Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post

Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~

The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

Jeff looks at you and raises an eyebrow.

> Ask about Jeff's relationship situation. [UNLOCKED]
> Leave Jeff alone

She waves as she approaches. "Hey, the Eidolon exhibit was really interesting." She says. "I just wanted to thank you for the recommendation. It was a lot of fun. That Bahamut sculpture they're putting up is really cool! It was almost like I was back there fighting him again with the other Heroes of Light. I chatted a bit with the sculptor, too, and she actually mentioned you..." She cocks her head at Jeff. "It sounded like you were having some kind of relationship trouble."

Is that ridiculously forward and inappropriate? Sure. But Corrin is a Hero of Light, and helping people is what she does. And she grew up in a tower and sometimes still struggles with certain social niceties.

He gives you a startled eye but quickly deflates, giving up. “It doesn’t matter. You’re right. He and Joan are out there right now looking for those dumb crystals. Can you believe it? Who even cares, right? Just to get some airship tickets or whatever?

“And I’m stuck here.”

> “Yep, you’re stuck here.” Leave Jeff to his whining.
> “There’s no one else here. Maybe your boss can let you go early?”
> “I wonder if I could take over for you?”

Corrin frowns, but then puts a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Well, we can't have that, can we? Listen...why don't you head out?" She suggests, motioning to the otherwise empty lobby. "I'll handle things for you while you're gone." After all, with what's going on out there, it's likely not to be too busy in here. Corrin's seen no one else in the museum aside from Jeff and that sculptor. It sounds like he likes this girl, and if she might return those feelings, well...she feels compelled to help him try.

"I know I'm not a regular employee, but it'll be fine. My name is Corrin of Nohr, I'm a Hero of Light, and helping people is what I do. Let me help you, Jeff."

“Wha-” He looks at you with wide eyes. “What, really? Seriously? Are you serious!?”

Is he angry? Is he about to cry? Oh, he just threw his nametag at you, okay. “All you have to do is take the people’s money,” he says quickly, scrambling out of his uniform shirt. “I owe you, bud. Oh my gosh, I- Wait, hold on, here, I have like five of them-”

Jeff digs in his pocket before pressing a Rain Crystal into your hand!!! Followed quickly by his shirt. “Thank you so much! I’m coming, Domon!” And Jeff’s gone…

Congratulations, Hero!

Once Jeff's shift ends, you're free to continue adventuring if you want more crystals.

> go to Ancient History Museum
> go to Hypello Shop
> go to Blitzball Stadium
> go to Leviathan’s Temple
> Leave Ka’Pandol

Corrin is happy to receive the crystal, but before she can thank Jeff properly, he tosses his discarded shirt at her. "Whoa, now-" But then he's gone. Ah well. Such is the course of true love. Good luck, tiger.

Corrin finishes out the rest of Jeff's shift; it's not hard and she did her fair share of guard duty during the war, and this isn't far removed from it. When she's done, though, there's still plenty of day left...and plenty of museum she still hasn't seen. Having acquired one of the Rain Crystals, that's enough for her.

Time for some educational fun!
