[Oh! He's back to broadcasting video! At least for this occasion. For anyone who saw him while he was detoxing: he looks much healthier now. More color to his skin, no sheen of cold sweat. His eyes are still ringed by dark circles, given his ongoing insomnia, but he no longer seems like he's on death's doorstep. His tremors are less pronounced, only occasionally noticeable. Slow improvement... which doesn't include his mood. He doesn't look much like he wants to be talking right now. He's grumpy and tired, damn it.]

Yo. I'm Jesse, for you guys that showed up this last time. Real quick just wanted to say: we do this thing every month, like... getting together to bake cookies for the new guys. It's pretty big, so we use a few different kitchens, but I got all the supplies and ingredients and everything...

Anyway. It's almost that time again. Collette's all on my ass so I guess I'm back to running things. I was thinking we'd get together - what is it? - uhh... 30th. Yeah, 30th. Room 409. You can come even if you don't know how to make cookies. It's real easy, I'll show you and we all kinda do it together.

Then, on the 1st, I set up a tent outside and give 'em away. You can help out there, too, if you want. It's pretty cold and wet, though, so that sucks. No pressure. Don't have to hang out the whole time or anything.

...Yeah. So.


((OOC note: this does overlap with the upcoming mission, which Jesse won't be going on.))

I can get behind this tradition.

[hostage]

Yeah? It's pretty fun.

[...not that you can tell from his lifeless tone. Wow, such enthusiasm.]

[marbled]

Can I come help again?

[ It was a lot of fun for Anna, bloody rabbit carcasses aside. ]

[hostage]

Sure, yeah. And thanks again for last time, too.

[marbled]

I enjoyed it.

[ She's sure the others did too, even if she retreated to being quiet during most of it. ]

I think the others did too. [ Her clan, she means. ] Maybe I can invite them.

[courageous_wit]

That's a lovely idea, Jesse. I would love to help out.

[hostage]

Awesome.

[He looks quite cheered at the thought of having Hermione on the team.]

[courageous_wit]

We should serve butterbeer as well. It's a popular drink in my world that's wonderful for cold or wet weather.

[devilsfruitdoctor]

Oh! I'd like to help with that!

[hostage]

You're on.

[fintastic]

I'd like to help! I can cook, and I can help you hand them out too!

[hostage]

Yeah? Cool. Remember to wear something warm out there. It gets colder than you think, being out there all day.

[fintastic]

I always do! Hey, would you mind if I bring some of the leftover guides along? I don't have many, but some people might like them!

[video]

[galactically]

I'll gladly help you out, Jesse! Such a delicious idea with the cookies, by the way.

[hostage]

Thanks. And hey, yeah, we'd be lucky to have you.

[galactically]

You should be! After all, Sheryl Nome is taking part in this special gathering.

[She chuckles amiably, teasing voice in effect.]

What about other foods and entertainment? I can bring both.

[judgmental]

I'm glad you'll be continuing the tradition. As I said, it's very civic minded of you. I'm rather busy myself, so I don't believe I'll make it. [Also, he really doesn't want to make cookies with people.]

I do hope you're feeling better. [Yuri watches most posts people make, he just doesn't comment often. But he's interested in Jesse.]

[hostage]

[Jesse would honestly be really surprised if this dude did have any interest in baking cookies.]

Oh - yeah. Thanks, yeah. I don't wanna say it wasn't a big deal, 'cause people shouldn't go around testing that stuff, but... Yeah, I'm getting better.

[payback]

Don't get sick.

[hostage]

Yeahhh... I'll try.

[He's not looking forward to it.]

[payback]

I guess there are worse ways to go than dying of cookie-related bad-weather-induced illness.

Y'told me you'd show me a microwave. [Most pointed look ever. This is also Ygritte showing that she's glad you're not dead.

--Mostly glad.]

[hostage]

Your place or mine?

[perdre]

... I had no idea people did that around here. [beat.] It's a nice idea.

[hostage]

Yeah? It's just a little something. Ain't a big deal.
