Random Baked Goods Appeared!

(This is just a random thing I've been wanting to do. I'm curious who would trust these random baked goods in the kitchen... XD)

* Alicia had been in the kitchen for quite a while, and when she left, she didn't say a word, but she looked happy. On the kitchen counter was an assortment of baked goods- cookies, cake, bread, all sorts of things. Alicia stood a ways away, watching the kitchen and waiting to see how everyone reacts.*

(You can talk to Alicia or your characters can, or they can just eat the food. I don't care very much.)

( A little girl skips through the hall. Her tiny feet come to a grinding halt when she reaches the kitchen, eyes glinting hungrily at all the confections on the table. Reaching up as high as she can, she grabs largest cookie her hand can grasp and practically inhaling it. Squealing with delight, she makes quick work of taking as much as she can and stuffing it in her pockets, her armor, and even her hair. She freezes when she heard a familiar slippered shuffle. She slowly turns around to face a young brunette with her hands on her hips. )

Woman: Traveller... What did I say about sweets before dinner?

Traveller:...to not to...sorry mum.

Mom: Very good, now put them back and let the other people have their turn. You can keep one for dessert.

( As the Traveller puts all but one of her cookies back, a tall brunette man slides in. )

Man: Ullo ullo, what's all this?

Mom: ( turning to face the man ) It seems we've a cookie monster on our hands.

Man: ( grin widening ) aww cookie monsters! LOVE those guys. Most hospitable race I've ever met ooh look cookies! ( He rushes over to the table and sticks five into his mouth, eliciting an annoyed sigh from the woman. )

Woman: Doctor.

The Doctor: ( turning around with said cookies stuffed partway in. ) Mmf?

( Silently, she takes four of the cookies out of his mouth and wraps them in a napkin. She then takes his hand and presses the napkin into it. )

The Doctor: ...What? Just having a little snack.

Woman: five of them? Before dinner?

The Doctor: I'm... bigger on the inside.

Woman: ( with a gracious smile ) Yes, but people aren't dear.

( It is late. Evening. A whole day with nothing but a simple plate of noodles for lunch. Ordinarily, she would make greater effort to eat a little more, but under the consistent but sharp pounding of a stubborn headache, even Alfredo's charm is lost. Silver sits upright on the simple attractive bed, sleep having failed her. Bubbles travel along her navel. Whether hunger or nausea she could not yet tell.

" I don't think there's anything left to sacrifice, but I'm not hungry."

"You want to drench your vocal folds in gastric acid?"

"... Good point."

With a huff, she gets up and makes her way across the darkened room. Very cautiously, she opens the door, wincing when the blood flow returns to the vessel behind her eye, sharpening the pain like a twisted knife. The fluorescence of the overhead lighting is a stark contrast to the gentle doting of the single gas lamp on the nightstand.

"All the consequences of a drink without ever seeing the perks. What a raw deal"

She slowly makes her way down to the kitchen, color drained, eyes glassy and unevenly swollen. She surveys the table mournfully when she notices all the sweets she would normally be overjoyed to see.

" These aren't yours."

"I'm not sure how much longer our good fortune is going to last. Does it really matter at the moment?"

As if on cue, a pang strikes with precision, sending a wave of nausea down her gut. Timidly, she grabs the smallest cooking and nibbles gently on it. )

( For those of you who are wondering what's wrong with Silver- she's not hungover ( although she kind of does wish she were drunk right now ).

She has what's called "Status Migrainosis without aura" ( Migraine headaches). It's where your blood vessels dilate and cause what is essentially a nonalcoholic hangover. She'll start throwing up in a while. )

( I ask this question myself on a regular basis ;w; )

( Silver flinches slightly when Alicia enters, the fright sending a fresh pang behind her eye and to her stomach. She wipes all signs of pain from her face, hiding It behind a bright smile. )

Oh!... well thank you very much, it's so thoughtful of you do this for us!

( "whoa THAT'S not threatening at all"

Involuntarily, she takes a step back as adrenaline slowly floods through her nerves. Behind her hair, red patches begin to color the edges of her jaw.

She shakes her head, awakening the white hot pain again and her smile fades into something of a nervous grimace. Whether from actual nerves or the stinging throb behind her right eye, she no longer has the capacity to know. )

No I'm okay, it's okay, you- you don't... have to worry!

