a piece of pizza in a box

[geoschmo]

Indiana Geoschmo approached the Pizaa box trap warily. He pauses for a moment to regain control his breathing and take stock of his suroundings. This was the moment he had worked for all these years. The Pizza Box would finally be his. But only if he could defeat the nefarious device that he knew was protecting it.

He studied the pedastal intently, trying to divine it's inner workings. It was similer to many of the other Pizza box traps he had faced in his years as world famous adventurer and expert in food antiquities. He thought about the time he almost fell to the devious Aztec Calzone wheel of death. He would have to be more careful this time.

Indiana Geoschmo scratched his four day old beard and pulled a small bag from a loop on his pack. He held it in his left hand feeling it's weight as he studied the Pizza box before him, mentally comparing the two. He reached into he bag and pulled out a handful of sand and let it sprinkle through his fingers to the floor.

Finally satisfied the two were equal, he took the Last half-step towards the pedestal. He held his breath and made the switch with a smooothness that showed his years of practice. Removing the Pizza Box from the trap while simultaneously replacing it with the perfectly balanced bag of sand.

He held his breath, but nothing happened. Indiana Geoschmo smiled and turned to leave the cavern. Before he took two steps he felt a low rumble and heard the sounds of stones grinding agaisnt one another. He looked back over his shoulder to see the pedastal that once held the Pizza Box starting to descend into the floor.

Indiana Geoschmo knew he may have only moments to live as he dashed for the exit out of the cavern. Would he make it out alive? Would he live to collect his reward for recovering the lost Pizza Box?

*dogscoff enters trap. Eats pizza, but still isn't satisfied. He begins munching happily on the box.

Was there tuna on that pizza? I can taste fish...

[Ragnarok]

*Ragnarok sees the box from a few yards away and notices that others are getting trapped. So he decides to keep his distance. He begins digging a hole and after an hour or four he digs out of the groun inside the box and eats the pizza, he proceeds to leave through his hole happy he beat the trap.*

clipboard notes: geo fails to make it out of the box. however, at the rate dogscoff is eating the box, not to mention ragnoraks hole, neither of them are going to be in there long.

fills up ragnoraks hole, repairs the box, reinforces the box with steel bars. puts more pizza in the box.

*Acquires box, adds box to inventory*
*Switches 'object in use' from Diazepam to BOXA*
*Sneaks off unseen, cleverly disguised as cardboard box*

Why do you need two? I assumed it was an accidental mispost and closed it. It was confusing to have two nearly identical threads.

Agent Double-Oh Oh sees box with pizza. Confidently walks up to it, the trap springs and Agent Double-OH OH is trapped. Unconcerned about this event he takes a sample and puts in portable analyzer to check for toxins. Finding none he proceeds to eat pizza, as a result of this he puts on a few pounds. After eating two slices he recalls earlier conversation with M and remembers he must fight free radicals. Walks to the lock and studies it, then reaches for his trusty lock picks only to find them missing. after searching around he notices them lying on the ground OUTSIDE the trap well out of reach. Not a problem, he still has his handy-dandy laser cutting watch. he aims the laser at the lock and pushes the on button, after 2 seconds the laser shuts off. Agent Double-Oh Oh looks at his watch and realizes the battery died. (at that moment he sees this pink bunny banging a drum go by and hears from out of nowhere "STILL GOING AND GOING AND GOING...") Next he takes off the heel of his shoe and pulls out a charge of pLastic explosive from its antistatic bag, replaces heel of shoe, stretches detonator from watch to explosive, and places in lock. He moves the required distance away from explosive, then remembers his battery is dead. Agent Double-Oh Oh proceeds to search the box for other ways out but doesnt find any. In frustration he pulls out his cell phone and calls Uncle Q. After a short wait Agent Double-Oh Seven arrives in his new Astin Martin, takes Agent Double-Oh Oh's lock picks and hands them to him, gives him a stern lecture and drives off to meet his russian contact. Leaving Agent Double-Oh Oh in the cage to get himself out. Taking his lockpicks he goes to the cages lock and angrily sticks them in to try and pick the lock. The pick hits the side of the lock and a causes a spark of electricity which sets off the explosive charge. While this does open the lock it also causes severe damage to Agent Double-Oh Oh. After being rescued and sent to the hospital it is determined that the damage is too severe to repair. He has lost his right eye, his right arm and both legs plus his hearing. M recalls a U.S. special project and ships Agent Double-Oh Oh, and the pizza, to the OSS in the United States. M is heard to make the remark "Let the bloody yanks deal with him!".

next scene is a surgery unit in some unknown location in the United States. The Doctor in charge is saying "Gentlemen we can rebuild him. We have the .............."
