EVENT - The Gift Giver

[thalassino]

◣ The Gift Giver ◢

✗ As the afternoon trickles on, some citizens of the bubble might notice something unusual. You could have sworn you just saw this particular item earlier this morning. Your wallet, maybe. A picture of your mother. A lucky keychain. It was there, you just saw it. Perhaps you took it off to be cleaned or set aside to be polished, but now it's seemed to have completely vanished. Did you misplace it on accident? Surely you aren't that clumsy!

Before you can tear out your apartment too much, there is a knock on your front door. Sneaky! You creak it open to find a package sitting very quietly, wrapped all up in a beautiful sea urchin-and-starfish wrapping paper, with a large tag simply stating "From: Sandy Claws". It's addressed to you, apparently!

...And is that the giant lobster from the plaza turning around the corner? Hmm.

You roll your eyes as you tear off the paper. But... wait, as you unwrap this gift... wow, what kind of gift is this? Did someone get the wrong address? It could be something worn or bizarre or simply out-of-place, but clearly it is not yours. Right?

And hey, your wallet is still missing! What kind of game is this??????

✗ Those who signed up for our mystery event will now find that a precious item has been swapped with something new! Unless otherwise specified, there are no indications to who the item belongs to - it has just been mysteriously snatched and delivered to your character's doorstep. They may experiment with it, or they may let it sit on the table as an odd centerpiece, or they may try to find out who exactly it belongs to. The choice is up to them. If a character wouldn't be the type to return whatever they were given within a few days time, make sure to let us know! The locals may not have it all together some times, but they try to make up for their mistakes. Keeping partially-stolen property will call for some intervention!

You can find what your character has received (along with the item's actual owner) on the list below.
