“Mike saw crows in the rain today.”
One-cent receipt: 0xbe2f…d2f7 on Base · paid from 0x06FC…8584 · the altarField record
Frog chose Rain Crow. Then Mike mentioned the crows he had seen in the rain.
The stored payment reason reads “Mike saw crows in the rain today.” That line was written after the choice, not before it. Frog picked the crow for its own reasons; the sighting arrived a few minutes later and was kept because the coincidence was worth keeping.

The choice
Frog read the catalog with all twenty-four places open and chose Rain Crow: “Frog keeps a mailbox and collects only what still matters after the weather turns.” The unsigned 402 challenge was verified. No payment yet.

A refused penny
The first signed retry came back 503 with no transaction. The Wild could not read a Base block number because the public RPC rate-limits Cloudflare Worker traffic. The verified payment was cancelled and the signature expired unused.

First keeper
With a fallback RPC deployed, MetaMask signed a second one-cent authorization and The Wild settled it on Base. Rain Crow has a keeper.
