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. ]

That would work. And yes, giant foods will have to wait until then, sadly!

[bravefighter]

Maybe we could find one in the shop sometime!

[acuity]

Would they really carry something like that, though...?

[bravefighter]

Dunno! They carry a lot of other stuff, don't they?

[acuity]

It might depend on how big the oven would be.

But I wonder if it's possible to make one ourselves...

[bravefighter]

Do you think we could pull that off?

[acuity]

If there's a book about it, I could do research! Oven-making for beginners. I'm sure it exists.

... Maybe.

[bravefighter]

Well... we can always keep an eye out for it! It's worth a shot, anyway.

[acuity]

Next time I go to the library, I'll look for it. And do let me know if you find anything, too.

[bravefighter]

Yeah, I'll definitely be sure to! It sounds like it'd be fun, anyway.

[acuity]

I think so, too...

[ ... wow is that smoke billowing out of the oven there. ]

[bravefighter]

[Whoa...]

Uh... is it done... ?

[acuity]

P... probably. Would you like to do the honors and find out?

[bravefighter]

Uh... guess I could, yeah...

[he'll... nervously grab a fork. Oh boy?

And taking a bite.

And standing there.]

[acuity]

[ WATCHING EXPECTANTLY

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?? :V ]

[bravefighter]

2/2 whoops

[bravefighter]

[brb RUNNING TO THE BATHROOM]

[acuity]

Red? R-red, what--

[ ... WELL THERE HE GOES, NOW WHAT. ]

[bravefighter]

[At least he's not gone too long. He comes back a little bit later. Augh.]

W-We should throw this away...

[acuity]

... That bad, is it.

[ looking sadly at caketastrophe, WE TRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAAAAR. ]

[bravefighter]

[IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER...]

Y-Yeah...

I'm sure we'll do better next time... ! [Maybe...]

[acuity]

I should hope so! Maybe that's enough cooking experiments for the day. I'll treat you at the bakery for the help.

[bravefighter]

Probably yeah. You don't gotta treat me, though. It was still fun!

[other than the end result. WHICH IS WHY BAKERY IS FINE... no more appetite.]

[acuity]

But you did take the... the bite for me. That deserves repayment!

[ also shh forgetting everything is free anyway 6_9 ]

[bravefighter]

Well... maybe just keep practicing! Pay me back with someone good that you made.

[shhhh]
