Neal Stephenson's newest book, ReaMdE, which is fecking rad, glared me in the face as I opened the box. It's intense orange visage held my eyes, as if mocking me "Go ahead, look at the other things in here with me, I dare ya!" But press on I did, whereupon I discovered not one, but two individually wrapped packages, both bearing a card with a cryptic, hand scrawled note "Happy Arbitrary Day! Reddit" Within the first a multifaceted collection of clear gemstones etched with blue elven runes, slightly glowing in the fading light of my living room (I think my neighbor may be an orc).

Within the depths of the next, a pouch, simple in design, yet covered in yet more elven runes, a single large rune ringed by with smaller ones, as though to contain the mighty power of the great central word.
