[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.

Cake's kinda hard to eat when you're walking around.

[dusk_and_dawn]

[Not for him it isn't.]

Cupcakes perhaps?

[hostage]

Hey, if you wanna make cupcakes, I don't think anybody'd complain.

[dusk_and_dawn]

But I know not how.

[hostage]

Ah... Guess we're stuck with cookies, then, 'cause neither do I.

[dusk_and_dawn]

I could look it up in the library. I had not thought to check for cookery.

[hostage]

They got cookbooks at the library?

[dusk_and_dawn]

Perhaps. I have not inquired. If so, it would certainly provide ample fodder for any lessons.

[hostage]

Huh... Yeah. Maybe we could do something new every month.

[dusk_and_dawn]

Perhaps holiday-themed? 'Twould be most festive.

[hostage]

I dunno what holidays they have here. I mean, other than the one we just had.

[dusk_and_dawn]

We can use our own. Or perhaps something simple, like a theme of spring and rebirth.

[hostage]

Well we all got different kinds of holidays, since we're from all over the place. But I like that, spring...

[dusk_and_dawn]

They could be decorated like flowers I suppose?

I generally just eat.

[hostage]

Yeah. We were talking about decorating 'em with frosting, anyway. Flowers could work.
