"For some species it is much harder to create a different appearance, like my people, so we've gone to great lengths of research to make things work", the man said reaching into a drawer. He pulled out a small jar of powder, "This is crystaline opal. A very rare mineral that holds many interesting properties. One that the mystical people found is the ability for it to amplify some spells and it is what makes disguises work", he said before setting it back down.<br/><br/>"Other species have the ability naturally and don't need it, like yours and mine", Marcus said shrugging. He grabbed another cigarette out of his pocket and lit it like the others. He took a long drag from it before noticing Mr.Baxter raising an eyebrow, annoyed. "You know I need smoke", Marcus said shrugging and letting the smoke blow out his nose. Mr.Baxter rolled his eyes and sat at his desk, "Anyway, Ms.Kyleson, I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here", he said giving the girl a smile.<br/><br/>Just then the bell rang and the door opened, letting in a number of people. Marcus nodded his head in the direction of his desk for Rachael to follow him.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Rachel mostly took everything in stride, soaking in the information without issue and allowing her notable intellect mix with her natural curiosity to help put things together.  Upon seeing the crystalline opal, however, her mouth opened just a little in surprise and wonder, though not for the reasons one might suspect.  She'd heard of crystalline opal, an old story from her grandmother.  Supposedly, it was able to allow a doppelganger to change into even inhuman forms, giving even bones the ability to shift.  Her grandmother had never really explained what she'd been able to do with her one and only use of the stuff, though.<br/><br/>As the bell rang, she moved back a bit with Mark, taking up a spot wherever he wanted to sit so long as she had her tablet ready for notes and understanding.  She loved to learn; it was just that some of the people often made it difficult.  Her next class was in the science lab, one of her favorites.
