A very confused Emperess

[Action] 1128 Taylor Road

[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]

"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!

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"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."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

What's the name of it?

Maybe when I have the time, I could learn it too.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Translated? The Dragon Knight and the Princess... I... Get the feeling most people are made nervous by the language itself. Sometimes."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

So? I won't know until I try!

Besides, I tackled Nyx before...learning languages are much easier!

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"...Nyx. Yes."

[She sighs and looks down]

"The contract I... If you would like I will gladly teach you later though."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Elizabeth. That would be wonderful if you could.

But what does that have to do with the contract?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"My contract began, when the threat to the seal of Nyx was threatened. But it has not yet begun. If that makes any sense at all."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

No, I understand!

But...wasn't Igor mad?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"At the leaving of my brother and I? No. We simply were tasked with signing a contract of our own. Our older sister was much more angry."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

...May I ask why she was?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I do not believe she wished to be left alone... And my task was one that seems impossible. Even I try not to think about what it entails."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

I wonder if she would be mad a Theodore too...

But I'm sure we can talk to her somehow.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"I think that she need have a guest of her own first to understand, and apparently, Souji is her guest. So I have hope for the future."

[femtags.livejournal.com]

I'll just have to ask him whenever we have the time!

By the way, are you planning on making anything?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Making anything?"

[femtags.livejournal.com]

I heard recently that today was father's day in America so we could make something.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Yes. It is. If you would like assistance I could offer it, but... My kitchen skills are not well refined."
