The mysterious DVD challenge - 01/03/23 10:31 PM
Hey FoLCs! It's been forever. Many of you probably don't even know/remember me. But I've recently reconnected with some FoLCs elsewhere and it somehow prompted my brain to come up with this challenge:
The possibilities here are endless. I can think of multiple interesting answers for each of these questions. I'll put some options under the spoiler, but don't feel you have to limit yourself to those. Or even read them. It might be better if you don't and just go where your muse takes you.
1. Who gets it?
2. Who sent it?
3. Why send it? Was a note included?
4. What does the recipient do? Do they show it to anyone else? Do they change their actions? Do they do what the sender expected, or something else entirely?
There's also the possibility that if it's coming from a different universe it might be different from the show we saw. Maybe it comes from a timeline where it got a 5th season?
I'm curious to see what people do with this. There are many possible directions you can go, different tones you can take, etc. If it tickles your muse, see where it takes you.

Christmas 1992. (So nearly a year before season one.) Someone (could be anyone in Metropolis, Smallville, or anywhere else - you choose) wakes up to find a mysterious gift wrapped package with their name on it.
Inside is a portable DVD player. (DVDs weren't introduced until 1997.) It has its own built-in screen, but also has output ports and cables. Below that is another box, labeled "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete Series DVD Box Set. "
