None of this stuff looks vintage to me. This guy was clearly an outdoorsman. The worst thing I think you can say about these are they look like they were well kept, but they were all probably at least lightly used.

*Looks back at one of the photos*
I wonder if he has a family...

I imagine all this stuff is sturdier than the stuff a place that uses copper for currency could make… No offense to them.

@Magnanimity

Unless it’s vintage, maybe?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Yeah. Or at least some of the stuff. That sword and gun are cool, but stuff like these picks, or maybe a sturdy tent or a grill with lifetime usability would also sell for a lot while we could keep the more practical stuff.

@Magnanimity

Do you know if they have good durability, or if they’re for show?

*Grabs it and pulls it down*
Eh, thanks…

@Magnanimity

Are you thinking about selling these?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Someone’s gotta use it. Maybe eventually the military comes back to salvage the ships, but all this little stuff are drops in the ocean.
*Gets up on my toes again and reaches for a couple of climbing picks near the back of the shelf, and jumps a couple of times trying to pull it from its awkward position toward me so I can reach it better*

@Magnanimity

You’re right. It’ll go somewhere no matter what.
*Sticks the end of the fishing pole in the top of the shelf and drags the picks toward the edge*

*Walks over next to you and reaches for a large pack on the high shelf, standing on my toes to just barely nudge it my way before pulling it down. I speak through mild strain while I do this*
You’ve… Got time.

@Magnanimity

I still feel bad about rummaging through his stuff. But like you said, there’s no one left to be angry.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

You gonna name it?

@Magnanimity

It needs one, doesn’t it? This is a lot of pressure.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Crosses my arms behind you and grins as I look into the closet from your side*
Well well. Who’s so lucky now?

@Magnanimity

*Lifts the pole and tests its weight*
The legendary fishing pole is real. What a day.

I always heard about people being lazy with security back home. I guess some things don’t change from society to society.
*The closet reveals itself to be a small space, not even large enough to walk in. But it’s filled with camping gear along a shelf on the wall, climbing equipment and other outdoorsy stuff on the floor lined up nicely, and a small orange metal tackle box resting next to a very hefty looking fishing pole leaning up against the corner*

@Magnanimity

Could it be...
*Curls my fingers around the base of the pole*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I’m not going out of my way to pry too deep. But yeah, looks like there’s a lock control right on his home screen.
*A click at the closet door sounds off in tandem with a click of the mouse*

@Magnanimity

That was easy enough.
*Walks over and opens the closet*
