The Barkeeper smiles. “A plot device,” he says. You ask him what that means. “Oh, go look it up,” he snaps. “Basically, the Ark of MacGuffin is an ancient artifact shaped like a simple wooden box that inexplicably contains itself inside. If you were to open the box, you would see another, identical box open on the inside. If you were to open that box, you would see the same thing, and so on and so forth.”
“Is there anything else that’s special about it?” you ask.
“Not sure,” the Barkeeper admits. “It’s not like the mysterious figure lets us know much of anything about his most prized possession.”
