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.

That I once liked, yes.

[That's probably the best way for him to put it. He's not certain how he feels about the blanket now.]

[channingchanningchanning]

[That doesn't sound good at all.]

And who returned all those things to you?

[iamnotgod]

An unknown - and how they know these things belong to us is just as unknown.

[But it definitely is the things that were lost, not copies.]

[channingchanningchanning]

....

I'll sniff them out!

[HE WILL BE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE AND FIND THEM!]

[iamnotgod]

[No kidding, if Chad actually does find them - or better yet, whoever's leaving them - Walter will be suitably impressed.]

If you don't get yourself or your family in trouble in the process, you're welcome to try.

[channingchanningchanning]

I won't get in trouble.

[RUDE. WHY WOULD WALTER IMPLY THAT.]

[iamnotgod]

... Right.

[Chad is sounding like Every Child Walter's ever been around, ever.]

[channingchanningchanning]

[THIS IS SO RUDE!!!! MISPLACED DISTRUST IN HIS ABILITIES!

He will so show Walter.]
