Photo Hut, Tuesday

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack opened up the Photo Hut late today, since it had taken him over an hour to finally get there. He was not happy.

He was, however, greeted by a small lizard with a blue tongue...just hanging around the shop.

"Are you following me?" Jack asked the lizard. The lizard gave him A Look that implied both the fact that the lizard could not talk and the fact that the skink made it there before Jack did.

Photo Hut was open.

Momoko had removed the bubble wrap from most of her things and decided to take the plastic to the cabin trash bins. As soon as she stepped into the hall outside of her alcove, she found herself in town. Again.

"Again?! No way! This has to be an evil plot." She glowered at the building as if maybe it was at fault.

"Um. Hi?" He waved a hand, that was covered in bubblewrap. Intentionally, because he had to keep debubblewrapping the doorknob...and bubblewrap was just fun to pop.

"Hi." Momoko moved to stand in front of the boy and blinked. "Uhm, your hand is bubblewrapped, did you know? I mean, not that everything else today isn't as far as I can tell, but I haven't heard of any people being wrapped up."

She shifted the pile of bubblewrap in her hands. "Do you have a trashcan I can throw this in?"


[sorry, a friend came into town for a convention and we went out yesterday]

"Uh, sure, it's right behind the counter here," he said, darting around to pick it up. It... was bubblewrapped. Jack nearly facepalmed.

[np!]

Okay, that made her laugh. Which brought back a slighter version of the headache she'd started the morning with, but oh well.

"I wonder why this is happening. Do you think that the Post Office is suddenly missing all of their bubblewrap? Like how I am suddenly finding myself walking in places I don't intend to be walking, do you think that the bubblewrap is suddenly disappearing from there and showing up here? On all our stuff?"

Jack looked at all the cameras. "I don't want to even think about what would happen if all the bubblewrap disappeared somewhere. Just think of the cameras! Or other packages." Jack was boggled. And laughing a bit back.

[heromaniac]

"That's true. It would be hard to pack things if it all disappeared for real. I didn't think of that." Momoko frowned and tilted her head to consider it all.

"Maybe this is a plot by some villain after all. Trying to stop people from sending packages by using up all of the bubblewrap and then when we're tired from unwrapping everything they attack and we can't send for help because the post office is busy trying to figure out how to wrap things in stuff that's not bubblewrap?"

"A person would have to be crazy to think of that," Jack stated, putting his hands on his hips, thinking about it. "And this place is full of crazy. Do you think he's here? Already? And no one knows who he is?"

He tapped his foot. "We need to come up with a plan before it's too late and we can't signal for help."
