Is this count?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre shared a photo. 3/6 near Recolle Square

I saw some posts regarding some strange packages from Retrospec, but I don't know if this counts as one. I only found this at the park bench when I done my daily strolling. To be honest, the colors on this stone are very unnatural.

Ryoji Mochizuki oh!
Ryoji Mochizuki you got a Retrospec package delivered to you at the park?
Ryoji Mochizuki did you get the chance to see who left it?
Ryoji Mochizuki ah, but the stone is very pretty! it looks like a marble
Ryoji Mochizuki i used to play checkers with them when i was younger

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Not exactly.
Augustine Sauveterre I just literally found it lying around on the park bench. It wasn't even packed in a box or an envelope.
Augustine Sauveterre And as for the owner, I asked around the parkgoers, yet they have no clue about the stone.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki oh, sorry, i thought you meant it was from Retrospec!
Ryoji Mochizuki it might just be a marble dropped by a child
Ryoji Mochizuki if left on the bench, they'll likely be back for it later
Ryoji Mochizuki something as pretty as that one, i know i'd be sad to lose it

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre You may have a good point about a child losing a marble. But...

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki but?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I tried to leave it alone, yet I have this nagging feeling about the stone, like it feels very important to me.
Augustine Sauveterre I don't know why, but maybe keeping the stone might give me some answers.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki lol i feel the same sometimes, when i see something i really want from the store
Ryoji Mochizuki like i *have* to have it!
Ryoji Mochizuki but i think it'll be fine for you to hold onto it for now
Ryoji Mochizuki if someone comes looking for it later, they'll know to go to you

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I hope so.
Augustine Sauveterre I hate to steal someone's belongings like this.
Augustine Sauveterre By the way, do you also got anything from Retrospec?

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki as long as you're transparent, it's fine; it's for safekeeping~
Ryoji Mochizuki but no! i haven't gotten anything from Retrospec!
Ryoji Mochizuki i've heard others have though!
Ryoji Mochizuki i'm a bit jealous
Ryoji Mochizuki did you get anything?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Other than this strange stone, no.
Augustine Sauveterre But this is just so sudden for Retrospec to send anything.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki right?
Ryoji Mochizuki i've only heard of Retrospec packages these recent few days
Ryoji Mochizuki maybe it's a thank-you for beta testing the app?
Ryoji Mochizuki or an apology
Ryoji Mochizuki everyone sure went through a lot of trouble using it

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Yeah. Which makes me wonder if they might be also responsible about those beads we got from Founder's Day.

[However, he wasn't bothered about the beads at all.]

Augustine Sauveterre Also, I wonder why am I the only one who didn't get this through the package.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki oh, yes! someone pointed out to me that the symbol on the beads is the same as Retrospec
Ryoji Mochizuki i still have them in my room
Ryoji Mochizuki the color changing broke though ( ´△｀)
Ryoji Mochizuki is your mailbox too full?
Ryoji Mochizuki or maybe the marble is so small it could easily fall out and get lost

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre You've got a got about those beads.
Augustine Sauveterre However, I did overheard some residents that they once unable to remove or throw away the beads.
Augustine Sauveterre I don't know. All I know is that I only found it by the park bench and I was somehow drawn into it.
Augustine Sauveterre I think my only theory is that someone must have dropped it while they are trying to deliver this.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki i've had that experience too, but it also wore off
Ryoji Mochizuki so all's well that ends well!
Ryoji Mochizuki for both the beads and the stone

[megabond]

[Of course for Augustine, he isn't one of those residents to complain about the beads as he thought of them as just promotional merchandise for the parade.]

Augustine Sauveterre Well, I still might try to find the true reciever of this stone.
Augustine Sauveterre But if it is a delivery that is intended for me, then I'll try to search more about this stone's history if I can.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki yeah! i'll save the photo you shared and ask around too
Ryoji Mochizuki let me know what you find out?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Okay, I'll let you know right here if I find something.
Augustine Sauveterre Regardless, thank you for helping me out.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki mmhmm! i didn't do much yet, but i'm always glad to help!

