Why is the rum gone?

Who: Lily and Open
Where: The kitchen
When: At around 10:30am

Today's breakfast had been a bit crap. Or a lot if you were the kind of person who had sweetened tea (with cream) and jam on toast for breakfast and found out that you were out of tea, sugar, honey and jam. All in the same day. Lily had ended up having a bowl of cereal instead, but it just wasn't the same. Not only was she used to the kick of caffeine black or green tea gave her in the morning, it made her feel that little bit less at home. As if she wasn't feeling that difference already, despite her not feeling that brilliant at home either.

Coming back to her room she had gone for her stash of Jaffa Cakes - only to find them gone too. All fifteen boxes that still remained. Either there was a shy and socially awkward housemate with a sweet tooth who wasn't interested in asking for things instead like a normal person, or there was a thief. She had already noticed a lipstick and a headband missing the day before, and this only made her feel more insecure.

A quick post on the blog/intranet messaging service thing later Lily was back downstairs sitting at the kitchen staring at the kettle with a forlorn look in her face. She wasn't even properly awake yet. There were thoughts in her head but they weren't really forming right - which was why she was sitting there staring at an appliance in the first place.
