[There was a soft melody playing in the background, along with the sound of paws pattering about. Some heavier steps. The music clearly from a music box that sounded as if it was sat somewhere closer to the shellphone—]

This is Professor Turo, and my apologies for perhaps a late statement that I may not be so easily found as usual the last several days; a few days more as well. Less time spent walking Cosmo, other places.

Of course I can still be reached over these, but I have been taking some time to myself. Finishing up a few projects, making room for others that are more in progress. Preparation for possible adoption candidates at Cosmo Conservatory -next month may do well for that- so I can be found within the medical building there once more at the very least.

[—that melody hanging in the air for a few notes. It at least helped to soothe...]

If anything is needed do not hesitate to contact me, but I bid you adieu for now.

[When the video kicks on, the camera is shaky. That's because Darin is fumbling with trying to get his Shellphone aligned. When he appears on screen, he's upside down.]

Okay. Okay, you guys are not going to believe this, but I did it.

[He squints at the screen.]

Oh Gods damn— [He flips the shellphone so he's right side up. He's also covered in sweat and dirt and soot. And metal shavings. And what appears to be oil? Some sort of tar-like polish.]

Okay, there. Anyway! So, a couple of months back I had some people help me secure some of that crazy mood ore. The Magnetecorum! Well, thanks to everyone's help, I've had plenty to work with and process. The goal was to make something that I could use for the cores of the Beacon Boxes, but I needed to refine the metal into something usable. The ore was too brittle to work with on its own— and yes, trust me, I've made the "fragile emotions" crack about a thousand times in the last month and a half— BUT! But, I think I figured it out. I managed to create an alloy that I could then smelt into an ingot and— Okay seriously, check this out~!

[Darin turns the camera to one of the workbenches in his forge which is piled high with wafer thin slabs of immaculately shaped and polished metal. He picks up a piece, and the glossy, platinum-like metal begins to glow red-hot, as if it had just come out of the fire. But either it doesn't burn Darin or he doesn't notice it.]

Ah! There, see?! See?! It's resonating! It's getting as fired up as I am! Now that I have this stuff, I think I can make even more potent, robust cores for the boxes! And, in the meantime, just to get a better handle on how it responds to people, I'm going to be personally crafting some special armor and accessories that'll be up for sale by next month!

Also? Magnetecorum is a real mouthful and kinda sucks from a marketing standpoint, which is why I've taken the liberty of giving the alloy a new, much easier to remember name!

Ladies and Gentlemen? I give you...

🌟PASSIONITE~🌟

And no, the name is not up to workshop. You want to name it something better— which, by the way, you can't— invent your own alloy that responds to your heart's strongest desires!

I'll be taking custom Passionite Orders for the foreseeable future, so come on down to the Starmetal Forge~!
