Log Date: 1st Moon.

This is Peridot, sighing in for what I have been told is our first moon. I have not been keeping up with my Logs so I figured now that I have some sort of metric to work with (although the time measurement of the Moon still makes no sense since it doesn't seem to correlate with the lunar cycle) I will be giving updates on the following items.

First on the docket is the mystery that is Lapis, she had yet to unveil her reasons for pretending Paulet is the Camp Queen, it is obvious to me that this long con is very complex, when I asked to be let in on it she told me I was crazy, obviously a lie since Spinel slunk through the door mere seconds later and the two used our new snack supplies to prepare for a marathon together. Lapis is very clearly pulling Spinel deeper into her grasp, but I have yet to figure out why, further study is required.

Second on the docket, and far more confusing, this planet's Moon makes no sense! Sometimes it drifts across the sky normally only to star floating the wrong way and then sliding back into its proper orbit suddenly, sometimes within seconds, and one time floating the wrong way for over half the night! But when I pointed that out I was just told Luna was probably having a rough game. Even after writing that down and re-reading it those words make no sense in that order!

I asked Lapis if she would be willing to take the time to fly me up to the moon since I knew she could do it, and while she did seem interested in going on that expedition, we decided it would be best to wait for Bismuth and Spinel to be open to join us, that way we can take the snake table and set up the TV so we can watch some Camppining hearts on the trip.
We're hoping to go on this mission before the next moon (whatever the heck that measurement of time even is) and see if we can't figure a few things out, I'm fairly certain Luna is just the name of this world Moon. Still, the Apple ponies have been too busy for me to get enough time to get a proper questionnaire going, and Spinel has yet to get me an interview with the Princess Pony, so we may end up having to go to the moon for our answers.

Third on the docket, while I was questioning Bismuth on my plans for a visit to this planet's moon the conversation ended up moving towards her plans to build a forge after she mentioned she'd like to take some of the moon's rocks to craft into decorations for it. I, of course, was thrilled to hear this, after we were sucked into this vortex, as much as I'd miss Steven, I get the odd feeling we aren't properly who we are, so I imagine we were split and left behind either exact copies are ourselves the actual copies, either way, I'm glad the others have accepted that going back would be a nightmare of untold proportions, not to mention how odd it would be to get back and find out we never left, there can only be one Peridot, or at least only one of this Peridot if nothing else.

Bismuth said she plans to start with a simple above-ground forge for the Farm but is thinking of locating a different spot outside the Orchard to set up her proper forge, while I do appreciate the Apple Ponies' hospitality, I don't wish to be bound by farm work forever, so I imagine I'll find my own spot of land to call home.

Preferably close to Bismuths Forge so that I don't have to build any structures myself.

Fourth and Final on the Docet I just got the news that Spinel and Lapis have once again fused, and talk has been spreading that Lapis was the one who instigated the fusion over something as trivial as fighting a bear. Now I'm no expert but I think Spinel could take a normal old bear, even if it was big and flying (Who knows what Spinel meant by that she probably threw it or something)

But this report of Fusion and Lapises odd behavior around Spinel has led me to believe that Lapis has the hots for the Pink Slinky, personally, I don't get it but hey to each their own, Spinel certainly seems more than willing to let it happen. Although Lapis still seems unsure about it, which is odd since she seems to be the one egging Spinel on, I asked Bismuth about it and she just laughed, she to had noticed the odd behavior and has formed her own hypothesis, a very reasonable one, obviously, Lapis pretended to side with Spinel over her Paulet delusions, and now that she has Spinel slowly wrapped around her finger she just has to get Spinel to see that Percy and Pier are the obvious superior match, following that Lapis will obviously accept Spinel as her partner, a long con but one I can respect.

And with that, I have concluded my Log for this Moon, (still unsure as to what that measurement of time means but I'll figure it out with time) And with that, I sign this message off to my loyal followers, all three of you, and would like to remind you that, no I am not a fanfic writer, I am simply sending these messages to your timelines Communications net via the aid of a magical creature of unfathomable origins, and also no I do not need your assistance with editing my writing is flawless.