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Again, thank you and I hope we may have some luck on these packages and this stone.

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Maybe you should sell it.
Jason Grace Or throw it in the trash.
Jason Grace Looks like a marble some kid might've dropped, dude.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I would, but I can't do that... Besides, you did say a young child dropped this.

[antagonize]

Jason Grace I did.
Jason Grace But if the kid hasn't come back crying for it already, they're probably long gone.
Jason Grace Just saying.
Jason Grace Go ahead and bond with a random marble, though. Whatever floats your boat.

[megabond]

[Right now, he is little offended at Jason's words. Yet, he remains calm as he continues to type in.]

Augustine Sauveterre Regardless, I can't throw it away.
Augustine Sauveterre Even if I try putting it in a lost and found, I had a strange feeling I've seen this before.
Augustine Sauveterre It's as if I'm drawn to the stone.

[antagonize]

Jason Grace See, I'm going to be an adult here and not make the obvious pun.
Jason Grace You sure you're not confusing it for something you saw as kid, though?
Jason Grace Repressed Freudian shit like that.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I'm not saying that this stone belonged to my childhood.
Augustine Sauveterre Besides, if I keep this for a while, it could help me unlock the mysteries of this app.

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Not saying it does, either.
'Jason Grace Again: Whatever floats your boat, dude.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora That's pretty!
Ainsley Feray Menodora Was that all you got? That stone?
Ainsley Feray Menodora Strange to give that of all things. Maybe it's semiprecious or the like.
Ainsley Feray Menodora That'll explain its colouring.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I think so.
Augustine Sauveterre While it is not a Retrospec package, I just found this out of coincidence.
Augustine Sauveterre Strangely, I'm still drawn to it not just because of it's unnatural colors or it's rarity.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora In some of the books I've read, it's believed some stones can be good luck charms for those who find them.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Is that how you feel? Lucky? That could be why you're drawn to it.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre That I don't know about it.
Augustine Sauveterre All I know is that when I touched it, I got a strange feeling that I seen his stone before.
Augustine Sauveterre But I can't tell what it is.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora That is strange.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Maybe we can take it to a jeweler or look it up online. See if anyone knows what type of stone it is.
Ainsley Feray Menodora That could be a step closer to figuring out why you're getting this sense of déjà vu.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Let's try it. I'll look it up online about this stone.
Augustine Sauveterre In the meantime, do you have any knowledge of a jeweler right here in the city?

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora Personally? No. Not really.
Ainsley Feray Menodora I think your best best is to check out Enprise.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Surely one will be there.

[megabond]

[He did live in Enprise before, but he didn't know about the jeweler since he didn't explore most of the district when he was young.]

Augustine Sauveterre Enprise, huh?
Augustine Sauveterre Okay, I'll check there when I have the chance.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora And when all else fails, you know who to turn to.
Ainsley Feray Menodora The internet.

[ because it's an amazing invention. she has no idea how she would have fared without it. ]

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Yeah, I'll check there as well.
Augustine Sauveterre Thanks for your help once more, Ainsley.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora You're welcome. You know I'll always be there for you.
Ainsley Feray Menodora So good luck on this, okay? I would love to hear about your findings.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Sure, I'll let you know as soon as I can.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora I believe in you so good luck! Again!

[agathism]

Akane Kurashiki It's a beautiful stone, but I may be on the fence on it being like the other mysterious gifts.
Akane Kurashiki Has it triggered anything for you?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Not yet. All I can say is that it feels very familiar, but I can't say what or why.
Augustine Sauveterre If I only had a hint to connect this, I might get some ideas.

so sorry for late reply, hellish health week resumed

[agathism]

Akane Kurashiki Where would you find a stone quite like this one though?
Akane Kurashiki Other than the park, that is.
Akane Kurashiki Do you have a interest in collecting stones?

That's okay!

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I doubt you can find this stone anywhere.
Augustine Sauveterre I only found this stone by chance, that's all.
