CF \| As an agent of the Bureau of Strange Happenings (BOSH), it is Agent
CF \| Larch Faraji's job to investigate unexplained phenomena throughout the
CF \| United States and its territories. Recently, however, business hasn't
CF \| been good. Once a bustling office with a dozen Agents, the Bureau's
CF \| been reduced to just three: Faraji, Moira Zin, and Chief Huffton
CF \| Klimp. The Bureau's expansive and well-appointed office suite was
CF \| taken over by the State Department Book Club, and now the agents have
CF \| been consigned to a tiny suite in a strip mall in the remote D.C.
CF \| suburb of Swamp Park, Maryland. Today is move-in day at the bureau.
CF \|
CF \| We open on a decrepit strip mall just as an aging Hyundai pulls into
CF \| the potholed parking lot. Agent Faraji steps out of the car. They
CF \| survey the area and wrinkle their nose.

CF \| Agent Faraji is at the south end of the strip mall parking lot.
CF \| From here one can see just how humble BOSH's state has become: the
CF \| office is to the west, between a pawn shop (to the southwest) and a
CF \| run-down laundromat (to the northwest) and across from an automatic
CF \| car wash (to the east). To the south is a swampy area separating the
CF \| lot from the interstate. The parking lot continues north.

CF \| Faraji gazes stoically at the sad little storefront that is the new

CF \| her usual manic work mode.

CF \|
CF \| Just like in the store this once was, the door chimes as Faraji walks
CF \| in.
CF \|
CF \| Agent Faraji is in the front office. It's really a small
CF \| storefront done up to resemble an office. A store sales counter
CF \| functions as the BOSH front desk, behind which are located shelves of
CF \| office supplies and a row of drawers. There are also a couch and
CF \| coffee table here creating a makeshift seating area. An old department
CF \| store clothing rack serves as a coat rack. Bureau photos on the walls
CF \| picture the Bureau in better days. A stack of used and empty cardboard
CF \| boxes sits in one corner.
CF \|
CF \| The exit is to the east, while the office continues via a hallway to
CF \| the west.
CF \|
CF \| The Bureau's latest office manager, Margaret is bustling around with
CF \| unrestrained enthusiasm, unpacking boxes and assembling an
CF \| approximation of a respectable front office, all as if the Bureau
CF \| isn't going to be shut down before the year is out. She sees Faraji
CF \| and practically squeals. "Agent Faraji! I'm sorry -- Larch! How are
CF \| you? I hope you don't mind -- I took the liberty of putting your desk
CF \| together. I just love hex wrenches, don't you? Also, your new phone is
CF \| here. I put it in your desk. Now I just need you to give me your old
CF \| phone so I can deactivate it."
CF \|
CF \| "Oh, good", Faraji says. "Our phone downgrades have arrived from our
CF \| bureaucratic betters."
CF \|
CF \| Faraji hands Margaret their old phone. Margaret taps a few keys on her
CF \| computer and says "There! All settled."
CF \|
CF \| A phone is ringing somewhere to the west.
CF \|
CF \| Faraji can ask about the phone exchange, ask where Klimp is, or
CF \| ask where Moira is.

CF \|
CF \| Agent Faraji is in their office. They pause and survey the
CF \| scene. It's not much -- four white walls, grey industrial carpet.
CF \| Margaret has helpfully assembled Faraji's desk and chair, though how
CF \| sturdily is an open question. She also took the time to put up some of
CF \| Agent Faraji's office decor -- their degree in Nonstandard
CF \| Investigative Techniques, an original pencil drawing of the Pitfall
CF \| snake by semi-acclaimed Washington DC artist Darius 5200, and a photo
CF \| of their soccer team. At the very least the wall coverings help
CF \| compensate for the lack of windows. The office door is to the north,
CF \| and there's a white metal door to the west.
CF \|
CF \| Faraji mutters, "Where's my computer?"

CF \| The Dictionary of Strangeness is a compendium of the weird and

CF \|
CF \| Crystals
CF \|
CF \| Crystals are solid materials whose constituents (such as atoms,
CF \| molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic
CF \| structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.
CF \| Crystals are often used in divination and healing, and are believed to
CF \| have various properties and powers. For example, amethyst is said to
CF \| have calming and protective properties, while quartz is said to have
CF \| healing and energy-amplifying properties. Crystals are also used in
CF \| various forms of alternative medicine, such as crystal healing, and
CF \| are often associated with New Age beliefs and practices.
