Memories

[thebestnation]

[She'd been checking the mailbox, waiting to see if she got anything back from the town. When finally! It arrives!

It's opened quickly, maybe it was more comic books, or some other cool--her hand touches fabric, and for a moment she's puzzled. She'd gotten her favorite outfit back already, she had her scarf and blazer, what more would they send?

[Canada wanted to come by to drop off her birthday gift he got for her at the same time as America's, but due to Mayfield turning Soviet the next day, he never really had the chance to give her the comic books he got.

He just stands and watches as she tries to stuff the box into the mailbox.]

Um...Meriken...what are you doing?

[thebestnation]

[She stops what she's doing, and turns to look at him.]

What am I doing? Uh...nothing! I'm not doing anything! Just...sending some mail, yep.

[STEPS AWAY FROM THE MAILBOX. Which...means the box kind of falls out of it, but whatever.]

Right. Well, what are you doing here? Not that I don't mind you visiting, but you know. [Not many people visit nowadays. Derp derp.]

[mr_blandy_bland]

....Then why don't you just lean it up against the mail box instead of trying to make it fit?

Ah...well...I just though I would get you a gift to considering you're birthday was the 4th right? I'm really sorry for being late on giving it too you.

[He hands her wrapped box. She gets her wish and gets more comic books.]

[thebestnation]

Because I'll feel accomplished when it's smashed and crumpled.

[She grins at the mention of her birthday, and takes the box eagerly. Something that's not a dumb, colonial dress!]

Thanks! I didn't think you'd remember! [She didn't. Adian 'forgets' her birthday all the time.]

Can I open it now?

[numanstan]

[He watches her try to stuff the box back in the mailbox and grins.]

That doesn't work, y'know! I've tried it.

[thebestnation]

[Grumbling, BUT STILL TRYING TO SHOVE IT INTO THE MAILBOX.

It'll succeed eventually, really it will.]

Well, it doesn't hurt to try. I don't want the stupid thing. They should just give me a re-fund, or something better.

[numanstan]

It could, actually-- the box could knock y'back and y'could hit your head, or y'could get a paper cut, or somethin'...

[He moves closer, looking around her curiously.]

... What'd y'get back that's so awful?

[thebestnation]

Well I didn't mean it literally. [Humph.

And then an awkward pause.]

Oh. Well, you know. A dress.

[fuelefficient]

[watching]

Ah...what are you doing, Meriken-san?

[thebestnation]

Sending this stupid thing back!

[fuelefficient]

What is inside the box?

[thebestnation]

Oh. Well you see it's...a dress?

[tartswithtea]

((COMING FOR A VISIT because obviously Meriken needs to be checked up on every so often!

Except... what on earth.))

Dear, what are you up to?

[thebestnation]

[brb, dropping the package like a hot potato.]

Nothing. I'm just sending something back. They...sent the wrong hosiery, you know?

Yep. The wrong hosiery.

[tartswithtea]

Well, you're the one who said you can't mail things out, even if we wanted to. I would think you'd know better.

[thebestnation]

Well they send those adds, you know? So I ordered from one.

And they gave me the wrong stuff so. I'm sending it back.

[commie_island]

[Hey, it's your favorite Communist walking by]

....what the hell are you doing?

[thebestnation]

I'm sending this back.

[commie_island]

Why? What is it?

[thebestnation]

A dress and some bad memories.
