Exclusive Delta Warriors Mini Story: Time Capsule
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 18:07:13 +0000 UTCBerdly had recently purchased a metal detector online. Every once in a while him and his friends go out to look for treasure and have some lunch later
They’ve walked around outside for a while, Mostly sticking close to the town and making sure that they had a good chance of finding something
“*So what’s our haul this month?”
Noelle asked sitting on a rock looking cute as possible
Susie picked through her small collection of things she dug up
“*Some old coins, A nail, half a dozen bottle caps.”
Susie replied displeased with the junk
“*I’ve found nothing of value either.”
Kris answered
“*Lets keep searching guys, There’s gotta be something of value in a town like this!”
Berdly said determined to find anything that could be deemed noteworthy
They kept following Berdly around
Berdly moved the metal detector side to side on the ground, they stuck close by to sidewalks and walking around buildings.
“*This is ridiculous man, there's nothing in this town.”
Susie said
“*This place is rich with history Susie, I am sure there are many treasures that are yet to be discovered.”
Kris replied
Berdly walked behind the Library
As he did there was a beeping sound almost immediately
Susie took a shovel and placed it into the ground she immediately hit something hard
“*Oh, that sounds promising!”
Noelle exclaimed
Susie positioned the shovel and moved a piece of dirt
Revealing concrete underneath
“*I think we’ve found a patio.”
Kris said
Susie moved more of the dirt off the concrete
Kris was correct, There was a small patio and sidewalk, it seems after years of neglect this was once a small outdoor reading area that hasn’t been used in probably decades
They dug it up and found a rusted placard on the ground, Kris looked down at the plaque
“*It says here that a time capsule was buried here thirty years ago. Specifically March 12 1992.”
Kris said
“*Eh… By the Angel, why that date…”
Noelle winced
“*When is it supposed to be opened?”
Susie asked
“*Five years ago.”
Kris answered
“*Well let’s go open it then!”
Berdly said
“*Hold on, We should tell Mrs Boom that we’re doing this right?”
Noelle asked
“*Yes I think she would like to know about this.”
Kris replied
With that they walked into the Library
They stepped inside to see Mrs Boom sitting at the front desk
“*Ah, hello, Berdly.”
She said gently in a sweet tone
“*It's a joy to see you here today.”
Mrs Boom continued with a small smile
“*It’s nice to see you too, I wanted to ask a question about a time capsule?”
Berdly said
“*A wha?”
Mrs Boom asked
“*The time capsule outside, It’s by the patio out back.”
Susie replied
Mrs Boom sat in her chair for a moment recollecting
…
“*I don’t know anything about a time capsule.”
Mrs Boom answered honestly
“*So… Are we free to open it?”
Noelle asked
“*Sure thing children, You’ll hear no complaints from me.”
Mrs Boom said before going back to reading
They walked outside and walked to the back of the library
Susie quickly dug up the time capsule and placed it on the concrete
They opened it up and peaked inside
A few stand out items right away
Kris grabbed some old magazines
They quickly flipped through the pages and read through it
“*This is an old gossip magazine, talking about the latest rumors and music videos at the time. It’s a very fascinating perspective of the culture at the time.”
Kris said
“*How is that impactful?”
Susie asked
“*Well the history of music is fascinating even with my little understanding of it. The music industry is very much a cold and cruel environment. Often hating music artists that were humans and seen as irregular.”
Kris replied
“*This magazine seems to call out this behavior, Allowing readers to be aware of these artists’ existence and letting them know of other music viewing networks and radio stations that played these artists.”
Kris said
Berdly reached into the time capsule and pulled out a small rectangular object wrapped in tape and bubble wrap
Berdly opened it up and gasped
“*I think this is a Jenten cartridge!”
Berdly shouted
Berdly unwrapped it and looked closely
“*Oh that’s kinda neat, It’s nothing rare or anything but it’s still a cool piece of history. It’s a copy of Riley’s Adventures for the JES. They aren’t very valuable because they’re everywhere, but it’s still a very worthwhile find. I bet whoever this belongs to played the heck out of this forever ago. Wonder if they still live in town.”
Berdly said
There wasn’t really much else of value in the box, A few small toys, old coins and nothing really else
Susie closed the box
“*Well… That was kinda interesting I guess.”
Susie said
“*I mean it was fun to walk around town and explore.”
Noelle replied
“*Reminds me of all the adventures we used to go on when we were little right Kris?”
Noelle asked
Kris nodded with a gentle smile
“*See? We got something out of this. It was all fun in the end and that’s cool in its own way.”
Noelle said with a jolly smile
