Curation and Research Annex
š Curation and Research Annex
*A Subdivision of the Sucrose Museum of History and Art*
Overview:
The Curation and Research Annex (CRA) is the museumās secured inner sanctumāan off-limits wing reserved for the in-depth analysis, classification, and containment of ancient artifacts, mythical relics, and otherworldly discoveries. Situated beneath the museumās main galleries, this annex operates in secrecy and discretion, accessed only by those with clearance or by direct escort.
Function:
The CRA serves as both a laboratory of truths and a sanctuary for the unknown.
1. Curatorial Analysis ā Artifacts brought in are carefully examined for historical, cultural, and mythological significance.
2. Mystic Containment & Study ā Objects of arcane or dangerous nature are safely housed while their properties are studied and understood.
Personnel:
Rather than an academic staff of outsiders, the annex is operated by a small number of trusted GrandSugarClan family membersāindividuals whose diverse talents span history, enchantment, restoration, and ancient lore. Each member brings their unique insight and lived experience to the examination process, making the annex a place where instinct and intellect blend seamlessly.
Special Features:
The Observation Chamber ā A chamber equipped with multi-layered scanning fields, ambient essence readers, and both ancient and modern tools of divination.
The Harmonic Vault ā A temperature- and energy-controlled vault where relics with unstable or latent magical properties are temporarily housed.
The Living Archives ā A hybrid of library and laboratory, containing codices, field logs, recovered scriptures, and translated texts used for cross-referencing. Some texts are bound in sentient materials and require special handling.
Known For:
* Analyzing the Star-Thread Veil retrieved from the Astral Shards.
* Disarming the Wailing Chalice of Threnna, which reportedly whispered to the untrained.
* Currently under preliminary study: the Necklace of Harmonia, recovered from an unmarked jungle temple by Rika and her expedition unit.

RP Post: The Examination Begins ā Necklace of Harmonia
The double security doors of the Curation and Research Annex gave a soft hiss as they opened, revealing the pristine, climate-controlled corridors within. Rika stepped inside with quiet confidence, the glow of the artifact in her gloved hand casting a faint shimmer along the glass cases lining the walls. Every step she took echoed softly in the silence of the annex, like a drumbeat leading to truth.
At the far end, standing amidst a halo of cold white light, was Leonardoātall, refined, and unshakably calm in his pristine lab coat. His silver hair cascaded past his shoulders, framing eyes sharp enough to read through time itself. He turned as she approached, his expression unreadable, yet familiar.
āSir Leo,ā Rika greeted respectfully, inclining her head before raising the artifact between them.
āIām hoping you can tell me if Iām holding the real thingāor just a beautifully dangerous fake.ā
The necklace pulsed faintly in her palm, the blue gems catching the overhead light with unnatural brilliance. Its golden framing was intricate, ancient, and laced with symbols she barely understood. She set it carefully on the examination cloth between them.
āI found it deep in a forgotten temple. It was buried beneath trap-laden floors, behind illusions, and surrounded by creatures that shouldnāt exist. Iāve only ever seen a sketch of it onceā¦ in an old scroll from the GrandSugarClan empireās private libraryāback in the Old World. It looked nearly identical. Iā¦ I think this could be the Necklace of Harmonia.ā
Leoās eyes flicked between her and the artifact, a subtle flicker of curiosity sharpening his features. He reached forward slowly, gloved fingers adjusting the position of the necklace as runes along the examination table flickered to life.
āYou made the right call bringing it here first,ā he said, his voice smooth and deliberate. āMany artifacts want to be found. Few should be touched.ā
As Rika stepped back to give him room, she kept her gaze fixed on the necklaceāhalf hoping, half dreading what he might uncover.
Because if this was the Necklace of Harmoniaā¦ then they werenāt just holding a relic.
They were holding a piece of forgotten balance. @charmingsilver
