[It's good news when Jesse's looking unremarkable. Neither high nor sick. Just casually smoking a cigarette.]

Talk about the month from hell, yo, I mean seriously.

Anyway, it's getting close to the day so this is the usual announcement or whatever. For you guys that don't know: a bunch of us get together on the last day every month to bake cookies for the new guys, then we set up a tent outside on the 1st and give 'em out free. It's fun, we put on some music and relax and so on. Anybody who wants to come and help out is welcome. I got all the supplies and stuff here. If you wanna bring your own stuff too, that's cool.

We meet at my room - 409 - and then split off to different kitchens from there 'cause we usually need a lotta ovens. It'll be all day on the 31st. Um, but if you came last time, don't feel like you gotta come every time. It's like low commitment, you know? No pressure.



(( No baking log this month since I'll be busy, so handwaving that, but here's an example of what the newbie log thread will be like. No need for permission to participate! Jesse lets everyone help out and teaches anyone who doesn't know how to bake. ))

what sort?

[hostage]

Of cookies? All kinds

[wolfchild]

like what?

[hostage]

Whatever people feel like making like peanut butter or vanilla or chocolate chip or fudge

[wolfchild]

what is chocolate

[hostage]

It's got like cocoa and sugar and it tastes pretty rich and maybe a little bitter depending on the type

Looking to save more women in trouble? [When she spoke, her teasing tone held nothing but affection in it.]

[hostage]

[He smiles, a little embarrassed.]

I don't usually do a lotta saving. Last time was special.

[no_strings_attached]

[It was special? You might almost make her blush, Jesse!]

Then I should count myself lucky that you were there.

[hostage]

I guess.

[No, he's the one who's blushing.]

I'm just glad I could help.

[Let's not have them start making this a competition! They might have to get voters to have the final say!

As things are, she's smiling fondly at him. That gesture said it all. She really is fond of you, Jesse.]

I would like to make a contribution to your table, if you'd allow me.

[hostage]

I would be honored.

[It's been a few days now. A few very long days. This isn't the first time an injury like this has happened to her, but that doesn't make being forced to stay in one place any easier to deal with. The walls of this apartment are slowly closing in, and pretty soon, she's going to suffocate. Not to mention other things that are starting to grate on her.

So when this comes up on the network, she sees an opportunity.]

I know someone who can help. [A sentiment along the lines of, "Please get him away from me before I kill him" is implied somewhere in there.]

[hostage]

[He reads that tone loud and clear. People usually talk about Jesse like that, too.]

Oh yeah?

[accidentalrebellion]

He's a baker.

[And also, currently, a pain in the ass.]

[hostage]

Peeta, right?

[accidentalrebellion]

[That makes her pause for a second. Or two or three.]

You know him? [Shouldn't surprise her, though. After all, he always was the vastly more sociable one on this team.]

So you're the one in charge of the cookies. I didn't really think that looked like the touch of time traveling rebels. <[Not that this guy looks like much of a baker himself.]

I can lend a hand.

[hostage]

Well, hey, I mean... We are still kind of a bunch of time-traveling rebels. But that'd be awesome, yeah.

[khajidont]

Maybe I should say the guys in charge of the time-traveling rebels instead.

[hostage]

Yeah. Those guys don't get out much.

[khajidont]

Not so much, no. I'll see you there.

[taijiya]

Oh, I just learned how to make them from Thereth a few weeks ago. I'd love to help.

[hostage]

Great! Yeah, it's totally easy.

[taijiya]

Okay. I'll see you there, then.
