Judith,

I hope you're well. I had a question, if you have a moment: do you know anything about the tradition behind throwing toilet paper over people's houses?

Hi Flynn.

Um, no, that sounds....weird. Is it an earth thing?

[thinkfirst]

I think it must be, because I've never encountered it. It seems to be a prank of some kind? We used to get children from the Citizen's Quarter egging houses as a dare, I think—Yuri and I had to run them off a few times—but never anything like this. It's quite wasteful.

Why eggs? That also seems pretty wasteful, since they are really good in food.

Oh! Unless they were bad? Then I guess those would make a great way to express your unhappiness by throwing them at people.

[thinkfirst]

The ones usually thrown at us were perfectly good. It didn't happen very often—mostly in the summer, I think, when the sun was out longer.

I really can't explain the paper at all. Pranks were never very interesting to me, though. They're pointless, and mean.
