Still Immersing [Ruins]

[tags here]--[208]--[Role Immersion and Thinking]

After taking a break back in Unova for the holidays, Altair was back in another set of ruins for his second attempt in immersing himself in his role of the paleontologist adventurer Jackson Harkness. Once again, he had made sure to dress up in proper attire before venturing out into these ruins, partially for safety and partially to help him get in character.

This time around though, he'd requested the script along with the scenery change. When asked why, he mentioned that he couldn't take the place seriously because it was the ruins of a museum of all things, which kept the feeling of it being fake in his head all the time. Not the best thoughts to have when you're trying to get into character. Thankfully the director was understanding... though the man did tell him that the next time he asked to switch locations for his immersion the money was coming out of his own pockets instead of the studios.

That was fine with him. He was sitting on a damn fine nest egg that was slowly being made bigger by investments and his grandfather's booming business in Unova.

And speaking of booming businesses, he also had to think about that offer to expand into Nue....

Dig Dig Dig . . .  What's this?!
Congratulations, You've found a RELIC VASE!
A vase made in a civilization about 3,000 years ago. A maniac will buy it for a high price.

CRASH!

Altair instinctively jumped back from the side at the loud sound. He blushed in embarrassment when he saw the pieces of something dull brown and jade green scattered all over the floor, gleaming in the faint light of his flashlight. Biting his lip, he looked to the sides warily, waiting for anyone or anything that might've reacted to the fallen fragile thing.

Upon hearing and seeing nothing out of the ordinary aside from that crash, he sighed in relief. Phew. SO his momentary bout of accidental clumsiness didn't screw him over. Thank Arceus! He'd heard the horror stories and seen the movies of foolish explorers in ruins like these who died because of traps triggered by mishaps like these. He didn't want to end up like them in his pursuit of the arts and crafts, thank you very much. He rather liked living just fine, especially now that his life was going well again.

Shaking his head both in amusement and chastisement at himself, Altair gingerly stepped over the pieces of the fragile object still on the floor and continued on deeper into the mysterious ruins that he was referred to by the director. Hopefully he wouldn't have any more little... accidents... during his trek.

Altair was seriously wondering if he hadn't been tricked into going into a safe 'replica' of ruins instead of actual ruins again. After all, wouldn't nice-looking stones put on display like the ones he had been staring at for the past ten minutes be stolen decades -if not centuries- ago? He may be a total newbie at this but even he knew that these were something that graverobbers would salivate over, if only due to the fact that they were pretty as heck.

Still, since no one was claiming these and he was sure that their owners were long-dead, surely they wouldn't mind him taking the cat's eye marble from the case? After all, no one else is ever going to use it in here.

So he could feel stirrings of his old criminal days again, not that he was going to admit it out loud. But he figured that it was a step in the right direction due to the role he was training for, so he carefully opened the case and took the stone....
