User blog:1caiser/SAO Crystal: Stoneware Clay

Well, I made a crystal.

«Dimensions»:
 * Length: ~1.25 inches
 * Width: ~2.25 inches
 * Height: ~2.8 inches

«Medium»: Stoneware clay (may have recycled clay in there as well, I'm not sure)

«Technique»: Rolled a slab and cut out dimensions. Hand-scraped with flat edge loop tools and needle tool.

«Time»: About 4 class periods (and 1 advocacy period) ~ 5 hours plus sitting time for "leather-hard" (clay hardness at which the piece/sculpture won't deform when handled, but can still be manipulated to a degree).

The main prism shall be painted (glazed) blue for the Teleport Crystal. And, obviously, the base will be painted gray (silver if my Ceramics teacher has it).

Short story:

"転移: 始まりの町!" (Ten'i: Hajimari no Machi // Teleport: Starting City)

A great blue light envelops Kai, and his body feels weightless. I never expected the teleport to actually work!!!"

The light faded away after a few seconds, but Kai stayed somewhat weightless. However, there was no street or even the sight he expected to see from the scene of Episode 1 of SAO, the one when Kirito first entered the official release of the game that shared the name with the anime. Instead, there was a great panorama of gray. It seemed like Kai was trapped in a gray cylinder of sorts.

"What the..." Kai turned around to notice a timer.

Kai felt his heart skip a few beats. "Stuck in limbo... for this long?"

End.
