[ "Freddie" doesn't sound his usual exuberant self today. Maybe because it's been weeks and no kick, no familiar face, no nothing. There's only so long stubborn belief can last, especially with the horror tales of Limbo lurking around your mind. It would almost be better if Mal made an appearance, then at least he'd know. ]

I have a little query I figure you lot could help me with. [ Conversationally. Like all of this doesn't actually matter. ] I know we all end up here as naked as the day we were born, I think I've got that it covered. But what about the things that should have been on us at the time. [ Unseen by the camera, Eames rubs his forefinger against his thumb as though chasing the ghost of his totem. ] I've seen the market, I've heard tell of the terrifying shopping centre, but nobody's been able to tell me where all of that stuff comes from in the first place.

So I'm wondering if there's any chance our personal belongings appear. Could whatever belongs to us end up somewhere like that. Is it worth my time trying to find out personally?

It... It does happen sometimes. I mean, our stuff sort of randomly appearing. But we don't have any control over it, so there's really no telling when or where stuff'll show up.

[plagiary]

So something that belongs to me could just appear out of the sky and I wouldn't know? Meaning it could get picked up by any Tom, Dick or Harry.

[nerdylilspidey]

Something like that. Usually they've got our names on them somewhere, though.

[plagiary]

Ah.

[ He's going by a fake name. Lovely. ] And what kind Samaritan brings the objects to us? Why would they even appear?

[nerdylilspidey]

I... Honestly, I couldn't tell you why they appear. But so far it seems like people return them to their owners in hopes that the same could be done for them.

Though I think some people might've put price tags on them or something.

[plagiary]

I mean in general, from outside. Because I've heard that it ends up being something you could've had years ago.

[nerdylilspidey]

Oh. Well, no one knows that either.

[plagiary]

I'm not really a fan of flying blind.

[nerdylilspidey]

I doubt many of us really are. But we don't have a whole lot of choice.

Our belongings do arrive here, on a schedule I have found. There will be nothing for a month, and the next month, many will receive items all at once.

[voice]

[plagiary]

Is there a way to request an item?

[ Not that getting his totem back would do him any good. It's been tampered with. He wouldn't be able to use it. ]

[voice]

[rohirrims]

Np. Much comes unlooked for, unbidden. But some things we wish would come to us do. I do not know if those things come because we wish it, or if they do regardless.

[voice]

[plagiary]

[ He's a bit alarmed with the Shakespearean talk but as far as things go, this isn't the weirdest. ]

Does this wish have to be public?

[voice]

[rohirrims]

Indeed not.

[voice]

[plagiary]

Who do people ask?

[voice]

[rohirrims]

There is no one known. I was speaking of wishing to oneself.

[voice]

[plagiary]

I'm not too keen on prayer.

Sometimes they show. The real kick is that you never find 'em. Someone else will.

Just hope it's not someone you've pissed off. [ Believe him, he's been there. ]

voice; you saw nothing

[plagiary]

I'm not entirely sure it would be of much use to me once someone else has got their hands on it.

voice; i saw everything. I KNOW I'M DREAMING NOW.

[hellionated]

Kinda precious about your things, aren't you? What's the matter, afraid someone's gonna break it?

voice; the only way out is to shoot yourself

[plagiary]

It's not something breakable, and it's of very little importance. [ Lies. ] I'd just rather have kept it.

voice; what if i just wait for a train?

[hellionated]

So if someone else finds it and gives it back, problem solved.

[ He kind of hopes he finds it now, he will troll you forever. ]

voice; fuck you he is not cobb.

[plagiary]

Not exactly.

[ Huff. No. ] Is there a place something personal is more likely to show up?

voice; he could be cobb.

[hellionated]

[ He's going to find out what it is. ]

Sure. The last place you'd expect it to.

One time a psycho killer found my costume. It wasn't pretty. They show up wherever, but they always have a nametag attached.

voice; he would rather eat glass

[plagiary]

Your costume?

[ Are you a go-go dancer? ] Now I'm forced to ask if by not being pretty you mean said psycho killer tried it on.
