After all the tricks, does this place really expect me to open a box sitting innocently under the Christmas tree I didn't even help set up, just because it has my name on it?
[ There is a pause as he considers it. ] Right. I didn't think so.
((OOC: Action open to housemates and/or any guests for that morning, or anyone who would reasonably stop by 840 Hastings.))

Date: 2012-01-07 12:35 am (UTC)I do do most of my transportation either via walking or via car. So I suppose I don't.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 12:37 am (UTC)In that case, I'll come get it.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 12:42 am (UTC)If you wish. I live at 728 Anderson lane.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 12:51 am (UTC)Alright. I can be over in a little while. I'll just... figure out what's in this box first so I don't just leave it here. [ To explode or do whatever it might do if he ignores it. ]

Date: 2012-01-07 12:59 am (UTC)[A small hum of acknowledgement.] Take your time. But I highly doubt it's anything less than simply something from your world that you've lost.

Date: 2012-01-07 01:31 am (UTC)I think I understand.
[There's a tiny gulp, almost a sound like she's going to cry. But when she speaks again, her voice is clear.] Be careful.
[And whenever Touma gets there, the porch light will be on, but all the blinds in the front of the house will be closed.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 01:33 am (UTC)[ At the house, he doesn't think anything of the sight, thinking maybe she just likes her privacy. Touma knocks and waits, hands in his pockets. He swears his right arm is tingling, but that has to be all in his head, so he fidgets periodically. ]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 01:47 am (UTC)the house is filled with paper.
Nigh-literally. There are paper clippings on almost every visible surface of the living room behind her. Some in foot-high stacks, some just piled in bunches...and there's also a piece caught in between her hair bobble and hair.]
Please excuse the mess. I've kept the bicycle inside so it would not be dirtied by the snow and salt.

[ Now he suddenly feels as if crossing the threshold might not be such a good idea, but if she lets him, he'll enter. ] You look like you've been, uh, busy.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-08 11:25 pm (UTC)One of the packages I received this Christmas. [And that's basically all she says, turning around and striding back into the house, towards some place in the back. She doesn't touch the front door, so take it as an invitation inside.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-08 11:56 pm (UTC)Touma can't stop his eyes from wandering as he looks at the sheer amount of items strewn about. What do they say? Why are they up like that? Did she hang them? ] You mean, you received more than one?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-08 11:59 pm (UTC)Yes. This one came in the mail. My dress was under the Christmas tree, but in similar packaging.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-09 12:02 am (UTC)Did you spread them out or did the box just explode or something?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-09 12:07 am (UTC)I spread them out. I wanted to read them all.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-09 12:09 am (UTC)Either that, or she was bored and a gifted mechanic. Perhaps the young woman had obsessive-compulsive tendencies? Looking at the articles, he has to wonder... ]
Why not put them in an album or something? A, whatsitcalled.... "scrapbook"? You could sort them and they'd be easier to page through that way. What if one of these—[ Setting the paper back down. ] —got lost under the couch, or you needed to dust?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-09 12:12 am (UTC)That's true. I'd always been used to having them up on my walls at home, though...but keeping them organized might be better.
[There's a pause.]
I don't believe I've introduced myself, either. I'm Kotomi Ichinose.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-09 12:37 am (UTC)Touma Kamijou. Nice to meet you, Ms. Ichinose. [ He steps over to that closet, to pull out the bike. Can he do it without knocking anything else over? Only one way to find out... ]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-09 12:45 am (UTC)Please, just Kotomi. I'm not fond of formalities. [There's a few hatboxes (with frilly 40s hats still in them) on top, but other that, the path is pretty clear. ...but this Touma we're talking about.]

Date: 2012-01-09 12:52 am (UTC)A-Ah...are you alright...? [She crouches down, trying to stuff the fallen boxes on a higher shelf.]
