valentine's days

loot drop! 👾

For this month's Bear Blog Carnival, Absurd Pirate asks, what's in your inventory?

Without further ado, here are the things that would come spilling out of my body if this was a video game and you jumped me:

hygiene kit

A packet of tissues, a small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol, and enough pills for a small pharmacy. Whoever packed this did not tolerate headaches, stomachaches, or allergic reactions.

wallet

A simple wallet. The coin pocket bulges out because its owner is too shy to pay with all of the loose change.

pen

A black gel pen, patterned with ice cream scoops and fitted with a pink clip. Rumor has it that its owner paid way too much money for it. But it's just a pen, isn't it?

planner

A notebook with a few pages torn out and many more stuffed in the back. It holds many secrets, but the writing is illegible to anyone other than the writer.

e-reader

Legend has it that it contains many more stories than its owner has managed to read. The task now falls to you.

laptop

A laptop with a scratched-up bottom. Although it appears fairly new, it also appears to have been through quite a lot.

water bottle

A small water bottle. It can be wielded as a weapon for walking home alone at night. Often forgotten at home—how lucky to get it!

backpack

A sensible backpack with lots of room. It has many pockets, but the straps are fiddly. Check for crumpled papers and forgotten receipts.