(you don't have that expression? When someone does or gives away the one thing that sets off total chaos we say "Well that's put the cat among the pigeons". Alicia's Narrator powers enable her to put her foot right in the plot point every time, exactly where it will cause most consternation... does wonders for the plots! :-) Silver, don't panic, it's only Alicia, have an invisible Narrator hug :-) )

(Ah. Makes sense. Don't worry about that happening too often, by the way.

Only happens when there's a chance of her having an "attack", that's why she was baking. To make the chance go away.

Didn't work.)

Richard had popped down into the kitchen for but a few moments in between bouts of hammering, twisting, folding, and casting metal. The plates of the arm were done, with two behind him, and true to his nature, he'd not eaten the entire period.

That being said, the abundance of baked goods was.. intriguing.

Potentially dosed with something, certainly, but he figured it didn't really matter. If he died, so be it. He was a tad too hungry to care, but bread in and of itself was hardly a good meal...

He felt the presence of someone familiar nearby, though he couldn't place exactly who it was. Smiling softly to himself behind the scarf he had hastily wrapped around his mouth before venturing down, he hunted down some rice, a leftover ham bone (to make stock with, he added to himself. Said addition made him feel rather foolish, for there wasn't any real need to justify his actions to himself), a small block of cheese, a few particularly appealing mushrooms, a number of other vegetables, salt and pepper, and a mix of herbs he kept stashed in the pantry for when he actually submitted to the urge to cook.

Within minutes, there were several pots and pans on the stove, all simmering away. In truth, there were simpler, more traditional ways to prepare such a dish, but this was a recipe developed in both past and present, and as such, was as much comfort food as a way to take his mind off the confusion and chaos of both.

After about half an hour, he served himself a plate of risotto, noting there was plenty left over, should he wish for seconds or should others come by. He cut a loaf of bread in half and leaned against the counter as he ate, angled away from potentially prying eyes.

The aroma of the dish hung heavy in the air, many scents overlapping into one: The earthiness of the mushrooms, rich cheese layered over rice that mostly served to give the dish texture but did, in fact, impart a subtle taste of its own to the dish, smoky bacon, onions and peppers mixed in the dish somewhere, and the sharp smell of rosemary and thyme, among other things.

All in all, one of his favorite dishes. A reminder of simpler times. A toast to a more peaceful future, one where he wasn't constantly in the process of falling apart at the seams.

He cradled the bowl to his chest, absorbing the warmth greedily. It was smooth under his hands, and his fingers traced its surface contemplatively in between bites.

It was a quiet peace, even in his mind, though his heart ached with the foreign feeling of missing something.

Someone. He sighed quietly. It would not do to lie to himself. All was as expected.

(( AAAA ))

Artemis would slink by the kitchen later, after people had filtered in and out, smiling wearily and taking a bowl for himself. He wasn't sure who'd made it, but their efforts would not go to vain.

He paused slightly at the thought that Elias might've liked to join him, but..

.. he's fine, he reassured himself. Give him time. Give yourself time too. You need it.

... He grabbed a second bowl. Just -- just in case, of course.

* Alicia watched curiously, taking in the interesting scents and silently wishing she could cook more than just bread and sweets. Ah, well. She walked into the kitchen and picked up a cookie* hello, there. That smells really good! *she smiled at him*

Expecting the surprise, Richard calmly wrapped his scarf back around his mouth before he turned to offer a smile mostly seen in his body language.

"I s-should h-hope so. F-family r-recipes are taken v-very s-seriously in o-ours. It i-is c-called risotto." The Italian word rolled off his tongue with practiced grace, even if his accent didn't quite match, as late in his sleep cycle as it was. Much too Lithuanian, too hoarse, Like a jacket a size too large. "Y-you are w-welcome t-to have some, if you w-would like. I i-insist, r-really. It is.. a t-thank you. All t-this m-must have t-taken hours of w-work."

He paused, then murmured, almost as an afterthought, "The b-bread was q-quite lovely."

Richard chuckled softly, amusement glimmering in his one visible eye. "C-cooking and b-baking are w-worthy ways t-to pass an e-excess of t-time, I a-agree. S-speaking of..."

He leaned slightly towards her and whispered, mockingly conspiratorially. "T-that is t-the secret of Italian c-cooking, amico. You always c-cook m-more than you expect t-to use, w-want, or h-have."

"D-do what? C-cook extra? C-clearly y-you h-have never been t-to an Italian f-family reunion. M-more p-people a-always show u-up. F-family is a-always b-bigger t-than you c-come to expect."

