Lost and Found [Mingle]

Date: 23-30.3.19
Characters: Open


It starts slowly, one by one: Items are being returned to people. Specifically, they are delivered to their mailboxes.

The items are very varied, and either pushed through the letter slot in the door or, if they're too big, just left on the doorstep: A wallet that was stolen last year, a coin that was dropped into the sea last week, or a toy that was left on a bus, a time capsule buried in the ground, an unwanted present purposefully forgotten at the train station. The only thing that they have in common that they are never perishables. It's all non-food items.

All items that are being returned must have vanished within the Mossgate Echo Boundary, but they can have vanished long before the person whom they are returned to gained their first echo/got access to the network.

They appear throughout the week, and then abruptly stop the evening before Mother's Day.

Box, no. Things, yes.

At least it's not extending to food so far, though.


[It's a very minimum standard, because otherwise their homes would really look like reverse garbage cans, and... they could probably do without that.]

I got a bunch of things in a box. I had no idea I'd misplaced this many things since I got here.

It is surprising, in some cases. Though, most of these things are easily replaced. That reduces the shock value for those who haven't been here long.

[Or, uh... had to bury a loved one here. Because that's a thing.]

Yeah, I think all I've gotten back was stuff I had in my suitcases when I got here. I haven't been here long enough to lose anything else.

What if we deliberately left something somewhere? Would that still count?

[Something to test - but preferably with unimportant objects! Walter does not want to risk losing his laptop, or any of the components of the setup allowing him to see now.]

It could be worth trying. I have some pens and paperclips I could sacrifice for the cause.

That would be the ideal amount of risk.

And while it may not make a difference where something is left as long as it's not at home, perhaps there might be a ratio between distance displaced and time until return delivery?


[At least for new things lost... or 'lost' in this case.]
lovedramamoron: (in thought)

Time Skip to getting the note?

That's an interesting point. I'll try marking them and leaving them at varying distances.

Yup! Can be here or move to inbox; your call.

Keep the marking subtle, and it should be fine.

[Considering Jimmy's most recent new ability, it'd probably still come across like a beacon to the teen.]
lovedramamoron: (Don't worry)

better keep it here

[personal profile] lovedramamoron 2019-04-12 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Subtle I think I can do.

[It was about time this new ability did something useful. ]
