Some might call it a cupboard. Others might call it a curio cabinet. It wasn't that big, really. Perhaps thirty centimeters wide, sixty centimeters high, and just deep enough to accommodate a handful of figurines. The cupboard itself was of more than adequate workmanship. Nothing fancy, mind you. No detail work or scrolling on it. But it had the look of being crafted by someone who, if not artistic, was a more than capable craftsman.
He place it in the shipping box first.
After that, he added a bottle of talcum powder, the sort that could be bought at any small store. He added along five candles, still sealed in the wrappers they were bought in. Each of the candles was of a different color: black, yellow, red, white and green.
Beside the candles, he added a little hand written note that read
罗盘
He then added a miniature set of billows that, unlike the cupboard, had intricate carvings on the handle of little cupids in various poses.
Then he added five action figures, each approximately six inches tall, still in their original package, and all five marked "Mint." All five figures were of characters from different Star Trek genres.
One was of T'Pol, though it was as her character was portrayed in the two part Mirror Mirror episode
Another was of the female android Andrea, from the episode "What are little girls made of?", from the original series
A third was the transporter chief portrayed by a young Teri Hatcher, from the Next Generation Episode "The Outrageous Okana"
A fourth was Seven of Nine, though some might consider both the hairstyle and the uniform of the figure as 'noncanonical,' whatever they might mean
And then there was the fifth figure. Like the other four, it was marked "Mint", but underneath that word was marked "Priceless," with the additional PostItNote attached to the package.
This run was meant to be the character Leeta from the last seasons of DS9. However, during this single run, the customary hair of that character, as well as the distinctive Bajoran nose ridges, were not included in the production of this figure. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only surviving figure from that run.---J
He carefully packed everything in the box, made sure there were enough Styrofoam peanuts to keep everything secure, then added one last note before he sealed the box:
Magic is a tricky thing, and it takes a clever mind to understand it all and unfold it all. And remember, magic is also a delicate thing. If you act less than gently, it will disappear. --- J
And with that last note, he sealed the package and sent it on its way
