A/N: I don't own any Puppet Master characters, they belong to Full Moon Features and Charles Band. I do however own Archer, Elizabeth and Wildcard, as normal when the puppets speak it will be in italics
Also thank you Cryptic for letting me use Jinkx in this story
Elizabeth hardly wanted to wake up, but the sound of Jinkx's interaction with the puppets woke her up.
She buried her head into the pillow.
"Five more minutes.."
After a few minutes she begrudgingly got up, a few joints clicking causing her to flinch.
Though considering how long she'd been sleeping rough for it didn't surprise her.
"Morning all." She greeted.
Mephisto gave her a nod sitting on the end of the bed.
Khan looked over from his spot at the window.
Leech Woman was sitting by Decapitron who was still offline.
It didn't take long for her to notice Wildcard was missing.
"Where's Wildcard?"
Mephisto made a guarding motion before pointing to the door.
Elizabeth immediately went to the door to open it.
"Wildcard?"
She looked around panicked.
"She's downstairs with Six Shooter." Jinkx assured.
Elizabeth sighed in relief.
"Well that panic woke me up."
"You don't need to worry. Like I said before you and your puppets are safe here." Jinkx assured.
Elizabeth nodded.
"I'll be down shortly. Then once I have a clear head I can figure out what I'm actually doing."
Within a few minutes she was heading downstairs taking her time to absorb the details of the building.
She couldn't help but chuckle seeing Six and Wildcard still fast asleep on their pillows.
"Good morning you two." She greeted.
Wildcard stretched and looked up at her master.
Six however almost jumped out of his skin hearing Elizabeth, though he didn't jump out of his skin he did fall off his pillow.
Elizabeth tried not to laugh.
"Sorry Six, didn't mean to startle you."
Six gave Elizabeth a nod as if to say it's ok and looked around wondering where the others were.
Elizabeth sat down in the kitchen with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Guess now I can finally start repairing the platform Decapitron is on. Apparently there's supposed to be wires around the back of it that connect with something to give him electricity, least according to those notes...though I should work on getting more elixir made up too." She said quietly to herself.
She sighed realising exactly how much work was ahead of her.
"I'm in way over my head."
She looked over a few minutes later seeing Jinkx come downstairs, a few of the puppets following her.
"Good morning Elizabeth, I hope you slept well." Jinkx greeted.
"Best nights sleep I've had in years." Elizabeth smiled.
She watched in interest as Pinhead climbed up the chair besides her to get a better look at her.
She gave him a friendly wave.
"Must be nice for all the Toulon Puppets to be together again."
Pinhead nodded.
Elizabeth looked over at Jinkx wanting to ask something.
"So this might be crossing a line but I have to ask for curiosity..how have you gone about with.. retrieving the ingredients used for their elixir?"
"I haven't."
Elizabeth nodded.
"Right...it's just..I'm running low on my supply and er."
Pinhead could tell she was worried about having to ask.
"Do you know of any.. alternative ingredients? I'm sure you've read the journal by now that was in the trunk and know what they need but I just don't feel right about having them have to kill for brain matter."
Jinkx soon left and returned pushing a trolley like device with a heavy chest and hands Elizabeth a key.
"This is all known research from your grandfather, I don't understand it, maybe you might."
Elizabeth nodded.
"Yeah my grandfather God rest his soul was certainly a odd one. I'll see what I can do.
She was curious as to how Jinkx came into possession of her grandfather's things but knew her grandmother when given a chance had sold most of his things after his death.
Probably because she didn't like to be reminded of him but that was another drama altogether.
Upon opening the trunk she noticed various papers and bottled chemicals.
"Oh boy. This is going to take a while." She said seeing how cryptic the writing was.
She could see why Jinkx couldn't understand it.
"I'm not even going to touch the chemicals. God knows what they are or how old they are or even if they're still usable." She said picking up the various papers.
"Guess I'll start with the pages."
