The Barn hums with the low thrum of Peridot’s laptop. Sunlight catches the dust motes dancing around her now-significantly larger frame. One month of human consumption has transformed the tiny Gem; her uniform strains against a soft, distended belly and newly developed curves. Lapis watches from the corner, a faint blush on her cheeks as Peridot shifts, her thighs rubbing together with a soft squish. Peridot holds up her tape recorder, the red light blinking like a heartbeat. She adjusts her glasses, looking down at her massive midsection with a mix of scientific curiosity and genuine delight. The air is thick with the scent of processed snacks and ozone. She presses play, the static crackling before her voice, slightly breathless, fills the room.
