[Lucas has been experimenting with some different baking techniques it seems. When the video comes on he isn't wearing that signature hat of his, and even his face is smeared with what seems like flour or dough. He has a wooden spoon in his hand that he waves around from time to time as he talks.]

Is anyone here really good at baking? I've been experimenting with different ways of making poffins, ones that look exactly like certain Pokemon to be exact.

[He reaches to grab one and shows it to the camera. Uwah it resembles a Shinx!]

Well? What do you think? Is it too much?

[ She sounds rather better than the last time they talked. ]

I'm not that much good with baking, but I could still try to help you.

[ Looking at the poffin. ] Hm, that one looks nice.

[Audio]

[fortitudo]

[Lucas sounds better too of course.]

Oh thanks! I'm trying all different kinds! I'd love some help.

[burntviolet]

When would you like me to come over then? I'm sort of free today...

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

I don't think so, I think it looks really cool!

You'll have to teach me how you did that!

[Voice]

[fortitudo]

Come on, you don't even know how to make poffins?

[TEASING A BIT.]

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Well...maybe a little?

[If you don't count the times she burnt them]

But they're not as great as yours so you still have to teach me!

[Voice]

[linkedtogod]

Too much in what way--design?

[Voice]

[fortitudo]

Something like that, do you like it though?

[Voice]

[linkedtogod]

If I knew what it was. [ He can only say it looks interesting. ] What is it made of?

I don't know if I'll be any help, but my Mom and Dad are bakers so I can bake bread. [....] Um, kind of. I help out sometimes.

[Though he looks slightly perplexed. Are poffins a type of bread? They look similar enough!]

But you said that's a Pokemon, right? What kind is it?

video

[fortitudo]

[aw yes baker and baker time.]

Oh you know about Pokemon....? [a pause.] Well I guess with all the trainers around here with Pokemon it's only natural others would know.

It's a Shinx!

[digifan]

[The messiest bakers!]

Yeah, a kid named Barry taught me about them! So you must be a trainer too, huh?

[Give him a moment to pull a sketchbook and a few pencils from his pocket.]

That's a cool name for such a cute little guy. I think it looks good! Not that I, er, really know what it's supposed to look like.

[fortitudo]

[the most moe!]

Isn't it? I worked really hard on it.

[integrous]

It shows! You put so much detail into it, it really looks like.. [ ... ] Like...

[ Okay, so maybe she can't figure it out.. ]

Is it some sort of cat?

[inncinerate]

Oh, it's so cute.. but how's it taste?

[ yukiko no don't give baking advice stop ]

video.

[fortitudo]

[...he's oblivious to what she's capable of.]

It tastes really good! I made this one to be more sweet, but I can make different kinds that are sour or spicy, or whatever.

[predestination]

Woooooow! That's so cute! [ANIMAL(???) SHAPED BAKED GOODS. HER ONE TRUE KAWAII WEAKNESS.......]

What are they made from?

video;

[fortitudo]

[he brings all the moes to the yard.]

They're just a pastry- and this one I made is sweet but, I can make other kinds like sour or bitter ones.

You really think it's cute though?

( video )

[competition]

... It's cute. [ It's kind of disgusting.

What kind of guy are you, Lucas?! THIS ISN'T MANLY--no, I'm kidding. Red obviously thinks it's nice and awesome. ] Which Pokemon is it supposed to be?

( video )

[fortitudo]

[you're disgusting.]

Oh right, I forgot you're not from my region. It's a Shinx! An electric-type even.

video;

[considerate]

I think you did really well with that one. Have you tried making any others?

[it looks exactly like a shinx! which means too cute to eat ]

video;

[fortitudo]

Not yet, I'm trying to do that right now.

[no one will want to eat them they'll be so cute.]

[selfestheim]

Baking? Uh... all I know is from watching people make stuff at the café...

[fortitudo]

You should practice! It's pretty great once you get into it.
