Curiosity killed the cat
Who: Tanya and Lily
What: Tanya is bored. She decides to find something to do.
Where: 605
When: July 27, evening.
Warnings: As of now? Nope.
Notes: This is where I would say something if I knew there was something to say.
Life was settled, the routine was functioning and all was well. Quite frankly, it was boring. Boring never sat well with Tanya. It made her itch. It made her twitch. How very Dr. Seuss of her, right? Too bad it didn't come with a moral attached to it. Boring would be a much more welcome visitor if it offered homespun advice with colorful characters.
Alas, this was the real world, and such things did not happen. No, in the real world a person is left to their own devices to sort out a way to deal with the unwelcome visitor called boredom. Not dealing with it was not an option. It would linger like the stench of burnt popcorn if you didn't do something about it. But what was there to do? It was an odd hour, she didn't feel like going too far. She didn't feel like putting all that effort into booting boring from her apartment. So what to do?
Perhaps it was time to go visiting the neighbors. Most of them appeared either uncultured or stupid. It was a sad lot she had fallen in with. Her next door neighbor...Lily, that was her name. She appeared to have some knowledge of how to handle oneself in public. Perhaps she'd visit her to see what went on on the other side of that wall they shared. She'd need a reason though. She wasn't the type to just drop by for a friendly visit. It wasn't her style.
Malt vinegar. She could knock and ask for malt vinegar. She'd find a use for it down the road, and it wasn't as cliched as asking for sugar.
With a glance in the mirror and a touch up here and there, she made herself presentable. She grabbed a measuring cup and her keys and left her apartment and headed next door. She rapped at the door with her knuckles, waiting patiently to see if her venture was going to pay off.
