Diamond | Land of the Lustrous

A. THE TERRACE

[it's beautiful here.

Diamond was laid out on the grass, eyes closed as they peacefully listened to the sound of the wind and whatever else might be going on, a small smile on their face. In the sunlight they glitter and glow, their iridescent hair and eyelashes sending rainbow lights scattering along the ground.

It's nostalgic, so Dia allows themselves to soak it in. They can't be upset over this new development--after all, Dia and their kind went centuries without any changes. Something like this was novel. The idea of being able to change was too enticing for Diamond to pass up.

But for now they were content to relax, at least until they hear people coming closer.

Their eyes open--the same iridescent color at their hair and nails--and they sit up, turning to see whoever is approaching. Eagerly they climb to their feet, hurrying over
] Excuse me! You're a human, aren't you? Wow, I've never seen one up close before. You're so cute!

[Regardless of how you might actually look, Diamond, at least, thinks you're adorable...And is currently circling you and fawning over you like you were an animal. It's fine. Probably.]

B. Sleeping Chambers

[Somewhere, there is an unearthly glowing. If you follow it to its source, it appears to be...a person?? Just on the ground??

Diamond lays curled up on their side, their hair seeming to glow with its own light as they nap. If you try to touch them, you'll find their body unnaturally hard and freezing cold, much like putting your hands on a cold rock. Their 'skin' is also not that at all, but a powder that won't be coming off anytime soon, but done in a way to give the illusion of skin.

They barely stir though, seeming content to just lay there and doze, but... Surely that's not good for them, right? If anything, the glowing might be obnoxious and distracting at least...
]

C. Dungeons
[At some point on this misadventure, Diamond's arm has gotten broken.

But, like. Literally. In half.

But the effect is rather gorgeous, once you get over the fact that Diamond is currently wandering around with a jagged point just past their elbow, sparkling like, well, diamonds, and they're carrying the pieces and their hand in a bag.
]

Um, excuse me? Could you give me a-- [Diamond at least has the grace to look sheepish as they wave the bag] A hand? Haha! I need to make sure I got all the pieces, but I can't open it so easily with only one hand...
