[Action]
[Waking up and realizing you can't see is bothersome enough. Calling your best friend for help and getting no response? ... well, only slightly more bothersome, really. She knows Ribbons won't be unreachable for long, and then he can roped into helping with the evening route. But the morning tasks must NOT be put off, so she must call someone else.]

[Until she can decide just who to call, she manages the easy jobs: dressing herself, unlocking the office door, and feeding Castell.]

[Now to find her way back to her desk and sit down...]

((OOC: Ryoji has already been volunteered to help her, but you're welcome to come by if you have early morning business with PM~ or just want to watch her walk into walls.))

	promoted_pawn 2010-12-01 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Yes, please! In fact, I was trying to decide on who to call. [No harm in turning down help when it's right here! She walks around to the other side of the desk, pulling out a set of keys and a box of envelopes.] You'll need to be deputized. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevermeant 2010-12-01 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Deputised? Is that like, sodomised? Because--] [Sees the keys and box of envelopes and decides that no, it's probably nothing like that.] Okay, let's do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2010-12-01 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	A box of envelopes isn't as official as I'd like, but this IS an emergency! [PM dangles the keyring from one of her finger-claws and holds up that hand in an official manner, the other holding the box out in Ryoji's general direction. With a ceremonious clearing her throat, she assumes a Very Official Voice.] Please place your right hand on the box! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Nodding in satisfaction.] Please repeat after me.

I, Ryoji-... your last name here, do hereby swear to fulfill my duty as depute Parcel Meister of the Marina Asylum Postal Service. I will hereby act in the interest of preserving privacy, upholding free communication, and the maintenance of civilization.

And neither snow nor rain nor monsters nor gloom of night shall stay me from my appointed rounds. [A little modified and abbreviated from her own oath, but hey, she's pretty proud of coming up with it on the spot.]

	[Complete mood shift is GO as PM swells with pride. He may only be temporary, but it's okay! He's one of hers, now.] Postman Mochizuki, I present to you the keys to the post office and apartment boxes! Also, you may wear the hat.

	[Accepting the keys! This is so cool. Does a bit of a double take at the second part, though. The hat could mess up his hair!] [But -- she's looking so proud.] I would be honoured to wear the hat, Mendicant-san. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

TBH, it might be love at first sight for PM

Wonderful! For your first task, we are going to take a walk through the occupied residential areas to check for incoming mail. This is quicker than it sounds, as I already have a map!

[She returns to the other side of the desk, pawing around until she produces a stack of papers. Some of them are just letters and photocopies of passages from books (mostly about human culture and the history of mail), but there IS a folded up map somewhere in that pile.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... so, so tempting. nevermeant 2010-12-02 05:58 am UTC (link)
	[He follows, watching her wade through the pile of papers for a few moments before reaching over, gently so as not to startle her, and giving the map a small tug.] I think this is it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	XD promoted_pawn 2010-12-02 06:21 am UTC (link)
	Oh! Excellent. [She lets him take it, putting the rest back into the drawer. Kind of sideways, but she doesn't exactly make a huge effort to close it, either.] [Because now she's scooping up the mailbag and holding it out to him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevermeant 2010-12-02 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	[He quietly straightens up the drawer, pushing the papers back in neatly and then closing it properly. Takes the mailbag from her! It's heavy with importance!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2010-12-02 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	[It's also heavy because there's a kitchen knife inside.] Would you like me to come with you? You'll have to lead me around by the arm or hand... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevermeant 2010-12-02 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it'd be more fun with the two of us. [Offers his arm! But then he realises you can't see it and sets about linking their own arms, gently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2010-12-02 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	That's the spirit! [She holds onto his arm gently, glad for the anchoring presence. Much as she refuses to let this get to her, it IS unnerving to not be able to see.] Be sure to lock the door after both of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Handwave the rest of it? nevermeant 2010-12-02 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	[He doesn't mind being held onto, especially now that she's in a better mood. Leads her outside, taking care to turn off the lights and lock the door like she said.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure~ promoted_pawn 2010-12-02 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Onward we go! [Walking might be a tad awkward at first, until PM finds a good pace. Even if she trusts Ryoji, she instinctively doesn't want to move with too much certainty, lest she stub a toe or trip. But she eventually does find some confidence somewhere, so it should end up going reasonably smooth~] (Reply to this) (Parent)
