[ So this morning, you may find one Sakuta Ryuusei in the kitchen area of Casa de KRC, freshly showered and making breakfast (lots of it)

You may also find a most likely very sleepy ladypirate somewhere in the vicinity ]

You have the internet; look it up.

[Prodding you in the side.] You could just tell me, you're right here.

[meteorstorm]

[ twitch ]

I'm not your personal encyclopaedia.

[yellowhasthechest]

Yeah but it's faster. I would have to get up, get a computer, and turn it on, when you could just tell me and I wouldn't even have to move.

[Sitting up probably too quickly, wobbling a little.]

Is that thing real gold?!

[meteorstorm]

Gold plated, if anything. There's a limited amount of gold on this planet; you're not going to find anything larger than a ring or a necklace that's solid, generally. Especially not for something that's given out every year in large quantities.

[yellowhasthechest]

That's disappointing.

[meteorstorm]

For you, maybe.

[yellowhasthechest]

It explains the offers on my jewelry, though.

[meteorstorm]

I would imagine so. Particularly if you have large pieces.

[yellowhasthechest]

Everything I have is higher grade than your planet can produce.

[meteorstorm]

There you go, then.

[yellowhasthechest]

I know my gems. I didn't know gold was such a commodity here, though.

[meteorstorm]

Most of the planet's gold is in the core. Anything higher than that was probably left by meteorites.

[yellowhasthechest]

You should be using the meteorites themselves instead; it's nicer to look at.

[meteorstorm]

Some people do. Usually it's chips as inlays or something.

[yellowhasthechest]

Somebody I used to know had a whole bangle made of it. One solid piece. Only nice thing she ever owned, and it was definitely worth a fortune in your area of the universe.

[meteorstorm]

It's possible someone has done something like that, but I'm not the best person to ask about jewelery.

[yellowhasthechest]

Boys never are.

[meteorstorm]

It depends on the boy. I can tell you what looks good; I can't tell you who made it or what it's made of or how much it would cost, usually.

[yellowhasthechest]

Most boys can't tell you any of that regardless.

[Sliding one of her own rings off and holding it up; the stone is clear, and just about flawless.] Know what it is?

[meteorstorm]

Because most of us don't care if it's diamond, cubic zirconia, or a plain glass crystal, so long as it looks nice.

[ taking that ring and holding it in his palm for a moment, then handing back ]

Judging by the weight and knowing it's you, it's probably diamond.

[yellowhasthechest]

It's not. [Sliding it back on.]

It's a clear sapphire. That's what happens when sapphires are produced under high-heat conditions. Your planet can't do it naturally, at least not very often.

[meteorstorm]

[ you learn something new every day ]

Not on the surface, probably not.
