With a wide smile, Aurora stepped out of the library. At least she had some idea what the crystal was; very powerful and gravity based. She knew that technically she should bring it to some authority, but... this was too good a chance to do some research. And besides, if she did turn it in, it would probably just end up in some museum. Why waste its potential, when she could do something productive with this thing? In her distraction, she nearly bumped into another woman. At the last moment, she stopped and stepped back. "Oh. My apologies." |

Cassidy was still fairly out of breath from the experience. It'd been a while since she had to use that much magic at once, and the effects were starting to kick in. She was walking rather unsteadily, to the point where she almost bumped into another person sharing the street with her. "Hey! Watch where you're going, lady!" She says, then sighs. "Sorry, had a pretty bad day." Running her hand down her face, she has to contain a splutter when she sees the largest gemstone she's ever seen. "Hot damn, did you go rob a museum for that?" If that really was the answer, then she would have to kick herself she didn't find it first. |

Aurora shook her head, ready to tell this lady that oh no, it was quite alright, she hadn't been watching where she was going well enough. Then the lady mentions the crystal and she freezes up. Yeah. Okay. Why did she see fit to carry something like this out in the open? What, did she want to get mugged today? Oh right, better answer. "Oh, no, nothing of the sort. I was exploring a ruin with a tutor of mine and found it." A thought came to her, and she perked up. "Would you happen to know about these?" |

Cassidy gives a snort, turning her head to the sky. It just wasn't fair, was it? Some airhead student goes to a ruin and hits massive pay dirt, and she ends up having to run for her life. Wasn't that just damn typical? "Damn, you're one lucky girl. I've been exploring ruins for a good five years and I've never seen anything quite that big. Then again, I've made a pretty good showing for myself." With that, she pulls out four gems, holding them in the space between the fingers of her left hand. "Yeah, you could say I know a bit about them." Replacing the gems, she grins, mind already formulating what the best way to separate this girl from her gemstone. "Anything I can help with?" |

"I'm just trying to figure out exactly what it is, honestly. I spoke to a man at the library there and got some information, but... well, not enough to identify it." Aurora holds the stone in both hands, letting Cassidy take a good look at it. "It controls gravity, it seems, and it's composed of amethyst. And, as you could probably tell by the size, it's very potent. Do you have any ideas? Even just a deity to tie it to would help." |

Cassidy frowns. "Sorry hun, but I've always been more into the practical side of these things. I've never been one for the fluffy crap." Cassidy shakes her head. "You know what? I still can't believe it. You found this on a little trip? I'm surprised your tutor let you keep it, you look like a good girl who wouldn't just take pieces away from a ruin like that." Grumbling, she frowns. "What are you wanting to do with it? Please don't tell me you just want to mount it on top of your desk..." |

"Oh, okay. Thanks, anyways." Aurora pulls the crystal back a bit. "My tutor doesn't know I found this, either. If he did, it would be mounted on the Academy's wall of shiny rocks. I want to study it, see what I can come up with for it, and try to apply it to helping society. I think that's a much better use for it then being displayed like a regular gemstone." |

Cassidy laughs. "Oh, you're Academy. That makes things a lot more sense." The academy was still a bit of a sore spot with her, and that made her want to steal this girl's gem even more. Like hell was she going to let some Academy brat have that much power if she could do something about it. Grinning when she finds out about her little secret, she shakes her head. "Well, aren't you a naughty girl doing that. Still, it's definitely what I would do...maybe minus that part about helping society with it. That's a bit too noble for my taste. I wonder though...you come up with any ideas for it?" |

"I'm not exactly an expert on the possibilities of such a thing. It can create concentrated points of gravity anywhere I want; I'm certain that has some application." Aurora cocks her head. "Um... what do you mean that it makes more sense?" |

Cassidy shrugs. "Academy gets funding, resources, knowledge, all of that shit. Us freelancers have to get by with scraps by comparison, makes sense that they'd get the best picks. Just a fact of life, I guess." The girl's description of the gems power intrigued her. "Gravity, you say? Sheesh, most of the gems I've found are elemental-based. That's really interesting...almost makes me wonder what it was used for. 'Course, it makes me want to know what could be done with it even more." |
