[Aventurine watches as the movers bring his new statue into his garden. He recently bought a new house with a garden and it seemed a shame to keep it empty like it was. He'll figure out if he wants a statue or not later, but this one was decently priced for the quality and he is never going to say no to art of a pretty man where he can see it.

As the statue is placed down, Aventurine notices an odd device stuck on the back.]

Take that off, what the hell.

[At least a new garden is a change of scenery from his sculptor's home. And at least the man who purchased him is nicer to look at than the bastard who sculpted him and eventually stuck this accursed machine to his back, the one to keep him in place.

One of the movers scratches their head at the device and starts reaching for it to do just that, while the other looks over at Aventurine.]

The guy you bought it from said it should stay on, but he never explained why or anything. [Not that they're stopping their coworker from fiddling with the device to get it off without damaging the statue.] He actually refused to elaborate when I asked.

[Which is a bit sketchy now that they think about it.

If the statue could snort, he would.]
