There where so bottles. Britannica gazed at them in awe.
"What do they all do? Which ones do you need? OOOOOH THIS ONES FLUORESCENT PINK CAN I GET IT! Soooo pret- HEY LOOK THIS ONE MATCHES YOUR EYES!"
Britannica was obviously still on full on chatter mode. She also appeared to have consumed her food and drink.... And now had shopping bags?
Just how long had it taken them to get to the Potion Shop anyway?

Deep breaths. Deeeeeeeeeep breaths. Deep, calming, nerve-soothing, compassionate, comprehending breaths. Sure, she had stopped at EVERY SINGLE STORE on the way here. Sure she had insisted on buying the most useless, oddest things. Sure she had insisted on petting every fish in the minipet store, only to have to be carefully explained that they didn't work that way. SURE SHE HAD WASTED ALMOST TWO HOURS NOW.
Deep breaths. Very deep breaths.
However, they had finally arrived at his destination, and Sebastian let out a sigh of relief. Before he could even say anything, she was running around the store, making the customers give him some "is she yours?" looks, and the staff give him so "shut her up" looks.
Awkwardly, he let out a sort of choked laugh and then wrapped his arms around her waist reigning her in. "Okay Brit, I need you to help me. First you have to be very, .... VERY quiet," he said into her ear. Did he realize what an odd position they were in? Yes. Did he just want her to shut up? Jack yes.

Brit let out a slightly startled noise as she was snagged around the waist before deciding to go with, leaning so her head was resting on his shoulder and she could stare up at him. Mmmmmmm. His was a comfy shoulder.
At the request for quiet Brit opened her mouth to loudly agree before realizing that was the exact opposite of the request so instead held her finger up to her lip in a 'Shhhhh' motion, winking.
There was a pause.
Brit opened her mouth to ask what now? And then closed it, frowning, before flapping her hands at Seb in an effort to silently communicate.

Sebastian let out a sigh of relief and sweet silence. He liked Brit, he really did, but she could just talk and talk and talk ...
Still, she was naive. He knew she didn't mean any harm. He reached into his messenger bag (WHICH HE HAS TOTALLY HAD THIS WHOLE TIME) and said, "Okay. Now you have to find this for me." He held up his phone which had a picture of the particular thing he needed to find. Quickly, Sebastian added, "And you have to do it silently."
Was he being a bit harsh? Maybe to any other person. But really. Have you met Brit?

Britannica stared at the picture of what Sebastian needed, trying to firmly implant it in her mind. And then stared some more. There was a long moment of staring.
Then she nodded, smiling and started to skip towards the back of the store in search of the bottle. The gloom quickly engulfed her form, it was a big potions shop.
Sebastian would probably now be able to get all his other shopping done in peace now.
.....only Britannica wasn't returning from the back of the shop even after a significant amount of time.

Sebastian cracked a smile as the ghoul headed into the back of the store to shop. At least she would have fun for a while. If he was thankful of one thing, it was that the ghoul seemed able to entertain herself endlessly. It was like having a dog chase its tail. Extremely convenient.
He had sorted through the shelves looking for what he needed, moving this way and that way. Sampling this. Smelling that. Finally he had found the necessary bag of what honestly looked like skinny pig alfalfa. With a sigh, he picked up the bag and looked around. "Okay Brit, let's go~" he called out. No response.
That was odd. Why wasn't she just coming to his side like always. A frown creased across his face, but it quickly disappeared. She was probably just distracted by some shiny object in the back of the store. With a sigh, he headed back into the fray of the shop.
"Brit? Où vous sont, ma cherie?" he called out, trying to be quiet as he was still in the store, but loud enough that she would hopefully hear.

Silence.
.....Hey was that a hole in the wall? It was decently big and pretty recent if the debris around it was any indication. The floor also looked really slick.... There where smashed jars of oil everywhere.
.....oh dear.

