Kaguya Arrives Home! (Pic HEAVY!)
Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 1:52 pmIt was a lovely but hot Saturday this past weekend, and we had company. We were all standing around chatting when I heard the tiniest of knocks on the door. When I answered it I saw no one there, so I took a look outside...
...And look who I found hiding in the rosebushes!
With all that blue, trying to hide behind red is decidedly not very ninja.
"Hello!...Um...I was too short to reach the doorbell..."
I think I kind of snuck up on her.
She seemed very fascinated by the roses.
"So lovely..."
She looked a bit startled when she finally spotted me.
I'm not sure why this one won't rotate properly...x.x
She had this pretty red hope chest that she claimed her ride from the airport had carried to the door for her. She made jin bring it in.
Poor lil' fella; he hasn't even had his carpal tunnel surgery yet, but he could never say no to such a pretty face!
"Geeeruph!...Giant woman...Arrrrfph!...Should bring her own..Hurrrglblpf!...Things in..."
She giggled and told him he was 'precious', which made him zip it. She then sat down to rest on top of her chest and my book box with Mocha in her lap.
After looking around a bit and deciding she wanted my blue sword as her own, she then climbed on top of the Ningyo's case with Mocha in tow, which made Ningyo decidedly disgruntled. To which, she giggled.
"Hehe, hi! <3 Please pardon the grumpy little man below me..." (This one didn't rotate like it should, either...)
She and Mocha haven't let each other out of their respective sights much this weekend; I think it's adjustment to a new home jitters. She has taken to poking fun at Jin; She was pestering him the entire time he was resting after somehow managing to get her hope chest onto my desk...
"Ohh...my back..."
She seems to be adjusting well. Since she's the only 60cm here right now, she's definitely queen of the castle!
... ... ...
Okay, so here's what really happened:
It was incredibly hot on Saturday and our company had just arrived. Our roommate was out back, grilling, and my fiance and I were showing our guest around and getting him settled. At 5 past noon, the doorbell rang; my sweetie answered it and signed for this GIGUNDOUS box.
Labels blurred because they photographed incredibly, legibly well.
I had to wait an hour and a half to open her up and when I did, we still had company (whom actually stayed until three in the morning! XD). I just knew she was suffocating in there!
First layer of packing; if you purchase something from ZirconMermaid, know that it will come packed incredibly well!
Second layer of packing; lots of fun bubblewrap! ^^
It took me a while to get all the packing peanuts (called 'ghost turds' in my family) out and down to the bubblewrap. By the time I had scooped them out, they filled a grocery bag!
Another label; Zircon is thorough in making sure the right lil' person goes to the right place!
The next few will be a little wonky; did the best I could manning the camera with the box on my lap! My fiance was busy entertaining our guest and couldn't help.
I unwrapped the bubblewrap and was surprised by the size and weight of her box. It's very lovely! ^^
I then proceeded to open it up and found her to be VERY well wrapped.
"Help! We're suffocating in here! And I think Pocky is melting onto my bum..."
I took the bubblewrap off and just had to go 'aww'; Zircon had packed her, clutching mocha, and it was just too cute.
"Hi there! Can we come out now?"
Then I set her atop the Ningyo's case so we could take a look at her goodies.
^^
Kimono, obi, book, stand and leg parts, as well as gray cushion.
Before she was completely unpacked; Had to get a shot of those cute little snacks!
I then put her box together and placed all her extras in a pretty red Japanese box I have, save for Mocha, her stand and Shirahime, which I read early the next morning. It's very sad but the artwork is stunning. Leave it to CLAMP, amIrite?
Taking a break on my desk and surrounded by good company, though many of them are not in the shot.
Again, this one didn't rotate. x.x
Thanks again Zircon; she's adored! ^^ Even my roommates like her!
*Edit* I also wanted to mention that I love how her lip color matches the roses! ^^
