[It's a cloudy mid-morning on THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, and the town is bustling as always. Many people are quite excited about the second batch of new arrivals; though they're not getting quite the celebration the first round got, they still might find themselves being greeted by bizarrely friendly folk.

Out of place is a number of geese scattered around town, each with their own little messenger bag packed full of rolled up parchment. They're putting the papers up all over, on fence posts and market stalls and storefronts, even stuffing them into mailboxes and leaving them on benches. Each paper is nearly identical, with large, blocky font and the occasional inky feather mark.

If stopped, the geese will be more than happy to talk at great length about how terrible this all is. Strangely, there appear to be a few other people and animals poking around as though looking for something, or acting a bit sullen for such an otherwise joyful day.]

[He's looking from the paper to the geese. Then back at the paper again.]

The hell's a quarter of a sock? And the bakery's right down the street- can'tcha just buy another apple crumble?

[Save for a small growl in the back of his throat, he let it go. He was pissing off a lot of people lately. He wasn't liking it, but his temper was shorter with his new role.]

A'right, homemade, granted. [You guys don't have thumbs. So that's impressive.]

Was there somethin' strange about where the stuff was taken from? No, uh... clues or whatever at the scene? Thieves ain't perfect and always leave somethin' behind if ya look real close.
