Super Mabio Ross — view 1

Classification

A 1,686-piece miniature block construction set of Chinese manufacture, bearing a strong resemblance to a well-known Danish interlocking brick system. The packaging identifies the subject as "Super Mabio Ross." No further clarification was provided or sought.

Acquisition

Arrived sometime before the December holiday — the annual one celebrating the birth of a carpenter, which tradition has converted into a mandate to fill the human face-hole with an unreasonable volume of food. Theologically, this qualifies as gluttony. Nobody seems concerned.

Field observations: seasonal context

The assembly was delayed by the standard holiday obligations. Family NPCs arrived on schedule — aunts and uncles carrying expensive wine, pouring exactly two large glasses each, consumed with the urgency of someone watering a dying plant.

Also present: the mildly attractive cousin-by-marriage, who entered the family by unclear circumstances and now exists primarily to make the room slightly more uncomfortable. Function within the group remains undetermined.

Theological note

The following Friday is a public holiday designated for reflecting on the torture and execution of the messiah. According to the best-selling publication attributed to him, a spear was inserted into his abdomen. By comparison, overeating seems like a minor offense.

Assembly completed over the holidays. With friends, not family. This was the correct decision.
