do you want me to rt this or

It is our belief that this artifact's effect was exacerbated by it activating after midnight. Agents are reporting a phenomenon known as a "silliness hangover." We do not believe that this side effect is dangerous and it should fade on its own. If it does not, report to the Archivist at once.

The Archivist takes the Egg. Your fingers touch... He places it back on the shelf, and then he takes your hand and leads you out of stacks to his loft...

...and what happens next... well... use your imagination.

[ YOU WIN. I GUESS ? ] 🏳️‍🌈

The Archivist's gaze trails down to your neutralizer-soaked shirt, clinging to your skin. He coughs and glances away, a pink blush dusting his cheeks. "Great job, but you should get a change of clothes... I don't have anything t'fit you, so if y'don't mind wearin' my clothes while yers get clean..."

You have a picture of this moment forever, now.

You spill the powder back into its purple container. It's contained now, and you have a nostalgic souvenir.

[ YOU WIN!!!!! ] 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The neutralizer flows, viscous, towards the egg, and envelops it. It sparks briefly, and then settles. It is now reachable! Unfortunately, you will have to get all neutralizer-slimy in order to get it. :(

The Archivist looks down at you, brow furrowing. "Hmm... that's a good idea." He nods. "That's very smart of you, Agent Asgore. I happen to have some neutralizer with me." He offers you a canister. "Care to do the honors?"

The other agent gets back to you and says that yes, the time DID change for them!!! Even though they didn't change their watch!!!

:(

The glasses sizzle. Your [ RIZZ STAT ] has been restored from [ - 5 ] to [ 0 ].

As you twist [ RUTH BELVILLE'S POCKET WATCH ], your watch changes to match it.

Deep under the shelf, you see a [ NUREMBERG EGG ] that has fallen. As you reach for it, however, time slows to a crawl, and the closer you reach, the slower you move. What do you do?
