Lapis Lazuli | Steven Universe (CRAU) | Blue Team

Falling City - Once again she's in the middle of a chaos she doesn't want to be in.

If Lapis had her choice, she'd be far away from any of this -- off among the stars, maybe, somewhere under water . . . anywhere far away from brainwashing and screams and pain that isn't her own.

Instead, there aren't any stars . . . and even worse, she's found herself without water.

She'd prepared for this possibility on the train. Sought out others who could help, gotten access to a "ghost pouch" that could carry what she needed.

However, brainwashing didn't exactly allow for planning ahead or grabbing what was needed, and she finds herself without any of those carefully-laid plans. There's not even a backup in this world; it's not a real city. Any water is an illusion.

She has nothing. Jasper is still here and a very real threat. And with the city crumbling around them . . . so is everything else, for that matter. She needs water.

She lands on the rim of the roof of an apartment building that has partially crumbled -- that looks very much like something has taken a bite from it. She'll rest a moment, take in the surroundings from 360 degrees rather than the limitations she has even in the air.

So she resolves. But as she perches, a couple of powered civilians find her, and as quietly as they can manage, start to close in.

Evacuation - Water has been found.

Her own needs attended to, defenses recovered, Lapis could easily have carved out her own niche, waited for the fighting to fade. But she can't disregard the other passengers of the train as readily as she used to. They are prisoners, victims as she is, and a number have been kind.

She owes something.

Find her at the evacuation site, plying water against the monsters coming to attack you -- whether you're an anchor or fellow protector. If you're in trouble, she'll come . . . probably with an attack with too much power behind it.

You may get soaked.
