[Hello Asgard, it's Norman again in his winter jacket and wrapped up in his long red scarf. He's currently giving the feed an incredulous look while sitting on the ground next to Mary and her dog house. (Which may be strange in itself because Mary is actually a green colored sheep.) There's also a giant robot in the background, but that's not Norman's problem.]

Has anyone else been seeing weird box...things floating around? They errr sort of glow too.

[To show that he's NOT crazy, Norman tilts the feed view up so that there's a brightly colored, glowing box hovering above Mary's house.]

Think it's radioactive? [He's probably going to take it down anyways, but he wanted to ask first.]

((ooc: The prize box plot is now GO! Details are here, and Norman will be responding ICly after he's opened it to reveal what's inside. Your character can comment with what they found as well!))

[A few seconds of video flash on after the text cuts out - a small grey troll with cat-like horns and a kitty hat is indeed pawing at the bracelet's display, looking a great deal more anxious than the text let on.]

It can't be true, nuh uh, I was just having a furry furry bad dream...oh no! Oops.

[She notices her mistake with the transmission, and this time it cuts off finally.]

[There is a metallic clanking and a bit of shuffling as Hugo orients himself around a massive piece of metal and gears now settled in his lap, fingers testing a bolt here and then gripping a thin steel rod there that in turn makes a wheel move and with it the next. He smiles as the wheels spin in the air and the rods cycle up and over without catching.  When he is satisfied he turns his creation into view.

An engine, one nearly the length of his arm. What had begun as a small idea and a small project has grown and now as he sets it on the ground has taken shape in dusty black and red metals and large silver wheels, rough at the edges, but all in all a fine looking locomotive for what he had to work with and his lack of practice.

And as a final touch the name "Cabret" is painted in bright golden yellow on the side, just above a few dent marks left by his hammers.]

I need somewhere to test this...

[He lifts up a handful of coals from a nearby table where crude but workable track pieces sit in a stack ready and waiting to be laid out somewhere.]

...any ideas?
