@Kassil Intriguing!
@ashiel A magnetic bottle containing neutron star fluid, paired with a box of nuclear pasta. Not the safest things to cook with, but certainly good for dense, filling meals. There was a well-aged piece of paper on the bottle, with a handwritten recipe that, if followed, would almost certainly destabilize the entire meal and make it explode; you were familiar enough with the process to not do that. #WhisperingInfinities
@Zrephel A box of coins minted from individual elements rendered into a metallic form. In any other cosmos, many of these could only exist under extreme conditions, if at all, but in the Gulf they remained metallic until altered again. Metallic helium was the one that drew the most attention, usually, among your collection. #WhisperingInfinities
@Kassil meow :3
@hazel A coat stitched from solar sails past their use; very light, very warm, and extremely shiny. You eventually took it apart and resewed the fabric into a sundress; partly for the appeal of having such a reflective and lightweight dress, and partly for the humor of a sundress made of material so absurdly shiny. #WhisperingInfinities
