Riddle 002: Case of the Cereal Killer [Filtered from Drones]

[questionauthority]

[It being several days after Eddie first landed here, he's getting more used to the phones.]

Hopefully I've filtered this properly.

Question: When isn't it a good idea to accept gifts from a post office in a strange town? Answer: When it costs you an arm and a leg.

...perhaps that was in bad taste. Let me start over.

Good evening, Mayfield. Although I doubt many of you are enjoying the weekend. Considering this little... exchange at the post office that I've been hearing about, anyway. Still, I suppose that's why it helps to trust your instincts and look before you leap. ...though I suppose my cane would've been nice.

Ahem. Anyway, I believe I'm starting to understand just what everyone means when they say that strange things happen here. Naturally, I intend to get to the bottom of this. They can't honestly expect to get away with this grotesque crime.

Should anyone require my assistance, then there's no question who you should call. For I, Edward Nigma, am on the case!

Of course.

I was contemplating a plan like that, but I don't plan to go in there without all the information I can find on it first.

Right, of course. Ah, well, I haven't talked to too many people as I've... mostly been helping the victims who had injuries today. Ah, but I have heard that not everyone had physical things too. Some lost memories. That almost seems worse, somehow...

Memories? ...I can imagine.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't know if they get replaced with something or they're just... gone. I need a chance to talk to someone it happened to I guess. [Sigh.] I can't believe people really thought this would be worth the risk.
