[Meg is just out for a stroll around the castle, perhaps about to head outside when she notices a familiar thermos out of the corner of her eye.

Oh, Danny. Even for a teenage boy, leaving your crap strewn around the lobby? Really? She picks it up with a sigh and looks it over. She's about to just take it up to his room and leave it outside the door when she senses that it's not entirely empty, and it's not chicken soup that's got her mojo tingling.

This could so easily be a trap, but she's too curious for her own good. She unscrews the top and peeks in cautiously.]

[A bright light erupts from the open end of the thermos, spiraling out in a funnel shape into the room.]

[Meg drops the thermos, shielding her eyes and putting her other hand on her hip, looking more annoyed than anything.

Really, she should have known better.]

[The light flickers off as the thermos hits the ground. Although a closer look might reveal a big glowing red button on one side. Right below an unlabeled switch.]

[Oh perfect, a giant red button. Really, good luck getting the demon not to press the giant red button. It's a button. And it's red. Of course she's going to push it...

hesitantly, of course, followed by immediately backing away.]

[schrodingersghost]

[Luckily the button succesfully triggers the thermos' release mechanism. His parents had invented it. It needed to be idiot proof to survive his Dad.

With another flash of light and a mechanical hum Danny gets pitched out of the thermos and slams into the nearest wall. ]

[putuporshutup]

[Meg blinks a few times and just shakes her head before walking over and very unhelpfully standing over Danny with her arms crossed.]

How in the hell did you manage that one?

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny struggles back to his feet. He was always a little disoriented for the first few moments after getting out of the thermos.]

...I tripped.

[putuporshutup]

[She reaches out to help steady him and shakes her head, amused.]

Seriously?

[sugarwaffo]

Sugar was on her weekly Twinkle hunt today (the frequency of her hunting having gone down some since she arrived, mostly due to her easily distracted personality). The lobby seemed like the best place to hunt twinkles since so many things showed up there. Sugar was a bit confused how random her successes seemed to be though. Sometimes she would find shiny things and the Magic Flower wouldn't grow at all. Others she would find only one or even no shiny things, and yet it would grow more! It made no sense at all. However, it was her duty as a learning season fairy to find more Twinkles.

The fairy hovers above the room, scanning it from her spot when the sunlight hits something. What was that? Whatever it is, it's under the big seat! She zooms over to investigate, landing not far away.

"Twinkle? Where aaare you?"

[schrodingersghost]

[The thermos doesn't move. ]

[sugarwaffo]

It might not move, but Sugar does see it from where she is standing. All new and strange and shiny. And you know what shiny means.

"Twinkle!" Hurrying over, she latches onto the container with a big hug. "I've found you!" The victory hug takes a few long seconds before she feels the need to talk more. "Now to bring you to show Rise!"

Letting go, she walks behind the thermos and starts pushing it towards the open lobby.

[schrodingersghost]

[If Danny could see what was going on right now, he would be very worried. ]

[sugarwaffo]

As he should be. Sugar keeps pushing until they're out from under the couch and heading towards the stairs. In fact, she's pushing so well it hasn't occurred to her how hard it will be to stop this until the thermos crashes right into the first stair with a loud THUNK!

Sorry about that, Danny.

"Wah!" Sugar exclaims as she too runs into the thermos. Rubbing her head a little, she looks up the stairs, which seem rather looming from her perspective. "All right. What now?"

[schrodingersghost]

[Getting a little dizzy now. What was going on out there? ]

[sugarwaffo]

Nothing he would like. Sugar stares at the thermos, rubbing her chin as she thinks. It looks pretty big. Could she carry it?

"Only one way to find out!" She walks over to the handle and grabs a hold of it. Then she hops up and starts working her wings, lifting herself off the ground.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny tries to keep his balance as the thermos starts lurching around. ]

[im_the_doctor]

Passing through the lobby, the Doctor spots the thermos.

"That's odd." The words are spoken to himself as he wanders over, hands stuffed deep in his pockets.

Tilting his head, he looks at the thermos, then around the room. No one in particular is watching him or it. Nor does anyone seem to be looking for something misplaced.

Still. Lifting one foot he toes the thermos. Not sure what he's expecting to happen, after all it looks just like a thermos, but here in the Castle one can never be completely sure.

[schrodingersghost]

The thermos rolls, revealing a large red button on one side.

[im_the_doctor]

The Doctor arches an eyebrow as the thermos presents that large red button. He has a thing for large red buttons. A thing and a very strong compulsion to push large red buttons. So much so that even though he knows he likely shouldn't, especially considering where he is, he shrugs, reaches down and presses it.

[schrodingersghost]

The thermos shakes, and then a bright white light erupts out of one end. Followed by a glowing ghost boy as he gets catapulted out of the device and slams into a nearby wall. He lies there for a moment, and groans.

"Oh man, I hate when that happens."

[im_the_doctor]

"Oh, I wasn't expecting that." Eyebrows up he walks over to the ghost, looking upside down at him. "What's that? Being stuck in the thermos, or running into the wall on exit?"

[schrodingersghost]

Danny floats back up into the air and flips himself back into a standing position. Just one that involved floating several inches above the ground.

"They usually end up being the same thing. Thanks for letting me out. It was starting to get a little boring. And cramped. Very, very cramped."

[im_the_doctor]

The Doctor nods. "How did you get in there to begin with?"

[schrodingersghost]

The ghost's expression sours.

"I tripped, okay?"
