[947 Beulah St.]

[It seems that Rin has received a couple of packages for her trouble. Having taken them into the living room, she opens the first one to find four costumes folded up. She takes them out one by one, regarding the first two with approval. There is a Santa costume, which makes her grin - she totally called that one. But this final one is a bit strange. She holds up the armor that seems to have come from a video game.]

Eh, what am I supposed to do with this? ♪

[...it's kinda cool though. She's tempted to go and model it, but instead, she'll open up the second package. A pair of winged glasses materialize over her eyes. The world statics and pixelates in her vision, but that's only the beginning. Try as she might, can't take them off. Frustrated, she starts messing with her hair.]

Ahhh, why?! I'm supposed to be done seeing false images! ♪

[and now that she looks at the box, she can't tell what the rest of the things in it are. They are a black-gray blur... she's just going to assume that they are the weapons from the same PV, The Cursed Glasses. But then, it could also be a monster.]

Damn it--

[she takes the risk and reaches inside. Gripping something metallic, she stands up and holds it in both of her hands with a big sigh of relief.

So now there's Rin holding a big-ass rifle in the living room, and if you're just entering, she'll probably point it at you, since she can't see clearly. What do, housemates?]

[Later; Library]

[Rin has at least ditched the weaponry, but now she's wearing the outfit that came with the glasses, and they still won't come off. At a loss, she drags her grumpy, scantily-clad butt to the library - because that's what she did in the song, right? Of course, she wanders around bumping into things, and when she finally locates the bookshelves and cracks open a book, she can't read shit.

...It's not that she didn't expect this, but she still groans loudly.]

This is hopeless. ♪

Uwa! ♪

[she's startled. The mess of pixels her sight is in didn't exactly alert her to which things in the library are actually people. Russia currently looks like a big tannish blob. She smiles awkwardly.]

E-Ehe. It's kinda hard to explain. ♪

Do you need help?

[She looks familiar, though he cannot place her right away.]

[Unfortunately, she can't recognize him yet either. But Rin's slightly robotic voice tones should give her away, if nothing else.]

Aah... Thanks, but I'm not sure you can help. Not unless you know a lot about curses or old video games, anyway... ♪

I know a lot about curses.

[Though he is usually the one to curse others, and undoing them is nothing that he has ever bothered with.]

... Really!?

Then how do you get rid of a curse that makes something stick to your face? ♪

Usually, you kill the person who caused it.

Awwww....

[depressed, she sinks into a chair.]

But that's Gakupo, he's not even in Mayfield. ♪

I wonder if killing the postman would count...

Maybe that person's drone would work.

[because killing the postman seems to be rather hard.]

[it does, doesn't it...]

Hmm... well, I can hope. Have you seen any drone men with really long, purple hair? ♪

I saw one last week, but I am not sure where he lives.

[In a town where everyone has children in school, and of course all the drone parents attend all the school events because that is what good parents do... If you work at the school, every drone ever will come across you every once in a while.]

But if I can find him, then all I have to do is hit him with the roadroller! ♪

[Driving while vision impaired, BRILLIANT]

Or with a huge knife.

[That sounds a lot more like it would get her the desired outcome.]

I bet that'd get blood all over me though. I'd rather clean it off a wheel than my clothes. Gross. ♪

You could create a spear by tying the knife to a broomstick.

A spear, huh... ♪

[she is considering this.]

I can lend you a broomstick if you clean it and give it back later.
