For reasons unknown, an immortal beast has been dropping off random trinkets at your ancestral home for generations. They’re all kept in storage; nobody dares throw them away. Today instead of a trinket, the beast leaves a note with instructions on it.
Turns out all the trinkets were needed. Like a weird puzzle, and we've been collecting pieces. A lot of them don't really make sense, or look like they could fit into anything, but the note, I guess more like a blueprint (the beast is massive and this is like the size of a sticky note to it) looks kinda like Lego instructions.
Actually a LOT like Lego instructions. That's literally the same font and everything. Not Legos though...
The puzzle is assembled. It takes a while, because several of the pieces are quite heavy.
It just looks like a pile of junk, though. Of course, we're missing one piece. Maybe that will actually fix that. Probably not. Maybe the beast still has the last piece.
Yes, it does. It's coming over with another piece now. Everybody is here this time, to witness the beast. We need a better name than "beast".
It steps forward a bit more cautiously, we're crowding around the... machine? Puzzle? Whatever it is. Looks mechanical. The beast is just trying not to step on us.
It places one final piece onto it, and pulls out a small... Is that a remote? Like a tv remote? (er- beast-sized tv remote.)
Yeah. Ok. This totally makes sense. As soon as it clicks one of the buttons, it springs to life, a shape almost identical to itself, but like, mechanical.
It also pulls out a massive boulder of gold, like the size of a house, from directly underground and sets it next to one of the houses, taking a wall of that house with it, but they probably don't care.
The robo-beast stands up, looks at the real beast, and...
Oh I think I know what's going on here.
This lazy idiot didn't want to make its robot bf (beastfriend) itself.
I mean, I'm glad I got to witness it, but uh...
Free gold! Yeah!
