This is probably one of the most valuable items your character can acquire in game, but it is difficult to obtain. Not only does it cost 1,000 points, but it demands that your character go through a bit of a process to obtain it. But first: what is it? That's a good question. A stabilizing gem helps characters with powers restore some regularity to their warped power- but not all. Enough for a character to be able to depend reliably on their gifts once more as they used to. They still won't be able to leave the town though. For characters without powers? This rock will help you through psychological horror situations. It won't help completely, but you'll find it easier to deal with hallucinations and other psychological-based horrors when you're clutching this gem. You will be able to center yourself quicker and focus sharper.

Now how to get it. First you cough up the 100 points. Then your character will encounter a white raven sitting on top of your Blessings Basket. This raven will seem extremely intelligent, watching your character and being perfectly calm even as your character approaches. It'll hop off the basket after a while and caw a word that sounds very much like 'gift'. It will follow your character around and hop at your character until your character picks it up. It'll settle down then, and after a second of staring some more at your character, it will gently touch its beak to the center of their forehead.

That's when the pain starts. It'll be a violent, skull-crunching pain. The raven vanish like smoke between your character's fingers. The pain will radiate all the way down the spine and into the shoulders and the rest of their body, ultimately bringing them to their knees. It will feel like the entire world is crushing down against them. Then the ripping feeling will start. It'll feel the front of your character's forehead is literally splitting open, but from what? When your character finally touches the center of their forehead where the raven had touched, they will find it incredibly hard. Some deep-rooted, inexplicable urge will seize your character and they will dig their fingers into their own forehead. Only that's just what it will feel like- your character will not literally be doing this, though it will feel exactly as if they were.

Then they'll feel the smooth shape of something. Pulling it out will be a miserable endeavor, the pain getting much worse, but the moment your character dislodges the stone from their forehead, the pain will vanish as quickly as the raven had. Then in their hand will be a unique, perfect looking stone that feels warm to the touch, and even pulsing. Their forehead will be completely fine, but boy, they sure won't forget that pain soon. While there may be no explanation with the gem, the character will automatically feel protective of it and like they should keep it close. They must be touching the stone directly in order to use their abilities more regularly again or to calm themselves down.

Stones can break, but trust me, no one wants that. If your character's stone breaks, so does that character. Literally. They will shattered into rock-edged shards. Thankfully it's pretty hard to break these stones. If your character's stone is broken, they can always get a new one. But they may only get three stones max.

Ariadne's rooftop garden is located on the roof of the David Cliff Apartments in the Brahms neighborhood:

Pear Tree ("Sophia")

Nectarine Tree ("Jane")

Plum Tree ("Toby")

Cinnamon Tree ("Araceli")

Orange Tree ("Morgan")

Lemon Tree ("Dagmar")

Cherry Tree ("Sara")

Apricot Tree ("Tyler")

Almond Tree ("Zabrina")

Pomegranate Tree ("Alison")

Avocado Tree ("Kevin")

The trees were part of Ariadne's rewards and have the dream add-on so that the trees survive, no matter what the game or players throw at them.
