The ropes tightly binding the metal crates together managed to keep the pyramid formation intact even as it impacted the ground. Each crate was about five feet by five feet and the entire pyramid stood at least two stories high. Some of them are empty, some aren't meant to be opened, but there are a few that contain something special.

If you can cut away the ropes and pry open the lids, you might find a real treasure! Or you might regret giving in to your curiosity. 

Don't forget to share, boys and girls.

[ And no way is Jesse going without backup, aka Galen. He's wary as hell, but if these things have food, he's taking the chance. Funny how they were just talking about this -- they're running out.

Galen looks to Jesse, looks to the box. ]

Ready?

[rigging]

[ Jesse shifts, glancing back at Galen with a little grin. And because he knows it invites trouble and he's feeling particularly like a brat today: ] Yeah, what's the worst thing that could happen?

[ And he'll push the box open. Inside, there are cans, and... holy shit, is that spray paint? Paintbrushes? hOLY SHIT ]

[gleans]

[ He's about to retort with something, but... holy shit. ] Dude! You hit the jackpot, man. Dig that out.

[rigging]

[ Yep, he's already going for it. Yay supplies! Only, when he pulls one of the cans out, there's this big, fat spider just chilling on the side of it, and maybe it hisses a little. To which Jesse promptly shrieks like a little girl and nearly falls off the pyramid.

God dammit. ]

[gleans]

Shhh--eeeit! [ Galen grabs for Jesse and leans back from the box a little, then tentatively looks back in. ] Fuck. Okay, I got this, hang on.

[ He carefully reaches for one of the paintbrushes - oh good, no spiders - and pulls it out, then uses the end to poke at the sides of the can and -- there it is. Sorry, spider, to the bottom of the box with you. He may not be screeching like Jesse, but he's grimacing the entire time. Gingerly, he pulls the can out of the box and hands it to Jesse. ] One down.

[rigging]

[ Nope, you couldn't pay Jesse to stick his hand back in that box, he's done. He's just about ready to climb back down and go home, he didn't sign up for spiders. The look on his face is probably enough for Galen to figure out where his mind is as he stares at the box. Uuughhhh. ]

[gleans]

It's okay, bee, I'll just pass them to you. This paintbrush looks like a pretty good spider impaler. [ He grins a little and taps it on the side of the box, then turns and gets to work getting some of the other supplies free. Look, he'll even start singing, because he's a dork. ] The ugly hairy spider tried to fuck with Jesse's paint --

[rigging]

[ Jesse shudders again, making a face, but then Galen starts singing and there's no way Jesse can't laugh at that. He relaxes a little too, and watches Galen get at the supplies. He keeps itching at the back of his neck and at everything, though - fuckin'... phantom spiders, he feels them even if they're not there. ]

My hero.

[gleans]

Out came the brush and -- stabbed it in the face -- [ No, he's just gonna snicker now, then focus on stabbing this fucker. HA. Then he quickly grabs two more cans and a couple brushes. Here you go. ] Christ, he better not have any friends.

[rigging]

[ And maybe Jesse grins a little bit, grabbing for the supplies and giving one last shudder. Gross. ]

Yeah, no, I ain't exactly ready for another round. Y'know there's been two of these boxes with this shit? Not the art, the webbed fuckers.
