002 Video/Action for Freyr

[classifidol]

[ there's certainly been a lot of grumbling about cupcakes recently, and Takane has... words.

... She also has an apron, her hair pulled back into a ponytail, and a mango in her hand that she's concentrating on peeling. Yes, dear audience, she may be addressing you, but the mango has her attention. ]

A solicitous greeting, current inhabitants of this plane. May your expeditions both in the realms of culinary and culture venture forth with favorable results.

[ peeeeeeel. ]

I had hoped you would reach an understanding by your own merit, but I will offer you this thought.

Would you, perhaps, care to ponder what the salvation of a world and the baking of exquisite treats share?

((OOC: Work in fifteen, so tags will come tonight! Also making mango cupcakes, awwyeah. She'll happily welcome taste-testers.))

ACTION IT IS

[classifidol]

What struggle faces you?

\o/

[sora_wo_koete]

Well, it's... I don't know if I've measured the ingredients out correctly.

[ In other words, everything ]

[classifidol]

... May I? Or would you prefer improvisation?

[sora_wo_koete]

[ Blink blink. ]

Hm? Ah... sure?

[classifidol]

[ moving over to supervise her station. ] What were you creating?

[sora_wo_koete]

Chocolate cupcakes. The batter's consistency isn't coming out correctly. Perhaps I'm not putting in enough chocolate...

[classifidol]

How much flour did you measure?

[sora_wo_koete]

... half a cup, I think? And four cups of chocolate...

[classifidol]

... Your cupcakes will be richer than the crimson leaves at the height of Autumn with that amount. I would not express concern over adding further.

[sora_wo_koete]

I... see? [ That must be quite rich indeed. Maybe. Unless Takane's metaphors have gone into INCOMPREHENSIBILITY HYPERDRIVE and Chihaya missed the point. ] Should I add more milk, then?

[classifidol]

It might be wise to thin the consistency.

[ means yes. ]

[sora_wo_koete]

[ Chihaya nods, and moves to pour the milk- but pauses ]

Shouldn't I put in water instead? What if it becomes too... milky?

[classifidol]

To question an initial judgment will only render the product lacking. We can always adjust after experimentation.

[sora_wo_koete]

I suppose you're right... I shouldn't keep questioning everything.

[ WELP, IN THE MILK GOES. The batter no longer has the consistency of fudge ]

[classifidol]

You might do well to learn from Haruka.

[ there, that's less problematic. ]

[sora_wo_koete]

... this sort of event WOULD be right up her alley. [ It's been a good number of weeks since she's seen her friend, after all... ]

[classifidol]

Haruka understands the principle behind delicious meals.

[sora_wo_koete]

She really does. I wish I'd paid more attention whenever she talked about how she'd make pastries...

[classifidol]

There will be time to inquire instruction from her later.

[sora_wo_koete]

... that's true. Once we leave, or once she... comes here, too... [ Oh, they'll have a LOT of catching up to do when Chihaya sees her again ]

[classifidol]

Either is possible.

[sora_wo_koete]

... ah.

[ Chihaya catches herself. ]

Though if too many of our friends come over here, 765 Pro would end up depopulated back home, wouldn't it.

[classifidol]

I suspect Ritsuko might be displeased.

[sora_wo_koete]

To say the least.

... I'm starting to understand how she feels just by being here, to be honest.

[classifidol]

You are still stressed?
