[Hooray, Jesse is finally awake and home after his half-week holiday with hookers and meth. This of course means he's looking extra groggy, red around the eyes, and not exactly the most cheerful. Which makes the following message a little dissonant:]

Hey, so... - Hey, hi, I'm Jesse. If you're new.

Anyway, um, I know I talked to a few of you earlier about maybe some baking lessons? I was thinking probably, since in a couple weeks we'll have a whole 'nother shipment of new guys, we'll practice making cookies for 'em.

Some of you saw me this last time, right? I had like this whole setup with a tent? I was thinking we could do that again, but bigger this time. Or if you don't wanna be out in the cold all day, we could set up in the lobby downstairs, like right when people come in to find their units? I dunno. I'm just thinking out loud.

Anybody into that, though? Like on the 28th or something we get together and make some cookies? Assuming nobody bombs us or anything.

Well, I guess, but it's not exactly - hey, are you alright?

[hostage]

Yeah. What were you saying?

[motioned]

Oh, just that it's not really a priority for me, being able to bake! So it's okay if I don't know how.

[hostage]

I guess, when you put it like that... Just don't want you feeling all left out.

[motioned]

Oh, it'd take more than that to make me feel left out, don't worry! Maybe I could bring some flour or sugar or butter or whatever you need?

[hostage]

Hey, if you wanna donate. It's starting to sound like a pretty big group, so I don't wanna run out of stuff.

[motioned]

That sounds great! So, the 28th? Um, what's the number of your apartment?

[hostage]

Yup. It's 409.

[motioned]

Okay! Could you, like, maybe make a list of stuff you might need? So I know what to get!

[hostage]

Well, I'm gonna go on a little shopping trip, and I'll let you know if there's stuff I couldn't get enough of. I don't want you going too far outta your way.

[motioned]

Oh, you don't have to worry about that! I'm sure I could find anything you need if I looked hard enough.
