The Lament Configuration or Lemarchand's box, is a tool used for creating passages to Hell.

Originally created by a toy maker named Philip Lemarchand, the puzzle box is a masterfully created clockwork creation that plays a haunting melody as someone attempts to open it. Pieces come seamlessly out of it's design and rotate to unlock passages. If one where to attempt to open it in Hell the cube shifts in design to a octahedron and from there reopening it becomes nearly impossible.

Señor Diablo gave these out to the members of the Hell Council and for a time Johnny C was practically stalked by them and distributed them en mass across Pre-Unification Twisted. Since then they've become a rarity but can still be found from time to time for those who know where to look.

When first touched these puzzle boxes will send out a strange bit of electricity that will soothe the body of those who've touched it. All muscles will feel relaxed and rejuvenated and an addictive feeling of calm will wash over them. This will literally only happen the very first time the box comes in contact with a person's skin. Tracing one's fingers along the etchings of it's surface will rekindle the feeling, but only slightly, encouraging one to play with and open this horrible toy. Any attempt to open the box will cause it to release more of this pleasure with each step making it nearly impossible to put down. Eventually that haunting tune will begin to play from it's unseen clockwork. At this point abandoning it is futile as the box will open itself and nothing in Heaven or on Earth can stop the process. The doorway has already begun to open...
