To Utopia, Hell...

[Dracos]

It frowned...and vanished as the inspectors stared.  "Are you all right?"

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"Yes. What was *that* all about?" Jan asked the men as he mimicked an expression of shock on his features. "Felt like the whole place was about to come down!"

[Dracos]

"We're still not sure.  Something broke out of there, but we couldn't tell what it was.  It blasted most of our sensors."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"Is there anything we can do to help the guild along?"

[Dracos]

"Not that I can think of, though we'd prefer if you stuck around.  Where'd you get such a thing anyhow?"

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"Out in the wastelands on a trip a month ago. Would you terribly mind if I could take it back?"

[Dracos]

"Well..." They looked a little hesistant.  "It really would be best if we could keep it here for study..." They protested weakly.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"But if it's mine, and I'll be staying nearby anyway, there's no harm if I kept it, right? I have been anxious to see it up close all this while." He reasonably stated.

[Dracos]

"Well..."

They frowned.

"I guess that works."

They lead the group into the secured area, bringing out the box and handing it to Jan.

[Dracos]

Shortly afterwards, the group managed to make its way outside, after having a promise extricated from it to stay in the city for a bit.

They did, however, manage to keep the box.

Now where'd yomi head off to though?

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Well, it had said that the box was its home...

Jan opened the box and peered inside.

[Dracos]

And was promptly sucked inside, the box floating there as the others looked on.

Dracos

[Halbarad]

Clyde did a doubletake as Jan was apparently ingested by the small box.

"What in God's name just happened?"

[Shukuen]

Leets boggled, staring at the spot where Jan was before and the box floating in the air.

His first impulse was to demand What just happened!?, but since Hornsby had just asked that, he nervously asked instead:

"Why couldn't Darx be here to volunteer to look in the man-eating box?"

[Dracos]

Inside...

Jan found himself floating a bit above the floor in a fine british study.

Yomi appeared before him.  "Need me already?"
