003- [action] Happy Mother's Day (backdated to Sunday)

[smallestgrave]

[After being given a lovely generic card from her drone children, and going to church, which she never misses, Alice is out and about on Mother's day. You can find her is several places:]

A) [Shopping at the grocery store. She seems to be having trouble reaching a bottle of cooking wine on a high shelf. Give her a hand?]

Why would they keep things

[DAMNIT. He just *had* to wander within ear shot of another woman today.

Why look, this helpful young gentleman has brought you a milk crate to stand on! How charming. Except that he looks like he could punt a kitten right now.]

Re: A

[smallestgrave]

Oh! Thank you.

[Have a bright smile and a nod as she uses the crate to reach her goal.]

I don't believe we've met.

[She steps down and offers her hand.]

[sanctusdei]

[he sighs, annoyed with everything today. But he shakes her hand.] Theo.

[smallestgrave]

My name is Alice. It's a pleasure to meet you....

[She trails off, studying his expression.]

But I suppose you couldn't say the same....

Is anything wrong? You look awfully troubled.

[ Sadly Higgs isn't effected by the madness that has engulfed pretty much every other male in town, Alice. But he's still around, don't worry! In fact he's just stepping onto the porch right now. ]

It's fine.

Re: C.

[smallestgrave]

Really?

I was just thinking the yard could do with a bit of color. What do you think about getting some flowering bushes and putting them at the end of the driveway?

[madeofstoic]

Alright with me.

[ Airman Axel Higgs, completely indifferent towards everything. ]

[smallestgrave]

[She's noticing that... But let's stick with persistent cheer and optimism, see how that goes.]

Wonderful! I've always liked flower gardens, but I spent so much time traveling that I could never really tend one.

[spellbent]

Allow me. [ Warren is a tall dude. He can reach up there and grab it for her. ]

Re: A

[smallestgrave]

Thank you, Sir.

[She gives him a sweet smile. There's so many nice people in this town.]

[spellbent]

My pleasure. [ He smiles back. For once it's not... creepy. ] Is there anything else I can do for you?

[smallestgrave]

That's very kind of you. But it really isn't necessary. Unless you'd like to help me carry my groceries home...

[From her tone, it's clear that the last part was more of a joke.]

I don't believe we're acquainted, Sir. My name is Alice.

C

I'm fairly sure my friend wouldn't mind that at all. {Says a familiar ginormous space marine.]

Re: C

[smallestgrave]

Oh? Are you a friend of Mr. Higgs?

[lunawolves10th]

I believe so, yes. He is a very quiet man, but I would certainly consider him a friend. You know him as well then?

[smallestgrave]

Well.... not as such.

You see, I'm his assigned wife in this town.

[Ruri nods slightly to Alice as she approaches the church and goes to sit by one of the memorials letting out a breath]

Re: church

[smallestgrave]

[Alice smiles warmly.]

Good Morning.

[hontobakabaka]

[looking slightly down as opposed to her normal deadpan she nods]

"Hello. Don't mind me, I won't interrupt the preacher fellow today. I'm just here due to the lack of a real memorial garden."

[smallestgrave]

Memorial garden?
