Royal Crescent

The golden Royal Crescent moon that adorns the forehead of the nobility of the Lunar family, their advisors and inner court is the absolute symbol of authority and an unforgeable piece of secure identification.

[21:44] Didn't you know?
[21:44] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III taps the crescent on her own forehead
[21:45] Since the very earliest days of the Silver Millennium, ever since Goddess Venus was found by the court, the crescents of royalty have been forged by Venusians to celebrate the First Alliance.
[21:46] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...I was unaware.
[21:46] <_< I didn't know either the Lunar Computer told me
[21:46] * @Sakura X. Aino snorts
[21:46] DON'T LAUGH I'M STILL YOUR QUEEN
[21:47] <@Sakura X. Aino> sorry sorry
[21:47] ANYWAY
[21:47] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III coughs and tries to sound important
[21:47] So there's a few ingredients to make this work
[21:47] In that crucible thing is the mold for the crescent
[21:48] Your job is to use your Venus metal control to melt down the kinamantine and pour it into the mold
[21:48] Then I need to "bless" it.
[21:48] That's what makes it a special Royal crescent
[21:49] <@Sakura X. Aino> Okays
[21:50] * @Sakura X. Aino points at the block of Kinamantine - the hardest known metal in the Solar System with Telepathic enhancement abilities - and wills it to levitate over the crucible
[21:50] * Vermellia X. Rosso watches curiously
[21:50] * D. Kakaku looks up and watches.
[21:50] * @Sakura X. Aino then narrows her eyes and wills the metal to "melt" not by heating, but by direct atomic rearrangement
[21:51] * @Sakura X. Aino causes it to flow into the mold
[21:51] Keep it liquid for the moment, please.
[21:51] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III walks over to the crucible and takes out a knife, making a slight cut on the inside of her hand
[21:53] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III lets the blood drip onto the crescent, and in her mind, she incants an ancient set of instructions as per the Lunar Computers' records. This causes the Kinamantine to reshape itself, creating a complex set of built in circuits and patterns that correspond to the thought-instructions
[21:53] Okay... seal it up
[21:54] * @Sakura X. Aino wills the metal to close up and finish the crescent, even "polishing" it to a mirrored sheen atomically.
[21:56] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III then produces the Silver Crystal in her hand, and it vibrates near the new crescent
[21:56] <@Sakura X. Aino> ...the silver Crystal reacts to it?
[21:56] Yes, because Royal-level crescents are linked to the Ginzuishou.
[21:57] Ordinary ones aren't
[21:57] * D. Kakaku almost goes back to developing the housings and interface, but then perks up at something.
[21:57] wait, what did you say?
[21:57] So the royal family and their closest retainers can be reliably identified by anyone who holds the Ginzishou
[21:57] Hmm?
[21:57] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III looks over at Daniel
[21:58] I said "Royal-level crescents are linked to the Ginzuishou."
[21:59] ***
[21:58] was the one ripped from Diana a royal level crescent, Sakura?
[21:59] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeah.
[21:59] Of course it was. She's my guardian cat.
[21:59] One of my most trusted advisors.
[21:59] which means it should still be linked, even if stolen, right?
[21:59] And one of my best friends.
[22:00] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III thinks
[22:00] Yes, but it's a very loose link. I'd need to be pretty close to it for it to resonate with me.
[22:01] I can't track it over long distances if that's what you're thinking.
[22:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> Wait though
[22:01] <@Sakura X. Aino> Does the link... work both ways?
[22:01] well, there goes the wind from, hmmm?
[22:01] What do you mean 'both ways'?
[22:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well you said you use it to verify that the holder of a crescent has a genuine one because it makes the Ginzuishou react.
[22:02] Yes?
[22:02] <@Sakura X. Aino> Well I've been trying to think about why anyone would take Diana's.
[22:03] You should know why. It lets you gain access to all kinds of things. Like the Lunar Palace, the computers, all that.
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> But is there anything more to it
[22:03] <@Sakura X. Aino> May I see that crescent?
[22:04] Sure.
[22:04] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III hands it over
[22:04] <@Sakura X. Aino> Pardon me, your highness.
[22:04] * @Sakura X. Aino waves the Crescent around Lady Serenity, trying to will it to affect her Ginzushou, to attract it to her.
[22:04] * The ~Lady~ Serenity III feels a burning sensation in her whole body
[22:05] What the--- what are you doing?
[22:05] <@Sakura X. Aino> Trying to see if I can use the crescent to affect the ginzishou like a magnet.
[22:05] It's not a valid test. You're venusian.
[22:05] Your bloodline can already affect the Ginzuishou.
[22:06] <@Sakura X. Aino> Yeahbut not on my own.
[22:06] * @Sakura X. Aino puts the crescent away and tries to pull it from Chibiusa. "Not when it's integrated with you."
