[Video/Action][2nd Note][Jammy Dodgers]

[teacuptarget]

[There's a teenager dressed in a sweater vest with an apron over it on the screen, and he gives an almost shy little wave as if he still feels awkward making posts. In fact, he does. He's standing in the kitchen at Sigyn house, and he has quite a few trays of cookies set out on counters. They all look to be the same kind, with slight variations like different amounts of jam on them or slightly different amounts of browning, etc.

He waves a hand around himself. As well as the cookies, there are a few notebooks lying around, with lots of scribbling on them, as he's worked on the recipe.]

Excuse me, everyone, but I'm afraid I'm need of help. See, I've been baking this type of cookie that isn't my specialty, and I'm not entirely sure which of these batches that I've made is the best. I want to get it absolutely right because they're for a friend, so could anyone please come try some for me? They're called "jammy dodgers" and are kind of like shortbread cookies with jam, so if you're familiar with them especially, I'd appreciate a critique. I'm at Sigyn House.

[Pause.]

Doctor, you can come try some too, but we have to save at least some for the party, okay? Otherwise I'll feel like I didn't give you anything!

Comments

[teacuptarget]

[Sheepishly.] Ah, I tend to do that.

[extradite]

Being your friend, they won't tell you whether they really dislike them, anyway.

[teacuptarget]

I don't think he's that kind. I think he's more... the kind who would blurt it out and then kind of be like 'sorry'. But I could be wrong.

[extradite]

...do you also spend a lot of time pondering this person's reactions?

[teacuptarget]

Well, yeah?

[Pause.]

But not just him of course. After I talk to someone, I make notes about them, and then think about the things they've said and put together information that they've given me, and... well, that sort of thing.

[extradite]

You... take... notes.

[teacuptarget]

Of course! It helps me remember everything. Especially here, in a place this big with so many people, particularly people who come and go. In some cases I have to make sure I note when someone does or doesn't remember me, and I've been trying to compile a profile on the "other me" who was here before.

[extradite]

Have you thought how... unusual that might seem? To other people? Being - written about? Studied so closely?

[teacuptarget]

Well, it's not like I share them with anyone. Or do it to be mean or cause any kind of trouble. I just... want to be able to make friends and get to know people...

[extradite]

It's only - your methods...

oh thanks now I realize what a creeper Gau is lol

[teacuptarget]

Do you think it would really bother most people? Just to be kept track of that way, instead of mentally, when people can easily forget names and faces and such?

sob GAU, DO THE CREEP.

[extradite]

...I think you shouldn't tell anyone you do this. Ever again.

[teacuptarget]

Ah, o-okay.... I'm sorry if I upset you...

[extradite]

You didn't. It's not as if you'll write anything about me, so that's fine.

I just fell out of my chair

[teacuptarget]

[Gau looks down at the notebook in his hand, and is suddenly very glad they are not communicating via video. Oops.]

Ah, no, of course I wouldn't do such a thing...

..oh, Gau T_T

[extradite]

...then it's all right, isn't it?

I feel like I should apologize somehow *snicker*

[teacuptarget]

I guess so, yes!

[Pause.]

Are you sure you won't come have a cookie? I'd like to do something for you, since you were so kind in talking to me.

[Let's just forget the screaming portion of the conversation.]

Gau will be Gau : ( b

[extradite]

Don't people usually talk to you?

lol yes and Gau's a derp

[teacuptarget]

Well, yes, but they're not always so nice and helpful either. Especially after I yell at them!
