Who: Duke and ANYONE
Where: Plaza
When: All week! Monday and Tuesday at intervvals but... just about any time day/night for the rest of the week o/
Style: Brackets, but if you want action, I WILL FOLLOW

[ So Sunday had been a particularly bad day for Duke, although it did end up with him eating a bit more than usual because wow, it should not have been that easy for him to get knocked down-

But monday morning felt fine. Mostly because he got hit with the curse, and once again was able to sprout wings and... ignore any normal needs. Although he did find it a little harder to talk this time... Perhaps he was a different sort of angel? Still had a crystal... Oh well.

This mostly left him with a great deal more hours than he had for the past weeks, and so the ordo-Zel house is swiftly filled with the smells of apples and baking... Because if he remembers the days right, then this is close to that gift-giving holiday and...

He can't really think of much.

The problem with a full twenty four hours to spend doing something is that he ends up with way more apple pies than he has people he knows. Everyone Duke knows the name of gets 1(one) Apple Pie with 1(one) slightly magicked pie tin. The tin will keep the pies at a nice warm temperature, and will do this again if they are cooked in the pie tin. Something to do with "absorbing and storing heat from the oven and giving it slowly back over time", the note explains. Don't make cold pies in this tin, obviously.

This does leave a great deal of pies left over, and after some thought, Duke takes them to the plaza and the coral. This was newcomer time, wasn't it?

Now there's a table with pies, notes attached explaining "keep-warm pie tins", and a small paper sign proclaiming them as free apple pies. Yup. ]

(OOC: FEEL FREE TO FIND HIM DELIVERING PIES TO CHARACTERS WHO HE KNOWS. Just mention "christmas" or something in your tag and I will know it is his gift-giving o/ ANYONE CAN GET PIES FROM THE PLAZA...

Duke is also a Symphonian Angel for this -)

[Yes, she is, deal with it]

By the way, Duke, what are you going to do with these pies if you don't give them to enough people in time?

[radiantwingedone]

... The formula will keep them warm and fresh for a day or two. Newcomer time is near thus...

[ Free pies for new people? ]

[needsmoregreen]

Ah, so you're planning on giving it to them?

[Hm...actually]

You know, I was planning on baking something with Zelda. Sooo....we can put the pies and the cookies together! I'm not sure might it be much to make them feel welcome but it's something right?

[radiantwingedone]

... Zelda is currently sleeping, but can make use of the kitchen if you would still like to.

[ By sleeping he means in a coma.. but that's where he's been doing his cooking. ]

Oh whoops, my bad! @_@

[needsmoregreen]

Say...it sounds like you're good at baking if you're able to make all this these pies...

What did you do to make all of them anyway? I tried to make cookies before but I'm starting to think that I'm cursed! They always come out burnt or just barely eat them! They never turn out quite right!

I think she was planned to wake up for christmas but ended up waking for new years, s'okay!

[radiantwingedone]

... Watched them. When looked golden, waited a little longer then removed.

[ He's just... patient. Sometimes. ]

/rolls with whatever we have!

[needsmoregreen]

Ehhhhh? You have a lot more patience than I do!

Whenever the cookies aren't that hard, I try to turn up the temperature thinking that it would!

[Whine]

Then I'll just have to wait some more next time.

[radiantwingedone]

... Baking is unlike boiling water.

[ Turning up the heat on soup was fine. Bread or cookies or pies? not so. ]

[needsmoregreen]

Then I'll just have to wait won't I?

But it gets frustrating when it doesn't harden up and it's still like that in the same temperature...

[radiantwingedone]

Patience.

... and some softness is apparently sought after.

[needsmoregreen]

[Huh]

Don't cookies taste better if they're crunchy though? I had a soft one before but I didn't think it was too good...

[Of course, this was something one of her friends made and it turned out just as bad]

And aren't soft ones harder to make too? You need to time it just right and if it doesn't turn out right, it turns into a crunchy one!

[radiantwingedone]

... there is crunchy due to nuts and crunchy due to char. Believe firm enough to pick up in one piece, soft enough to chew without crunching noises is preferred in those without nuts...

[needsmoregreen]

It seems like it's harder to do with nuts if you ask me...

[mumble mumble]

But then again, I never did anything like that before...

[radiantwingedone]

Following directions to letter tends to be a best option when first trying something.

[needsmoregreen]

And if it doesn't work...?

[Yup she's just cursed when it comes to cooking/baking]

[radiantwingedone]

...

[ Uhmn. ]

Find someone else to cook with, or cook for.

[needsmoregreen]

[Yup, she's cursed]

...It's starting to look that way...

I'm thinking that maybe cooking or baking isn't my thing...

[radiantwingedone]

[ If you're looking for someone to reassure you, Bianca, you should hug someone else. They'd do a better job. ]

[needsmoregreen]

[:T]

What about you? You think you can teach me how to do a better job on it?

[WHAT NOW DUKE?]

[radiantwingedone]

[ UH. ]

Perhaps. Am not the most skilled at things involving an oven.

[ but if you want to cook on an open fire, yes, he can help you there. ]

[needsmoregreen]

It's better than nothing right? If it's something then I'm sure it'll work somehow!

Besides, I think you're much better at me when it comes to the oven so I think you can teach me ...right?

[Or was she being a little too forward? Hm...]

[radiantwingedone]

[ Maybe she is, but Duke lacks social skills to be able to tell.

Or the feelings to care at the moment. ]

Can try, at least.

[needsmoregreen]

[Oh Duke]

Really? You'll try to help me out?

[her eyes widen with anticipation because...REALY?!]

[radiantwingedone]

... Did... not just say that?

[ He's pretty sure he did. ]

[needsmoregreen]

[Wait what?]

Uh...did you? Because it sounded like you did?

I could be wrong though!
