Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Entry 1

Classification: Clear

This item is relatively harmless.

Location: Canberra 

Canberra is the capital of Australia and is renowned for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and cool, new edge. The state boasts some of Australia's most important national institutions, including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum of Australia, and Parliament House.

The item was found by a man on vacation who was exploring Canberra and came upon the object, which was resting randomly on the floor. Soon the man began using the object, and reports of a vanishing man made their way to the organisation.

The item has now been retrieved and is being put to use in a large, 1 mile-high, and long facility to test the limits of the object.

Description: Pocketwatch 

A lightweight golden portable device with a small knob, i.e., button, at the top of the device that, when pressed, allows you to tell how much time has passed since or will pass before sunrise and how long is left 'til or has passed since sunset, without the need to observe any other factors such as the sun, moon, or stars.

Oddly, the device, instead of moving clockwise, actually moves in reverse, which makes it seem broken.

Effects: Teleportation 

When a person presses the knob, i.e., the button on top of the device, they shall fade into a pitch black star-shaped hole that opens in thin air, and within 30 metres, they shall appear in a random spot as the star shall open up and spit them out in a way in which they will land on their feet.

This special phenomenon found through experimentation cannot bypass solid walls, and only the person themselves can move through space, meaning no items or other people can come along. If one knows where they wanted to appear within the 30 metre radius, they can effectively dissipate and reappear as much as they'd like relative to how fast they can press the knob.
