NOTE: I am forever backtag friendly and absolutely open to doing things from past events that won't really have an effect on things at any given time. For example, if you'd like to do something with Peter aged down or when he was his spider dream guide, etc.

[ On 1 Nov, Peter gets a package. There's a note that reads: ]

Peter. I want you to have these. I think they could help you and Paimon with emotion things. Maybe help him with anger. Thank you for being my friend.
-Credence

[ In the package is the following: ]

This strange artifact gives off a hollow ringing sound, as if being blown by a gentle breeze, once it is hung up in a space, regardless of whether any wind ever blows over it. The sound is incredibly soothing, ridding any who are in the room to have their negative emotions (anger, fear, depression, etc) to slowly disappear. However while it is seemingly beneficial at first, if the chimes play around a person for more than an hour, they may find it increasingly difficult to have any emotions at all, as if the chimes were sapping them of their feelings completely. Once they leave the room, this feeling will persist for up to one day.

These chimes can not be broken, but should anyone smack or strike the chimes on purpose, they will cause a discordant note that makes the chimes otherwise useless for 24 hours.

[ Coincidentally, the first day of November is Peter's eighteenth birthday. Officially an adult, by some standards, anyway. It's.. a strange feeling; there's been a melancholy hanging around him, amplified by trying to recover from October's horrors.

The gift almost seems Meant to Be, a much-needed source of relief. At first, he doesn't realise it has some sort of magical property — he just hangs it up out on the porch and sits under it in the mornings to come, listening to the relaxing chimes. It reminds him of his old house, before this place.

But he soon comes to realise that the sound is more than simply soothing; it's a balm for upset, for ache, for the usual things. For Paimon too — and the gift comes just in time. The river near their house has just.... vanished, seemingly overnight. Deerington is shifting. And the demon used to find solace there by the sounds of the water; he's upset by its disappearance. But the chimes are a perfect substitute.

It's a wonderful gift, and one Peter will be very much grateful to his friend for. When he realises Credence is gone, he'll think of him each time he sits by the chimes. ]
