[Wednesday afternoon: action for housemates]
[Sometime in the mid-late afternoon, a delivery truck makes a stop at 337 Brady Lane, and a man comes up to the door carrying a moderately-sized package, unmarked in any way except by the name of its intended recipient. He knocks a few times, waiting for someone to come to the door. But, as Tlachtga is

[Have a Kay knockin' on your door after picking up the package~]

[hexbell]

[Kay might notice that the box is just slightly-heavy, and it sounds like the contents may be metal.

Also, not!mom is still half-asleep here, and it shows in her face when she opens the door.] ...Kay...what is it...?

[thief_of_truth]

"Sorry for waking you up, but this package came for you."

[Holds it out in front of her.]

"...Feels kinda heavy."

[She may or may not notice that Kay is in much worse spirits than usual, and isn't smiling at all.]

[hexbell]

[A delivery for her? That's sort of unexpected. She takes it and contemplates opening it immediately to see what it is, but...] Thank you, I will open it shortly.[...there are other things to be concerned with, at the same time.

Specifically, Kay's obvious change in mood isn't lost on her, and she has at least some idea of what the cause is.] I...see that something is bothering you...

[not_booberry]

[Since Kay already got the package, have your other not!daughter, Cthulhumom!

She has her face smashed into the crack between the door and the wall, peering into your room.]

Hey! Heyyy. Like, I think there was somethin' for you, earlier! It's gone missing, though, eh heh.

[hexbell]

[You could just...open the door and come all the way in, you know. Or forget that you're solid and walk face-first into it.]

Kay already brought it in for me... [She indicates an unopened box on the end-table.] Thank you for coming to notify me, though...

[not_booberry]

[Smush smush smush oh hey the door is opening a little bit SUCCESS!!]

Oh! That'd explain it! It'd be, eee hee hee hee-- it'd be pretty lame if boxes could disappear and I couldn't, right?

[Phantasma is nosing her way right over to that box. Curious, curious forever.]

So, what is it? Like, anything cool?

[hexbell]

I was just about to open it...

[The package is taped shut and she doesn't want to go to grab scissors or a knife, but this is what fingernails are for...so...tearing it open now and removing the contents.

And then she looks a bit surprised; the contents are basically a mess of chains and cord with a bell attached.]

..... My bell...
