CLASSIFIED-ISH OPERATIONAL BRIEFING / M-006
YOUR ORDINARY WORLD.
AN EXTRAORDINARY EXCUSE TO NOTICE.
Sometimes the smallest object has the biggest personality. A perfectly positioned paperclip, a heroic little screw or a lone decorative pebble might seem like the main character in an overly serious documentary.
02 SAMPLE CASE
AN EXAMPLE REPORT.
Example report: “The single blue binder clip on my desk looks like it manages the entire department.”
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · NOT A COMMUNITY SUBMISSION03 THE NOT-SO-SECRET EXPLANATION
WHY THIS IS FUN.
Changing the scale of your description can make ordinary possessions feel hilariously important. Give a supporting character its own case file.
04 SAFETY DIRECTIVE
KEEP IT HARMLESS.
Avoid sharp, hot, toxic or otherwise hazardous objects. Observing without touching is always acceptable.
