Subject: “Brin and the Forbidden Glitter Ball.”

At 10:42 this morning, Brin was spotted lurking suspiciously near the Guild’s festive display shelf.

Witnesses described him as “glowing,”

“unnaturally sparkly,”

and “acting like he’d found the crown jewels.”

Moments later, Brin emerged holding a giant golden glitter bauble

with the proud intensity of a dragon who believes he has uncovered

ancient, world-shattering treasure.

He whispered (loudly):

“This is powerful magic.”

It was not.

It was glitter.

Only glitter.

But it was too late.

Within twelve seconds:

The bauble detonated in a soft but catastrophic sparkle burst

Brin became a shimmering beacon of chaos

Keith got glitter in his mouth

Blue sneezed glitter

Corvus blamed “environmental hazards”

Hades stared at the mess, blinked, and walked away

Eglantine sighed so deeply it registered on the Richter scale

Cleanup efforts stalled when Brin insisted the sparkles were

“a sign from the ancient ones.

Possibly a quest.”

Keith has filed an official report titled:

“Unacceptable Shimmer Event.”

Blue has added four new HR categories under “Glitter-Related Disasters.”

The bauble remains…

everywhere.

Investigation ongoing.
