As you wander around the various displays and houses, you happen to glance towards a tall oak tree nearby. Oh! There are lights on in the treehouse now - guess Birdy was just waiting for Halloween itself to come before opening? (Or more likely she lost track of time, but shh...)
You make your way up to the house, and knock on the door. A muffled "Come in" is your reply, so you do just that.
Upon entering, you see a green-coloured alien Aisha tinkering with a strange sort of box. (The box, you think, looks vaguely familiar, with two levers sticking out of it on the front, and a small shelf nestled between the levers which looks just the right size to hold a small cube.)
"Hello, there," the alien says to you, glancing up from his work. "You're here for some treats, I presume?" Upon seeing you nod, he continues.
"Well, I'm not sure if I can promise that, since I admit I'm not even entirely sure what this contraption is supposed to do," he sighs. "All I do know is it was thrust at me this morning as Ms. Wyndham rushed out the door, babbling something about 'not having time', and 'would I pretty please do something with this', and 'thank you so much I really owe you one have a nice day bye'.
"I assume," he continues, picking up some small objects that make an oddly satisfying click-clack sound as they knock together in his hand, "that if one were to drop these dice in the top, and then pull one of the levers, that something would happen. That is mere speculation though, as I wasn't given any instructions other than this," he says, motioning to a piece of paper with barely legible scribbles on it. "From what I can make out, I think one is supposed to put in the name of an 'OweCea' as they roll the dice, and that's supposed to make a difference. What sort of difference, I can't tell you." He shrugs. “It could make no difference at all.”
"...Well then," he says, after a moment of silence, "I’ve been tinkering with this all day, shall we see what it does? I admit I'm quite curious myself."

You look at the dice he holds out to you - small, four-sided things. So, will you roll one of the dice and pull a lever to see what this strange machine does? Or will you wait for someone else to try first so you know what it does?
What could Birdy be up to this time? =o Roll a four-sided die and pick a lever to pull to find out!
(And, optionally, put in the name of an OC of yours. Or don't! It's up to you~)
