"I saw a bulletin when I went out for groceries," the old woman replies. "Pure chance, really. Usually I just walk on by the notice board. But this time, I'd found something, so I thought I'd see if anyone had posted a lost property notice."
She holds up the scroll.
"No idea what it's about. Can't make any sense of it. So I've just been carrying it around in hopes I find someone who has a clue about it."
"Well, I'm afraid that's not me," you say. "It doesn't even look like it's in a language at all to me."
"Ah well," she shrugs. "Anyhow, whoever put up the notice made a mistake and put up two of them, so I grabbed one of them as a souvenir." She pulls it out of her purse. "Did you see this?"
"No, I heard about the show through word-of-mouth."

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
