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." |

"Magic isn't going to work." Aurora snarls as she raises her light-coated arm and takes the slash on it. The blade dissipates into nothing, and Aurora jabs two fingers at Cassidy's gut, ready to send a surge of light magic through her body. |

Cassidy's eyes widen as her knife disappears..nothing's been able to interfere with the Hephaestus Gem before. Looking down, she sees Aurora raise up her arm in a followup attack. "Nope! None of that!" Twisting around, Cassidy grabs ahold of Aurora from behind, then kicks her legs out from under her once more. Pushing her down onto the ground, she lifts up her head, gasping from both the exertion and the adrenaline of passed danger. "Well now....that was a bit scary, wasn't it? Good thing all that funny business is out of the way." Pushing her down onto the metal fire escape, she pulls out a real, metal knife. Don't want her pulling that magic nullification on her again. "I don't believe you can do all that without gemstones, so I think you're going to tell me exactly how many you have, what they do, and where they are on your person. I could do a more thorough search, but I don't have that much patience after that little rumble. If you don't tell me, I think I'll cut your ear off, how's that sound?" |

Aurora squeals and starts to struggle, but at the threat, she stops, thinking. No, this isn't worth throwing her life away for. With a sigh, she ends the magic in her hand and relaxes. "I have three gems. Dagon's Olivine in my left pocket; it's how I slowed you down. Achilles' Opal in my right pocket; always for a burst of speed. And APollo Topaz on my necklace; it blinds everything within a certain radius." |

Cassidy grins, and pats Aurora on the cheek mockingly. "Well now, that wasn't so hard now? Good girl." Cassity makes sure to take off Aurora's necklace first, if she got any ideas to try and break free, that would definitely be in the mix. After that, she went rifling through the academy girl's pant pockets, pulling out the gemstones. "I was worried you weren't going to be sensible for a moment there. Would have been a real shame messing up that pretty face of yours." With that, Cassidy pondered what the best thing to do now would be. It would probably be knocking the girl unconscious and taking her leave, but if she did that, she'd have to try and use the Hephaestus Ruby to make a suitable weapon, and she might try to do that magic resist thing and break free. She could try and do it with fists, but that was inefficient and liable to have her try and resist if she tried it. Or she could just kill her, but that was ugly. What to do, what to do... |

Aurora gives a shallow nod, scowling. She knows that the thief wasn't quite done yet; there is still the matter of cleanup, after all. So, she needs to find a way out as soon as possible. And she figures that Cassidy has no idea that she actually doesn't need the crystals to boost her speed, or ward off attacks. Such is the gift of being a magus. However, footsteps sound. A man in a deep blue suit approaches and quirks an eye behind his gold-rimmed glasses. "Oh? The treasure hunter from before, a thief? Color me surprised." |

That was not a voice she needed to hear. Not when she was working. "Can you cut the crap, Doctor? I'm working here. I'll deal with you and your phony information in a bit, you owe me." Deciding that she needed to make a decisive move to clean up the situation, she pulls out the hephaestus gem. Completing the circuit, she creates a hefty mallet. |

"Owe you? Well. Can't say I expected you to be displeased with an enormous stash of crystals. Unless you managed to awaken the guardian." Dr. Lou Levy steps forward, shaking his head. "Before you barbarically render that poor girl unconscious, do you mind if I speak to her quickly?" Aurora blinks in surprise. |

Cassidy spits. "You could have told me about the guardian, you colossal jackass. I picked one gem and the bastard woke up, it probably needed every damn one in place in order to hold it back. Now, I love gemstones as much as the next girl, but I'm not stupid enough to wake up someone like that big guy if I knew what I was going into." In response to his question, Cassidy shrugs. "Make it quick." She doesn't move from her position, however. |

"Hmm... I could've sworn I mentioned something about a guardian on the detail report I gave you. You remember to read it?" Dr. Levy kneels down in front of Aurora, rubbing his chin. "May I ask your name, girl?" Aurora breathes in deep to steel herself. "I'm Aurora Endicott." "Endicott? Oh, my." Dr. Levy glances up at Cassidy with a raised eyebrow. "High standards, Cassy. Are you aiming for a warrant on your, by chance?" |

When Levy begins to threaten her, Cassidy growls. "Not on your life. I needed to make a bit of a profit after that fools errand you sent me on. I don't flub up assignments, I'm not some kind of idiot. If that tiny little fucking detail was buried in fine print, I'm going to take you to task for it. That's the kind of thing you put on the front page." Cassidy's patience was wearing thin. "Don't interfere with this." Cassidy delivers a light slap on Aurora's cheek. "And you, you keep being a nice, quiet, good girl, alright? You don't speak unless I give you permission from now on, capiche?" |
