Today was an odd day, for Ryuk- mainly because he was actually coming to the dorms early, today, lightly fanning himself due to how hot it was outside as he went. Usually he spent the entire day out, but this was one of those times he was tired and wanted to relax. Perhaps get some water.. It wasn't an emergency, but his fingers were beginning to feel drier. Ah well. A large bottle should tide him over, which he could have in his room.
What added to the strangeness of that day, though, was finding a package, right outside of his room. It was a bit shady looking, too- plain, but a little beat up, and with a giant "FRAGILE" printed onto it. Now, most would look at the address to make sure it was actually for them- but not Ryuk. He saw it and simply assumed someone had given him a present, which caused him to do a few, excited bounces followed by happy squeals and giggles as he ran over to the box, hugging it to himself. It was.. a bit heavy for him, but nothing he couldn't lift as he scurried into his room.
Now, as per instruction, he would not simply rough house this box- he would treat it with care. He used the end of his scissors to lightly cut the plastic, barely able to contain his excitement. Could it be candy? New clothes? A puppy? It needed more air holes it if was a puppy, but it could still be one! A squeak escaped him as he opened the box, beaming...
And pausing with utter confusion as he saw a large jar, which only looked more perplexing as he pulled it out of the box, as something clearly was inside of it. The contents, though he couldn't really make it out, looked quite pretty. It was.. a bit strange, yes, but.. maybe it was jelly! It looked like jelly! It might be delicious, and he could put it on sandwiches. So despite his reservations, he did what no sane man would do- he opened the jar, a small, but curious smile coming to him as he did so.
