delivery - during ojisan vacation

[glossophobia]

[ Wherever Rei might be hiding away, he will have a sudden pipe fox visitor as Rosho's familiar appears with what seems to be a rolled up paper tucked into a ribbon tied around its neck. The little creature will chitter and paw at him until he decides to grab the paper which happens to be a letter, and it will read the following: ]

I had an accident with my phone and its broken. (This is why I'm writing you a letter.) I was hoping you could do me a favor and try to fix it since you're so good with technology. If you can take care of it please write back to me so I can know and I can send the parts to you.

You haven't come to visit and I'm not sure why. When I try to talk to Sasara about it he won't give me an answer. I don't know if he knows something and just won't tell me or if he's as clueless as I am. It's hard to tell with him.

I won't bother you, I just hope you're okay.

From, Rosho

[Ah... so he broke his phone, huh. Rei smiles faintly, absentmindedly scritching the pipe fox with one hand as he reads. Knowing Rosho, what are the chances it's snapped totally in half?

Still... ]

I won't always be around to bail you out, you know.

[He may not be around for much longer at all, if Sasara really can't take it.

Even so, Rei will find a little box to hitch around the fox's neck-- he's got plenty, lying around his only-half-lived-in apartment-- to collect the parts, and a handwritten note in reply.]

You'll owe me.

[ Archimedes will linger for just a little while, tail wagging, before it wobbles to stay on its legs with the new delivery its intended to carry.

The next day, it's not one but two pipe foxes huddled together as one helps the other bring the box to Rei, this time with the broken contents of Rosho's phone. Just as he predicted, it's busted in two perfect pieces. It's the best thing he could do to protect himself from being cursed, okay?! Along with it comes another note, smaller and with a briefer message: ]

As long as your request isn't dangerous then I promise I owe you.

Thank you.

[IT'S IN TWO PIECES??????!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DID HE DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ON EARTH DOES HE THINK REI CAN DO TO FIX THIS??????????? Rei buys him a new one on the spot (matching the make and model, of course, so Rosho won't notice), and gets to work rescuing the data from the old one's remains.

....Then Rei recovers Iris and she tells him just what, exactly, made Rosho hulk out, and he fully loses it.

Worth it. Everything was worth it.]
