Mr. Monk and the Need for CR

[mr_panophobic]

[So, as per his daily routine, Mr. Monk is going to take his walk through town, counting off, if not fence posts he's ticking under his fingers, his own steps out loud as he goes.]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

[He is making sure to take precisely two steps on each square of concrete at the sidewalks, and when he comes across a mailbox or a flag

*and there's a rabbit girl giving Monk a weird look as he adjusts the mailbox of 1252 Williams Road*

... um, what are you doing?

[mr_panophobic]

[We're just going to assume that's a fancy hair ornament!]

Making sure it's even!

[stop_it_tewi]

*there's no band that would indicate it's just an ornament... did one of those ears twitch a bit?*

Oh... thank you?

Wait, you weren't taking any of my mail, were you? ... was there even any mail, now that I think about it?

[mr_panophobic]

[Monk is going to very steadfastly stick with his assumption. It's his way to stay sane around here, you see. Sane for him, anyway.]

No. [There is mail in the slot. You will find it is now alphabetized and organized by size, color, and envelope type. :^|b]

Wait, do we even get mail aside from the boxes for regains?

[stop_it_tewi]

*look, the other ear twitched now, too!*

... you're kind of suspicious...

I didn't even think about if we did or not. :^o

[mr_panophobic]

I am?

Oh well. Permission to pull Monk into some kind of CQC-esque hold? XD

[stop_it_tewi]

*Reisen starts to step in closer*

People just don't walk up to other people's property and adjust their things, unless...

Go right ahead! I don't mind! :D

[mr_panophobic]

[He takes a step back because ohgod SPAAAAACE!]

Unless what?

Yay \o/

[stop_it_tewi]

*Reisen suddenly steps in, grabbing his arm and coming around behind him to pin it against his back. The next instant, her arm is wrapped around his throat (not enough to choke him(yet?))*

Unless you're a thief, or you have some kind of plans for the residents of this household.

*she's carefully checking you for weapons and stolen things, now... poor Monk*

:^>b

[mr_panophobic]

[lkhlgfkjh LEGGO! LEGGO! Arm aside; GEEEEERMS!]

What are you doing?! I'm just making sure everything's even!

[stop_it_tewi]

*after a quick check, it soon becomes obvious that Monk is clean. During the process, one of Reisen's ears brushes across his face, and it certainly feels a little too... warm and alive to just be a hair ornament*

*she soon releases Monk*

I-I'm sorry, it's just... you're kind of weird.

I-I'm just kind of a bit paranoid... I thought you might be one of the psychopaths around here.

[mr_panophobic]

[STAUNCHLY. Refusing. To. Admit. They're. Real.]

I-I get that a lot. I do. But I just wanted everything to be even.

[stop_it_tewi]

*ear twitches again just because!*

O-oh... no offense, but, do you have some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder?

Master might have something for that... at least, back home she would have...

[mr_panophobic]

[He twitches, but.... he nods. Everyone says it. It's the only real explanation he can give without having to go into detail about how the entirely world is wrong in some way and how important it is to keep it all in order.]

[stop_it_tewi]

Ah...

... I-I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself. *Reisen bows politely* I'm Reisen Udongein Inaba.
