3rd Joke - I Wonder [Call | Everyone]

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[After asking a few questions, Aaron ends up with many more. This town had a lot to take in but he wants to know where he stands with things before they get out of hand.

Taking the advice of a helpful woman he makes a call to the town. Unfiltered.]]


"Hello again. So, about getting things back over time.

Has anyone ever gotten back something they didn't want?

Has anyone been able to avoid getting things back they didn't want? Is there even a way?"

There is currently no means to avoid the unwanted.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"That's not good.

I guess you tried?"

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

There is nothing that can be tried against random chance.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"I guess not, but what if I don't want anything?"

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

It does not matter.

[blu-hardhat.livejournal.com]

Sure have. It jus' kinda happens. Ain't a way t' avoid it that Ah know of, but it'd sure be nice if'n somebody came up with one.

...though, Ah'd avoid th' Post Office, seein' as that's where a good portion'a 'em come from.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Post office? Why would they... I don't actually even know where to begin there."

[blu-hardhat.livejournal.com]

'S best if you don' try figurin' it out, son. Ah don' even wanna know th' mechanics'a gettin' stuff through whatever kind'a loop they got around this town.

But it had one little time when y'went an' traded in box tops for stuff--but alon' with a 'processin' fee'. Body parts an' memories were that, so. Th' place's bad news.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Memories? How do they do that?"

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I know, I'm afraid. The town gives you back what it wants.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"What if I don't want anything back?"

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I don't think it matters. No one requests or asks for the stuff that just shows up in your mailbox. Has anyone warned you about the post office yet?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"So they just force it back on you eventually?

That seems like a very random question."

[bestwishes]

I got my Tauros back a little while ago... And they kinda wreaked havoc around the town.

I was able to exchange them at the post office for something I actually wanted and something I lost last time I went there.

I'd recommend steering clear of that place though unless you have something you can trade with the postman.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Everyone keeps mentioning that place. What if I don't want anything?"

[bestwishes]

Well, you should just steer clear of it anyway?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Postman, Milkman, Police Chief and Mayor. Oh yeah, and the Smiths. Anyone else I should be worried out?"

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got something back I didn't want a while ago. There's really no way to predict what you'll get back. But I guess if you really wanted to, you could just never open your mail. That's how everything shows up.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Do you think that will work? I'll have to try that."

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

What are you trying to avoid getting back?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Everything."

[ex_seventh238]

[That was fast! It's not a bad surprise.]

You're quick on the uptake. Have you gotten any helpful answers, Aaron?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Most say you can't avoid bad things. Sometimes you get good sometimes you get bad. Someone mentioned just never opening your mail though.

Do you think that might work?"

[ex_seventh238]

That may, but it's up to you to take the risk, if you think it's worth running. Have you heard about the Post Office yet, Aaron? It works on a similar principle.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

"Could something bad happen if I don't open any mail?

I heard a little, you trade things you don't want to trade and get something back. I don't want anything back though so I think I'll stay away."
