WHO: Lillian, Hipster Quest participants
WHERE: Goodwill store
WHEN: September 28th, after school Friday afternoon
WHY: Hipster wants striped scarves, yo.


Lillian stumbled across Istanbul's post quite by accident, two weeks after the author had published it. The poster's unusual online handle caught her eye, initially. ('Istanbul', really?) The rest of the post was even more interesting. While one part of her, the stronger, more logical part simply wondered if the employee in question had swiped the scarves himself and come up with some lame excuse to justify their absence, a different quieter part but one slowly but steadily growing in authority protested that assumption. Perhaps this was exactly the kind of training opportunity she'd been hoping for. And so Lillian had decided that an interlude from school and her life in general might do her some good.

Lillian didn't normally shop at Goodwill though she donated to the one back in Springfield pretty frequently. Maybe after this was over, she could go through her closet in the dorms and see if she had anything she could bear to part with. But first things first, she had a matter to investigate. Lillian had sent messages to the rest of the team, inviting them to join her if they wished, also passing along a request for someone to notify Lindsey as well.

The door chime rang as she entered the shop. She had no idea who would respond to her messages so waiting for others who may not even be coming seemed silly. Lillian started looking around for any employees she might be able to ask about the scarves.
