[This is strange, for some reason when Fuuko came to she didn't notice any of the usual crockery. Heck right now she isn't even on the shelf she sleeps on in the kitchen. Why on earth is she tipped over on some bed? Very strange.

With a little swaying and hopping she's able to carefully slide off the side of the bed using the sheets and head out of the bedroom she found herself in to look around. This definitely isn't where the Master usually stays. She knew house seventeen by the back of her handle from tidying and hopping around all over the place and this certainly wasn't it.

...Perhaps she was stolen whilst she was asleep? It's possible! Some weird crook could have come in and stole her along with some of the other Master's belongings thinking she was just a normal teacup. Yes, that must be it.

Hurrying back to the bed she awoke on Fuuko climbs back up very slowly and carefully until she's atop the bed again. With any luck her journal was stolen along with her... And there it is on the bedside table! Convenient. Flicking it open with her handle and clearing her throat before she starts to speak.]

[Voice]

Excuse me, Master? I'm sorry to bother you but I'm in some strange house I'm not familiar with. If I head outside and start heading home now then please keep an eye out for me and open the door once I'm back. I'll be sure to make some tea as soon as I'm there so don't worry!

[That was an awful lot of first person there. If she's going to talk to the Master then there's no room for throwing childish third person speech around.]

[Action]

[As she said Fuuko will be attempting to find her way home by hopping through the village towards house seventeen. She'll also be pushing her journal along the ground with her so the Master doesn't have to go back and get it for her later. A difficult challenge for a teacup, yes, but she's getting there!]

Ugh, why did Fuuko's journal have to be taken all the way out here too? The Master will be angry if Fuuko is gone for too long.

[Just complaining to herself, don't mind the talking teacup. Oh, actually, do mind the talking teacup. Being stepped on or knocked over isn't something Fuuko enjoys.

OOC - Fuuko is now a maid-turned-teacup and is a servant to the Master/Beast! AU info is over here.]

O-oh, no, it's okay. I wanted to help. [He smiles a little.] I don't think my luck's that good, though. I'm sure I'll be stuck here for a while before I can go home again.

[Though, at the same time, maybe that wasn't completely terrible.]

Thank you very much for lending a hand then. [Literally, it's not like she has any of her own-] Once we get back home Fuuko will be more than happy to put a new pot of tea on the stove just for you. If you end up being here for a long time then you can always come back to the Master's house and Fuuko will make you more.

[Providing the Beast doesn't mind too terribly that is.]

[Shinji doesn't know what to do with all of this kindness...! Surprised by her offer, he quickly shakes his head.]

That's really nice of you, but you don't have to do that. [He kind of mumbles his next words, but they shouldn't be hard for Fuuko to understand.] Besides, I'm not even sure how a teacup prepares tea...

[Oh yes, she got that part. Allow her to explain~]

Very easily, at least with a little practice anyway! Since Fuuko discovered these handy little things called 'tea bags' all Fuuko has to do is boil some water, empty it into a teapot and leave the tea bag to rest in it until the tea is strong enough. It's all very simple. Fuuko honestly wouldn't mind monsieur, Fuuko wouldn't know how else to pay back your kindness.

[How she boils the water or does any of this without arms or legs is both a mystery and some art form probably.]

[But that's exactly the part he doesn't understand...! Shinji makes a face at her explanation, since it doesn't quite explain anything, but he decides it's probably best to leave it at that.]

I'm sure anyone else would have done the same thing. But if you're sure it's no trouble...

[But that's how she prepares tea, with tea bags! That was the most thorough of explanation.]

Fuuko is absolutely positive that it will be no trouble at all. If there would be a problem then Fuuko would never have offered in the fist place. But seeing as there isn't a problem Fuuko has no qualms about offering you a spot of tea!

A-all right. [He almost feels like there's no arguing with her...! But it's fine. It wasn't really like he had anything better to do.] Um, I'd love to try it.

Excellent, then as soon as we're back Fuuko will make you some. We might even have a few biscuits too if you would like some monsieur. How do you take your tea, milk, sugar?

Oh, um... Milk sounds good. [He isn't picky! And even if he was, he wouldn't be very demanding of Fuuko. It's not often that other people actually prepare things for him.] My name's Shinji, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Fuuko.

Milk it is then! Hopefully we have some fresh somewhere in the house. [She tilts her rim slightly in an attempt at a nod.] It's nice meeting a kind person like yourself too, monsieur Shinji.

I-I'm not that kind, but... thank you. [You say such embarrassing things, Fuuko...! But we should be there soon, shouldn't we?]

[That we should. In fact there's the house just over there! Fuuko would point to it but, well, that's difficult. She turns her handle towards the house and shifts around happily though.] There we are, home sweet home. We have made it at last! The door should be unlocked monsieur, so please go right on inside.

[Fuuko can't manage locks like this and the Beast would probably just knock the door down if it were locked anyway. It's easier just left unlocked.]

Okay. [Her little gesture helps, so he heads over to the house. It never gets any less awkward, walking into someone else's home. When he opens the door, he looks around for a moment, then checks to make sure that Fuuko's inside before he shuts the door.] There. Home sweet home.

Thank you, it's nice to be back. If monsieur could be as kind as to place Fuuko on one of the kitchen work-surfaces then Fuuko would be happy to start work on that tea right away. [Those things are high up and climbing can be a real challenge.]

Alright. [He bends down to pick Fuuko up in his other hand...!] Which way is the kitchen?

To your right monsieur. Don't worry about putting the kettle on or anything like that, Fuuko is more than capable of doing all that. [And yet she can't climb up things or open doors.]

Okay. [He's still not sure how a teacup puts on a kettle (...unless there are talking kettles, too?!), but he keeps that thought to himself. He heads into the kitchen, looking around to consider where to put her. Finally, he settles on the counter near the stove.] Is this alright?

Perfect, thank you! [As soon as she's set down Fuuko goes off to prepare the tea. It's a long, drawn out process involving shuffling a kettle along the counter towards the sink, tugging the tap around so water pours into the kettle using the cloth and a whole bunch of other small tasks which eventually results in a filled kettle.] Fuuko will be done shortly, make yourself at home until then.

[...this is kind of fascinating to watch.]

Is there anything I can help with?

What sort of person would Fuuko be if Fuuko asked for help after already having you take Fuuko home?

[She wouldn't be a person at all. She would be a teacup.

A little while later and she's managed to shuffle the kettle over and start heating the water.]

Fuuko has everything under control, Fuuko is more than used to do all this.
