[The man sits and opens the book, reading a passage from it quietly.
He is too focus to notice the message carved into the side]

"My dearest lady Medusa, He sacrificed himself for you, I'm sorry.
But you still have work to do, the gods had a secret weapon, but we cannot find the box.
We have sealed you untill the war ends, but as soon as you awaken, find it and destroy the things inside.

- Vlad"

You are destined for great things, young one.

>>473964
Nice collection of trophies and medals. Do they by any chance belong to your overachieving elder sibling whom your parents constantly compare you to when you fail to live up to your expectations?

Hey, sup rabbit boy. We're your headvoices. Who are you?

Kit: Um... Kit. I'm a fox, and I may be going insane.

>>473971
"be going"? Hoo boy, you're a long way past that, sonny.

Tell us all about yourself and those trophies. Is your goal in life to surpass a sibling/ achieve what a talented parent did or wanted to do/whatever?

Yeah yeah who cares that object you picked up is magic just rub it onto to someone else they'll hear us. Just give 'em a good old rub.
How old are you? The description says boy but that can be from 5-19, you look maybe 15? I dunno, listen, soon shit is going to go down so I hope your age doesn't limit your independence and what you can do.

Also, hey, are you in the industrial revolution or the information revolution or somewhere in between? When I mean industrial, I mean are there factories and production at mass level? And by information I mean portable telephones and easy access to almost any information without having to go to a damn library. Something like the internet, if you've heard of it.

well, it may take however much time between you finding it and hearing us has passed for them to hear us too.

>>473974
Nah, he only touched our box. If someone actually touched up proper it'd probably happen faster.

>>473973

Kit: This box is magic? that sounds kinda cool, I hope it isn't dangerous or something.

I am 15, and no, that doesn't limit me much as far as law is concerned.

And is you're asking for technology, well, we're pretty advanced in terms of tech, there's alot of new things coming out everyday, I guess now that the war is over, people are putting technology to other things besides weapons...

>>473977
Is that a trophy case behind you? It's been a while since I've seen one of those.

Specifics man. Give us examples of recent tech. Also details on the war could be useful. Apparently gods were involved? Also, OPENTHEBOXOPENTHEBOXOPENTHEBOX.

Yes, open the polonium-box!

Kit: Um, lets see...

[He pauses for a bit.]

Kit: Well, I think the thing everyone wants right now are those techpads that can browse the web and video chat.

And the Thousand-Year war? that ended a few, maybe 10 years ago? um, I don't think that was the one with the gods though, it was the one that one lady, uh...Medusa caused.

And this box is locked pretty tight. I've been trying to open it for a few days, now that it's talking to me I really want to see whats inside.

>>473983
Oh, we are the box.
Lets see if this works.

>>473994
We decided to open the box ourselves and it turns out bad idea. We need to fix this quickly.

>>473994
Uhhhh... Yea.
Know how you kinda asked us what was in the box? Well, we decided to take a look... And that started the unsealing process... And we don't really know what's inside, per-se, just that it appears to be a wall of mouthes babbling about hunger.

You should probably find some place that has a lot of food.
Quickly.

No need to panic, the box is just a gift that unwraps itself. On a hypothetical note how would you feel if you were responsible for unleashing an eldritch abomination on your own civilization as punishment for your curiousity?

>>474000
Who's this bitch, and what does she think she's doing to our cool hoverbike!?

Oh gods, the box just jumped to 25%.

That's mostly our fault.
And as for what to do try to communicate with the girl, hopefully she might be able to or she might completely destroy you.

Welp. That counter is going up way to fast for us to find a way to stop it in time.

>>474012
Say the box, us, told you to open it! That the system was curious what was inside. Apparently, we totally forgot about our duties. We saw Madusa eat that dude for some reason though, the guy with the glasses and the lantern. That was jerkish. She'll know what we're talking about.

>>474014
waht? that dude didn't get ate.

>>474012
WE ARE BAD AT OUR JOB, OK?

Well, ok, we didn't actually have any orders, or know what was inside, but it seems like it was a poor judgement call.

>>474014
What? We didn't see her eat anybody.
HEY! MEDUSA! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUY WHO WOKE YOU UP?

>>474012
There were no warnings!

Can you stop it? Hurry up and do so, if you can! The timer is almost up!

[You're in a forest of some sort, you can hear a stream and you can smell smoke.]

>>474041
Let's towards the obvious plot devI mean smoke, yeah, let's towards the smoke.

smoke means fire, and fire usually means civilization.

We've been in a situation like this before, beware falling and getting a damn branch in your leg. Use your arms and guide your body upward, walk your torso up the main truck of the tree with your legs, then you can get down safely.

whatever happened back there wasn't good, that's all I know.

we should probably find someplace safe for the time being, there might be bio's around here...

turn around, see smoke, smoke = fire, fire =someone made a fire.

Might as well keep going toward the smoke.

>>474061
If that's the case, might be his entire hometown. I doubt Boxxy would stop after a quick nosh on only 1 house.

Also, whatever's in the box is now called Boxxy.

Kit: what are you guys saying?

what might have happened?

There is a slight possibility that the box ate everyone within 10 miles of where it was opened. Not saying that happened but who knows.

>>474065
Oh nothing, try calling out to see if anyone is nearby. If nobody answers try looking around.

>>474065
We're saying that if this ended up like a lot of other stuff we've been involved in, your entire hometown is fucked.

Thankfully, that is entirely conjecture, so take that with a grain of salt. Medusa may simply have been able to reseal or weaken it, though probably at a terrible cost.


Also, you're an Animus. Ever heard of them?

Loot the sack and run back into the brush before you check what's inside.

Easy boy you had no way of knowing.
Come on, lets step to it and do it! The saving the day thing. Somehow.
Where there's a will there's a way!

>>474083
Ordinarily I would respond with pessimism, but under the circumstances, yeah, I'll just say there really is hope.

And someone could be still alive and desperately in need of help. I suggest you have a good cry for a bit, then check to see if there's anything or anyone you can salvage.

>>474082
Boy you should focus on your survival right now and I highly doubt you can survive by yourself in these woods.
Somebody was here recently and you need to find them so searching for them.
The very reason I didn't right out to you that everyone you is dead is because...
1.)I'm not really if that's true.
2.)It'd make depressed like you are right now
and finally...
3.)If it did happen I want to make sure that you're prepared for it.
so let's get going.

>>474087
1. What else do you think would happen? Medusa seals Boxxy, quest ends, everyone lives happily ever after? Or Boxxy does absolutely nothing despite being a very hungry elder evil? This isn't exactly a best case scenario.

2. True, but letting him suddenly find his ruined hometown and then going "we knew this would happen but didn't tell you" would be worse. There's really no way not to be depressed by this except self delusion and/or heavy emotional repression.

3. Yeah.

I don't know what I'm gonna do when I find out, but I think I should try to at least get back to see what happened.

[It sounds like someone is coming, did someone hear Kit after all?]

perhaps, hide in a bush if you are scared, if not then stay in the open.

Hey, you were at ground zero of whatever freaky magic thing happened, and you survived! Your town may be fine too.

Check out those noises.

>>474096
Strip naked, impersonate a fox, and go "arf arf arf".

Seriously though, hide in a bush and watch. It might not be someone we want to meet.

Thanks for playing, I look forward to next time. hope you enjoyed the session.
