OOC: They were just in Victoria's bedroom XD
BIC: Victoria opened the door to the boys's bedroom and walked back in. She smiled at Jason and sat down on his bed, next to him. She was searching for something to loosen the obvious tension, when an idea suddenly struck her mind. She stood up.
"Oh, I have to show you something!" she said and went quickly to a locker that was set in the wall.
She opened its white doors and started fumbling in it. On the inner side of the doors, she had attached pictures of various famous scientists and/or philosophers: Lord Kelvin, Pierre and Marie Curie, Descartes, Aristotle, Sir Isaac Newton, Alessandro Volta, Archimedes, Edwin Hubble....
She had, like in her bedroom (above her desk), put up a copy of the periodic table and the table of nuclides (combined).
In the locker in itself were many instruments, mainly chemistry ones: beakers, erlenmeyer flasks, round-bottom flasks, wash-bottles, pipets, and others. There was physical, respectively astrophysical, stuff like different filters for watching the sun (mainly mylar filters), lunar filters, nebular filters, and so on.
Victoria finally found what she had been searching for and came back, holding it preciously in her hands. She sat down between Jason and Justin and showed it to them.
It was a stone. A rough, unpolished grey stone, no larger than Victoria's palm. The fourteen-year-old girl looked at it with adoration.
"This," she explained, "is my jewel."
