[On Susan's desk, near the autumn-colored tree, there is a neat stack of envelopes with names written on them, tied together with a green ribbon. Given that there isn't one for Estelle, they're probably recent. There's also a lovely painting of a golden wheat field under an indigo sky - seems she never got the chance to hang it up anywhere.]

Valuable
These could come in handy


Blue Orb
An orb made of clear blue crystal. It seems to sparkle at times with some inner light.

Butter-Passing Robot
It's a tiny robot whose purpose is to pass butter. It hates this.

Clear Ciel Crystal
A beautiful crystal that’s bound to be at least mildly important to someone.

Deck of Cards
An old, beaten up deck of cards. Each card is covered in different scratches and folds, so it’s obvious it’s been very well-used. In fact, if you memorized which card had which marks, you might be able to use that to your advantage! But no one would do that, right?

Eyepatch
Here in CLAMP, we go for the eyes.

Golden Flower Tea
A small box with "Golden Flower Tea" written on it in neat script. It contains some loose-leaf tea.

Instant Camera
A gift from Chie. An instant camera containing one roll of film. Perfect for taking photos of executions with.

Kama
A gift from the Adjudicator. A small hand scythe, similar to a sickle, largely used as a farming implement for reaping crops. Or taking out your fellow Competitors, if you'd prefer.

Machete
A gift from the Transmitter. A broad-bladed weapon that can be used as either an implement or a short sword.

Old Goldie
An old novelty dispenser. Insert a coin to watch it malfunction, screech like a damned soul, and spew oil and sparks from its mouth and eyes!
Given to Tabby, taken back after her death

Pendant
A necklace with a blue stone pendant attached. It doesn't have any power here, but it does still have sentimental value.

Reinforced Club
A gift from the Adjudicator. This blunt object is simple but effective; it's designed to do what you need it to with the least amount of effort. No second swings required.

Roomba
An automatic vacuum cleaner set to activate at 7 AM on the dot each morning. It cleans the entire floor before returning to its charging area.

Sheer Heart Attack
A vinyl copy of the actual Queen album.

Stone Mask
An artifact thought to originate from a Vampiric cult hidden within the Aztec Empire. It doesn't do anything, though.

Wayfinder
Supposedly it provides luck, but it got shoved in this machine how lucky can it be?

Widow's Gown
An elegant wedding dress, veil and all. But it's entirely black.

For Trade?
Someone else might want these?


Aperture Laboratory Mobility Gel Samples
A few samples of gel from Aperture Laboratories, in rather small quantities, just enough to cover one’s hand. A blue gel, an orange gel and a white gel. The blue one makes stuff bounce from it, the orange gel lessens friction considerably, the white gel doesn’t show any noticeable properties due to the lack of portals.

Badminton Racket
Complete with shuttlecock! Too bad you can’t play all by yourself.

Bahamut Plush
Who wouldn’t want an adorable huggable version of this guy?

Battle Chapeau
A sporty looking derby. The brim can fall away, and it looks like something was supposed to be stashed in here at one point.

Bottle of Dragon Piss x2
Is it alcohol or is it actual dragon piss? We just don’t know.

Crystal x2
Every good hero needs one! Normally it beeps and flashes when someone is in danger, but it looks like it doesn’t work here.

Fashionable Hat
A hat with a checkerboard pattern and a skull dec on it. Mildly demented expression not included.

Favorite Guitar
Well-tuned, well-cared for, this acoustic guitar clearly has a dedicated owner. It looks pretty neat with its swoop and sunburst finish. Go on, be the rockstar you’ve always wanted to be.

Gauntlet
A large metal gauntlet to be worn on the right arm. It has a strange circular design inscribed into it. Despite the spikes, it's not useful as a weapon.

Gold Bar
An ingot of solid gold. Where… where are they all coming from?

Gem Destabilizer (x2)
This appears to be some kind of tuning fork. Even though it looks cool, it can’t be used as a weapon.

