[Due to a variety of reasons, Raine hadn't been out and about the village for a few days, as was noted by how she was absent on the last two days of school. Of course, something like that can't last when you're the only one cooking in the household and the food supply is decreasing quicker than normal

[Sheena's in the store shopping for Jennifer, who's afraid to leave the house. Having no idea what Jennifer likes, she's getting a little bit of everything, her mind on other things. It's possible she'd bump right into Raine rounding a corner in the store.]

[wise_maiden]

[It's possible she does, right there in the bread section, where Raine is picking up a loaf for sandwiches, and some hard rolls.]

... Oh, sorry.

[corrinesbell]

Whoa! ...Sorry Raine. Guess I wasn't looking where I was going.

[arms full of many different things]

[wise_maiden]

It's all right. [It's a good thing that she wasn't carrying the eggs, having set her bags a few feet away.] It seems like it's a popular day for food shopping.

[corrinesbell]

Oh, all of this isn't for me. ...But we did sorta run low on food last week.

[wise_maiden]

Oh, I see.

It was an eventful week, so it's understandable.

[corrinesbell]

Did anything weird happen to you? I heard Albert was acting kinda strange.

[wise_maiden]

You did?

... No, I was thankfully unaffected. Though it was difficult to hear of all of these incidents and be unable to do anything directly about them.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah...I forget where. It was after I stopped being a human lightning rod that I heard about it.

There's a world where people live with those things every day.

[wise_maiden]

A human lightening rod? ... I take it that Ginko must have helped you.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. And he did, so it didn't last that long. ...But I don't ever wanna do that again.

[wise_maiden]

That... can't have brought back pleasant memories. I'm glad he was able to help you in time.

[corrinesbell]

I didn't exactly like what he had to do to fix it either.

So things in your house are okay?

[wise_maiden]

For the most part, I suppose. At least this whole situation seems to have been resolved, for better or worse.

Who is the food for?

[corrinesbell]

Oh, it's for Jennifer. D'you know her? She's pretty quiet...and usually acts like she's scared of people.

[wise_maiden]

No, I don't believe we've met. [She usually remembers those she's met.] The name sounds familiar, though. Does she have a pet?
