Username: TimeothyHour
Name: A lamp
Species: Lamp
Gender: None
Color: #A08000
Description: An ordinary red metal desk lamp. Its slightly dented hemispherical dome, facing downwards, lacks a lightbulb. It has an on-off switch and a dimmer on its base. There is still a tag attached: it is an IKEA "KAOSDÖD" lamp.
Weapons/Abilities: The lamp has no apparent abilities. Lacking a lightbulb, it cannot even illuminate the world around it.
The world not around it, however...
Biography: The lamp was abandoned in a rubbish tip after its first owner died unplugging it.
A homeless man pulled it from the trash and tried it in the junkyard generator he had scrounged. No one missed him. The generator eventually ran out of gas and stopped.
Police recovered the lamp after a runaway cooking fire destroyed an apartment block near the junkyard. The evidence officer thought it was for use. The precinct later reappeared in Tahiti, crumbling and empty of people.
