Origin[]
This artifact is the infamous scroll that Jack had made when he wrote On The Road. The manuscript was typed on what he called "the scroll", a continuous, one hundred and twenty-foot scroll of tracing paper sheets that he cut to size and taped together. The roll was typed single-spaced, without margins or paragraph breaks.
Effects[]
The moment they touch it a person will experience exactly what Jack had gone through on his trips back in the late 40's in one big rush. If one were to hold it for too long, they would slip into a coma while still experiencing the entire trip, plus the process he took to wrote it, taking roughly three weeks.
Collection[]
When Mr. Kipling and Artie went to the museum to snag the scroll that was the manuscript for On the Road, they also snagged Mr. Kerouac's typewriter after calling up Lenna and finding out what it could do. Both the Scroll and the typewriter are together in the Warehouse.
