POST ✦ ( MORE THAN THE GIFT. )

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora shared a photo. March 10 near Apprassage

I received this from Retrospec this morning in the mail. I think there's been a mistake in addresses or something since I don't think I've ever owned this before. Is somebody looking for this necklace? It's lovely and all but there's something about this that makes me feel a little eerie.

Augustine Sauveterre That's a beautiful necklace. Although it's not as the same as the stone I recently found.
Augustine Sauveterre Then again...

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora Do you think they're made of similar gemstones?
Ainsley Feray Menodora Or they're related to each other somehow? It's interesting that everyone has been getting or finding such interesting items around the city.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Maybe, but I doubt about them being similar.
Augustine Sauveterre Besides, the stone I found has a strange symbol in the middle.
Augustine Sauveterre It almost the shape of a DNA.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora A DNA strand? Are you sure?
Ainsley Feray Menodora I'm not doubting you but that's quite a symbol for a stone to create while its being created itself.
Ainsley Feray Menodora If any of that made sense, of course.

They sent me a gift the other day that I did not remember, not until recently. There is a possibility that it belongs to you.

Or that they will make you believe it does.

[caelestialis]

That's very ominous.

What would they gain from making us believe we really owned these items? This is feeling like a very elaborate hazing game with this twist of events. [ she didn't even like necklaces. they got caught in her hair too easily. ]

[true_noir]

I know. I'm becoming a regular prophetess of doom, like Cassandra. I should really try not to be quite this disturbing though. It helps nobody's mood, least of all my own.

To be clearer, I received a fork in the mail from them. Several days later, I had a vision where I remembered receiving the fork before, from someone I do not remember knowing, but who seemed very important at the time. It wasn't really that terrible.

[Bullshit. That blonde in the vision had pulled a gun on her. The vision was anything but pleasant. But she didn't want to ruin someone's day by getting too morose.]

I do not know. It is possible they are just showing us, or possible they're trying to make us believe. It could be either, and none of it is very clear. It certainly seems like a great deal of effort for something so trivial as a pretty bauble or a fondue fork.

Ritsu Kageyama It looks valuable? Maybe you shouldn't be offering it just like this, someone may lie about ownership.

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora Ah! That's a good point!
Ainsley Feray Menodora Maybe I should ask for proof that the person claiming it really does own it.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Answer about something only we both know. A photo of them wearing it.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Do you think that'll be enough?

[esperimental]

Ritsu Kageyama That sounds practical enough. But out of curiosity, why the weird feelings? Other than its delivery out of nowhere.

[accordance]

It looks like the full moon.

[caelestialis]

It does, doesn't it? It's what caught my attention when I first opened the package.

It seems so delicate too. I'm rather worried I might end up breaking it if I don't return it to its rightful owner soon.

[accordance]

It could be yours, as the others have said.

If it does not turn out to be, however - I would like to get a replica for you. I think it fits you.

Kasen Kaneda That is absolutely stunning!
Kasen Kaneda The way it catches the light!

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora I'm no metalsmith but I can tell the craftsmanship for this is top notch.
Ainsley Feray Menodora Which makes looking for the owner of this even more important.
Ainsley Feray Menodora They must miss it a lot right now since it seems to have a lot of sentimental value to it.

[ not that, ah, she would know. or anything. ]

[liberal_arts]

Kasen Kaneda Well if it was made locally, I may be able to help in that regard. I know most of the local artisans.

[thirtybits]

Maybe it's a sort of prize, congratulations you're the 100th user or something?

[caelestialis]

I would love to see what they gave for the very first user than.

Did you get anything too? seems to be running trend from what I'm starting to gather.

[thirtybits]

The real question is what the millionth user would get, five star getaway to Puerto Vallarta?

No I've only had this a few days and haven't got anything yet, but you're right it seems like a lot of people are getting packages. But most seem more "personalised"? It's a nice necklace and all but.

Frisk E. Business lots of people are getting stuff from retrospec
Frisk E. Business i think
Frisk E. Business dunno how theyre getting everyones address though
Frisk E. Business thats supposed to be private right??

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora I mean.
Ainsley Feray Menodora They managed to spell my full name perfectly.
Ainsley Feray Menodora And had all our names in the first place.
Ainsley Feray Menodora I wouldn't be too surprised if, somehow, they managed to track down our addresses along the way.

[trueend]

Frisk E. Business doesnt that mean theyre stalking us
Frisk E. Business thought you could go to jail for stalking

Koutarou Takao That is very pretty.
Koutarou Takao Perhaps they simply felt like sending it to you?

[caelestialis]

Ainsley Feray Menodora It is. I've never seen anything this pretty before.
Ainsley Feray Menodora I wish I could believe the idea of them doing this due to generosity or kindness but.
Ainsley Feray Menodora With what's been going on lately, I can't help but pause.

[wordcarvings]

Koutarou Takao Ah
Koutarou Takao Yes, I suppose so. But it doesn't have to be anything bad, does it?
