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 -)

Oh, that shouldn't be too hard if everything is just about the same! Let's see...

[She began adding some of the stuff to the bowl before looking back at the book.]

And then eggs and milk and oil...and vanilla...

[Pause]

Okay...I take that back, it's not that easy as it looks. But that's okay, you know why?

[Ahem!]

You can whistle while you work~

So hum a merry tune~

It won't take long when there's a song to help you set the pace~~♪

[radiantwingedone]

[ You can do that, Bianca. Duke won't be joining you in whistling while he measures out the liquid-y parts and starts mixing them. ]

Then add this to dry bowl. Mix until no dry pockets. [ He waited for a pause at least]

[needsmoregreen]

[:|

But yes, don't mind Bianca still humming whistle while you work as she continues to look at the book]

Okay then! [And off she goes mixing the stuff!] So far, everything really good! Just a couple more steps and everything will be okay!

[maybe]

[radiantwingedone]

[ He'll just watch as she mixes the two sets together-

and start the oven for preheating. That should be a thing he does.

... As well as get that water boiling. He may cheat with a bit of magic for that. Shush. ]

When cannot find any lumps, or powder, let me know.

[needsmoregreen]

[No cheating, Duke!

She looks at the boiling water before looking back at the older man. Hm...]

Well, I'm done but...what do you think?

[Honestly, there were still some lumps running around but over all...]

It's okay right?

Okay so I had never used hot water so i mixed up the order of things shhhh-

[radiantwingedone]

[ Its not cheating, its using his resources wisely. It would have taken a boring while to boil the water normally.

Duke takes the bowl to study it. Hrmn. No big pockets. Little lumps are okay. And some of them were bubbles, which was fine. ]

Wish to slowly pour? [ He won't feel the hurt if she splashes him with the hot water while mixing it slowly in so- ]

It's okay!

[needsmoregreen]

[It's still cheating in Bianca's mind!]

Okay then, let's just...do this slowly... [Now this was where Bianca was starting to feel the pressure. If she did this wrong, then things will go horribly wrong!

You can do this! Just...pour it...slowly...okay good...]

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke carefully uses that spoon to mix in that hot water, doing his best to keep his hand out of the way.

It wasn't much water, so it shouldn't take long. ]

[needsmoregreen]

[As steady as Bianca is, her grip on the bowl was starting to slip. Luckily though, there wasn't much left of the batter. When most of it was gone, Bianca let out a small sigh of relief]

Yay, we're almost done! We just need to bake it in and everything will be set! Once that's done....we can finally eat it and maybe share it with other people!

[Because hell yeah cake!]

NO FAIL

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke nods, checking the oven. ]

Set timer for 30 minutes.

[ He'll put the pans in the oven while she does that. ]

>>

[needsmoregreen]

Okay, we'll just need to put it in!

[With that, she quickly set on the timer for 30 minutes!]

You know, everything is going great so far! I was worried that something might happen to the cake like if there was going to be too much water or oil...or any of that stuff! But I'm just glad that things are going well!

[And you know...not burning]

[radiantwingedone]

... Following directions tends to prevent too little or too much of anything..

[ Why are you worried? Duke is going to clean up the bowls now. ]

[needsmoregreen]

[Because Bianca is use to being clumsy, something is going to happen!]

I guess but...now we just wait to wait for the next 30 minutes...what are we going to do until then?

[She could walk around the house to see what's Zelda's house is like...or play with her pokemon too...]

[radiantwingedone]

... Clean a little. Could pick out a cookie type, if wish to try cooking more, and begin collecting ingredients.

[needsmoregreen]

We can try some chocolate cookies if there are some leftovers running around! If not, we can always try to bake something else?

It's up to you, I'm good with whatever you want to do as long as we're baking together!

[You are now officially her lucky charm for baking!]

[radiantwingedone]

... Do not make cookies out of cake mix. [ That's what he understood from that comment, and if you've been doing that, then it makes sense why you've been failing- ]

Can look at what needs. [ So studying the book time is now- ]

[needsmoregreen]

[Mmaaayybbeee?]

Y-Yeah...I learned that when I tried to do something like that...

[But she leans over toward him]

Soooooo...what do you want to bake?

[radiantwingedone]

.... Have no particular interest in anything.

[ It was mostly ~do stuff to be busy~ really.

But he stops turning on a page with caramel-apple-oatmeal cookies. Are these above teh current skill level? ]

[needsmoregreen]

[As she looked more at the page, she narrowed her eyes at it. Hm...]

You want to make this? Do you think we're able to make this, it looks a little difficult!

But we can try, it's better than nothing right?

[radiantwingedone]

... at very least, caramel and apples go well together without being cooked.

[ Not that he can currently taste, but now is time to study how much they have of the ingredients.

they might need more sugar... ]

[needsmoregreen]

[As she looked the ingredients, she let out a big "HM...."]

Do we have enough for it? It looks like we're going to need a lot apples and caramel...and sugar. A lot of it!

[radiantwingedone]

.... would dried be necessary...

[ Fresh apple would be easier. ]

Do have fresh apples, but caramel.. no.

[needsmoregreen]

Hm...then we don't have much of a choice do we?

[Then looks at the entrance door]

We'll need to go shopping won't we? Or we can always find something else to use as a replacement for caramel!

[radiantwingedone]

.... Would like to use caramel. [ They have oatmeal. Duke checks that cylinder to make sure its what is required. ]

Wish to go, while I wait for oven to be done? Can make list.

[needsmoregreen]

Well, that is true...how much more do we need for it to be done?

We can make a list until then so...

[She quickly gets out her notebook and rips out a piece of paper with a pen]

We'll need Caramel...and what else?
