MORE TO COME LATER.
LOVE, OFIUCO.
3/15 1900 MST:
Okay. I picked this up from the post office; naturally the first thing I noticed was the return address, which says 'Please do not bend'. The postperson did not bend it; thanks for that! But more importantly, there are dots over certain letters; they spell out SHARE, with a teeny tiny question mark under the last E. There is also morse code on the side of the package. As has been noted, it spells out ZZG, or 'You are Correct' in Z-code. There are 6 97-pence stamps and a 90-pence stamp. This equals 6.72. I'm not sure if that means anything (yet). Also, YT has beautiful handwriting. (I don't.)
1920 MST: Back of the package. First of all, there is an OOG note on the side. It is a private OOG detail, so I won't be releasing that. It has been spraypainted with two different shades of red. There appears be a thumbprint. There is also a cute red 'From <3' stamp. In the middle, there is a circle with a weird design and some words. Namely, it says 'Happy Eostre' and 24 4 11. This is undoubtedly a reference to Easter. Also, surprise, the weird design is Morse Code! I'll start from the squiggly and go clockwise. .... | .- | .-. | .- | -. | --. | ..- | ... || -.-. | .-.. | ..- | ..-- | . |.- | SQUIGGLY ||
1930 MST: There are dots over 'end' in Friend on the envelope to the card. Also, the card has been sealed with clear wax. This simply would not photograph. However, I can assure you that it is just a lowercase g.
The incense smells really good. I have no idea what it is. It's yellow. I could probably identify it if I smelled it again. Cloves?
I am more sure now that the mysterious herb is rosemary. I crumbled some up and it smells more rosemary-y. I'm not sure what else would look like that. It's definitely not curry.
2000 MST: I reassembled the ripped up pieces of paper. It was a pamphlet for the Lunar Society of Birmingham. I'll spare you the messy tape and just send you to where you can find it yourself: http://www.lunarsociety.org.uk/
2150: The only things remaining at this point are the plastic thing, the crucifix, the herbs, the incense, and the page from the book. I examined the book. There is a letter z written in white crayon. I need to examine it more. Also, I suspect clove oil was dripped on it. I think that's where the clove smell comes from. Acting on the idea that perhaps it was really two pages glued together and that there might be fun inside, I pulled them apart a little. I was right that it was glued together, but not that there was fun inside. I found a red string, which I don't think was intentional - it looks like it may have been part of a binding from which the page was removed.
