A package

[ever_yanagi]

 Ah, Genichirou. Nee-san has sent us...a package.

Comments

[tarundoru]

Burn it.

[inui]

Perhaps we should test it for hexes.

[accioswallow]

Is that is what it sitting in our room?

[ever_yanagi]

She will know.

[ever_yanagi]

I have already done so. It was sent the muggle way, though.

[ever_yanagi]

Unfortunately. I do apologise for the inconvenience.

[tarundoru]

I still think she's magical and has hidden it from everyone.

[inui]

We could try some potions to see if it affected.

[accioswallow]

I am surprised by your apprehension. We could put it in a tiny jar?

[ever_yanagi]

That is a distinct possibility.

Would you like to come and investigate the contents with me?

[ever_yanagi]

If it damages the package Nee-san will be very cross.

[ever_yanagi]

You have not met my sister.

As tempting as that sounds, I do not believe that would solve the problem.

[tarundoru]

I think more digging is necessary.

After dinner tonight?

[inui]

Perhaps there are anti-potion charms on it. Therefore, it would be interesting to test.

[ever_yanagi]

I agree. I have begun some research in my free time, but so far have not turned up anything.

That would be a good time.

[ever_yanagi]

I haven't been able to detect any magic on it, but perhaps you would be able to give a second opinion.

[inui]

I'll find a melting potion and we can pour that on the package.

[tarundoru]

Are you sure you don't recall lengthy periods of time in which she was away?

I suggest you put up wards around everything, just in case.

[ever_yanagi]

I was very young then. I cannot recall.

I will do that.

[ever_yanagi]

As I said, if it destroys the package, my sister will be very cross.

[inui]

It can't be any worse than the various potion mishaps I've had.

[tarundoru]

Maybe I should ask my brother.

Good. Ward yourself as well.

[ever_yanagi]

Assuming he hasn't been sworn into silence?

That is a given. I will also make tea and attempt to restrain Sadaharu from blowing up the room.

[ever_yanagi]

...have you met my sister?

[tarundoru]

He's not that big of a pushover. I hope.

Perhaps let him attempt that before I get there.

(ooc: strikes deleted)

[inui]

Once, I think...

...Actually, I have no recollection of meeting any member of your family.

[ever_yanagi]

That is strange... did you not come over to play, when we were children?

[inui]

I thought I had, but when I tried to recall any instances, I came up blank.

[ever_yanagi]

That is strange. I distinctly remember meeting your own parents, and you must have come over at some point because I recall you leaving some test tubes behind...

[inui]

Maybe I've experienced memory loss due to either a potion, a potions accident, or a particularly well-executed Obliviate.

[ever_yanagi]

Good luck.

I will try to contain the damage.

[ever_yanagi]

This bears further investigation.

[tarundoru]

I will need it. I'll ask grandfather too.

That would be for the best.

[inui]

I'll send an owl to my mom. She usually remembers all of the various events, visits, etc.

[ever_yanagi]

I'm not sure how informative my own family will be, but I'll look all the same to find any discrepancies.

Actually, Sadaharu is a little distracted now so that will help.

[ever_yanagi]

Thank you. I shall be anticipating the results.

[tarundoru]

We have extensive records, but since I'm not home to look through them, I'll have to rely on their word.

Excellent. Keep him away from it unless you want him to have an extended stay in the infirmary.

[inui]

I'll also have her send me my notebooks from the time. Those are usually informative.

[accioswallow]

Perhaps I will have the chance at a family day.

A pity. I was looking for a good candidate.
