[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.

[hostage]

The more the merrier, yo.

[marbled]

Alright.... yo. [ She adds that on just to test it. Does she sound cool too? ]

[hostage]

[His face cracks into a smile. Wow, that was adorable.]

[courageous_wit]

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

[marbled]

The thirtieth is a little under a week from now, isn't it?

[ This whole month has passed by so quick. ] They really do come every month on the same day?

[hostage]

Awesome.

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

[hostage]

Yup, yeah. So far.

[courageous_wit]

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

[hostage]

Is there any place to get it here?

[courageous_wit]

I'm not sure... But I read a cookbook on how to make it once. I could try that.

[hostage]

Ah, yeah. You need me to pick up ingredients?

[courageous_wit]

That would be lovely. [rattles off the list of ingredients] I think I should make only enough for one drink at first, to be sure it comes out properly.

[hostage]

Wow, totally not what I thought it'd be.

[From the sound of the ingredients, at least.]

[courageous_wit]

You were expecting a higher alcohol content? You'd want firewhiskey for that.

[hostage]

I guess we don't wanna get too intense, anyway. Kids might be drinking this stuff.

[courageous_wit]

My friends and I have been drinking butterbeer since we were thirteen. It should be fine for any children who come through.

[hostage]

Right on.

[That's a lot better than what he was drinking when he was thirteen.]

[devilsfruitdoctor]

Oh! I'd like to help with that!

[fintastic]

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

[galactically]

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