a piece of pizza in a box

[narf poit chez BOOM]

it's a reinforced box with steel bars, teleport proofing, quick-closing doors and a 50,000 volt anti-*mechanic* device. yeah, i got a bit confused. single airlock, which has 2 doors. so dingocats have delusions and doesn't have any pizza.

adds temporal shielding. changes the double doors to transporters and walls. transporter, wall, transporter, wall.
cooks another pizza and eats it. hey, why should you be getting all the pizza?

Chronon, currently traveling with Zaphod Beeblebrox in the Heart of Gold, suddenly smells pizza. "Zaphod, do you smell pizza?" he asks.
"Yeah, man, we've just appeared in some kind of strange box with a pizza, and some really weird aliens," Zaphod replies. "Which reminds me, I'm hungry. Marvin, could you come here please?"
"I suppose you want me to go and get the pizza for you," says Marvin dejectedly.
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"All this computing power, and what do they want? A servant. Marvin, open the door, Marvin, get the pizza, Marvin, deactivate the traps..."
"Did he say something about traps?" asks Chronon.
"Yeah, whatever..." replies Zaphod.
Marvin exits the Heart of Gold, disarms the traps, and retrieves the pizza.
"Thanks Marvin," mumbles Chronon, mouth full of pizza.
"Hey, this would go great with a Pan-Galactic Gargle BLaster," muses Zaphod, reaching for a glass.
Eddie the shipboard computer, re-engages the Infinite Improbability Drive and the Heart of Gold disappears...

Hmm, I think I'll stay away... As delicious as it might be, I'm not going to risk being trapped in there just for a piece of pizza. I can just go to the pizza restaurant down the street and buy an entire pizza for about $10. I might be more motivated to go into the box if there were something more significant in there.

Fyron walks up to the box. He casts a spell of metal-shaping on it, and forms a large hole. Luckily, he was far enough back that the stampede of escaping victims does not crush him. He goes in, grabs the pizza, and walks out.

All those who approach the box hear a song wallowing from within. It's a song of despair and sorrow, sung with a deep voice:

"
Nooooobody knows,
the trouble i've seen,
Nooooobody knows,
but Jesus...
"



The sound of a tin can clattering against metal bars can also be heard from within...

*tink*tink*tink*

May the Schwartz be with you

[Fyron]

You can escape from the hole I made!

Taz stands next to box and sets it for two days ago. Box disappears as Taz goes back in time.
He then walks to where box will be and presses the return button.
Taz materializes beside the pizza within the box.
Quickly grabbing the pizza, he again goes back in time.
Taz then walks out of box area and again hits the return to present button.

...until he realized the time machine was an ACME product - made by a corporation that had kept its third-rate merchandise in stores through sleazy political machinations and bribery. The Time machine malfunctions: Taz gets transported to the present inside the box, with no pizza and trapped with everyone else...until Fyron warps the box and lets everyone run willy nilly out of the box, that is. The pizza goes over a time-space anomaly at the exact point Taz gets an idea, thereby keeping the whole Time-travel fiasco from ever happening. Lastly, the time machine goes back to the moment it was born...but since it never was born, it ceases to exist entirely

(That's what I get for reading articles about time-space continuums and corporate scandals... )
