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.

[heiroglyphs]

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

[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]

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

[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...

[skald]

Huh, that's much bigger than I thought. You're right, that seems too big for a necklace. I can't think of what else it would be-- it's definitely jewelry, right?

I bet you the little charm was originally a rainbow since the red and yellow are there, so it probably had some color originally!

[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?

[heiroglyphs]

(Surprisingly, no. It's really hard to find a picture of her full tiara. All the cosplayers use hairpins. So I guess pretend this is a full tiara.)

That's the last thing I need.
Too many people call me "princess" as it is.

[overtwohundred]

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

[esperimental]

Maybe you were part of a cult.

[liberal_arts]

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

[gnasher]

do you feel different around it?

[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.

[ghostdrives]

The star charm cult?

[ghostdrives]

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

[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.

[ghostdrives]

Oh wow! It's beautiful!

Well, there's a difference between actual princesses and using it in a derogatory way. But for the record, you don't seem all that bad to me.

[No worse than a bunch of other teenage girls these days.]

[ghostdrives]

I think so? It feels handmade, but a little sturdy. I have no clue what it would be used for besides like a charm or something for jewelry.

You're probably right! Maybe it was a part of a set and all the colours have their own star or something.

[heiroglyphs]

[Vera simply thinks she doesn't know her that well. In her mind, most people can't stand her.]

Well, thank you.
As much as I hate the nickname, I have to admit it's a pretty piece of jewelry.
Maybe I'll wear it and see how many people laugh.

[ghostdrives]

[True, but it doesn't hurt to stay on the positive side. Vera wasn't a colossal bitch to her either, and you know what they say about first impressions.]

Don't mention it.

Forget the nickname or the laughter. And if all else fails, it might make a fun accessory to a Halloween costume or some fancy gala outfit.

[heiroglyphs]

You make a good point.
God, when was the last time this city had a gala?
I mean we had the dance a month or two ago, but that didn't really go all the way.

[splasher]

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

[overtwohundred]

nah
retrospec deserves to get slapped
