, they just pop right out of the ground! It's so very exciting, don't you think? ❜ There was more to it than she truly knew, things Pink would find saddening and horrific.
"I… guess?" The wishmaster wasn't really sure on how to respond to that. From his Time Room, he'd been able to see many worlds and many beings. The Diamonds and their empire fell under that large umbrella, yet Prismo admittedly hadn't looked into it as much as he should've. Pink Diamond's mention of a colony made the wishmaster grit his teeth nervously. The little he did know about the Diamonds proved that colonies and the like were anything but peaceful. Such was life for an alien species, he supposed…
And it wasn't like he could nor would stop another colony being put in place. That wasn't his job. It'd only be his job if someone came to him and wished all the colonies away. That kind of a wish would need such extreme precision that Prismo doubted it'd even work.
At the very least, Pink Diamond seemed happy about it. Nothing hasn't really happened yet for her, so he shouldn't worry. His figure gulped the insecurities of the inevitable down for later. "But yeah, dreams are really something else. I have an… acquaintance that handles all that sorta biz. Ever seen the Cosmic Owl show up in any of your dreams? That's my guy." A part of him hoped she hadn't, or at the very least, not yet. His prophetic dreams would be rather useful if things started snowballing very fast and very catastrophically. Prismo had to have faith that she would do better than the other Diamonds.
"Since you were just talking about it, what does a colony… entail?" Prismo could absolutely find this out on his own, but her attitude and her own definition could speak louder than most words could. And, after all, this was kind of an ice breaker, even if this was one of the most heavy ways of handling it.