Hairspray
This super-strong hairspray is bound to keep your hair in perfect shape all day!

Hard Hat
Huh, it’s strangely bent. Did it collide with someone’s face?

House Baratheon Banner x2
Display your house pride with this large banner!

Idol Outfit
Anyone can be an idol with the right outfit!

Jug of Sea Water
In case you missed the touch of the ocean.

Life Preserver
Useful for people learning to swim. You could also throw it at an orca, maybe, but it's not really a weapon...

Nudist Beach outfit
A modified nurses' uniform, black with white cross insignias on it. What with the cropped top and short skirt, it's notably lacking in the actual "fabric" department.

Prayer Beads
A necklace worn by a Buddhist nun. Bright green in color.

Roomba x2
An automatic vacuum cleaner set to activate at 7 AM on the dot each morning. It cleans the entire floor before returning to its charging area.

Rosary x2
This thing looks ancient, but it seems to be in good shape despite that. Someone must really love it.

Skateboard
The only way to get anywhere in style!

Tamato Berry
These berries look like ordinary tomatoes, but covered in spines. WARNING: Incredibly spicy, be careful to avoid getting the juices in your eyes.

Junk
I'm never going to need these


Collar x2
A thick metal collar that closes at the front and can be locked in place around one's neck. This one's open, though. Comes complete with padlock!

Dinosaur Bone x2
A large dinosaur bone with a certificate so you know it's real.

Royal Throne
A small throne fit for a king... bird. A bird king.

Turnip
It's a large turnip with a string tied to it. You know, for butt practice.

Gone
Nothing lasts forever

Given to Rin

Milk
High-grade local milk. The bottle says it's from the Margaret mega-farm in Oak Tree Town.
Just put it in the fridge, honestly

▷ First Impressions
▶ VISUAL: Susan is a middle-aged woman of average height, with a rather wiry build. She doesn't look like she puts a lot of time and effort into her appearance; her dark wavy hair is kept simply cut near her jawline, never styled, and she doesn't wear makeup regularly. Still, her green eyes are striking. Her face is generally sharp-looking, in both shape and expression. Susan favors dark-colored clothes and layers that hide her frame.
▶ AURAL: Susan has a British accent. She's soft-spoken, only really getting loud when she's very upset. Her voice tends to be dry.
▶ DEMEANOUR: Susan tends to be quiet and withdrawn. She doesn't exactly give off an air of approachability.
▷ IC Permissions
▶ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: You can try it.
▶ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: You can try it.
▶ RELATIONSHIPS: Unlikely
▷ OOC Permissions
▶ BACKTAGGING: Yes
▶ THREADHOPPING: Yes
▶ FOURTHWALLING: This seems unlikely to come up, but no.

As it turns out, one cannot simply disappear for several months and expect everything to be in order upon their return.

But Susan has friends now. Particularly, a friend who can give her a cat Pokemon that can spontaneously produce gold coins. It's a power to be used sparingly, as she has no desire to attract attention from anyone ever again, but it all ends up with her owning her first real house, a small place out in the English countryside, full of cats and the odd fire-breathing alien creature. She hasn't got any close neighbors. It's for the best; she likes to let her pets wander, and that includes the Pokemon. Some of the locals nearest still avoid her - all she's done is gone from the crazy cat lady in Flat Three to the crazy cat lady way out in the middle of nowhere - but that's alright. They don't matter.

She keeps busy; that's important. Her memory never fully recovered, but she recalls enough to pick up her blog again. Her followers had been worried about her. Reconnecting with forgotten friends is a bit trickier, but she makes it all work as well as she can manage. It's harder now, with all the traveling and the strangeness. She never tells anyone alive about where she's been all this time.

But things settle into normalcy, as they tend to. Her house is always open to other survivors of Graceside, of course.* Susan isn't entirely accustomed to playing hostess, but it's a nice, quiet place to get away for a while.






* Excluding a few, but they know who they are and probably don't want to come see her anyhow.
