hey, it's alison. long time reader, first time poster, etc.
everyone else gets pointy teeth and anime hair, and all i get is this rudimentary bow and arrow set. in the back seat of my car. i feel cheated and uneasy.
things of note:
the construction's solid if old-fashioned. ancient almost. looks like it's been through a lot of hunting or combat. well-cared for. it's been restringed recently. funny: the bowstring's stronger than any modern-day bow i've ever held. tbf, last time i tried to shoot a bow and arrow was in summer camp, and that was a disaster. i couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...
the metal pieces are strong too.
same metal pieces have been shaped for the arrow heads. dried blood still on one of those. spooky. weird thing about the design. the metal's been shaped and painted(?) in a way to resemble animal bone. does that make sense? as if it was deliberate. they don't match with the construction of the thing, but i don't know why.
just a feeling.
has anyone ever seen these symbols? did anyone else get some ancient weapon, or did i luck out?

wow.
yeah, that absolutely puts my bow to shame. maybe it'll surprise me by puncturing time and space.
i'm hoping it doesn't, though.

and right, right. you've got a point. when you put it that way, it makes me sound silly. i'll try it out.

my best friend got a bow and some arrows, too. and my sister got a dagger that does the same glowy shit my sword does. must be a new trend they're starting

puncturing time and space might not be a bad idea if this is how things are gonna go.
worst that can happen is you send an arrow sailing and it misses its target. i'm more interested how they got in your car in the first place...

i think puncturing time and space may do more harm than good.
with how crazy everything's been though, who knows? you may be on to something.

and i've been trying not to think too hard on how they got it there.
either they have keys to my car, or...honestly, i don't know. it's creeping me out to think about.

given some of the powers or whatever people are receiving? we seem to be doing okay so far. the world hasn't gone too out of whack just yet

heh. sorry. it was mostly for my own curiosity more than anything since most of my packages have just been delivered to the bar with my name on it. you're not the first to find things in random locations, but none of us have really figured out how they're going through the mail in the first place

i'd be curious to figure out how they're managing it. but...honestly, with what they've pulled off so far, it seems like something like this would be child's play.

really spooky, though.
