It was just getting dark outside when a figure clad in dark robes came to the door that lead to the home of the Vibrating Ring child, Ryan, and his Guardian, Greloren. After rummaging around in it's sleeves for a moment, it pulled out a cube; a tiny cube, no bigger than a dice. The figure placed the Cube just outside of the door; when the figure stepped away, the cube twisted and turned until it became a box. A white box with a brown and blue ribbon.
The gift given, the robed figure rang the door bell, knocked on the door, or made enough noise to convince the inhabitants to investigate. Knowing that it's gift would somehow be found, it disappeared into thin air, leaving the gift behind.
(( Who finds the item? What do they do with it? Do they open it? Leave it there? Kick it away? RESPOND. ))

"Who-wha-what the hell?" Greloren was startled awake by the pounding at the door. The doorbell hadn't ever worked. Hell, half the time the door itself didn't work. Not without some good kicks, anyways.
Quill flew in, hissing at the closed door. From what the half-elf gathered as he slowly stretched, the little dragon had just managed to get Nadia into the tub and was now frustrated because the girl had gotten startled and was crying and wouldn't go back in. Greloren tried not to laugh as he caught the dragon in midair and tried to soothe it. Quill gave a squawk, managed to free himself, and darted off deeper into the apartment.
Ryan came out of his room, clutching the teddy bear he'd decided upon at the toy store. There had been cars and trucks and the boy had debated on each of them, but the bear was just too cute and soft to resist! He peered around the corner of the living room as Greloren opened the door.
The half-elf swore as he saw no one there. Which... probably was more of a good thing anyways. It could've been his landlord wanting rent... or someone coming to say that he owed them money for whatever reason. He was late on several bills.
Greloren went to close the door, the package unnoticed, when Ryan cried out. "Wait!" The boy darted forward, ducking under his guardian's legs to grab the pretty box.
"Don't open it!" Greloren shouted as he realized what the boy had picked up. It could be a bomb!! However, his cries were too late matched with an eager toddler's unwrapping abilities.

The box flew open.
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFREEDOM!" Shrieked a happy little grey smoke creature, so excited about it's sudden lack of imprisonment that it threw it's hypnodisk to the side, accidentally. "Haaaaaaaaaai." A two-fingered hand lifted and waved at the pair, before twisting and bouncing around the room.
"Ohheydisk." It chittered out after stopping on the spot across the room, it's huge, dim-witted eye staring a hair's width away from it's disk. It picked up it's item and went bounding around the room again, twirling around Ryan, going right through him, and stopping in front of Greloren's face, grinning a wide, toothy grin.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaai." It keened out, licking the half-elf's face with a huge, slobbering tongue.

"ACK!" As the little smoke creature appeared, Ryan screamed and ran for his room, stumbling his way past his guardian's legs, his teddy bear forgotten as he fled for his life, still screaming.
Greloren blinked at the little stupid creature, watching as it picked the disk up that it had dropped. "What... the HELL are you?" He demanded of the thing, only to have it lick him in the face. "GROSS! OUT OUT OUT!" He shouted, pointing at the still open door. "GET THE HELL OUT!"

"I'mameeeeee!" It shrieked happily, hugging the funny angry man's face and nuzzling it's thankfully closed eye into the bridge of his nose. It chittered happily in a language that either didn't exist or was complete gibberish, right up until it was shouted at.
"NuhhuhnotleaveNEVEREVERIlikeithereyaaaaaaaay!" Cheering, it shot away from Greloren's face, bouncing around the room and pausing again in front of him, not as close this time and, probably luckily, with it's mouth now closed and invisible.
"Funnymandoafavor?" Clearly, this thing thought they were the best of friends.

Greloren reached up to pull the annoying thing off his face, but apparently he'd ticked it off and it was now bouncing about the room like a child on a sugar rush. He glanced about and spotted a week old newspaper in a nearby pile of junk. Grabbing it, he rolled it up and swatted at the annoying thing as it hovered near his face again.
"Favor? Why the hell would I? No! OUT OUT OUT!"
Quill flew back into the living room, curious as to what all the noise was about. He chirped, diving when Greloren turned, still swinging about the newspaper.

The thing shrieked when the newspaper was swung at it, exploding into a puff of smoke as it was hit and reforming a few feet away, holding it's head like it was dizzy. A second swing came and the thing screamed, throwing it's hypnodisk at Greloren's head. It wasn't heavy and it certainly wasn't going to hurt, but damnit it was going to protect itself!
"Funnymannotfunny!Amjustdoingjoooooob~!" The tiny creature was wailing mournfully, dramatically slumping it's shoulders and making a general show of being upset.
It fell to the ground then and closed it's eye, becoming just a smokey blob on the floor.

"Oy! Hey!" Greloren ducked as the disk sailed through the air at his head.
Quill chirped scoldingly at the half-elf, settling on the floor next to the wailing blob. He gave a crooning trill, nuzzling at the smokey form.
Greloren sighed, rolling his eyes at the pair. Slowly, something the little thing had said triggered a response in the half-elf's brain. "Job? What job? What are you talking about?"

A two fingered hand appeared out of the mass of smoke, patting the little dragon's snout. Aww, there was at least something that sympathized with it! Greloren's inquiry made the creature reform itself and jump about excitedly, dancing around Greloren.
"Jobjob!VeryimportantjobentrustedtoMEEEEEE!" It's arms flung wide and then one hand extended...which was about when it realized it wasn't holding a disk. It stared at it's empty hand, and will a chittering noise it bounced around the room until it found it's disk.
"FunnymanandbumpyboyneedtogotoBalcombeCuriousities." It said from the other side of the room, staring at it's disk, not yet using the hypnotizing power on the man.

Quill gave a bit of a start as the creature went from depressed to hyper once again. He chirped as the thing bounced about the room, flapping his wing to take to the air as well.
Greloren groaned as the air was filled with things flying about once more. Then he heard what the thing had to say. Funny man... that apparently was him. The thing had said that before. Bumpy boy, well if he couldn't figure that one out...
"Why?" He didn't really want to show his face back in that shop. The first time, he'd ended up with a second-hand sex toy. Uh... yeah. That was bad enough. The second (and last!) time had been when he'd demanded an explanation on Ryan's sudden appearance. He was convinced that Switch hated him and wouldn't want him around ever again.

"Ladythereneedshelp!Robethingsaysso.Funnymanhelps?" It asked, fluttering over to Greloren, just dangling it's hypnodisk for now. It floated to flutter around upside down, staring at Greloren with it's giant blue eye. It held out it's hypno disk, swaying it back and forth.
"Funnymanhelps?" It repeated in a flatter tone than usual.

"Robe thing?" What the heck was this thing talking about. Lady was obviously Switch, but... his eyes caught the disk as it swayed back and forth. Helping seemed like a good idea. "Yes... help." He muttered, a bit dazed. He started for the door, but remembered that Ryan was supposed to come too.
"Ryan!" The half-elf called, turning to Quill. "You stay with Nadia."
Quill hissed, unhappy about being stuck as babysitter. Ryan slowly peered around the corner of the living room, stopping when he spotted the hovering thing.
"We're going to the store where you came from." When the boy didn't budge, the half-elf added, "With the nice lady." That made Ryan a bit more eager to come along, though he kept Greloren between himself and the smoke creature.
