[QUOTE="The Crimster, post: 160988, member: 2511"] [i]The symbol does not look familiar to anyone - except for Alex. Alex, you could have sworn you once painted something very similar to this during your brief flirtation with cubism, quite a while ago. Now that you think about it - that was the first picture that Alan bought from you.[/i] Randy looks up at the others. "No, nothing yet, I'll let--" He is suddenly cut off as he opens the large drawer. It certainly slides open easily enough. But when Randy see what it contains however, his mouth opens in a mixture of shock and disgust. The drawer is filled completely to the rim - with a swarming, undulating [i]mass[/i] of what at first appears to look like [b]bees[/b]. They are small, with striped bodies and bulbous heads. But instead of yellow and brown - they are striped with black and a rather bilious green. Randy utters a gasp of shock, and immediately tries to close the drawer - but to his horror, it is in some way wedged open. The bees... [i]erupt.[/i] No other word can describe it. Almost like a geyser they shoot out of the drawer and hit the ceiling, where they immediately begin to spread out. [i]All of you watch this happen, and are literally stunned [color=red](ooc: surprised)[/color] by what you see.[/i] A low muted and rhythmic thrumming sound seems to also come from the creatures. It definitely reminds you of bees, but pitched so high it almost hurts your ears. [i]Randy, you look in awe at where the bees come from. There is no way such a drawer of that size could contain so many of these... things. Then you truly see what is in the drawer - blackness. It appears to contain the utter blackness of space, punctuated by a few lonely stars in the distance. Looking into the drawer is like looking into a night sky. You can slightly see ground near what must be the 'bottom' part - but the ground is made of some type of reddish sand. You see mountains in the distance, looking like blunted crags on some unknown world. You can even feel a hot, bitter wind coming from the drawer, that smells slightly of burning rubber. You realize that while you are looking [/i]down[i] into the drawer, the view is as if you were looking [/i]across[i] a sandy plain - you feel your stomach lurch, and your mind seems to go numb for a second with what you see. Then you begin to feel the stinging, and you realize that the other-worldly bees are crawling on you.[/i] [/QUOTE]
