[What is this, you may ask? This, my friends, is a very special post. There is something new on the Plane which no one has brought to it. It appeared and now exists of its own will. It is a black hole!
Except, well, not really.
It is an empty hole in space, roughly the size of a soup bowl. Like a black hole, light does not fair well around it. Unlike a black hole, a gust of cold wind is blowing up from the hole.
The Twins are already aware, judging by the bright and obnoxious sign next to it. The sign reads, "Please do not drop things or each other into the hole. Thank you!" In smaller writing, it also says, "We will let you know when we figure out what it is."
As an added bonus, anyone who walks around the hole may run into an invisible something. It might sound - and feel - like you ran into an invisible block of metal, except there appears to be nothing there. Strange!]
((As for more notes! If your character uses the power of science to measure the distortion, it will have the properties of a black hole, despite the obvious oddities. If they drop an object down, it won't come back. If they are smart enough to decide that sticking their hand in will be a good idea, then aside from feeling really, really, really cold, nothing bad will happen. And the mystery metal block can't be detected at all, except by touch - it's roughly ten feet tall and three feet wide and it is a cuboid
(the cuboid that happens to also be a rectangle) (cuboids are not rectangles! A rectangle is a quadrilateral is a polygon is, by definition, two-dimensional. You can't even argue that it's composed of rectangles because it is composed of rectangles AND squares.) (maybe it's a THREE DIMENSIONAL RECTANGLE. WHAT NOW?!) (THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS. BY DEFINITION, RECTANGLES ARE TWO-DIMENSIONAL. You could, though, try embedding it, as they do with a Möbius strip here but why do that when you can just have a cuboid?) (THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS, YOU MEAN. oh burn. And maybe I don't like cuboids. Perhaps cuboids are against my moral code. Perhaps I am trying to take back shapes once and for all. Three dimensional triangles! Three dimensional circles! Three dimensional weirdly shaped loopy things!) (OH DIE IN A FIRE, YOU HARLOT!!! I will not tolerate these hippie shenanigans in my moderator post!! Go partake of recreational drugs in a hippie commune and leave mathematics alone!! I WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO DESTROY THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS!!) (Hey you two, just agree I have nice, lovely shapes) (*touches Kisha's shapes* I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY CRUSADE OF JUSTICE. But for now I suppose I will just touch Kisha's shapes inappropriately.)(How dare you touch her shapes? She was mine first!!) (I BELIEVE THIS SUMS UP MY FEELINGS FOR KISHA'S SHAPES. YOU CANNOT COMPETE WITH THOSE FEELINGS.) (Doesn't matter! I outrank you, so her shapes are mine. Even if your love is very impressive.) (Too late! I have already partook of her shapes. ;).) (You cannot partake of what I have already partaken.) (Except I have! And shall again. Because I say so.)
Make of this what you will! Also, feel free to use this post for mingling.))

It would appear to be a black hole, child, though it displays some properties which are perplexing.
