[ man, he fuckin' WISHES he'd arrived with a knife now. ]
Really? That's a little anticlimactic.
[ he goes ahead and opens his own, then, without expecting much, and finds... what i GUESS is a fake version of one of these things?? metaphor please illustrate your items. anyway it's wrapped up in a wire like it's supposed to be used as a pendant or something. ]
[ the thing i'm still most offended by is that they fucking have casual versions of their models without coats in the game and yet they had them in the regular coats-on models the entire time they were on eupha's 42°C island
he blinks for a second before realising that yeah actually it does kind of look like bone, doesn't it ]
Oh. No, it's— well, this one's a fake novelty version, but it's s'posed to be a white sand rose. Sort of a crystal thing, grows in the desert. Use 'em as lucky charms where we're from.

[ Kind of. ]
If this is fake, does the real one have magic?
no subject
[ it DOES give you +5 to all of your stats, though. ]
Fakes are common back home, even. Takes a while for 'em to form natural, so real ones aren't easy to find.
