[Not too long ago the Command Car belonging to the 13th Genoace Team returned from parts unknown. Interestingly it seems to be festooned with rather ornate looking spears across its body. About a day or two ago Calvin figured he would try to follow up on one of the clues that the guidestone offered up.]
[While the team itself was no worse for wear, Calvin on the other hand looked like a half drowned rat when he stepped out of the car and was holding onto what looked to be an absurdly ornate egg carved out of solid gold, bearing a number of carvings depicting both death and rebirth.]
[Now sequestered back in his quarters, Calvin is huddled on his chair with a towel and a hot cup of coffee and trying to relax.]
-We hold power beyond imagination.-
-I hold the power to sift through dreams-
-I hold the power of life itself.-
Yes. I'm very sure the both of you do. Pipe down.
[And as it turns out the first artifact, a rather sinister looking mask as well as the egg could speak. And they are clearly not exactly the most benign of objects.]
-You cannot deny us forever.-
Please tell me we have soundproof boxes.

Do not be a poor host, I do not think the mask likes being thrown like that.

[Calvin lets the mask land in his hands once more, ceasing his throwing.]
It probably doesn't. Then again I doubt anyone likes to have to deal with its whispering and tempting either.

[He stares at the mask.]
Usually less than benign sentient artifacts try to tempt people into using them, its either to control them or place some kind of curse.
And I definitely think that these things are anything but benevolent.

What of the egg? What does it ask of people?
From:
no subject
That.
[Calvin sighs, shaking his head as he just lays the mask back on the table.]
Apparently the people who had it before it was sealed away were fond of bloodletting. Being centered around death and rebirth, blood plays a big part of that from how it probably worked from the looks of the carvings.
