6th Hat

[busy_fists]

[Well, anyone who knows Dad probably saw this coming a mile away.  Delicious chocolate-based baked goods?  Yes please.  He bought a big heaping helping from some of the drone kids that morning, and can be found in several places in Mayfield suffering the band candy's effects during the events of the weekend.]

[Action; around Mayfield]

[Being the grandson of a legendary prankster himself, Dad has always had a certain affinity for jokes, gags, japes, and shenanigans, going back even further than trying to please his son John by filling the house with harlequins.  In fact, one could say he was even more serious about this hobby in the carefree days of his youth.  Back when clowning seemed like a pretty attractive and realistic long-term career aspiration.  Watch out, citizens of Mayfield, there's a prankster on the loose!

So today, all throughout town, Dad can be found looking much like this, except with the addition of a jester's cap in place of his normal hat.  He's playing all sorts of practical jokes on anyone and everyone he can find.  Besides throwing a lot of pies, this also includes just about every silly Looney Tunes style prank you could imagine - buckets of water perched on doorways, ringing doorbells and hiding in the bushes, lighting smoke bombs and putting them in peoples' mailboxes, replacing their doorbells with the prank kind that shoot water... all that sort of thing.]

[Action; Achewood Bakery]

[Later on in the day, Dad decides to actually show up for work.  And it looks like he's brought someone with him.  He'll still be doing his job... more or less.  You're just going to have to get past the fact that the two of them are spending most of the day making out on top of the bakery counter.  Oh, and anyone who orders cookies?  Regardless of how hot and heavy things are getting on the counter, Dad finds the time to pull a pie seemingly out of nowhere and throw it in your face.  Pies and cakes are superior to cookies - geez, everyone knows that.]

((OOC: Anyone who picks the bakery prompt may get tags from either Dad, Mom, or both.))

...Bread, huh? All right. Hold on.

[Dad jumps off the counter, heading into the back for a minute. He comes back with two loaves of white bread.]

Are these ones okay?

[solarhussyalert]

Oh, um, I think so. As long as Miakis didn't make it it should be okay.

[busy_fists]

Well, I baked those ones myself, so they should be okay.

[solarhussyalert]

There was no monkey business in the baking of them?

[busy_fists]

Of course not. I take baking very seriously.

[solarhussyalert]

I just ask because I see a LOT of it out here.

[busy_fists]

The bread is fine, I promise.

[solarhussyalert]

Well... Just.. You may scare customers away like that!

[busy_fists]

Who'd be scared of a little kissing? There's nothing scary about love.

[solarhussyalert]

That's more than a LITTLE kissing!

[busy_fists]

I don't care who knows about it.

[solarhussyalert]

But OTHER people may not want to see that!

[flail]

[busy_fists]

Then they can go to a different bakery.

[solarhussyalert]

There AREN'T any other bakeries!

[busy_fists]

Well, that is a problem!

[solarhussyalert]

Yes it IS!

[busy_fists]

Maybe I should close up early.

[solarhussyalert]

Or get someone to cover for you!

[busy_fists]

Yeah, maybe that scientist-looking guy or the pony with the cowboy hat he has with him sometimes.

[solarhussyalert]

I don't know who those people are... BUT that is a GOOD IDEA if you are going to be all lovey dovey!

[busy_fists]

Well, guess we're closing early today, then.

[solarhussyalert]

I guess its good I got my bread then. I'll let you close up.
