Message: <blockquote data-quote="rgordona" data-source="post: 3720496" data-attributes="member: 48445">[Sblock=backfilling]When the scientist requests a paperclip Mr Jones looks slightly down his nose. "A paperclip? Not much of a show in that. You could probably find one in your own pocket." He reaches into his hat and removes a tuning fork, two square prongs attached to a handle. He strikes it and it chimes a pure middle C. When that doesn't fit the holes he reaches in again and produces a whole selection of tuning forks one after another, none of which fit the holes. Finally he gives up and produces a string of brightly coloured, plastic coated paperclips. Each is linked to the previous one to form a chain several meters in length. "There you go" He says, before adding to himself. "Actually that might make quite a good trick if a member of the audience were to pour a few thousand paperclips into the hat first. The linking would be the trick, not the actual appearance."   [/sblock]Mr Jones looks at the flashing grenade and holds it out at arms reach as though it was a bomb before putting it gently into his hat. "Um, guys, I think that machine is linked to all these grenades, and given what happened last time we might not want them to go off all at once. Can you stop the timer?"Mr Jones then produces a traditional wand from his hat, black with white ends. He removes his cloak and gives it an experimental shake, snapping the voluminous material out to get an idea just how much it could cover.[Sblock=GM]Just how quickly are these numbers going down? Are we talking 50 seconds or much less than that? Jones's current thinking is to power stunt (or invent depending on the time) for some kind of affects others teleport and disappear the dangerous machine into the desert or the ocean. (Super heroes never were the greenest of individuals letting a nuclear bomb off in a pristine wilderness and ruining it for all eternity being almost acceptable as long as no one gets hurt.)[/sblock]</blockquote>
