To Utopia, Hell...

[Dracos]

Finding them, they managed to secure lodgings, trading tales of their adventures or lackthereof for the next several days before...

"There's a message for a Mr. Jan here?"

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"Yes, what can I help you with?" Jan responded easily enough, hand reflexively straying to where he used to keep his revolver. He winced as he managed to stop himself before it became obvious.

Bad habit he had developed as of yet.

[Dracos]

"The engineering guild summons you." The messanger responded.  "Do you need directions?"

Dracos

[Dracos]

"Yes, that would be nice." The old man coming behind them stated, as the group was lead to the engineering guild into a tech room and behind a shield where they could see, through the transparent shield, the box, almost broken open, held up in a metal support.  The old man seemed a bit grim watching.

OOC:
Posting delays will be rectified.

[Carthrat]

Mei-Ling, having followed along with Jan (hey, nothing better to do), looks around at all the equipment, highly interested.

The gravity of the situation prevents her from asking many questions, save one- "Is that the box, Jan? Hmm. What did you find?"

[Shukuen]

"That's what we're going to find out in a moment," Leets said, watching the box intently.

[Dracos]

The box was blasted again, splitting open to reveal...

A floating creature?  It was small, with a giddy face and wings that shouldn't have supported it, but did.  There was a hint, more than one, of magic floating around it as it yawned.  "That time already?"

Dracos

[Carthrat]

Mei-Ling squints at the.. creature. "Time? Time for what?" she mouths.

Just when you think you've seen it all...

[Dracos]

The creature was promptly in front of her.  "To wake me up silly.  Are they always this slow?"

Notably, the whole set of barriers between them and it didn't seem to mean much as it now floated on their side of the protective barriers.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

Leets recoiled back when the creature seemed to have teleported out of the barrier to hover before them.

"Wha... who are you supposed to be?"

Then the creature's words sunk in, raising an additional question.

"And wake you up for what?"

[Dracos]

"I'm Yomi." He answered, a matterafactly.

"And you opened Pandora's box."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"What?!" Jan's eyes widened as he stared at the creature in dull shock, the name instantly ringing alarms in his head as the wolves' vicious defense of the crystal box suddenly became clear.

"No way, how can Pandora's Box have arrived here, that thing is nothing but a fairy tale!"

[Dracos]

"I assure you I'm quite real." Yomi chittered amusedly, apparently undisturbed.

Dracos

[Shukuen]

"So are you the great evils locked away?" Leets questioned suspiciously, a cautious glint in his eyes as he watched the creature.

"You certainly aren't what I'm expecting Hope to look like."

[Olvelsper]

Forcibly maintaining a hold on the situation, he fired off. "If you're hope, no wonder the world was destroyed ten times over."
