[ If you awaken early this morning, all will be peaceful save for your hearing a slight rummaging outside your residence. Should you investigate, you may find one (1) Death the Kid affixing a second door handle on your entranceway, so it looks something like this. It seems that something has set his OCD off today, so while he'll be quite polite and

[So somebody happened to be home for once. He moved to the door with a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth, then opened it in an unintrusive way.]

Well, it's interesting...

[Brush, brush, tooth brushing brush]

I'll gibe ya thabt.

[veeno]

Ah, yeah. Growing up's tough.

[Claire sort of reclines, looks at Kid's new addition to the door.]

You gotta put up with your weaknesses at their worst the whole time. They'll go away, those shortcomings, don't worry for a moment.

[grimreaping]

I'm not worried about it.

[ not as far as function goes; style is another issue entirely ]

[veeno]

Well, good!

Suppose you don't want me to pay ya, right?

[grimreaping]

[ he stops and blinks, having never been asked anything like that before ]

No, that's not necessary.

[veeno]

Well, suit yourself.

[He gets up again, heading back inside and presumably taking care of the rest of his morning activities. It doesn't take him nearly as long as it should have to come back out dressed in his day clothes.]

How's the house? Hope it wasn't too inconvenient for you.

[grimreaping]

[ Kid frowns, having finished up and was just wiping his hands on a cloth. ]

It was, actually. Greatly.

But I don't think it'd be very wise for you to visit again.

[veeno]

Whoops, too late. You shoulda told me that sooner, I went back a second time that night. I didn't wake you, I take it?

[grimreaping]

I meant going forward from that. I'm aware you came back, and you didn't wake me because I wasn't asleep.

[ work finished, he's ready to move onto the next door ]

[veeno]

Ah, whoops again. Shoulda figured that.

[He did, but he likes clarity. He figures Kid could relate to that.]

Suppose you'll be going?

[grimreaping]

Yes, I have a number of other houses to take care of.

[veeno]

Well, I guess I'll say thanks. I mean it, it'll give me somethin' to talk about with my roommates. You probably brought a lotta people together in some strange little way today.

[grimreaping]

You're welcome, I guess.
