Arcanarum

[When the compact turns on it's safe to assume that it fell out of her pocket. What is shown is her back as she sweeps up the apartment common room. The whole place is empty even though it was once full of people.

Anyone who knows Sophie well will have noticed that she's been much quieter then she usually is. There hasn't been a lot of nagging or bossing or even just talking. She's fallen into her old rut of simply staying out of the way of everything. Even at the clothing shop she's turned more toward sensible and dowdy clothing. Her looks may have made her even more lovely then she once was, but her clothing is doing a very good job of counteracting that and making her look very plain.]

I should go to the market and get more tea. It's still getting colder. I'll have to look at the meat too.

[She turns to write down what she'd just said onto a list when she sees the compact. She doesn't seem very worried about it being on as she closes it.]

[It seems Sophie has already been out and about. She has her ginger hair ties back and is now wearing a very sensible dress. Somehow the plain and slightly dulled dress looks very beautiful on her. She hasn't realized that the compact has popped open and is showing her from behind. She isn't really doing much after all. Just talking to the fabric of the toga and puella that she's fashioning into another dress.]

You've really made a mess of things this time Sophie. Somehow you've messed up Howl's spell and landed yourself in some strange place. Now how do you plan on getting yourself back? He may not be worried, but I'm sure Michael and Calcifer are. Or will be after a few days.
