13th Adventure

[forever_cheery]

[Action A - Household, 7135 Brooks: Your kitchen is a total wreck today. Hurricane Aurora has passed though in an attempt to bake. There's flour everywhere, ingredients scattered, pots and pans overflowing the sink. The master baker herself is hovering (literally!) in the kitchen, looking over a recipe book. Her hair is tied up high on her head (as best as it could be), her apron has more flour on it than is probably used in recipes, and she's deep in thought as she mutters what she's reading aloud. ]

Let's see... oh no, did I add a tablespoon of the salt, or sugar?

[Being a ghost cook is suffering.]

[Action B: Brooks Street Out in front of their house, Aurora has set up a lovely little bake sale stand! It's decorated with colorful signs and flowers and streamers, and Aurora herself is all cleaned up and perfectly dressed. But the baked goods... Well, maybe they don't look as nice, but Aurora looks very excited for people to try them.

Here's the thing. Sometimes she got the recipe right. Sometimes she didn't. Maybe you got a good brownie or cookie, or maybe you didn't. Try at your own risk!]

--

[Action C - 1648 Albright Lane: There's a knock at the door! It's Aurora, looking a bit anxious and worried. She's carrying a small container of cookies, and she's looking to speak with Abel. Privately.]

[Nyanpire is out and about wandering when he detects tasty-tasty sugary smells. It's not long before he shows up on Brooks street, and he's very excited by what he sees.]

Nyaa! It's so pretty-pretty! It's a party? Is it a party?

[forever_cheery]

[Afdsgfdd talking adorable cat. Aurora is insta-charmed.]

Why thank you! No, it's just a bake sale.

[nyanpire]

Bake sale? What's a bake sale? Is it... is it...

[He has to think about this. Nyanpire isn't totally familiar with the idea. He frowns and taps a paw on his little chin... and then aha! Revelation!]

You sell tasty-tasty things, nyaa? Is that what a bake sale is?

[dumbfabric]

[Sweetie Belle approaches 7135 Brooks looking for Rarity but is distracted by a bake sale out front.]

Hey Aurora, what do you got there, can I have some?

[forever_cheery]

Hi! I have lots of things. I've got a few different kinds of cookies, some brownies, and some lemon bars too.

[dumbfabric]

Ohhh Lemon Bars please.

[Sweetie Belle will take a lemon bar and bite into it, she immediately makes a face and spits it on the ground.]

This is almost as bad as that time I tried to make toast.

[eternalcameo]

(O hai Aurora, you haven't met your new housemate yet! Asagi here just returned from outside and finds herself in the warzone kitchen while looking for something to drink. She's dealt with ghosts before, but didn't think one was living here.)

Well if you're cooking this much, I can have some of whatever you're making, right?

[forever_cheery]

[They've probably seen each other in passing, but no formal introduction yet. Aurora smiles at her new housemate brightly while wiping some flour from her face.] Hi there! Of course, that's mostly why I'm doing this.

[eternalcameo]

(That's probably for the best. Asagi's mun is too lazy to give her her own intro post yet, so tagging beforehand it is!)

Wonderful!

...so what are you making, anyway?

[sumofallreds]

[Oh hi neighbor...saaaaaaaayyyyyyy...is that food you got there?]

So...what's all this...

[Marvelous looks at the decorations warily.]

...colorfulness.

[Yes...this is from the man who wears brightly colored spandex on many an occasion.]

[forever_cheery]

[The decorations just scream Aurora. SO CHEERFUL.] It's a bake sale! Sort of. You don't have to pay, but tips are appreciated! [She pats a tip jar sitting nearby.] Would you like something?

[sumofallreds]

Well...it'd be rude to not give you something for making so much.

[He'll pick up a brownie.]

Down the hatch.

[Crunk! Marvelous is now holding his jaw a bit.]

Owwwww...I think i got one that's been out a bit too long...

[kinship]

[Well look who it is! He answers the door without any regard for the safety rules that say an adult should be doing that, looking up at her with a surprised smile.]

Miss Aurora!

[forever_cheery]

[ERK. NO. CAIN IS NOT IN THE PROTOCOL. ABORT ABORT]

A-Ah! Oh! Cain! Hello! Um... would you like a cookie?

[kinship]

[He gets the feeling she might have been here for someone else, though he's going to be deliberately in her way now.]

I'd love one, why don't you come in and sit down?

Action

[lets_stay_together]

[Tohru has been watching not!mom flit about the kitchen.]

Would you like some help? I always did all the cooking back home.

[forever_cheery]

Oh! Really? Sure, I guess I could use some help, huh...

[lets_stay_together]

What are you making? It smells great!

[swineprince]

[Baked goods? Ebony is so there. His black eyes glitter as he grinsat her.]

Did you make these yourself?

[forever_cheery]

Yes, I did! And I made the stand and the signs and everything! [Someone has nothing to do now that school is out and she no longer has classes to teach.]

[swineprince]

I love baking. Uhm... Would you like to trade? I made cream puffs today.

[He has his trusty tupperware full of pastries.]

Action B

[derp_detective]

[Gumshoe is walking by when he notices the stand Aurora has set up.]

Oh wow, what's this? Did you bake a bunch of this by yourself?

[forever_cheery]

[By this point, Aurora looks a bit put out, but she nods and smiles cheerfully as she can when Gumshoe approaches. It seems like she's low on food, though.]

Yes, I did! But, um, a lot of it didn't turn out so well. I'm still learning. But I think I managed to get rid of all the bad ones!

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa will step come in from outside, glancing at photos with a frown on his face. He doesn't look up, hearing Aurora's comment.]

Sugar is usually better, from what Kabuto's grandmother always sai...

[He looks up, then looks around the kitchen, then looks at Aurora...and he's as pale as a...well, you know.]

W-what happened?

[forever_cheery]

[She looks up at Tsukasa, then to the mess, and looks a bit sheepish.]

...I'm baking? Sorry, I'll clean it up, I promise!
