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.

No. Just things I gave away or threw out.

She's already been dug up once. If it happened again....

[Walter sighs.]

I'd better not have jinxed it for you.

Is it only things you gave away during your time here in Mossgate, too?

I never gave away any of her things when she was alive, so yeah, it's all from Mossgate. From a less than a year ago, but before this numbered crap started up.

[...]

You may get some calls wondering where those things went, soon.

[Which will increase the Unfortunateness Factor of this whole thing even more.]

Assuming people don't just conclude they've misplaced them to begin with.

They might. Though probably not the things I threw out, and the stuff I donated nobody's going to call me about it. I don't remember where most of these might've come from, at this point.

[Well, that was one way things couldn't necessarily get worse.]

Would- would putting them away somewhere again help?

[It feels wrong, how he's asking, but he can't not ask, not try and offer something.]

I was going to re-donate them.

[Or just throw them out, though for some of the items that feels wrong, too.]

But now I'm second-guessing myself. Do you think they'd wind up back on my doorstep again?

Jimmy's going to be testing that, actually.

[Judging from how that conversation's going.]

It probably wouldn't end well if you tested it with what you've been given, though.

[It'd be digging the knife in further, wouldn't it?]

Probably not. I'll wait and see what Jimmy comes up with. He's more research-y than me, anyway.

[Not like that's hard. Sam is not the best at being methodical. That's boring.]
