[The video opens on Princess Thug who is happily gnawing on a reindire antler, a new purple collar around her neck with a few blingy rhinestones on it. She's been bathed and groomed so she looks like a delightful floof of a wolf right now and not the fierce, murdering Judge she should be. Jacob would be furious.]

So I opened a bunch of the presents or whatever they were, outside in the crashed ship and PT got some good stuff.

Did uh.. Did anyone find something that seemed really meant for them? Maybe something a little fucked up?

[ Patch finds it easiest to just reply without switching the input, so although her video feed is turned on, it just shows her feet walking along a random corridor. ]

Definitely meant for me, but not fucked up. I had to open five or six to find it. After that everything I opened was empty. Same for you?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah I opened a bunch of random crap like socks and toys and nerf guns and then I got something that's definitely meant for me. Not to mention a collar that fits a wolf, which is pretty specific you know?

And yeah they were all empty afterwards. I guess cuz we got the thing that was for us maybe? Though how the fuck does it know?

[eudorapatch]

[ The collar on its own she’d be willing to call a coincidence. There might not be many dogs here with them in the city, but who knows where most of the gifts originated? From what’s not being said she assumes that he also got something very personal and disturbing, though. Which is bringing up the same questions she had asked herself when she got her photo album, and had to deliver a damn head. ]

Did you get a delivery a while ago, too? Someone else here got something meant for you? Something personal?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah, someone else's thing showed up in my room one day. But it wasn't really the same as this. I had Annie's glass scuplture, Garrus had my shirt from Hadriel.

That I didn't want back by the way.

[ He has it in the back of his closet in case it gets cold enough for him to wear seven hundred layers, but otherwise he's not touching that thing.]

Did that happen to everyone?

voice;

[circumspector]

Not exactly for me, I guess, but I found some things from my home I didn't expect.

I mean they were all guns, the only thing worth noting on Pandora is the guns, but... It was weird to see them at all.

[nothinglikefather]

[ Well... that's a look isn't it? Then again people are weird about pets.]

I found something that was mine. Not a bloody clue how it turned up here or why it needed a big green bow on it.

Did we all get something? Like... Christmas?

[theweakhavepurpose]

[Talk shit about Princess Thug to his face, he dares you.]

I guess so. All wrapped up like it was waiting for us. But the first few things I opened were random. Like socks and toys. And then something that was definitely meant for me.

[nothinglikefather]

[ She's not a corgi in a handbag. Jacob has no problems.]

I mean socks are always worth having. Its weird though. Does this place... do things like that? Know about us?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Wait you got guns? What the fuck? I want my gun back.

[theweakhavepurpose]

It must. Somehow.

A few months ago someone found one of my shirts from another place I'd been.

Either it knows or it's slowly porting in shit thats attached to us.

[nothinglikefather]

I'm not keen on either of those options. I don't like places that mess with us for shits and giggles. Or places that accidentally keep pulling stuff in because we're here.

Jacob Frye, by the by. Nice to know there's sensible people here.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Jacob.

[Well that's unfortunate. Weirdly he hasn't encountered another person named Jacob since he'd been ported from home.]

Deputy Pratt.

I'd be a little better with it if we could choose what showed up. I'd like my guns back.

[nothinglikefather]

Deputy as in... police deputy?

[ Which is even more unfortunate, if it is the case.]

You'd get a lot of use out of them here, then?

[ And no, he isn't about to mention he got a gun for "Christmas" or whatever it was.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah. Back home I was. I don't have jurisdiction here if you're worried about shoplifting from the stores.

[Since that seems to be the first reaction to finding out he's a cop.]

Might. But I'd feel a lot safer with one just in case. All I've got is a knife and a shovel, so if we do get attacked by aliens I'm not feeling real good about my chances.

[nothinglikefather]

Oh. Good.

But I guess there are no laws here so, it hardly matters, does it?

[ Because Jacob Frye's crimes don't really come under shoplifting. They're more... destruction of property. Disturbing the peace. Murder.

All the fun ones.]


Well you can use anything as a weapon. Got a good edge on that shovel?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Not really. And we don't have much of a jail. Don't start murdering everyone, otherwise we may have to keep you chained to a radiator.

Yeah I'm keeping it sharp but I also need to use it for shovel things. Doubly dangerous, anyone I hit with it will get tetnus.

[circumspector]

Did you want one? I mean they're just low end Hyperion pistols, the adjusters aren't even that good, I think there is one good Torgue in here somewhere? Maybe a Jakobs rifle?

[nothinglikefather]

You mean try to keep me chained to a radiator.

[ He sounds very much amused by the idea, if only because he's sure that he wouldn't stay chained to anything for longer than five minutes.]

Shovel things? Like what? Where?

[theweakhavepurpose]

I look forward to seeing you wander around Anchor lugging a whole ass radiator behind you.

[He'd actually be a little impressed.]

Up at the ranch on the agriculture level. I'm planting a bunch of things, carrots, turnips, some sort of lettuce.

[nothinglikefather]

Mate, you break the cuffs.

Oh, vegetables. Do we have wheat? A staple foodstuff?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Cop pro-tip: It's way easier to break what the cuffs are connected to.

Wouldn't do us much good without a mill. We have corn but no wheat or barley or grains. I could try for some but doesn't it take like ten plants to make enough flour for one loaf of bread?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Are those brands? I've never...

[Pause. Stare.]

Jacob's rifle? Why do you have Jacob's rifle?

[circumspector]

Brands. Definitely brands. Jakobs Family have been producing guns for over three hundred years.

[nothinglikefather]

Not when I'm from. But thanks, I'll remember that.

I'm not really interested in bread. There's a much better use for cereal crops.

[eudorapatch]

I'm not sure if it happened to everyone, but it happened to me and to a few other people that I know of. A large enough number for it to not be a random coincidence.
