What do Lantern’s shadow hands do?

Lantern looks over the question with some thought.

Lantern: these hands are creations from my lantern, if I have to be honest, I do not know the full capabilities of them. What I do know is that they act as extra hands for me.

Wax: THey they’re preTtY COOl and…oh oh nO

Glass, if you angled yourself a certain way, could you burn stuff using the light from the sun?

Glass: ummm I-I-I never thought of d-doing that…ma-maybe that w-would work? Th-the sun do-doesn’t shine where I-I usually li-live so I wouldn’t k-know

Has anyone come and checked on you guys???

Glass: th-the last th-thing I w-want is any-anyone checking on m-me!

Glass goes back onto a wall of the box, walking as far as he can from the light projected by the ask

Wax: checking checking implies somebody put us in here! Sure sure we woke up here only days ago but I’m Lantern will find a way out!

Wax points to Lantern, the man is thinking carefully, a shadowy hand on his shoulder notices and does a shushing motion, it then returns to grasping onto Lantern

Wax: although although I hope it will be soon, Puppet is already a little bit…stir stir crazy

Puppet is pacing around the box, mumbling to himself, however due to the strings, he looks like he is gliding a little bit off the floor

Puppet: I haven’t preformed in days, people will forget about me, I’ll be a nobody! Can you get us out, please!

what songs does Puppet like to perform?

Puppet: oh old broadway tunes and this familiar one called Daddy’s song, it seems so familiar I don’t know why

Puppet shrugs

Puppet: I’m sure that doesn’t mean anything

What’s your favorite kind of owl?

Lantern looks at the ask with some thought

Lantern: I assume that you are talking to me here…to be honest, I do not really have a favourite owl overall, owls are few in the Box after all, but if you really want an answer, I shall say the Barn owl, a simple answer to be sure but a beautiful owl nevertheless.

how’s living in the box?

Lantern: seems we have our first ‘ask’… it is…interesting. I do not have a place to call my own, so I wander.

Puppet leans over and looks at the ask projected by Lantern’s lantern

Puppet: oh personally it’s a dream! I get to preform for a wonderful crowd of adoring fans. You should come sometime and bask in my glory

Wax springs from his sleeping position, a puddle on the floor, reforming into a vague Micky shape

Wax: lonely lonely! I I don’t get many visitors so this is actually better.

Lantern sighs and turns to Glass

Lantern: and you Glass?

Glass makes an Eep noise, he exits from the wall and into the 3-D environment of the Box, he is still 2-D

Glass: h-h-horrible, th-the party goes on for-forever I-I can’t sleep. At l-l-least here I can have a-s-some peace and quiet

[layersofthebox]

Lantern: there we go, now what does the box have in store for us now?

Puppet: I sure do hope it’s a way out, I have an audience waiting for me after all

Crash!

Puppet: WAX! Urgh! You’re all over me!

Wax: sorry sorry! I I was right in the middle of stabilising when I ended up here.

Lantern: quiet you two, now where is Glass?

Puppet leans on the wall

Glass: ow! P-p-puppet! Don’t l-lean on m-me…

Puppet turns around

Puppet: found him

Lantern: Now, hello mystery blue box, I am Lantern, I am stuck here with Puppet, Wax and Glass, if this blue box can provide help, it would be much appreciated.

RULES

Keep it PG! All NSFW asks will be deleated

You can try asking about the Tulpas pasts

Make sure to specify who it is you are asking too

You can send stuff to the Tulpas, just don’t expect it to get through

Who are the Tulpas?

The Tulpas are corrupted versions of the Monkees, basically a bad ending of Head where they couldn’t escape, the four Monkees have been twisted into their own completely seperate selves, memories may be spotty.

The Tulpas

Guiding Lantern (Peter Tork)

A serious white jumpsuited man who wanders the Box, he carries a lantern in his right hand that never goes out. He also has shadowy hands clinging onto himself and one that is always over his right eye.

Star Puppet (Davy Jones)

A wooden puppet clad in a black and white suit, he is rather pompous and a tad full of himself, he is controlled by an unseen force that he calls the Viewer. He always loves a good performance.

Melting Wax (Micky Dolenz)

A wax figure that resembles Micky, he’s really friendly and touchy feely despite the fact that he’s a constantly melting and reforming pile of wax, a delight to be around, that’s until he gets…UnStaBle

Stained Glass (Mike Nesmith)

A stained glass picture come to life clad in pyjamas, he is very nervous and anxious. Has a stutter and breaks easily, he REALLY does not like parties at all. Able to go from the walls to the 3-D world easily, he likes to be alone.
