stare at the box and say "open sesame", then proceed to put head into box and see if it leads to an alternate dimension.

you put your head in the box. A small voice whispers "John Sixteen Twentyfour" repeatedly.

Again I ask the box "By its name" if it would like to take a walk with me.

The box has no legs, and does not respond.

What would you like to do?

"john 16:24" sounds like a reference to the bible, but I'm neither familiar with it nor do I know the reference. Instead of trying to figure it out I would like to load that gasoline can we had earlier along with MILLA JOVOVICH into the box while fashioning a fuse out of the rope. Hopefully the box is strong enough to act like a cannon firring MILLA JOVOVICH through the wall and providing an exit. I then use those matches to light the fuse.

Hmm given the reference and all, I would suppose the box is named John, as any other "name" would be counter to my personal beliefs, and request that 'john' provide a means of exiting this room and building that would be safe enough for me to survive and continue my existance.

You ask for a means of exiting the room. The box shakes violently.

It can not be a reference to the bible passage named because that passage states,"Ask in my name and it shall be given". The box has been priorly asked in its name and has not responded, for it to respond now is a paradox.

Knowing that paradox is a threat to the very fabric of existence, I take the box and put it into another such box. Then I set the boxes against the wall, open the paradox within a paradox which creates a portal to the outside.

...By Jove, I think he's got it!

You have no box to place this other box in.

The box shakes violently once more. The lid rattles.

Open the box (while preparing to dive to the floor in case ANYTHING should happen)

You open the box, and dive to the floor.

A light shines on the roof of the dark room, as though it was being projected from inside the box. However, from your position on the floor, you cannot see inside.

A voice whispers "ye have asked, and ye have recieved."

Ha! I know how to handle this... The volume on our box is too low, this is a symptom of the box missing drivers... someone call tech support.
Also, cross your fingers and hope it's not running linux.

You attempt to call tech support, but you have no phone to do so. Your vain attempts to contact external help fail again.

What would you like to do?

look for the door.

you look for the door, but cannot find one. The box still illuminates the room from within.

look at the walls, floor and ceiling to determine what they are made of.

The walls floor and ceiling are made from concrete. You decide there's no way you're getting through them without some help. The box is still open, with the light still illuminating the room. You are curious as to what is within the box.

What would you like to do?

Well it has been a long time and while not a pot, It is something to P*$$ in. After releaving myself, I take a nap.

A patient and industrious person can carve away concrete.

So what's in the box?

You look in the box. It appears to be the entrance a long tunnel, which you presume to be complete, as there is light from the tunnel illuminating the room from the inside of the box. The same small voice whispers "You asked for an exit, and an exit ye have recieved. Beyond the tunnel end lies pastures new"

What would you like to do?

Go into the Box?

It's either that or bash my head against the wall due to insanity.

You step into the box, and as you do so, you fall down the tunnel. you fall out the other end, and experience a most strange feeling - the gravity shifts, and the world rights itself again. You are now standing in a room with a window and a door, with a wooden floor. There is a light on the ceiling, and some stairs, going upwards. Under the staircase is a door.

What would you like to do?

(OOC - thank the lord that SOMEONE finally looked inside the box... it took half a page for someone to actually do it!

Also, the box worked as so; John Sixteen-Twentyfour is a passage in the bible, which contains the line "Ask, and ye shall recieve" You asked the box, and it provided.)

Jump out the window. If this a one-storey building, then that means escape into the outside.

If it is two/three-storey building, then at least this suffering will be at an end.

Now that EF has gone through and cleaned up the tunnel by crawling through it. I go through and upon entering the new room look at the area I just emerged from to see if the box exists on this side.

Once done with that I examine the room and finally walk to the window to see what is outside.

You jump out the window. the glass knocks you back, almost as if it was re-inforced. On closer inspection, you wonder why you didn't just use the door.

Sorry to butt in, but Team Survivor is looking for more players .

We can use 1 or 2 more teams, and I'd like to finalize the teams over the weekend for a Monday start.

Please check it out - it's only one move per day.

Thanks!

Since there are no Boots of Escaping, I use the door.

What would you like to do?

Sorry but given the already quoted religious passages I find the box to be at odds with my chosen belief system and take the Constintine option.

Another god d@mn room? The fu$k?! Screw it, burn it down... all of it. Don't bother with the door, don't try the window, burn this mother F*&#er to the ground and piss on the ashes.
Did I mention we have a laser Gatling gun/nuke missle launcher/velociraptor gun/monster truck for an arm? Oh and we turned on infinite ammo and god mode earlier, you see we got this 5+ trainer off some fly by night ftp server back before this whole thing started. Too bad you forgot to stipulate this character isn't an Angry Marine, cause he is now. Because I'm capable of that.
In conclusion our character fires an unnecessarily massive barrage of nukes, lasers , and velociraptors at everything in existence in your entire stupid alternate universe, then he turns on no-clipping and walks home.
Also, theres brownies when he gets there. Don't ask how. Oh and they were awesome by the way.
