Apparently I'm not the only one who randomly got something today. As pretty as this is, it's not my style. Is anyone missing this?

[Daisy held up a blue pendant in front of the camera.]

Looks like it was hand made, not sure if the camera is really picking that up.

Also it looks like at least one other person received the note I did with mine. So my guess is someone, or something, is messing with other peoples belongings. Nothing of mine seems to be missing.

Seein' as how mine are not pierced, I do not believe I do. And guitars are not really my girlfriend's style.

[ to his knowledge, no items of worth are missing from his person. he tends to keep all that on him at all times — ring, pistols, knife, pocket watch. it's all present and accounted for. ]

No, and nothing appears to be missing. Must be a selective occurrence.

[morethan084]

More like random.

[Daisy looks down at the note again that came with it.]

Or not. I received this with it.

[Daisy held up the note that read: In the search for something lost, do what you know you must. -RQ]

No idea who RQ is. Maybe this is just some sort of bonding thing? Come together and give back what isn't ours? Like we aren't already constantly around each other.

[wildwest]

Or not so random. Wouldn't put it past this place to try and pass off something deliberately selective as nothing more than a random occurrence.

[ doc reads that note aloud to himself. hmm... ]

Suppose the first question you ought to ask yourself is if this 'RQ' is a resident or someone with a bit more power than the rest of us.

[morethan084]

I wouldn't put it past this place to do anything. Kind of learned that since I've been here, anything I thought couldn't be possible went out the window a long time ago.

[Someone with a bit more power than the rest of us? Daisy's brows knit together.]

What? Like someone not seen or heard but has been watching us?

[wildwest]

Aren't the characters from that there novel the ones sittin' in a position higher than the rest of us? That note seems to be pretty in line with the cryptic messages they have for us every now and then.

[morethan084]

Just had someone suggest it could be the Red Queen who's MIA at the moment.

Not exactly reassuring.

[wildwest]

MIA?

[ is he asking for details on that or does he not know what "MIA" stands for? both. it's both. ]

[morethan084]

Missing in Action.

Ever since she got swallowed up by 'the core' a while ago. Not really sure what that means exactly, but, I guess I have my research ahead of me.

[wildwest]

How delightfully ominous. [ perhaps deliberately so. he refused to believe so much about this world and the way it behaved was pure coincidence. ]

And you have been doin' just that — research?

[morethan084]

Same could be said about a lot of things that happen around here.

Well no. Not yet. I'm about to have a long night ahead of me though. Something tells me there's going to be a lot of information I'm going to have to go through.

[wildwest]

This place in and of itself is ominous. Wonderland may as well be the very definition of the word.

Oh, no doubt. I would offer to help were my girlfriend not dead set on toting the item she found herself with around on a quest to find its owner. [ wynonna is so desperate for something to do, she's treating a lost teddy bear like a mission. lord help him. ]

[morethan084]

It's fine. Thanks for the offer anyway.

[She does smile at the way he sounds like he's already done with this whole thing.]

What did she get?

[wildwest]

[ oh, he is. 500% done. ]

A stuffed bear.

[ the proper name for it nowadays — "teddy bear" — is lost on him. he was stuck at the bottom of a well during both roosevelts terms in office. ]

[morethan084]

She got a teddy bear? I guess that's still less random than a sweaty t-shirt.

[Sorry but that amuses the hell out of Daisy regardless.]

Any luck yet on finding its owner?

[wildwest]

Teddy? [ why on earth was it called that? ]

Looks like it belonged to someone who is no longer present in Wonderland. And you, have you the owner of that there sweaty t-shirt?

[morethan084]

Yeah. You know, a teddy bear.

Or did you mean, like, a real dead bear?

[She really hopes that's not what he meant.]

Oh. That wasn't mine, someone else was gifted that. Thank god.

[wildwest]

[ yeah, but why is it called that? ]

No, a stuffed one. Like a child's plaything.

[morethan084]

Right. So. A teddy bear.

[She's so confused right now.]

[wildwest]

Yes, a teddy bear.

[ he is as confused as she is, but at least gets that the thing is called a "teddy bear" these days. for some reason. ]

[morethan084]

[So much confusion right now.]

Maybe she could see if anyone would want the bear? I'm sure a lot of kids here would like it. Not that they couldn't just use the closet to get one of their own....

[wildwest]

Oh, she isn't gonna make it that easy. She's into the mystery of it all. Wants to treat it like a case.

[ he gets it. she's bored, restless, in need of something productive to do — or something she can tell herself is productive. much as they both detested black badge, he knows wynonna grew used to the law enforcement gig and isn't handling sitting around waiting for the next event too well. ]

[morethan084]

I guess when there's nothing else to do, you could make an investigation out of anything.

Probably not a bad idea right now with so many people getting something random.
