Okay first off, before y'all start yelling at me, I been assured that we got plenty of supplies for this and I ain't cutting into our rations. Everybody's been doing a good job going on missions and bringing us stuff, so thanks for that. You guys are awesome.

So most of you know what I'm gonna say next: it's almost time to bake cookies. New guys, the deal is that we usually do this every month. It's a little something to help new arrivals feel better about being stuck here. We get together, we bake cookies, and then we pass 'em out on the first of the month and talk for a while with anybody who's got questions or needs a shoulder to cry on or whatever. It's just a nice thing we try to do.

Last month sucked but we're picking it back up again now, so anybody who wants to help out, we'll be having ourselves a little Halloween party in the cafeteria and baking all night. It's fun. You don't gotta be no master chef or nothing, I'll help you out.

And speaking of that, too - I heard some people ain't been eating right 'cause they don't know how to cook. That's messed up, yo. Don't stay quiet about something like that, okay. Ask for help. Nobody wants you starving and getting sick up here. If you can't cook for yourself, just come and find me. I'll make you something. You won't be bothering me 'cause I'm bored outta my mind anyway. I'm in 144 right now, so you can stop by or leave a message. Jesse Pinkman. It says right there on your screen.

Aight, I'm done.
hyanaimne: Rest here. (Esta sinome.)

My, this is a pleasant thing to see. I am glad that you are still doing it, dear.
hyanaimne: Until then. (Tenna' san'.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-10-22 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

Though I must ask, what is a Halloween?
hyanaimne: Meeting. (Aelou.)

[she looks a bit confused still as she thinks it over]

What is the purpose of it, though? Holidays have meaning, do they not?
hyanaimne: Perhaps. (Maethe.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-10-22 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
How strange . . .
vaccination: (nostalgic.)

[Good to hear he's getting back to the cookie thing.]

We don't have to dress up, right?
hyanaimne: You are king in your imagination. (Lle naa haran e' nausalle.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-10-22 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[she snorts quietly]

Is that what people dress up as? Monsters?
vaccination: (dreams.)

[personal profile] vaccination 2013-10-22 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, good. Why wear costumes for candy when we have Steph, right?

And I guess I'll come lend a hand. [Nothing else to do, and... well, Other-Ellie had let her make off with a ton of cookies, last time. Gotta pay it forward or something.]
hyanaimne: Destiny. (Nanta.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-10-22 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [it sounded . . . interesting, at least. Such strange customs in these worlds]

So theoretically, I could dress up as you, yes?
kyoumibukai: (not happy)

[He seems to be taking video from a sort of nest or web of yarn that is wrapped all around him. His eyes have dark circles underneath them and his eyes are searching like he's reading.]

Jesse Pinkman, hailing from the same universe as Skyler White and Saul Goodman, former drug addict turned chemist with a surprising amount of resources for someone who was once a petty criminal.

[He refocuses on the screen, giving a pale wheeze of a smile.]

Hello, I am Philip. I am uninterested in baking, unless you need help resizing a recipe for bulk, which I can do quickly. However, I have been finding it difficult to eat beyond the most basic bodily nutrients. I tend to hyperfocus on gathering data and forget that my body demands sustenance, and I find it difficult to concentrate on cooking even when at my best. Which I am not.

[He presses his lips together.]

I am not fond of asking for help, especially not of strangers, though most people on the base are no longer complete strangers to me due to my complete readthrough of the public network and most weakly encrypted files. But I am having difficulty functioning without my support network and access to the Gaia Library and if I am given a protocol of what to do about my issues with acquiring food, it would be greatly helpful to me.

[He blinks owlishly at the screen, falling silent in a stark contrast to his previous rapid-fire speech.]

If you'll excuse me, I am cold.

[He turns off the feed.]
hyanaimne: Listen to my laughter. (Lasta lalaithamin.)

I do not think you would be a lame costume, per say, but I do not think I am up for shaving my head.

That'll be extra-nice for the people getting here this month...
hyanaimne: Lovely one. (Lirimaer.)

My hair is a mess and I need to dye it.

But, I will be there to help with cookies. You still need to show me, yes?

What's better, extra cookie dough or extra cookies?
kyoumibukai: (i stayed up all night)

[Im sorry... for this....]

[The feed turns back on, and from the way that the light plays across his face in a very particular pattern, it's clear that he's inside the ventilation system.]

I'm sorry, was I unclear? Can you give me a list of some sort of protocols for acquiring food without the ability to reliably cook, and without having to steal it? Which I have done, I apologize to anyone watching this feed who went to get their food and found it missing.

Based on the angry notes I saw on the fridge and the increasingly emphatic writing of names on foodstuffs, I feel that people were getting upset. Though, of course, I will not take all the blame, I have seen three or four additional people stealing food in my time in the vents.

[Guess who looks super happy to see this post???]

Hey, I was gonna ask if you were planning to do it this month. [After what Ellie said in September.] I'll be there to help, and feel free to call me if you need an extra hand cooking for people.
