Night 50: F1-F10 hallway
Yuffie had found a ring.
She'd poked it and prodded it all throughout dinner, rolling it around on the palm of her hand. She'd tilted it this way and that, peering around the band to see if there was an inscription. There wasn't.
There was, however, a red stone.
Now, Yuffie was a materia hunter. And a treasure hunter. And a bounty hunter. And-well, she was a lot of things. She knew that it was all kinds of useless to try matching up with what she knew from home to what she found here, but she couldn't help trying.
So, she'd thought to herself, what do red stones usually mean? First up, and most obviously: summon materia. This… definitely wasn't a summon materia. Second, fairy ring. It wasn't one of those, either. The stone was the wrong shape, the ring was the wrong metal, and it was completely the wrong design. Wasn't a fury ring, either… Could it be a regular ol' ruby? No way, no way; that'd be too easy for Landel, too dull…
A quick change of clothes (she'd gone for the nostalgia kick today, just for a change of pace; the green turtleneck outfit still fit like a glove, though she made a point to leave the clunky shoulder, arm, and leg armor behind in the closet) and a bite to eat later, and the intercom answered her question.
I-It was… oh, man, this could be-it could mean…. "Holy crap," Yuffie whispered, laughing incredulously under her breath. Goldmine! Jackpot! Godsend!
Transported to the area you were in last night… Yuffie wasn't exactly in a hurry to go back to that grotty, smelly old locker room, but if she could use it some other night, the possibilities were almost too good to be true. Ah, as long as Cloud didn't go demandin' she fork it over, anyway… he wouldn't, would he? Well. Yeah, he might. Maybe. … Probably. Which was totes fine, of course, as long as he didn’t start up a brand new game of keep the shinies from the ninja.
There were tons of questions still without answers, like whether or not the rings were one-use only, but she could think about those later. After slipping the ring carefully away and grabbing her shuriken, Yuffie left to find Tifa.
