Video

[ There's a little bit of fiddling around with his tablet. In fact he's not even looking at the screen for a good fifteen seconds as the video records his dumb face, before he finally looks up and gives it a bright and cheery grin! Gonna keep positive despite all the recent going ons of this place. ]

Well hello there, folks! It's been some time since I made one of these public announcements. Er, do they count as announcements? I suppose they are announcements of sorts. Can't say I've had much of a reason to, but it's been--

[ Looking back down at the tablet for another few quiet seconds. ]

Egads! Has it really been that long? I see it was with Miss Lalonde. What I wouldn't do to see that gal again. She'd know how to liven up the moment.

Which reminds me why I booted up this old computer in the first place. In light of recent incidents it might seem rather inappropriate to ask such a questions, but I do feel rather chagrin even bringing the whole thing up! But I'm looking to procure myself a cake, and possibly a few party goers if anyone's interested. You see today's date happens to be a personally big one for yours truly. Seems today I've not only made it to the ripe old age of seventeen, but I've reached my first full year here in this particular universe. Like a grim anniversary of sorts, but just because the occasions grim doesn't mean it can't be treated as an occasion to celebrate!

Action!

[ It takes him just a smidgeon longer, what with all the conversations about the party to distract him, but he will eventually get down to the kitchen and tuck his tablet away for a bit. ]

So what do we have so far for this cake baking excursion?

[fintastic]

Not much...

[ She comes up with most of the more basic ingredients, the flour, the eggs, the baking powder. But not chocolate or vanilla extract. ]

Do you know anyone who has chocolate?

[gunsling]

[ Well it's a good start. That's more than he expected when he first asked. ]

Afraid I don't. I did ask a pal of mine to swing by the kitchen, and if we're in luck she might have something along those lines to toss in the pot. I'll certainly keep my fingers crossed for it.

[fintastic]

Oooh, who's coming??

[ She keeps looking, though now she seeks out a step stool to get at the higher cabinets. ]

[Speak of the devil. Just a few seconds after Feferi asks, Nill wanders into the kitchen. It takes her a second to spot Jake, but when she does she wanders over immediately, waving her free hand. In the other she seems to have a plastic bag, the sort you might find at a grocery store, if there were... grocery stores here.]

[ Speak of the devil indeed! Jake eagerly gives a return wave. ]

There she is right now! Feferi, may I introduce my buddy, Nill.
