I received a lot of weird stuffs, I'm practically used to it. I'm sure another one wouldn't hurt.'
﹏﹏﹏
Later. . .
How did that song go again?
He looks at me....
and I look at him
And he looks at me
And I look at him--
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Pause.
Okay, we're missing a lot of context here, so let's rewind a bit to a few hours ago.
﹏﹏﹏
A few hours ago...
"Whew...finally done with the laundry." Odysseus grinned proudly as he hangs the last of the laundry, a comforter, under the sun.
Argos has been cleaned and so is the rest of the house, all of the morning chores are finally finished. He breathes a sigh of relief. Now time for lun--
He stops mid thought when he heard the doorbell suddenly ring.
"Ithica Delivery Service! Package for Mister Odysseus!"
Oh, shit, it's already here? "Yeah, coming!" He shouted back, quickly changing from his wet shirt to a dryer one and wipe off his hands with the used shirt. He makes his way to the front door and carefully twisted it open.
He was greeted with a mailwoman, standing there with a friendly smile on her face.
"Thank you for your hard work." Odysseus said with gratitude.
"Here's your package!" She exclaimed happily. Odysseus almost gawked by surprise when she casually placed down a box 5 times her size. It completely stamped with a lot of 'FRAGILE | Handle With Care' packages and cutesy notes that said 'From: Ctimene, To: Ody'
"Thank you so much for using our services!"
'The box is huge! '
"Damn it, Ctimene...You've been silent for months. What is it this time?"
﹏﹏﹏
"....An amphora? Huh?" Odysseus questioned confusedly after finally taking a good look at the content from the box.
The said pottery was rather large, with a wide frame and the length just above of his knees. And it was not an easy thing to lift up, that's for sure. Now he's more amazed by that mailwoman's strength.
It is coated with reddish-orange color with a black accent. But the center piece of it all is the painting depicting 12 people. Six on one side and another six on the other, with a temple at the center. Now, Ody is no expert, but he know enough those are probably the twelve major gods in Greek Myth.
Other than the amphora, there was also a letter in the box, which is in his hands right now.
"Alright, what does Ctimene say about this..." He flips the letter and read its content.
'Hello, my brother! I love you~!'
Odysseus fake gagged.
' Ew, that was cringe nvm. ANYWAY, how have you been? Penelope had probably mentioned, but I'm in Athens right now, and I saw this really cool antique amphora. I figured you have it. Think of it as an early gift from me >3•.
P. S. Tell Eury I say hello, I love you, I miss you. I'll be home real soon. I hope you love the gifts mwua mwua OXOXO ♡♡
....Odysseus shifted his gaze back at the amphora with a weary sweatdrop. Don't get him wrong, it's not it's ugly! Its actually clean and beautiful for an antique. Probably expensive too.
...but what is he going to do with it?
"I mean I could use it as a flower vase-"
Shake.. Shake...Shake...
"Huh?" He shot a glance back at the amphora with wide eyes. There's nothing in front of him except the antique, standing still on the floor, but...
"I could have sworn I saw it move..." He muttered, he stood there in contemplation for a few seconds before shaking his head." Maybe I'm just imagining thi--"
But just as he was about to turn around...
Shake... Shake.. Sha--
Odysseus's eyes shot wide when vase starts tilting to the side. "WOAH!!" Ody didn't hesitate to sprint back. The vase was almost a second from breaking before he barely managed to catch it. He could feel it vibrating in his arms and Odysseus was panicking.
Then it stops. But something unexpected happened.
He could hear it. A faint pitter patter echoing from within the vase. Growing loud and louder... then... Out of the corner of his eye, something popped out of the rim. It was...small and it's moving.
It starts looking around before crawling further out until it plummet to the floor with a 'squeak!' sound.
It's shape like a...miniature person? A doll? Even has a green shaggy hair and compliment clothes that looks to be like a toga.
Odysseus was too stun to speak. His eyes still wide and mouth hung open staring at this.. doll? Person? Creature?
But then it turned around and finally noticed him. He could have sworn it's beady eyes widened.
There was a cold silence.
"..... "
".... "
".... "
"WHAT THE FUCK?! "
And here were are now.
