Do alarms like that normally happen here? It was quite a wake-up call! I'm glad I wasn't drafted, but...

[ she's pretty concerned about people who are. Platina glances worriedly off to the side, then turns back to the feed. ]

I hope they'll be all right. In the meantime... does anyone know how to make a cake?

[ pointing the camera at her disastrous-looking attempt. yyyyes, wrong canon, but the girl is not a cook! it's her birthday and she wants cake damnit o9" also action is cool for anyone living in pokehouse too. ]

[ she pokes the fork at it AND IT TOTALLY DOES NOT SO THERE.

okay now, mustering the guts to go through with this. she picks up a forkful, wincing. HERE GOES... ]

[mischiefbreeder]

[...sigh. He can't watch this. He intercepts her, grabbing her wrist before she manages to bring the fork to her mouth.]

Stop. Seriously.

[leadinglady]

Wh... you told me to do it!

[ ssssecretly relieved. but that is a secret! ]

[mischiefbreeder]

If I told you to go skydiving off a Fearow into the Western Tohjo Ocean, would you do that too?

[...Gold himself might do it.]

[leadinglady]

Of course n...

... Well, skydiving does sound like it would be an interesting experience...

[mischiefbreeder]

...I guess it does, hu--

[mischiefbreeder]

Not the point!

[leadinglady]

It isn't?

[mischiefbreeder]

You're not supposed to do something just because someone told you to.

[leadinglady]

Obviously not. But I made this, after all, so I know what went into it!

[ also her pride is on the line. ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Then what went into it?

[leadinglady]

... I can't remember all the ingredients off the top of my head, obviously. But it's in the cookbook, I could show you!

[mischiefbreeder]

Then do it. [Seriously just let him take you to the bakery to get a real cake--]

[leadinglady]

[ she's about to reach for the cookbook, but just. heaves a sigh. well, who was she kidding. ]

Well... I suppose you're right. That's beside the point.

[mischiefbreeder]

Great, great! Now let's go get you a cake the likes of which you've never tasted before!

[leadinglady]

I'd like that! Though I have to wonder how the bakers here would compare to my personal chefs...

[mischiefbreeder]

Personal chefs, right... Well, I'm sure the guys here're up to snuff for you!

[leadinglady]

I'd like to see if that's true!

[ cheerfully leading the way out of the house and downtown then. CAKEQUEST GO o/ ]

[mischiefbreeder]

[OH NO YOU DON'T Gold is leading the way, and he runs ahead to take that spot!]

Away we go, then!

[leadinglady]

[ just because she's a lady doesn't mean she can't lead! but okay she'll side-eye him a little before following. why not! ]

[mischiefbreeder]

[AWAY WE GO TO THE BAKERY! /insert music here]

So it's your birthday then, huh?

[leadinglady]

According to the calendar here, it is. I'm certain there's a time disparity between Luceti and home.

[mischiefbreeder]

Maybe, but there's no point in stressin' your mind over somethin' like that.

[leadinglady]

I suppose not. It's just a little strange.

... How long have you been here again?

[mischiefbreeder]

Way too long.
