[ Whenever it is all and sundry are out and about, at least one will surely come upon a (rather large) wooden box placed neatly upon their doorstep. It is covered in such a way that it keeps in the warmth and keeps out prying eyes, but it is not wrapped in any particular fashion. What it is, however?
Well: it is smart and dark in coloration. Peering over the lip (and thus into) the box will indicate that the cover is acrylic. It slides back, it would seem, from very neatly polished runners that it slips into toward the bottom. The contents are (for the moment) covered with a thin sheet of parchment paper, but the nose should be more-or-less immediately greeted with a lovely barrage of scents. Whatever is contained within is sugary, sweet, but somehow a touch tangy and zesty too. As for why that is? A peeling back of the paper will reveal neatly packaged and divided... Donuts? No, they look a little more specialized.
A card tucked near the back (with precisely typed ingredients and nothing else - such as a sender) will reveal that they are actually sufganiyot. A kind of powdered donut, it would seem, that is filled with a variety of jams and/or jellies. Some are date, some are strawberry. Some, too, are apricot or orange. There may be even a blueberry and grape one mixed in there for additional variety.
(It is easy enough to tell what they are, however, given the bit of candied fruit atop their perfectly round surfaces. Clever.)
However, what is most notable? The package is arranged to distribute the contents as they would see fit among their household. And once they are all polished off, they might too observe that the wooden box in which they arrived seems like a perfect place to hold any number of items and curios. Almost like a... Compartmentalized shadow box? Ah, that would indeed explain the acrylic lid that slid neatly into place over them all to begin with.
You do realize that the unprompted specification that there is "no reason" behind your sudden communiqué implies existence of the contrary.
[ He's just giving him a hard time, really. But, the next string of messages will come in a moment. He's got his hands full, quite literally, between penning poor Bones the dog in the other room and setting down a plethora of groceries. ]
As I assume you are arriving, please enter through the back. I am currently restocking our refrigeration unit.
You needn't stop anywhere. I have purchased all required items for the moment. If you intend to remain for dinner, I am able to modify the portions accordingly.
