User:Gems Across the Cosmos/Sandbox/Blue Diamond's Palanquin

Blue Diamond's Palanquin was an enormous carriage where Blue Diamond sat, traveled, and heard counsel from other Gems. It made its debut in "The Answer" during Garnet's flashback, and reappeared in "Steven's Dream". Blue Diamond's palanquin returned in "The Trial" and "Off Colors", being destroyed by Steven and Lars in the latter episode.

Description
The palanquin was a gazebo-like structure, with a decorated roof and translucent drapes. Blue Diamond was seated inside with decorative framing at her sides.

Abilities
When danger approached, the framing encircles the entire vehicle and its base grew spider-like legs and runs off to protect Blue Diamond. When Blue Diamond activates her ship, the spider-like legs retreated inside of the structure and it levitated towards the ship. Blue Diamond can then enter the palanquin, where it would float up into the palm of her ship.

"Steven's Dream"
Steven and Greg come across the palanquin while searching for Pink Diamond's palanquin. Steven tells Greg the one he saw in his dream was pink and broken down. Later in the episode, Blue Diamond goes into her palanquin with Blue Pearl, and it floats up, entering the palm of her ship.

"The Trial"
The palanquin was used as evidence by the defending Zircon in the court case of Rose Quartz shattering Pink Diamond. The palanquin was used by Steven and Lars to escape the trial while the Diamonds are distracted.

"Off Colors"
The episode begins after Steven and Lars had crashed the palanquin.
