Byron comes into the classroom with a mug that says "#1 DAD!".

"Greetings students! I apologize for my absence in the latter part of last week if you attempted to come by my office. I was unavoidably called away! It's my understanding that some of you were faced with, and repelled an otherworldly threat! I'm very pleased to hear this. If any of you would like to write a page or two about your experiences, or of an interview of some involved party, you will receive extra-credit should you turn it in next week."

As he spoke, Byron's Montel Williams broach began to glow.

"Now, I'd like you all to get out the amulets you made for homework and we'll discuss..." He noticed the glowing finally. "Pardon me."

He concentrated for a moment and sighed. "Ooooh Rusty Rusty Rusty... I shall return momentarily! Tannim! Walter! You are in charge. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves!"

He grabbed an edge of his cape and wrapped it around himself with a flourish. A spiral of smoke curled up around him and when it dissipated, he was gone.

After a few minutes, a larger spiral of smoke came up from the floor at the head of the classroom, when it cleared Orpheus was standing there with a large cylindrical object with a few tubes up top and green smoke seeping from various seems and connections. And also a robot.

"Alright kiddies, change of plans." He said stepping away from the cylinder. "THIS object you see before you is called a Joy Can. Let NOT the name mislead you! For this is an infernal device. While created by science, it has properties not of this realm. And there is currently a young lady trapped within it. Now," he said putting his fingers to his temples and glowing momentarily. "The victim is not currently under any duress. She is unaware of her predicament. Her physical, mental, and spiritual well being isn't currently in any danger. But the sooner we get her out of there, the better... Yes, I said we. You are all going to help get her out. For this particular device, it helps to know something about the person trapped within in order to free them. It is highly likely you all know more about whoever it is then I..."

"The Joy Can probes the occupant's mind to discover his or her deepest desires and then makes them believe these things are coming to pass. For this reason the... inventor placed the locks on the inside... Only the occupant can open the door and come out. Unfortunately, all knowledge the occupant has about the Joy Can's existence is suppressed by the device itself. The Joy Can craves purity, it devours purity, and thus keeps them within that it might continue to feed off their emotions. So the occupant must decide that they wish to leave whatever unearthly delights provided for them.

This goes back to what I spoke of last week regarding willpower and faith. To bring the young lady out we must appeal to her with something about which she cares more about then whatever the Joy Can might be showing her. This mechanical man witnessed a young girl about the right age to be a student here with red hair enter the joy can. Is that not right Helper?"

Helper nodded and made electronic beeping meeping noises not unlike Beaker from the Muppet Show.

"How many female students have long red hair, and of those, are there any unaccounted for?"

H.E.L.P.eR. stood off to the side fretting, did you know robots could fret? The Joy Can hummed and leaked some more smoke.

[[ooc: Joy Can and Robot modded with permission. ~~More information about the Joy Can will be given in OCD.~~ ETA-Main post updated ~~Please wait for OCD~~ OPEN This is part one. Part two with the resolution of the problem will be posted Monday ~~morning~~ as I would like to incorporate any suggestions you might come up with. ETA the 2nd: If you would like to be tempted by the Joy Can, please ping the ooc thread with a bit of direction. It can be something good or the Joy Can can even be wrong. Byron won't let you enter the can however. ETA the 3rd: This is going quite well and I know people need to sleep and work so I'll post part 2 in the evening. Also, if you would like to use a particular power or item on the Can, please ping me in the ooc thread with a quick idea of what it does and I'll do my best to accommodate you. What each person sees in the can when it tries to tempt them is ONLY seen by that person, fyi.]]

The hum of the Can, talking of the other students, and the muffled laugher of some girl inside.

Willow made notes of that.

She knocked again, this time trying "Shave and a haircut" but holding off on the "two bits."

There's a long long pause.

But the "two bits" does happen.

"It seems the power of comedy is quite strong."

Willow looked pleased. "Oh! Go me! Now how do I get a knock knock joke in there?"

"I'm... not... sure." Orpheus. "But you certainly get points for thinking outside the box... Or Can... As it were."

"Maybe with a spell of some kind?" Willow asked.

"I wouldn't be surprised if you could get an object into the Can with a spell, however, she might not see it unless it were an object of great importance to her."

"So I should disguise it as toilet paper."

"While I don't argue the importance of tee pea, I doubt she has a strong emotional attachment to it... Or... At least... I rather hope not."

"Okay, not to be all back talky but you did say important," Willow said. "And I don't know anybody who doesn't think toilet paper is really useful to have around. Unless we're talking about somebody who doesn't have a backside, but if that was the case I don't think you would've identified her by her hair color."

"I... Can not argue with any part of that. Nor would I want to if I could."

"So a glamour of some kind to make a knock knock joke about getting out of the can look like toilet paper until she touches it?" Willow suggested.

"I must confess, I'd quite like to see you try this."

Willow started making notes on the spell. "I can adapt something I've used before. Also I'll include the redhead solidarity sign on the paper."

"Red. Head. Solidarity sign?"

"Ooops. I've said too much!"

Byron's world is well and truly rocked.

"...Kay." he says slowly. "Go ahead."

"Thank you!" Willow said, and got to work on her spell.

Byron watched with interest.
