[🎻] :||: “Is it not curious how just the smallest thing disappearing could potentially end in catastrophe? And I do not mean items such as a bolt holding in a bulk head, or a compass from the helm. The things that can send someone over the edge into anguish or frustration or giddiness–if a man who has built his life upon crafting fine garments loses his favorite thimble, of course he has more, but this is his life’s work: it could be the tipping point to him finally burning down his shop for the insurance money, but accidentally taking out an entire city block in the process.”
“There are tales of beings that can sense the power of these objects, predicting just what one little spec of dust will be the one to topple society, and then taking it for their hoard. They’re small, these creatures, only visible if they want you to see them, and they know the course of nature for every species they decide to trick and destroy. Do take care to watch your feelings, my good fellow: therapy helps. I would hate to potentially see my end because your lucky eye patch went missing. …If the legends are true, anyway.”
