Log:




It shouldn't be any surprise that, like the years before, Lust makes sure the house has plenty of holiday candy. Including some of that new holiday-themed candy imported all the way from wherever the hell it was. How could she not pick up plenty? Half the point of the holiday, as far as she's concerned, is the sweets. And near everyone in the house loved their sweets.

This isn't even the big candy haul, that comes tomorrow, when she and Henry descend upon the grocers and department stores in a tactical pattern, covering the whole city's post-holiday sales. But she's set out truffles and cookies and things such as that in little red and pink bowls, because it is the holiday proper. Of course, as always, everyone in the house is welcome to help themselves.

Lust already has been, as she makes an effort to tidy up the kitchen for the day, dipping into whatever is closest at hand.

Including the seemingly innocent candy shipped in from the Cerulean Cape.

"They're not mine. I think the belong to Envy and Lust....Heather said they were. Maybe try asking for it back?"

Sorry he's still fairly new to living in the house.

"I'll be right back with a towel."

[toothaches]

"I think...I know those names," Maurice mumbles half to Harry and Half to himself. Most of his attention is on shivering and silently hoping the sharks don't eat his hat. If he finds Harley, he's not getting desert for a MONTH! What a bad goat!

He squats by the water's edge.

"Heeeey, sharks. Sharky sharky. C'mere."

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Harry comes back with two thankfully, dry towels a few minutes later.

"Having any luck?"

[toothaches]

When Harry returns, the sharks are laughing to one another, tossing the hat between themselves. Maurice just crouches there with his hands on his knees and a look of defeat on his face.

"Ah'm afraid not...maybe when whoever they belong to gets home, ya'll could mail it to me?"

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

"I can do that. Sorry about this."

He passes him the towels.

"What's your name and where should we mail the hat to?"

[toothaches]

Maurice stands and accepts them. He drapes one over his shoulders but quickly goes to work ruffling his hair with the other. When he finishes, he looks like he jammed a finger into a light socket but that just means he did it right.

"Naw, naw, it's my fault. Don't worry about it." He starts to wipe down his shoes. "I'm Maurice. I should be in Ekruteak b'fore long. Hah, I guess since I kinda crashed yall's pool, I ought to ask your name."

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

He nods.

"Harry Mason. Good to meet you Maurice. Can I ask what happened, that made you crash?"

[toothaches]

"Same! Same!" He offers a now-dry hand. "Gosh, we were just--me and my Gogoat were out for a ride when he saw this flock of birds and just TOOK OFF! He's never done nothin' like this before! I don't know what to do when I find 'em, take him to the doctor or wring his neck!"

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Harry will shake his hand. He chuckles.

"I'd suggest the doctor route if you think something's wrong. He's not the sort to just pull a prank on you?"

[toothaches]

"No, sir! He's the most level-headed of the bunch I've got! It's so weird." Maurice scuffs a boot against the poolside as he looks in the direction that Harley went. "D'you think it'd be a problem if I hung around here for a few minutes and see if he comes back?"

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

"Just Harry is fine and no I don't mind."

Harry glances up to the sky as well.

"Strange, but hopefully there's an explanation. I'm still fairly new to living here but I think I have the lay of the kitchen by now. Do you want a drink of tea or coffee while you wait?"
