Theme Music is now mandatory

The dank passageway turns quickly from stone to steel, and the built-in glowing lanterns have turned to primitive steampunk light bulbs. The corridor branches out, and the strangest sight thus far reveals itself: factories and machinery as far as the eye can see. Buckets of iron pipes and stone tools can be seen near the entrance, and light bulbs are present throughout the space that can be seen, though none are lit up... just as well, since this place must be ancient.

A small, fenced courtyard occupies the area around this entrance, and beyond the massive gate arch, it's factories for hundreds of yards.

The acid is sprayed, and quickly melts through the old-world door, burning a perfect hole in the wood.

A trap door on the ceiling opens up, depositing two perfectly-wrapped presents on a side table next to Jones and Owen.

Jones blinks. This certainly wasn't the trap that he had expected to possibly trigger. "Good girl Ursula. Return." He calls back the Tentacool, the door momentarily forgotten as he goes to examine the parcels.

The presents are the very definition of a perfectly-wrapped gift box, and emanating from the boxes seem to be an aura of goodwill. Strangely, one is marked "Young man", and the other is marked "Old man".

"Well, curiousity is certainly a vice of mine..." Owen mumbled, and gingerly took the box apparently meant for him, shaking it gently as he held it to his ear. "Whatever could it be? ...Do you suppose some shy, generous Pokemon is watching us, or... could some clairvoyant ages hence have somehow foreseen our visit here today? Crudely imitated surroundings that would be familiar to us to attract our attention? To what end?"

The box doesn't show any hints of what it contains, but something like this surely contains no traps. Good graces indeed!

With a gleeful grin that belied his age, Owen unrapped the box. "Well, let's see if its contents shed any light on the mystery!"

Jones grins slightly, and opens up the one marked "Young Man".

The boxes are opened... Jones's box containing something heavy wrapped in cloth, and Owen's containing something light... both have notes inside.

Merry Arceusmas to Jones


Merry Arceusmas to Owen


Enclosed under Jones's letter is an ornate dagger... the blade is clean, white, otherworldly, and the hilt has a profile of Arceus carved into it. (Light Slashing, +1 DB, causes Injury on 18-20)

Under Owen's letter, he finds... a pair of sunglasses? They have gold trim, the tint absolutely cannot be seen through, and do look rather badass. (+2 to Guile, Charm, and Intimidate when worn)

Jones smiles tightly, strapping the dagger to his hip and placing the letter in his pack. Turning back to the door, he'll carefully reach through and attempt to open the door from the inside.

The other door opens easily, unlocking itself. In this door, there appears to be a single hallway, no door on the other side, or anywhere else. An open passageway is at the end, and a little window is on the left side, styled like a receptionist's desk. This truly is like a doctor's office...
