Our Lady of Fandom Church; Thursday [ 02/24 ].

Timing had been an interesting factor in Chrono's return to the island, and now he was realizing that there was another benefit in his timing: the students and faculty were off on their trip, and so the entirely place was quiet and free of the threat of more random punches to the face. That meant Chrono could get a lot of work done and, by Thursday he stood in center of the church, looking around at all the cleaning he had been doing, and allowed himself a faint smile of satisfaction at his work.

Of course, a few minutes later, he'd notice the quiet, and the silence would start to wrack uneasily on his spine, and he sucked in a breath.

He picked up a bucket. Time to wash the windows. Again.

Being immortal was so incredibly exhausting.

[[ open church is open, naaaatch! ]]

Perhaps it was because there was really not that many people on the island. Perhaps it was because K found that he actually had some business to attend to here at the Lady of Fandom. Perhaps it was because he was getting tired of the alien postal worker trying to impersonate a tumbleweed.

Whatever the reason, the man in the black suit and sunglasses was looking for something to do. Turns out today was Chrono's turn for a visit.

"Excuse me, young man," K said as he entered into the church. "Are you the current proprietor of this religious establishment?"

If the stretching of the wings distracted K in any fashion, he certainly didn't show it. In fact he seemed almost blase about Chrono's appearance in general.

"Well then," K said as he pulled off his sunglasses. "Then how would currently describe your position here."

K glanced around a moment or two and replied to Chrono's statement with a simple "I see."

Reaching into his coat he then pulled out a series of forms. "In that case welcome to the island. As a duly appointed member of the United States Postal Service I'm here to provide you with the proper change of address forms in order to facilitate the proper transition to your new residence."

"Change of address forms are required by law to be filled out by new residents within thirty days of arrival to their new domicile," K said putting on his sunglasses again. "Failure to do will result in a fine and the delay of mail correspondence and possibly jail time."

Yeah, he might be making some of that up.

"No doubt the last postal inspector was more lenient than I," K said replied dryly. "Not on my watch, slick."

"A simple description of your place of origin will suffice," K replied with... was that a smirk? Nah. Couldn't be. "Or at least a five digit zip code."

K wasn't one for those four additional numbers at the end. Never believed it made the mail easier to deliver. Nope.

"Pandemonium," K said as he looked at the form briefly. "It sounds... lovely."

It was obvious that he really didn't sound like Pandemonium sounded lovely at all. "Very well," he said stuffing the paperwork back in his inner pocket of his suit coat. "The postal service thanks you for your cooperation and hopes you have a pleasant afternoon and evening."

"Indeed I do," K replied. "In fact your postman is a person in your neighborhood that you can meet each day."

Hey. That could be a song.

"Mannheim," K said busting out his id badge to flash in Chrono's direction. "Special Agent Mannheim. Postal Inspection Service. Division six."

"There's no time for funny business when it comes to the mail, slick," K said seriously. "Sure it's all fun and games at first. Friendly neighbors sending postcards to each other during the summer holiday. The occasional birthday card. Then comes the Christmas catalog season. Then Christmas. Then it's tax season and if you don't learn how to deal with the mail then you have no business being there at all."

Chrono might want to check. There probably was a post office in hell.

At least for the people who deserve to work there in the afterlife.

K smirked and gave Chrono a small salute with his index finger before turning and heading for the door. "Have a nice date Caretaker Chrono."
