Once King

{Action I} - Library

[She was standing in the cooking section flipping through cook books. Perhaps these could help her prepare food better...

But she found herself being endlessly confused the more she flipped, and the quizzical look became more and more pronounced on her normally stoic face]

...perhaps I would benefit more from instruction...

{Action II} - Grocery Store

[Well, cooking requires ingredients, right? Problem was, Saber had a hard time not throwing everything that looked good in her basket. Surely it was not a bad thing to experience a variety of tastes...and it was not as if she did not posses the resources--thanks to her 'husband.' And besides, this was the one benefit to living in this place: Freedom to eat interesting cuisine.]

{Action III} - 450 Stone (if you character has a reason to enter the house, you are free to tag)

[Well, time to test out some of those books! Her nose was buried as she stirred what looked like a soup of some kind...]

Bring to a rolling boil...then add the cut vegetables...

[On a cutting bored next to her was a pile of poorly cut veggies, but at least the board itself was intact]

[A]

[Everything going on in this house was just plain exhausting lately. She had a new daughter, still had a horrible husband...well, that was it, but it was enough to completely take away her strength. Nothing a nice cleansing walk couldn't fix. Too bad this snow was extra bad today...she'd be soaked through by the time she made it home.

But for now, she was just enjoying the deep snow...she even started skipping a little and letting herself relax. She did like playing in the snow as a child...even if she had grown to dislike it over time.

...but, she wasn't really paying attention to where she was going...]

[B]

[well, that wasn't such a good idea in the end. Now she was wet and cold and needed something warm. I guess it was time to take a trip to the store. Anything to keep her away from the house for a while.]

Hmm...now, should I get more tea...coffee? Or perhaps this 'hot chocolate'...?

[C] - locked to 450 Stone

[With her shopping done, she really didn't have a reason to stay away from the house. Especially in these wet clothes.

So after changing, she stood in the bathroom brushing her damp hair to make it easier to dry.]

It seems strangely quiet today...which is exceedingly wonderful...[talking to herself in the mirror]
