Tonight, you decide to head down to the Seabourne Post Office, wondering what might be hidden there. From what you’ve heard, you’re investigating this site to see if there’s any indication as to what might have happened to Misch. You’re not sure if there’s a reason for his sudden disappearance, or if there’s something related to the Stalkers here. Still, you’re confident you might find something that no one else has come across.

While you walk down the path, the rain comes down lightly all around you, lightly tapping and trickling down all around your dark-blue carapace. It’s a quiet and almost peaceful night with the only sounds being the light patter of the rain, but you still keep your wits about you and make sure there aren’t any suspicious moving shadows in the dark, knowing your guard can’t be let down when the Stalkers are still out and targeting anyone who is caught unaware. After all, you’re still well-aware of what went down only two nights ago…

When you arrive at the post office, you see the old brick building has been closed for tonight and all the lights in the building are off. You start your search by going around the perimeter to see if there is anything unusual. So far, nothing about the state of the building seems to be out of the ordinary, even though it is old and likely has been here for many generations. Even checking the old bricks to see if there’s any hidden caches doesn’t yield anything.

Back the back of the building, you find a small shrub bush that was recently planted here, but you sense a kind of odd, shadowy energy ebbing from it. You take a closer look and at first, you think the shrub bush might be cursed and afflicted with something, but the branches and leaves seem to be in good condition and don’t show any signs of abnormality.

It takes you a while to find the source of it, but buried by the base of the bush, you find what looks to be an oddly shaped stone just barely peeking out. You reach in to dig it out, and once you do, you discover it wasn’t the bush that was the source of this energy, it was this odd prism.

You brush the dirt and mud off with your clawed head and inspect it closely from multiple angles. It looks to be somewhat shadowy and murky, as if it contained ethereal oil inside. You’re not sure why it was placed here or what this is even for, but you can sense there’s got to be some kind of supernatural purpose to this thing. You take it with you, wondering what it might be for…

After checking out the rest of the outside, you then make your way in, using an old window to make your way inside. Just like the exterior, the inside seems old and it doesn’t look like it was remodeled very recently, although the painted walls and the tiled ceiling still seem to be in good condition for the most part. Additional paper and stationary products like boxes, envelopes, and cartons are available for sale here for those who need these materials to mail any letters or packages.

Meanwhile, there’s plenty of P.O. boxes here. Most of them seem locked and the ones that aren’t don’t have a current owner yet, but there is one you find that looks like it once was used many years ago, but has been forgotten about for a while. Besides some old mail in it that was forgotten about and outdated by over three years, you find a small envelope with a small package inside. Since the original owner is never coming back for these things, you open it and discover a beautiful diamond necklace inside. It must have been sitting here for years, likely ordered and delivered some time ago, but never claimed.

In your clawed, blue hand, it seems to radiate with a unique energy, and it almost seems like the diamond itself has some kind of blessing or enchantment… but from what and how this was done, you have no idea. Still, you decide to wear it and it looks quite nice, almost making you feel rich and famous given this necklace must be worth quite a bit.

After searching the back room, you find the employee area, and you discover that besides Misch, Verio works here during the day as well. From what you see, they’re the only two workers here, and with Misch missing, Verio is alone and the only support he has is an off-site supervisor. Judging from the employee records, Flaynak the Hariyama, the supervisor, only comes once every two weeks to check up on things.

You imagine without Misch and with Flaynak barely even being around, Verio is alone, worried about his family, and now his son is barely even alive. You can see why Verio has become paranoid and fearful in these dark times…

Unfortunately, you find the last time Misch clocked in was two and a half weeks ago. And that’s the last known record of his whereabouts. From what you gather, he may have fled Seabourne in panic without notifying anyone, or he may be dead as just another victim of the Stalkers. The only other possibility is he could be in hiding, but you imagine he would have had to come out by now…

You decide to head back to Benni’s, feeling you came across a lucky find tonight, which felt good for once. It was definitely worth the trip through the pouring rain.
