[action] Stocking up.

[pinkscarflady]

[Mom can be found in several places today. She seems awfully busy. Bother her?]

[Today Mom is out and about doing a little shopping. First stop is the local car lot, where she is perusing the available convertibles. She seems to be leaning toward the cherry red one.


And once she has her lovely new wheels, it's time to head over to the liquor store to stock up. Why yes, she does need a full case of gin. Among other things.

After that she just needs to make one more quick for some groceries. And several dozen cans of shaving cream. Barbasol, since that's the only brand her husband will use.]

hope you don't mind the lateness!!

[ Juliet sees Mom park herself on the side of the road. Immediately, Juliet looks at her choice in cars and starts to assess it. The model is nice and very similar to Juliet's but it's not pink. ]

Your car is sooooo red! It's not like my car at all, well, in color at least! [ She'll strike up a conversation with this nice, friendly, red car driving stranger who hopefully does not poison their body with alcoholic substances! ]

Not at all!

[pinkscarflady]

An astute observation. I thought I'd need something in a color that was suitably daring.

[She is friendly, but as for alcoholic substances..... well that probably isn't anything too strong in the cupholder.]

All in all, I'm considering it a wise purchase. Even if it doesn't survive the trip.

thank youuuu!!

[cutesy]

The most daring colors are the brightest! You can't get more daring than hot pink! [ PINK PROPAGANDA. ]

It won't survive the trip? How do you know? [ It looks like a nice car!! IT MUST LIVE... ]

[pinkscarflady]

I am rather fond of pink.

I don't know that it won't. I'm just preparing myself for the possibility. My husband and I intend to take it on a somewhat hazardous trip.

[cutesy]

Everyone should be fond of pink! That's like, the rules of humanity or something.

Ooh?! Are you guys going to investigate that weird religion Tom Cruise believes in too?! [ That was the most dangerous thing she could think of! ]

[pinkscarflady]

[She raises an eyebrow and tries to hide her amusement.]

Yes, as a matter of fact we are on an eternal crusade against the dark forces of Scientology. However did you guess?

[cutesy]

Because you said it'll be hazardous and everyone always talks about how doing anything related to scientology is usually super dangerous! [ JULIET: GENIUS INSPECTOR.

ooc: oh this is embarrassing. I forgot I responded to this already, so please ignore the previous tag! Oops... ]

Late, sorry!

[handsforhealing]

[ Did you say lovely new wheels? Winry's been stalking around the car shop. When she notices Mom's choice she can't help but grin. ]

Good choice! That car, I mean!

no worries~

[pinkscarflady]

Why thank you, I'm rather fond of it myself. I thought about getting the pink one of course, but there's just something especially.... flashy about cherry red convertibles.

[handsforhealing]

I definitely know what you mean. [ She laughs a bit as she adds: ] And my boyfriend would agree too. You've got good taste, ma'am.

[pinkscarflady]

Oh? Fond of cars, is he?

whoops late action

[thousandblades]

[Archer will just cock an eyebrow at all that alcohol.]

Hosting a party?

[pinkscarflady]

[She smiles, amused.]

Frequently.

Although is this case I'm just stocking up for personal use.

[thousandblades]

Seems like quite a bit for personal use.

[pinkscarflady]

[Her smile widens into a grin.]

I suppose it does.

I'm not entirely opposed to sharing though, if you're interested.

[thousandblades]

I'll have to pass unfortunately. I've never been much of a drinker.

Need any help carrying it?

[pinkscarflady]

[She shrugs, she's never understood that type.]

I certainly wouldn't say no to such a chivalrous offer.

[thousandblades]

[Alcohol is meant to be used in moderation when cooking obviously. He reaches out, taking the case from her.]

It would be my pleasure.
