And it begins
Across the country several an older man climbs out of a taxi. He checks a list and gets ready to go deliver a package. It was on this exact date the packages were to be delivered into the hands of each person. In one location though two men climb out of a car.

They look eerily similar with oddly blubus eyes but one is very short and portly. In each place almost at the same time they knock on a door.

They're here to deliver a package.

	"You've been watching me?" Dinadan demands, now even more worried than before and getting angry. There's a lot of secret identities that might be compromised if they have been, and he doesn't want that. "Who else is getting packages from this guy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh dear. That came out all wrong..."

"Do hush up my friend. We merely meant that we were ordered not to. Mr Carter wished for you to lead your life not knowing of this until it was time," the shorter rounder man spoke. "I'm sorry but we are not allowed to tell you more than this... You may know of some of them. But the last to join you will be unknown." He looks puzzled over that. "We are not sure what he meant by that. He may have included a letter in the package. I don't know how we may help with that because once you have opened it we can not take it back."

The glare subsides a bit, but Dinadan's still suspicious. The clarification could be a lie, after all. He glances down at the package again, and mentally calculated how long it would take him to get it to his dad's lab and under a fume hood or something.

"...Once I've opened it, you can't take it back, huh?" he muses. He's tempted to just refuse it out-right, the whole thing seems more than a little dubious. But if he doesn't take it, it might go to someone with less contacts in the cape- and magical worlds and just cause more problems. Fume hood and someone in the next room to go for help if anything hinky starts happening seems like the way to handle this.

And if he's honest, he's got to admit he's more than a little curious.

"...Anything else I should know?" he asks after a few moments' silence.

	"We can think of nothing else," the short one says speaking for both of them. The taller on has gone silent not wanting to upset Mr Palmer anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Okay, I'll take it." Fume hood, someone in the next room to go for help, gloves, goggles, face mask... Probably someone who knew about magic... Maybe Henry and his ring, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)
