((back dated to may 29th))

Hugbell had promised Mica to bring her back some crystal from her home world and the teen was sure she could find some she just had to go and look! Which wasn't much of a problem.

The teen hummed as she showed up back on her homeworld near the crystal field swaying a bit as she looked around to see and figure out where she might want to head. She really didn't want to try and figure out how to pick fresh crystals right now. That'd be a lot of work. She was still slightly injured thankfully though they were healing nicely.

Though as Hugbell stood and looked around at the crystals and then to the small waterwheel house she realized she was slowly feeling even better, like her wounds were still healing but they weren't quite as painful? She seemed a little confused but assumed it was her homeworld's way of trying to comfort her.

She summoned Barnaby from his subspace pocket and placed her ribbon on him and smiled as he stretched and yawned, "Good morning sweetie." She said softly to the bear as she hugged him, "Want to help me find some crystals to take back? I'd like to be able to spend more time studying them, and I promised at least one to someone I think can help."

The bear nodded and Hugbell couldn't help but grin, "Good, now then, oh yeah! I kept a backpack so I could carry anything we need." She turned to show him the unicorn backpack. "I thought it might be a good idea, not to mention I packed a few other things."

The teen and bear walked towards the little house, "I think this might be a good place to start." she opened the door, "Surely there's some left over crystals in the workshop that haven't been used." As she walked in Barnaby moved towards one of the chairs that looked fairly easy to climb, she chuckled and moved to help him giving him a small hug again as she placed him on the table, "It's nice to have someone to help me look, makes this whole place not feel as lonely."

She stood looking around the house, "Thankfully," She sighed after having encountered the youma she was a little more on alert trying to track if any other unwelcomed guests would be here. Hugbell nodded softly to herself as she moved towards the work bench while Barnaby was looking at the the table setting, which had been left; as if the family had been ready to sit down and eat.

Things here though seemed mostly untouched compared to a few of the buildings in the town Hugbell had come across. She was looking at the work bench before starting to pull out drawers and searching in doors. "There's gotta be something here somewhere."

Hugbell paused when she found some papers with doodles and it looked like instructions. She flipped through them softly trying to make sure they didn't just crumple under her touch smiling a bit as she realized that this might be something important to try and decode. "I wish it was easier to figure out what all these words are."

Though she pulled out a folder and placed the papers in one to keep them safe as she placed it in her bag. She could take it home and work on it.

She continued to pull out drawers until she finally found some small crystals. "Barnaby! I found them~!" She cried looking over to the bear who was cleaning the dishes with his paw and looking at it with a frown. "Ahah, oh Barnaby use a rag, here." She pulled one from a side pocket tossing it to the bear, "I don't know why you're cleaning them, we don't have any running water to wash them properly or soap. So it won't do any good. I can't eat off of them."

She stopped for a second as she looked towards the water pump, or did they have 'running water?' The teen had been on her knees to dig through the boxes under the work bench and got up moving towards the sink and played with the handle of the water pump. "Or... if this works. . ." it took a little bit but she could hear a faint gurgling of water, so the teen continued until there actually was water! "Oh! Well this makes things a little easier! I'd just need soap."

Hugbell did actually manage to wash her hands with the water, but didn't bother much with the dishes just wiping them off with a damp cloth letting Barnaby dry them. "Hm," She looked around, "This whole place could use a through dusting couldn't it?" The teenager pulled out a feather duster and some swiffer stuff, looking, "Okay I did not bring enough swiffers for the whole house." She sighed, "We'll just have to make due. Everything here needs it, and I mean . . . everything."

She had one that extended to reach places she couldn't, the rugs needed a through shake, but they could wait for now. "Since there's layers of dust we're gunna have to work on this a bit at a time. Looks like the bookshelves have a smaller ladder for stuffed animals Barnaby, if you wanted to start there." She flung open a few more curtains and windows, letting a breeze float through the room as they worked.

Since she'd found the crystals she needed Hugbell didn't mind cleaning a little bit. Maybe if they started at one place they could eventually clean everything here right? "It's going to take a while to mend everything. . . " The teen sighed. When the cleaning was as done as they could manage Hugbell nodded and smiled softly, "Okay Barnaby. I think we're done for now." She gave a small sneeze because of the dust, "Lets close up and head home."

Her time was almost out with the bear anyways she gave him a small kiss on the forehead, "Thank you for helping me." With that both of them went back home to earth.