All of his senses just screamed GET OUT OF THEREEEE. He should just walk away. Run away even (well no, walk away. Again, Sebastian didn't run).
Yet ... he couldn't just leave this alone. It had Britannica's name written all over it. He felt somewhat responsible if the shop had been damaged on Brit's part. He was sort of ... in charge of her? That made it sound like he was babysitting her.
He examined the hole in the wall. Just what was back here?

Sebastian really should have listened to his senses. All it took was a second too long of being interested in the hole and BAM a tentacle reached out and grabbed him by the ankle, dragging Sebastian in pulling him along a passage behind the wall.
There was no light during this trip through the earthen passage and the only sound was a distant... screaming? How ominous.
With a final tug the tentacle pulled him through into another abondened store, complete with creepy low lighting, bloodstains and cobwebs where he was unceremoniously dropped.
Over at the table in the middle of the store Brit noticed Sebastian and waved, sipping her tea as she did so. Opposite her sat a tentacle monster in a Santa hat, obviously getting into the season.
"My friend! Good of you to join us! Hubert was just telling me about these gnomes he met - I could not stop laughing!"

Sebastian screamed. Sebastian screamed like a sissy little ghoul. One that had a high pitched voice to begin with. As he tumbled downwards and downwards, he couldn't help but wonder two things. One: was he going to live? Two: where the Jack had Brit gone?!
Oh and a third thing of course. WHERE THE JACK WAS HE GOING?!
As he hit the ground, his head rolled a few feet away from him, leaving body to flounder around like an idiot. Luckily for Sebastian, it seemed his body didn't really want to get up. Less things to mess up then.
As he squeezed his eyes open, the surrounding surprised him. The place was actually rather pleasantly decorated. Not a bad place at all. Maybe a little tacky, but not bad. "Brit?" he gasped surprised. He was going to walk over to her when he realized ... well that he couldn't. "Ahh merde," he muttered, "Some help?"

The smell of peppermint is the only warning anyone gets before the sounds of destruction and screams of violence fill the maul. The giant Christmas tree thrashes and lunges at shoppers, vicious toys and decorations drop from its branches to launch their own attacks. All exits and windows are blocked, trapping the holiday shoppers within the maul, forcing them to face the JOYful wrath of Christmas.

"Oh Dear!" Britannica quickly placed her cup down and hurried over to his head, floundering a little as she tried to figure out how one politely picks up someone elses head. They didn't cover this in etiquette. Eventually she decided to just cradle it, scurrying quickly over to Sebastians body and passing the head to it.
As she did so she took a deep breath, wrinkling her nose as she did so. "Wheres that smell coming from?" the place reeked of Peppermint, and not the nice hot spicy dash in your coffee, no the scent was overly reposuvly sweet.
She didn't know if it was insult at her words or something else but Hubert chose that moment to run away shrieking wordlessly.

Sebastian gave a sigh of relief at how gently Brit was handling his head. Given her further disposition, he would've expected something a tad more ... well forceful. Perhaps that she would dance around with it or something.
Thankfully, she didn't and head was reunited with body once more. Sebastian tightened the becoming bowtie he had chosen today and brushed himself off carefully. He hadn't noticed it at first, but now that she mentioned it, it was smelling particularly ... pepperminty and sweet. Definitely not a good smell.
A sudden shaking shook the small room they were in, as the monster retreated. Something was going on back in the maul above, and it wasn't pretty. Perhaps that giant Christmas tree in the center of the maul had finally collapsed and was now crushing the stores. Ha. Like that could happen.
All he knew was that it was time to high tail it out of here before the room collapsed. Not even thinking, he grabbed Brit's hand and started racing up the tunnel they had come from.

There she was, being pulled along by her bestest best friend for more adventure fun times when out of nowhere came a lecherous ginger bread thing.
Brit's eyebrow twitched.
Nobody acted like that around a lady (Lets ignore Sebastians earlier scandalous behavior ok, it was tactful). So Brit did exactly what her mother taught her to do and wailed on the thing, all female fury and flailing arms.
"H-HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE THAT- alsoimprettysureSebsaguy. 90&#xga;urantee."
