The eyes have it!

Hello again!

A few souls will have seen these before, some in the flesh, but I thought I would include here them as I'm a bit of a completist ...

May I present:-

                                                      The Eye

A square wooden box with old Chinese coins nailed to its faces
The warded box, closed.









The box contains a horrible eye!
Open...






















The Vision Flask
Hip Flask with an evil eye and horrible mottled skin.
It keeps an eye on what you drink...


These were both obtained from a particularly dense skein of the timestream, and very little is known about them; whether or not they are connected in any way is a matter of some conjecture...

Ah, you're still here? Excellent. Let's begin...

My Name is Hektor Plasm, and I am a Chronopirate and Temporal Artisan. 

What does that mean?

Aha, tricky... basically, Chronopirates plunder the seas of time and space, and retrieve things... It's all above board, probably.
It's a bit of a lucky dip really, like fishing around in the murk at the bottom of a pool- you can never tell what might turn up...
The past and the future are rather tangled, and sometimes an excursion* doesn't turn up a tangible artefact at all, more of just an impression, or with luck, an image- of something. That's where the Temporal Artisans come in. If we can't grab it- perhaps we can make it... and if someone wanted to swap it, say for money...

(* It is rare that a Chronopirate actually leaves the here and now; it is extremely hazardous, and so much safer to just plunge about in the timesoup and see what turns up in the spoon, if you will.)

Things like this, for example:-


Martian Heat Ray- Probably from the unfortunate Wells' Expedition of 1903
Sadly, time flies like an arrow (fruit flies...etc, ahem) and so bringing back fully functional devices is unlikely- so no antimatter bombs or Lemurian Majic Stones, for example- at least not really dangerous ones...

If anyone asks- they're just props, ok?


I'm always open to ideas- drop me a line below if you are looking for something particular, and I'll see what can be done!

Greetings!


Welcome to the first of a series of occasional disjointed bubblings from a badly- maintained brain. Please pull up a lump of something, sit down and make yourself comfortable.
Ready? Never mind- here we go...
