Happy Mother's Day! [Mingle]
Date: 31st of March
Characters: OPEN
It is Mother's Day, the temperatures are summery (the forecast promises a high of 19 degree), the sun is shining almost relentlessly, birds are singing, a mild sea breeze blows...
And all across the echo boundary, people are waking up on this beautiful Sunday. Probably an hour later than normal, unless they have to go to work, since daylight savings happened. Ew. They open their eyes, and it smells of flowers and tea and baked beans...
And something sits over their lap. Or butt, or hip, if they aren't back sleepers.
This something turns out to be a tray on which sit:
Don't sit up too quickly in shock, the tea is really quite hot.
Now, whom does this happen to?
Well. Literally everyone who is more or less human. And yes, that includes three day old babies, eighty year old men, teenage boys, people in hospitals... everyone, really. And among the scents of flowers, food and beauty products, those with the right abilities will be able to scent someone familiar.

This something turns out to be a tray on which sit:
- a hot cup of tea, a bowl of baked beans, a single slice of white toast and one burnt fried egg
- an empty card
- some cheap chocolate
- a bouquet of flowers complete with a balloon reading Happy Mother's Day
- either one of those three gift sets OR a shitty parfume.
Don't sit up too quickly in shock, the tea is really quite hot.

Considering this appears to have happened to everyone who'd been asleep within the Boundary, it'd be more worrying if it were otherwise.

[Jimmy was still stuck on that part. ]
Re: [Audio]
[Though there's also enough ammunition to deduce someone was trying to emulate 'Mother'-y vibes deliberately.
Walter does not want to think these thoughts, but he's thinking them anyway.]
And beauty products, for some reason.
[Still, in terms of bizarre decisions that everyone has to live with... it's better than Brexit, and whatever the governmental mess is the Americans have to deal with?]
Re: [Audio]
[Jimmy had tried, but he couldn't even take a guess at the reasoning behind this one.]
Re: [Audio]
[Though, this line of thinking begs another thought:]
This won't repeat itself on Father's Day, will it?
[That date falls uncomfortably close to the anniversary of the aurora...]
Re: [Audio]
When is Father's Day here?
Re: [Audio]
[You can draw the dots, Jimmy.]
