4th Magic Bullet

[Action; 2237 Stevens Road]

[Today after school, Yuna can be found planted squarely in front of the television set, impatiently flipping through the handful of channels available in Mayfield and apparently getting more and more frutsrated by the minute.  Finally, she flops backward onto the carpet, giving an exasperated yell.]

Geez!  What's with this stupid thing, anyway?

[Phone; unfiltered]

Doesn't this town get any home shopping network channels?  Did those even exist in America in the 1950s?  How am I supposed to order skin cream and energy drinks?

[There's the noise of some shuffling papers over the line.]

What about these mail order catalogues that keep showing up in the mail?  Can you actually send away for things, or is it impossible to send letters out of town like how you can't make a phone call out?  What happens if you try?

[Action; outside the Post Office]

[Yuna's standing outside the Post Office holding a letter addressed to somewhere in Japan as she counts through a handful of spare change.]

I wonder how much postage is to Japan...

[oh sup, weird girl. passing by the post office when he spots her]

I doubt it'll get that far. Or anywhere really for that matter, y'know.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

No harm in trying, though, right?

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

I guess. Kind of have to wonder if anybody's bothered before actually.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I'll find out in a few weeks, huh?

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

Just be careful of the postman. He's kind of weird.

[Daddy's home from work.]

What is wrong, Yuna?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

There's no home shopping channel!

[Dramatically flailing her arms and rolling back and forth while lying on the floor.]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I see. Well... there... there.

[he puts a hand on her shoulder and tries to comfort her. He is trying so hard.]

Perhaps I can buy whatever you like for you, the next time we go to the store?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

[Yuna sits up, hands on her knees and laughing a little.]

It's okay, you don't really have to. I just miss calling in and sending away for stuff. I guess I used to be kind of addicted to those sorts of shows back home.

Hm, hm. An excellent point. To maintain an image is an important matter . . .

I doubt your plan will succeed, though.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Can't hurt to try, though, don't you think?

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

Postage is expensive nowadays, I hear.

More to the point . . . There may not even be anything else outside the town.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

There's gotta be something out there! I mean, just a few weeks ago the highway went to other places!

Phone.

[tomatatas]

Skin creams? I can sell you those.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Really? What brands do you have?

[tomatatas]

American? [Yeah she only remember's European ones, oops...]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... probably no Nuru Nuru X, then, huh.

_{[ Just walking around town with her hands behind her head... Well, she can't ignore Yuna if she's right in front of her, can she? ]}

Yo.

Sending something?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Trying to, anyway. I'm not sure if it's gonna work.

[catpunches.livejournal.com]

Why not?

They get things to you, they get things away from you. Isn't that how a post office works?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you can't call anywhere outside Mayfield, so maybe the mail doesn't go anywhere either. I'm trying to send away for some stuff I saw in a mail order catalogue. I mean, why would we get those if we couldn't actually buy stuff out of it, right?

[Phone]

[aliensinyour.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it's been attempted, but I don't think you're gonna get any results.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what everyone keeps saying.

[aliensinyour.livejournal.com]

Then are you still gonna do it?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably.
