At room 147

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

Kiki pauses outside the room of equalsmcsquared. She looks around the hall, thinking maybe it's too early in the morning to bother the biology professor, then slowly reaches up and knocks softly. In the other hand, she's holding a single peach rose in the other hand.

Jiji is pacing at her feet restlessly.

*opens the door*

Can I help you?

Kiki gives a quick curtsey. It's a little stiff; she's got a couple of bruises.

"Um...Professor Sidle? This might just be nothing, but...I got this rose Friday morning, with no note attached. At first I thought it might be from a secret admirer, but bunch of other students got a rose, too. With all the disappearances around here, I thought it was strange enough to let someone know. Do you have a way of knowing where the roses are coming from?"

She shudders.

"I hope it's not that creepy toothy guy that lives down the hall from me..."

All the flowers that have been delivered are from Jack's Rose Shoppe. I've been receiving anonymous bouquets myself.

If you would like, I could see if there is anything distinctive about this rose that could help us identify the giver. *a reassuring smile*

"Oh, thank you, ma'am! I heard that you might be able to do that. I mean, it could be nothing but... if it were truly innocent, then why wouldn't the person put their name?"

*Shrugs lightly, taking the rose with a pair of tweezers* Whoever sent it might have simply wanted to be anonymous. I received a book yesterday with a card that simply said happy birthday. It's not that uncommon.

*Does a series of quick tests on the rose then shakes her head* Just a typical specimen of Rosa multiflora. No fibers, no skin cells, nothing of the sort. If you're truly worried, don't keep it. Otherwise I really can't tell you much more about this.

"Hmm. Okay. Well, thank you for trying, Professor Sidle. I'm sorry to have bothered you so early."

Kiki waves good-bye over her shoulder as she leaves, with the rose.

Just a note from the sender of the peach roses:

They are perfectly ordinary roses. I'm just shy.

They were going to be white. But then I remembered Kiki has a thing about white, and I decided on peach. The Non-relationship Rose color of choice.
