A very confused Emperess

[Liz has been up all morning, she doesn't usually sleep, but now she's cleaning, singing what could be a Snow White like cleaning song, saver for the fact its in the horrible dead language of Lost Carcosa.  She's already cleaned up all the chemical components in the basement and scrubbed out as many of the blood stains as possible.  She's also put a chemical list on all of the household cleaners.  She's just locked the kids in the crawl space and is making a cup of tea.]

[Action]  Roads to the Florist or General Store

[Liz is walking down the streets, smile on her face, still singing her horrible horrible song an empty cloth bag under her arm]

[Action]  Florist and General Store

[Liz is looking for things, peering at herbs, poisons, cleaning agents, all sorts of terrible things.  Also getting a box of Shake'n'Bake]

General store

[femtags.livejournal.com]

[This is Minako going down to the general store as well to look around. There, she spotted Elizabeth singing...]

Elizabeth-san?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Oh! Hello Minato! How are you today?"

[femtags.livejournal.com]

Um...do you mean Minako?

Not bad, I'm looking to see if there's anything I can use to make dinner tonight!

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

[She looks a bit embarrassed]

"Oh yes... Minako... I... I... I have felt quite odd today. No one in my house eats much so... I was just collecting various things that seem to get used a lot.

[femtags.livejournal.com]

In that case, do you want me to help you?

[But she wonders if Elizabeth knows how to cook...]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Oh.. If you like. I needed some drain cleaner, several canisters of salts and some candles."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

Got it!

[Although she's wondering what Elizabeth was up to...]

By the way, what were you singing before?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"It was a love song about a princess and a prince... They fought a dragon and lived happily ever after... Why? Did you enjoy it?"

[femtags.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[does she have enough courage to say the truth?

...yes but she doesn't have the heart to say it]

I-It was quite nice, I would have to learn more about it!

"It is from a language that has been long lost to time. Studying it was a hobby of mine when there were no guests to attend to."

Elizabeth.

[ Have a Souji. Despite his past trips to the General Store, he only has a bottle of soda this time. ]

"Hello Souji. How are you today?"

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[ He looks at his soda, then at Elizabeth, giving her a soft smile. ]

Taking the afternoon off.

[ He's looking into your shopping cart, Elizabeth. ]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Oh... I see. I was just resupplying things that we run out of a lot at my house."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Need some help?

[ Just look how busy he is! ]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"No no.. I am fine, but if you would like something I can pick it up for you."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

Pick up something for me? You're very considerate, Elizabeth. I will decline your generosity, though.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Are you certain? I do not mind, but, the choice is for you to make."

[inababanchou.livejournal.com]

I'm certain. You should save your consideration for Minato.

Florist

[doudemoe]

[As if this day wasn't weird enough.]

Liz?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

[She stops and smiles at him cheerfully]

"Yes?"

[doudemoe]

What are you doing here?

[And why are you humming that weird song?]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Nukusan used several of his dried herbs and I was trying to be helpful and replace them. Nothing too fancy but I woke up this morning and wanted to help for some reason."

[doudemoe]

I see. But the ones you have aren't edible.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"None of the ones he uses are edible. Some sort of experiments in the basement. I was getting some salt for me to make some test binding circles as well, but mostly this is for the herbs that have been used."
