Case 45: Turnabout Family

"So, um... looks like I'm living at 505 Ricardo Street now, I guess.  And Mayfield seems to think I'm an adult now.  I hope I don't have to get some boring office job.  Anyway, if anybody needs me, that's where I am now.  Oh yeah, and if anybody could help me move a TV across town, that'd be great too.  Let me know, okay?"

[Phone; filtered to Yamamoto]

"Give me a call back whenever you get this.  I didn't run out on you last night or anything.  It's gonna sound weird, but I'll explain."

[Phone; filtered to Theo]

"...I'll be over later to get the rest of my stuff."

((OOC: Also, Keiichi and/or Winry, if you still want to backtag the original 'Kay's in a new house' log, it's over here.))

Yeah, I'm used to hauling heavy, awkward stuff over long distances.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You're not gonna just carry the TV, are you? What if you slip on some ice?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Of course not! I meant to the car. Hell, even I'm not that stupid.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Okay, just making sure. It's over at my old place on Brady, so I'll meet you there.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, you used to bunk with Theo. I know where that is. When are you heading over, now?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Sure, now works. I already moved my smaller stuff earlier. The new house is on Ricardo Street.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll meetcha there then.

[derp derp at 337 Brady now waiting for Ken]

[He arrives with that standard 50's clunker. He hasn't bothered to get a new car because he got his bike back, but he knows he wouldn't be able to fit a TV on that thing. Not even with all his experience of fitting a million flowers onto one tiny pink scooter. ]

Kay! There you are!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[Kay jumps up from the front porch and waves.]

"Hey!"

[She sort of half-angles herself toward the inside of the house, pointing.]

"The TV's in the living room. I disconnected and boxed up the DVD player, too, so it'll be easy to move."

How big is the TV anyways?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Mmm, alright. Why don't you put the DVD player into the front seat and we'll take a look at the TV to see how we're gonna do this.

It's like a medium-sized flatscreen

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

We'll probably have to put it in the trunk. Maybe the back seat if it'll fit. I can just carry the DVD player box.

Like a 27" ?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that should work. That's the good thing about these old ass cars. They're built like fucken' boats and have the trunk to match.

Yeah, that'll work

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll help you carry it out. You want front or back?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I'll take the front. [He's trying to be a good helper and taking the harder part of having to walk backwards down the steps with this thing.]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[Ken is such a bro.]

"All right, then, lift on three! One... two... three!"

[And she lifts up her end of the TV.]

"You got it?"

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[He nods] Yup I'm good! Let's go. I left the car unlocked so we should be able to just put it in.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"Okay. I'll take it slow on my end."

[And off they plod toward the car~]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't have much trouble with this, because this thing is a lot easier to carry then large bags of potting soil. He does have to take it slow down the stairs though. Best to be safe then sorry in this case.]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"You still okay?"

[walkwalkwalk]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Just tell me when we're about to hit the [he backs into the car]

oof...car. [Don't worry, it was more a shock then a hard bump and the TV is ok.]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Whoops! Sorry!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

That's ok! I've had worse and we were going slow. Alright. Let's set 'er down so I can open up the doors.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"Okay. Easy..."

[She bends her knees, letting the TV down slowly.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[He sets his end down, and turns around to open up the trunk.]

Alright, I think it should fit laying flat in here.
