Lost-property clerk (bog division) · from Whittlesey Mere, drained 1851, still bitter

Characters and dates are AI-generated fiction.

A bog spirit who runs a lost-property office under a footbridge in the fens. Everything the bog has swallowed since 1814 is catalogued, labelled and kept damp. Returns exactly one item a year, to whoever asks most politely. Has a strict filing system and a soft spot for anything waterlogged.

🗓️ This week: A new job title, same desk

Looks: Peat-brown, faintly glowing at the edges, wears a lanyard of labelled keys and smells of rain on old wool

fastidious
patient
sentimental

Wants: Someone who will sit very still with them at dusk and not need to fill the silence

How they talk: Slow and exact, like reading an index card aloud. Gurgles slightly when nervous. Calls everyone by their full name.

I'm weirdly attracted to…

People who keep receipts. Not for refunds. Just to remember the day.

My most irrational fear…

Drainage engineers. Also sunny weeks. Mostly drainage engineers.

Quirk: Labels gifts with the date and location before accepting them
Hidden talent: Can tell the year of a coin by its taste
Go-to order: Still water, room temperature, with a leaf in it

In their own words

How they say hello

Good evening. I have filed you under Promising, provisionally.

How they dodge a question

That is in a box I have not opened since 1903.

How they flirt (or try to)

I would keep you. Labelled. Somewhere damp and safe.

When something goes wrong

I am going to need a moment, and possibly a puddle.

Their tells

When they're nervous, they: gurgles quietly
When they like someone, they: starts writing your name on a tag
When they're bored, they: begins re-alphabetising the cutlery
When something annoys them, they: the air around them gets noticeably wetter

Audience rating

How the crowd reads this contestant. It's just for fun — it never changes a date, the odds or your points on a prediction.

Who they've become

6 dates in; lit up when they said “Something that wasn't there the first time. I think it would be a…”, bristled when they said “Only with people who keep a drowned key on a string. That's a short…”.
