Thank you to all you greeted me upon my arrival. Those who seem to recognize me (outside of Usagi-chan and Rei-chan), I do apologize that whatever memory I have of you and this place seems to have been erased.

I would like it very much if we were to resume our relations, however I may need to be re-introduced to several of you. I'd like it if I didn't rely on Usagi-chan entirely to learn about this place. She has better things to do than to baby-sit me.

[She says this with a nervous smile.]

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a spare of any of the following I could borrow...

[Ami doesn't refer to a piece of paper, doesn't look up in thought - she recalls all of this like it was her birthday.]

A teapot, kosher salt, saline solution, syringes, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, or menthol, butter, lotion, or petroleum jelly.

[That's it!]

I would greatly appreciate it. If you don't have them, if you have suggestions of places to search for said items, that would be helpful as well.

Oh, and, uh...

[She fiddles a bit with her communicator, and it goes out, except for--]

[Locked To Lestat]

Have you tasted any difference between royal blood and those of others?

[leggierissimo]

Having sinus problems? Or are you making an exfoliant?

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

Eh? No, not me, I--

[Blushes a bit. She is a horrible liar.]

I...just wanted to be prepared...

[Video]

[leggierissimo]

Prepared for an exfoliation emergency?

[Obviously teasing, though.]

I don't think that there's anything wrong with being prepared for illness. This place is filthy, after all.

[Ami blushes a bit, and nods.]

Yes...

[Video]

[leggierissimo]

Are you a doctor, then?

I think we have an extra teapot around here. You're welcome to it if we do.

I'm Harry, by the way. I don't think we met the last time you were here.

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

Th-thank you, Harry-san!

[Gives a sheepish smile.]

Even if we had, I wouldn't remember it, I'm sorry to say. I'm Ami Mizuno. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Video]

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

No need to thank me.

[Don't be sheepish, Ami! The last time you were here, it woulda been muncest.] Yeah, that's how this place goes sometimes. It's nice to meet you properly.

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

But of course there is! I know these things don't come readily in this place...

[But she can't help it! So many nice people!]

I suppose over this communication device is as proper as any!

[Video]

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Well... a bit more properly than just seeing you speak over the network.

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Ami-chan... But, I don't mind! Really! I can show you things here! And tell you about it!

We should have a teapot. I'll see if I can find it. I don't know about the other things, though. We might have butter... [See? She can help! In fact, she's already running towards the kitchen area to check. She'll prove it.]

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

[Ami warmly smiles.] That would be great, Usagi-chan. I would appreciate your help very much!

In fact, would you like to be my assistant once we get all these items together?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Sure! [In fact, she'd like nothing more than to be able to spend time with a friend. Which is very much why she's scrambling so quickly to get the items ready: She can show Ami she's capable of helping with things, of getting things done, of being responsible. She can prove herself - or so she hopes.]

I'll bring these over to your room right away.

There is an indoor marketplace in the northwestern quarter of the city, which sometimes may yield things of value and use, if you are willing to brave its partially ruined confines. Would that I had any of the items you wish for, that I could give them to you.

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

You've been so helpful already, I--please do not hesitate if I can ever return the favor! Thank you!

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

You are most welcome.

[And she curtsies.]

[Video]

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

You surely are demanding.

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

[Ami turns red in the face, and cowers, looking down to her feed.]

I'm sorry..! I...It wasn't a demand, it was really a request, I didn't...I mean...

[Video]

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

That's still quite a lot to ask for in once.

[Yeah, he is clearly wearing an amused look.]

What do you need it for anyways?

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

I...I only need a little bit, and...it...

[Poor Ami, choking up on her words.]

It's for...congestion relief...since the cold...you can mumblemumblemumble...

[Video]

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

I couldn't quite catch the last part. Do you mind to repeat that again?

[angle_on_it]

I'm no so sure what kosher salt is, but I have some salt stored up that I could probably share; I use it for preserving fish. As for the other stuff? You might want to talk to Unohana.

[Ami's face lights up. It's Sokka again! Goodness, he's a helpful fellow!]

That would be wonderful!

[video]

[angle_on_it]

[With nothing better to do with himself, "Helpful Fellow" has become something of a career choice here.]

How much do you think you'll need?

[video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

Oh, not much, really. It's more to make a solution.
