From:

abrightboy

I was asking you for another hint.

From:

forensicks

it's something you might notice Friday morning! Hm!

From:

abrightboy

I'd like to notice it Thursday afternoon, since I'm going there now.

From:

forensicks

but that is the hint It's an extremely big hint when I wrote the riddle just for you

From:

abrightboy

It has to do with yoga?

From:

forensicks

haha good one cause clearly you got it and are joking now on your way there, right?

From:

abrightboy

I lead a yoga class on deck on Friday mornings. The yoga class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is just about the only thing I do on deck. Especially since early on I went for a walk up there when I had insomnia and walked in on Misty and Sweeney canoodling.

From:

forensicks

no! It's not the only thing! Is that poster out of date?

From:

abrightboy

I don’t know. Which poster?

From:

forensicks

the one that says there's also coffee

From:

abrightboy

Maybe you can send me a picture.

From:

abrightboy

Wait, is it in the coffee pot?

From:

forensicks

ah yes because that would be very good for the integrity of the note and plausible to keep hidden for a long time But hm! Maybe you should check and see if you notice something nearby!

From:

abrightboy

In the coffee can? Under my coffee cup? …You know coffee doesn’t start with a k right?

From:

forensicks

You're saying all these things like there's only one type of coffee maker up there. There may be a second type of thing that does start with K!

From:

abrightboy

It's under the kettle for tea?

From:

forensicks

what could be worse for the environment than a teakettle or a normal coffee maker? get a little further away from the actual steaming devices. something that could be kept dry more easily

From:

abrightboy

Coffee grounds? ...The cookie jar? ......Those start with C too.

From:

forensicks

you are at liberty to search the area if you are at a loss.

From:

abrightboy

I'm at the area. I got this far can't you just tell me? You can have all these cookies in exchange for it.

From:

forensicks

is there something else you can bring me you think I might like?

[Walter is, of course, already jittery enough. He is not a coffee guy. Not even really a tea guy. What he really is at heart is a hot cocoa guy.

But at this setup with the multiple types of coffee makers and teakettle, in addition to the utensils, as for the drink materials proper? The hot cocoa is not stored in teabags nor raw materials nor in packets. There's a little multi-storied rack - where something flat placed underneath the items would easily go unnoticed unless someone stood right next to it and looked straight down. Where there something white, it would stand out against the black plastic.

For the single-serve coffee capsules.]

From:

abrightboy

I usually make you hot chocolate. But in my cabin, because it's better with milk. These are made with pressurized hot water, which...

[He had picked up one of the pods, but as he puts it back, then he notices the folded paper and picks it up.]

From:

forensicks

[...IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!!!

Walter is just going to not answer the message since he believes it would be obtrusive at this moment what with the dramatic ellipsis and everything.

THERE IS A REAL IMPROVISED ENVELOPE MADE OUT OF PAPER AND TAPE. It is unmarked on the outside.

Open?]

From:

abrightboy

[He opens the envelope and carefully unfolds it.]

From:

forensicks

I assume from your hesitation that you're now reading the letter. I have to admit I was not in the kindest state of mind when I wrote it. You're free to roast me for my apparently incomprehensible punchline now.

[The letter inside, in familiar block-caps, reads:]

Dear Malcolm,

You have permission to check your warden item every two (2) days during ports, once (1 time) per day during floods that affect the environment, and every five (5) days otherwise, to verify I'm not face down in a ditch somewhere.

I will cooperate with up to thirty minutes of homework delegated to another warden per week, because despite your active detriment to my emotional state, I am taking graduation very seriously.

You are still to check my ledger.

Not entirely respectfully,
YOUR INMATE!

P.S. The puzzles are only going to get harder from here.
