Well, Paladin and Reed are out of the hourglass! They're both fine. It's a good thing I've taken to carrying that bell around with me, though.

I know I've seen clothing like that before.

I haven't seen any other giant hourglasses around, but it looks like a couple of other people have wound up in pretty strange kinds of trouble today. I bet it's the Sphere, so I don't know if it can be avoided, but be careful for the next few days.
