Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Certainly you can see my workshop, you can too if you like Raven!" *Starts walking towards the workshop door* "I'm an artist at heart so I create as many things as I can with crystals, some of em are actually useful like my constructs" *Opening the door*

* The room is much more expansive than you would think on one side there are tables with many tools upon them. The walls are made entirely of crystal, not like the ones in the main room, these stayed a singular color all the time, they were a subdued blue color. There was a podium in the center of the room used for directing crystal formation. On the far back wall lay containers, in each one a different crystal grew, the boxes were near uncountable in number. The smell was the same as in the entrance room, but more concentrated here, with a larger portion of blood in the mix. The far right wall was a display rack, all sorts of crystal arts were here, some even moving. Sculptures, pictures, tools, machine parts,...and at the far end a case. The case stretched quite a distance, there was a hollow in the wood of the case with each clan members name carved in. Currently the only one that was filled was Domi's, a perfect copy of the one he gave her, with a big cookie in the center of the crystal orb.*

"Hope you like it, looks like the other constructs did good, the mess is all gone!"

((night Alice))

Smiling at the to young vamps "well if yall will please excuse me i must be going"

"Hahahaa please don't apologize! I've never met anyone with such vigor about the craft as I do...well that's not saying much, I'm the only Crystal Craftsmen I know. No one ever asks me questions about it actually."
"Yes for the most part I make whatever comes to mind. I've never been in a single place long enough for someone to commission me for a job, although i think thats changed now. And the most favorite thing I have made...*pauses in deep thought*..."Well, I'd have to say my fragrances vat." *gestures over at the back wall, in the far corner, among the hundreds of crystal containers, stood a large box, anchored to the ground*
"Not my favorite piece of beauty I should say, but it is the most useful thing I've ever made. It's what gives off those nice aromas in the other rooms, It's a series of complex crystal portals that transfer and augment the nicest smells by...Oh it's all very complicated."

"The vat is useful not only for the smells. By putting certain crystalsinside I can produce various effects in my rooms. Hot, Cold, Humid, Dry, Even foggy. Different crystals i use also enhance Visions and Dreams, and I have a few healing crystals as well... I also put in a generous supply of holy crystals and my own blood to keep my rooms purified from negative energies. It has a few other uses as well...but on to my beauty piece!"

*Smiles in a memory...* "Ah I believe it is this one" *walks over to a discolored wall section and touches the small crystal embedded in the center. The wall rotates, classic haunted house style, and on the other side in a glass case is a tall statue of a woman* " This is Zalurin. I've only seen her twice personified so I decided to sculpt her." *The statue was around five and a half feet tall, The body looked like a real body, the clothes looked like clothes, even the hair looked like hair. Each crystal was uniquely shaped and textured to look as real as possible. The dress she wore was the darkest shade of purple. The eyes seemed alive and not glassy at all.* " Really one of my greatest works, It took a week of singing her from base crystals into a full formed statuette."

*eyes go a little dark* "You know she has a pretty face. But you've seen what she turns me into when she takes over. And you know how she acts. As far as women go, I look at their heart first and their looks second. Didn't have much of a choice with Zalurin though, she's a good actress"

*looking a little unsure* "I really don't know. She was different back then, violent and bloodthirsty yes, but much nicer, I don't know if she acted all of that out just to bind herself to me, a ritual i had to be 'willing' for it to work." "Regardless of then she's a monster now. I can't trust her anymore. You really don't know how rotten she is."
*looks back at the statue and his eyes soften*
"I could go so far as to say we were in love back then, or maybe just really good friends. I miss those days"

"Annnnywaaay" *abruptly moving past the akwardness* " How about I give you your gift? As an added bonus you get to see how I make it, won't take but five minutes or so."
