I'll admit it, I screamed when I saw this-

[Camera pans to land on a dagger. Then the camera comes back to Bitterblue.]

I was hoping for a dress or one of the very interesting looking hand scribed books I see everywhere in my memories- a book from another world would be fantastic.

I was not hoping for a- a weapon! [A weapon she's pretty sure she saw her memory-mother use to kill someone - necessary for their survival, sure. But still! She's sure if they tested the blade in a forensic lab someone's trace DNA might be found on it.]

That's... pretty scary. I'd vote for the books too. But this is what we've got, I guess. I'm certainly not going to complain about any of my stuff anymore. I'd clean out other-me's whole closet if it kept me from getting stuff like that.

I'm quite alright with giving this up for testing. If I'd received a book, I don't know if I'd be willing to part with it.

[traceofeffort]

As long as whoever you loan it to for testing doesn't try to keep it if there's something strange on it. Then we'd have a bunch of problems at once.

A private lab should be professional about this.

I hope.

[traceofeffort]

I hope so too, but at this point I don't think we can take anything for granted.

It's not, like. Bloody or anything, right? Just a knife? [She shivers; it's just a knife is pretty up there on the list of things she didn't think she'd be saying this year, thank you!]

[ashenscipher]

I agree.

It is just a dagger and its scabbard.

It looks clean, but I wonder what would be found in the scabbard. It seems like that would harbor... particulates.

[traceofeffort]

Oh, probably. Who knows when it was washed out last? Or whatever you do to that. You can't exactly get a cloth in there, and it doesn't sound like they could have poured a proper sanitizer in it or whatever. [Lisa, you are not an expert on medieval cleaning techniques. You're not even an expert on modern-day cleaning techniques.]
