...They took that. They put it in a glass bubble and it turned into fog. They attached the box to this one later. Sometimes the hand talks to the box." Lilitha reaches toward you, and absently gropes her own face. She seems confused. Lilitha tells you, "That one is... The box hasn't seen flesh poison in... in a long time." Lilitha tells you, "Person. The box meant person." Lilitha tells you, "They took the box outside in a cloud. It's nothing but purple. You could fall forever, and everything was bent this way and that. But in some places there were blue ribbons that crackled and danced." Lilitha tells you, "There were things around the ribbons. They looked like glowing water and trailed strings of jelly. They turned as the box went by and poked each other with the jelly-strings. They were the size of houses. Maybe. Size doesn't work right outside." Lilitha tells you, "Temenua. That one caught the box as it slept. It brought the box to a child, and the child gave it to these things." An angry blush colors Lilitha's cheeks, and an unexpected gleam rises in her eyes... Lilitha tells you, "It BOUND me. No one EVER --" ... but a faint, glissando shriek comes from her head. She flinches, and the gleam dies as quickly as it came. Lilitha tells you, "The box attends the master." Lilitha tells you, "Attentive." Lilitha blinks at you uncomprehendingly. Lilitha tells you, "Why is that one on the other side of the wall?" Lilitha tells you, "They took the box apart twice. First they looked for what was inside the box, but they said it was empty. Then they wanted to know what made the box go." Lilitha tells you, "They did it with blue lights. They drew lines on the box and it fell to pieces." Lilitha tells you, "They wouldn't let the box move. The box watched it happen, until the light reached its eyes." Lilitha tells you, "It... hurt me..." Lilitha abruptly falls to her knees and begins to retch, hugging herself tightly. Lilitha tells you, "Does that one see the hand? It is not the box's hand. They took that. They put it in a glass bubble and it turned into fog. They attached the box to this one later. Sometimes the hand talks to the box."
