Aria Rylan shared a photo. 06/25 near Apprassage

I guess I should officially consider myself honored by receiving creepy packages for items I never ordered online. Yay. Has anyone seen anything like it before? Or the symbol in the middle? I get the feeling it might be important.

((As a note, her wayfinder is currently colourless. So all the blue parts are currently grey.))

Ooh, why is it creepy? Besides coming from Retrospec, I mean. It's really pretty!

[ghostdrives]

That's the only thing that makes it creepy really. Reminds me of the stalker photos.

Thanks. It's interesting. Can't say that I've seen anything like it before.

[skald]

I guess getting a necklace (?) in the mail from a stalker is pretty alarming when you phrase it like that.

What do you think: was it originally grey, blue, or green?

[ghostdrives]

It's bigger than a necklace actually. It's got a cord and tied to a smaller charm, but the star's about as big as my hand. Way too big to be a pendant.

I'd probably jinx it if I picked a color. Say green or blue, and it'll probably stay grey in the end. I kind of wish it was blue though...

[heiroglyphs]

Can't say I've seen that before, but at least it looks pretty?
Also welcome to the "creepy jewelry" club.

[ghostdrives]

Thanks. I guess that's something of a consolation. What did you get from them?

[heiroglyphs]

A tiara.
I've never owned one in my life.
But apparently I did.

[ghostdrives]

Wooooaaaa seriously?

Maybe you were like a princess in a past life. That's kind of cool!

Do you have any pics of it?

[overtwohundred]

looks like someone wanted to send you a gold star for trying but screwed it up
i guess an attempt was made

[ghostdrives]

[Fuck it, Nisha.

She hates that that actually made her laugh. She hates you so much.]

If anyone deserves a you tried star, it's Retrospec.

[overtwohundred]

nah
retrospec deserves to get slapped

[ghostdrives]

Can't argue with that! You've been doing okay though?

[esperimental]

Maybe you were part of a cult.

[ghostdrives]

The star charm cult?

[esperimental]

Why not? Turned upside-down aren't stars already regarded as evil?

[ghostdrives]

Not always. Pentagrams are also used just as religious symbols, and not always evil.

At least according to Wiki. I don't think it's evil.

Or that I was part of a cult.

...I hope not.

It's beautiful, whatever it is! A simple geometric design, but the form is so sound, it draws the eye!

[ghostdrives]

Thanks? I mean, I didn't make it but it feels handmade and I've never seen anything like it before.

I just wish I knew why I was sent something like this.

[liberal_arts]

You may be able to have it examined by a local atelier, but I imagine that will yield no real information. These "gifts" tend to have an otherwordly quality to them, one we still don't understand.

[ghostdrives]

Maybe. You're probably right that they wouldn't know anything about it either. Maybe if they were on the network too, but I doubt it even then.

It stinks. A least it would be nice to get a note or know why it's so important to be sent to me.

[gnasher]

do you feel different around it?

[ghostdrives]

What do you mean? Like if I feel more lucky around it?

[gnasher]

maybe. just different in general. one of my teammates had a similar experience.

[splasher]

it... looks like a heart? it's very pretty regardless.

[ghostdrives]

Yeah, a heart with spokes at the bottom. I'm not big into symbolism or anything like that but... it's weird.
