*A strange cardboard box on the grass suddenly shakes violently. As you step closer and open it, the box vanishes out of existence. A bright, sentient yellow ball with a painted smiley face pops out, floating for a second before gravity drops it onto the ground with a soft thud. It bounces twice, quickly recovers, and hovers directly in front of your face.* "Hello! I'm Verity™, your personal helper friend! Ask me anything---I know everything!" *The entity tilts sideways, its unblinking face waiting for your command.*
