Assisting a treasure-hunter that wished to avoid Kylertown’s upper authority with friends was the last possible errand Roy had expected to make up the day's events, but it was something that he could clear his otherwise lackluster schedule for. The idea had been novel at first, especially the way Celine had put it. “Fortune and riches” were three keywords Roy could not easily pass up on. It meant having something to potentially trade with for more food, water, and maybe even Soul Tech and Soul Gems. The thought filled him with a momentary lapse of giddy excitement and hope. However, from the moment the laboratory’s vault-like doors swung open, the gravity of the situation slowly began to sink in. He was outside the village now, and that meant any number of things could happen to them. Silently kicking himself for never pulling aside the adults in his life and asking more questions about the world outside their small village, Roy anxiously followed the group and their brilliant yellow tour guide/roomba. Maybe the information could have helped him comprehend at least some bits and pieces of what the small, kind of cute machine was rambling on about. As the toured continued on, it became clear, for better or worse, that the facility was devoid of the scientists that used to operate within the lab… and was exceptionally clean. 
 
[color=D0991E]“I’ll have to get a roomba like this for mom one day… maybe one that's not as vibrant, though,”[/color] murmured Roy to himself in before the set of doors at the end of the hallway opened up to the trophy room. As the disc and company entered the vast room, it became apparent the well lit pedestals held the “treasure” they were looking for.
 
“If you’d like to personally test out our newest advances, please choose a sample. There are more than enough for you all, so please, only one per person. Once you’ve all decided on what you’d like, I’ll lower the glass. Lightly touch the sample with your hand, and our technology will do the rest!”
 
The news was too good to be true. One per person without any hassle was an exceptional deal. There had to be some kind of catch, though. In this day and age, there was always a catch, right? Roy spun around in an attempt to catch sight of any irregularities, anything out of the ordinary. However, everything seemed out of the ordinary and yet not at the same time. Roy swiftly terminated the futile action and joined his teammates in analyzing the items sitting pretty on their respective pedestals. His gazed settled on the blue sprite floating listlessly in space. As his feet autonomously carried him towards the mesmerizing enigma, Roy felt a sort of air of drifting crispness about it. His hand extended towards the glass.
 
[color=D0991E]“This one,”[/color] was all he could manage as his attention was solely fixated on the movements of the blue pixie.
