6th Meal Served [To the Phone!]

[yuzuru_no_mai]

I am afraid I do not understand this. I received a booklet in the mail regarding boxtops from a cereal company. I have never had cereal before. What is it? And why are they giving away prizes for collecting?

[OOC: Her prizes are:

10 boxtops - Barrettes
20 boxtops - A set of throwing feathers
50 boxtops - A new shopping basket
200 boxtops - 3 months of free pastries
500 boxtops - Her Hourin Ousai Butterfly Swords
1000 boxtops - A GROCERY SHOPPING SPREE!]

You really have a lot to learn.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I know... I know...

But can you tell me what cereal is?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Cereal is...grains and wheat made crunchy so you can eat it in milk.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh. I didn't know you could eat grains like that. I don't drink much milk, either.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't know when it was invented but cereal has been around all my life.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

And it's for breakfast? That's what the booklet claims.

I'm more used to eating fish and rice for breakfast. With plenty of fresh fruit!

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

When I have time in the morning at home, I'll eat that. Mostly, I'm running late for school so I have to grab bread at a store or just skip breakfast altogether.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

But breakfast is very important! You shouldn't skip it.

Still, these boxtops...

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Everyone says that but I don't usually have problems?

What about them?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Is it true if you send enough, you get items?

Ron said not to trust them.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I'm trying it to find out so I'll let you know when I do?

[which the answer would be oh god excruciating pain]

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

((Shiki noooooooo ;; ))

Okay. If I get any tops, I'll give them to you. That is, if Orihara-san doesn't need them.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

No, no. Save them for yourself. I only needed ten so I have plenty.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

All right. Good luck. I hope you get a good prize for them.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Hopefully everything turns out well.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Don't listen to a word of it! It's all spy rubbish!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Spy? What do you mean?

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

This whole damn town! Back in my day if a man wanted to take your eye he'd walk up to you and pluck it right out! None of this tricky horse shit!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Take your eye... what?

I'm afraid I still do not understand. Are people losing eyes, too?

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Not yet... BUT MARK MY WORDS, SOMEONE'S GONNA LOSE AN EYE. And it is NOT going to be me. Or you. OR ANY of my team!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

You're so kind, Ron...

Your team?

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

It's not kindness! Kindness is for women and children! For men, it's PRIDE! What kind of man could I be if I let any harm come to the things I care about! I would be a worthless, gutless, sad excuse for A MAGGOT is what I'd be!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She blinks on the other side of the line*

Ron... You care about me?

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

You're damn right I do.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She's still surprised by how many people care for her. Poor maid is overwhelmed!*

The offer did seem a little too good... I won't collect the tops, then.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Good! God have mercy on the soul of the person that tries to take advantage of anyone I give a damn about.

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

Cereal is a Western breakfast food.

But this is probably a trick by the town.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

That's what Shiki said. I don't know if we even have any in the house.

It does sound a little strange.

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

Well there is some at the food shop.

A little?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Yes. Winning items by eating so much food? I will never understand this time period.

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

I think it's best to think of it as an incentive for people to buy things.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes a little sense. Still, we don't eat that much cereal. I wouldn't want all of it to go to waste.
