[Video Post. Open to all. September 12, 2010. Morning.]

[The video clicks on and Cyclonis stands at full stance atop of the Gull Reef Club Hotel, the sun raising behind her and the ocean sparkling below. It is a beautiful sight truly.]

Digital World! I am Master Cyclonis. I am currently searching for other intellectuals such as myself who are interested in crystals, such as these.

[From behind her back she pulls out a red crystal and aims it into the sky. A large arm and hand made of red energy shoots out from the crystal, stays in the air for a moment before returning to the crystal.]

I search for crystals with such magical properties and I need help finding them. Anyone interested in such research or knows the location of such crystals is encouraged to come to the Gull Reef Club Hotel as soon as possible. I await replies.

That was quite an interesting display, but besides magic arms, what do these crystals do?

Re: [text - locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

Almost anything you can imagine. Invisibility, grant the speed of light, freeze beings and objects in ice, simple energy blasts. They have many functions.

That's a lot for a measly little rock. What else can you tell me about them? Is there anything special needed to harness their power?

Re: [text - locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

A crystal mage. Only with a crystal mage can proper equipment be build to harness their power. And as far as I know, I am the only crystal mage in this world.

Re: [text - locked]

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

I see. That's too bad. They seemed very useful, but their potential is lost if you're the only one who can harness their power.

Re: [text - locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

Depends on how you view their potential. Weapons can be made that allow one who is not a crystal mage to harness some of their power, but not to the extent that I myself have.

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

Then others can use them, just not as well. What are the limitations for those without mage abilities? Any chance for the power to backlash?

Re: [text - locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

Different crystals have different abilities. If one has a sword equipped with a firebolt crystal, they can fling lightning energy at their foes and even call down red lightning from storm clouds. The only chance of backlash is a damaged crystal or a fool using the crystal beyond it's limits.

Alright, you've sold me on the idea. What do you say to a little deal? I can provide money to use in your research, as long I'm kept up to date on what's going on and a cut of what results from it.

Re: [text - locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

Very well. Transfer the funds and I shall give you reports on my research.

Re: [text - locked]

[fasternlightbot.livejournal.com]

[Attached: a sizable amount of BITS]

Try not to spend it all in one place.

Re: [text - locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

I won't. This will help greatly. You shall have a report in a week.

[loudestlady.livejournal.com]

Um...why?

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

Research. I know a great deal about crystals and their uses for many things. I am curious as to if this world has similar crystals. Crystal energy is long lived and has no damage on the environment.

Think of the uses we could. Think of the good we could do for this world.

[loudestlady.livejournal.com]

Oh, alright.

That's very nice of you.

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

Just trying my best. Would you like to help me? I could use your assistance. And right now, you are the only one I can trust.

[loudestlady.livejournal.com]

I...I am?

[Locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

Yes. Right now I have no idea who truly wishes to help me, and who wishes to steal my research. I know you and you have helped me. You are my friend. Right now I need someone close that I can trust. Someone who can help me see who truly wishes to help, and who wishes to betray me.

Will you help me?

Re: [Locked]

[loudestlady.livejournal.com]

O-of coarse...I don't know how...I mean I don't know alot about this sort of thing but...I'll help however I can.

Re: [Locked]

[cyclonia-rising.livejournal.com]

You can help me most by staying close. Help me in anyway you can. Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Locked]

[loudestlady.livejournal.com]

O-ok, no problem.