Granted, he no longer had family related to him by blood, but he figured that saying as such would be.. detrimental to the cheerful air of the conversation.

"It w-w- er, is." His eyes dimmed for but a moment, trapped behind burning estates and a night gone horribly wrong. He dispelled the image with the smallest of headshakes, smiling again after a moment. "I c-cannot i-imagine being in I-Italy again any t-time soon, but if f-fortune f-finds us both t-there, you are w-welcome to attend such a g-gathering with m-me!"

Richard grinned slightly, tilting his head. "I c-could always take you t-there myself, y-you know. B-but if n-not that... T-then I will s-simply h-have to b-bring the g-gathering t-to you!" He chuckled, enjoying the simple, quiet cheer the words brought him.

Alicia was a good soul, he'd decided. If he could do something to make her happy, he would. Within reason.

"Au contraire, m-my friend. It i-is n-not w-work if you e-enjoy it, and I w-would enjoy seeing y-you happy." His smile softened, heart lurching in his chest ever so slightly.

Alicia reminded him of Benediktas, slightly, even if he couldn't tell why for the most part. It was likely their mutual kindness and cheer, the sort he still didn't quite understand, if he thought about it.

"At t-the v-very least, I c-could s-see about arranging a g-gathering of s-sorts here at t-the Society, and p-provide f-food for it."

Nex Hyde walked in to the kitchen looking like she was just rolled down a hill tied up, which could be akin to how much she drank last night.

Dreamer stood beside her and she cocked her head. "Who did all this?"

"I don't trust it," Nex said going for a kettle to make a cup of coffee.

As Alicia's back was turned, the other half of the baked goods disappeared, with the exception of one cookie. Lewis was out the Society's door the next minute, the pockets of his waistcoat and paletot bulging. He didn't wish to be impolite, but he had to make up the unexpected expense of Alice's bail somehow... He told himself he'd find a way to make it up to Alicia later.

((He was too embarrassed, and also didn't think you saw him, since he was pretty quiet. He is totally oblivious to anything Narrator-related, by the way.))

Once home, Weir locked the door, then began pulling food out of his pockets to set on a small table. He'd just finished emptying (and hung up) his overcoat when Alicia arrived, though he'd not yet taken off his shoes. His brown waistcoat still contained ill-gotten goods.

Lewis startled; he wasn't expecting anyone. Cautiously, he made his way over to the door and took a look through the peephole, only to behold Alicia on his very doorstep! What was she doing here? He was fairly certain he'd left the Society before anyone had even noticed his presence.

He briefly wondered if he could pretend not to be home...

Oh, [expletive], thought Weir. How had she seen him? He'd been so careful!

Heaving a sigh, he resigned himself to his fate. This was likely not going to be pleasant. He counted it both fortunate (as far as making amends) and unfortunate (as far as his stomach was concerned) that he hadn't yet had the chance to eat any of the stolen goods.

He unlocked the door, then quickly emptied his waistcoat pockets, placing their contents onto the table as well. He took a seat.

"Come in," he called. It was time to face the music...

* She walked inside, sitting at the table. She laughed a little, seeing all the food on the table* I'll let you keep those, okay? Don't ask me how I knew it was you, I'm just here to tell you that wasn't fair, since I made those for everyone... next time, if you need food, just come ask me, alright? I'd be more than happy to make you food...

* her expression had been disapproving and sympathetic, but it shifted to amused, and there was a mischievous glint in her eye*

But, unfortunately for you... since that food was for everyone, and you decided to take it, without asking if it was alright to take that much... you have to help me re-bake it. All of it.

Her initial statement took him aback. She was just going to let him...keep these? He hadn't known they'd been for everyone--he hadn't known whom they'd been for, and, at the time, hadn't cared to; it was easier to take them that way. And now she was just...giving the food to him? Why did--

Alicia finished laying out her terms.

"Ah," he said, understanding. "That's more than fair," he admitted. He'd feared she'd not only demand the goods back, but potentially tell Lanyon about this incident. If the rent hadn't been due, he'd never have pulled such a stunt. He really didn't want to drain any more of the Society's resources than absolutely necessary, feeling in a sense that he was stealing from Hastie when he did so. He still hoped to pay it back in kind eventually. But, if this was all Alicia required of him for now, he'd happily comply.

He shook his head. Some people had all the luck... His money would've been extremely valuable, if only it hadn't borne a date from what was (from now) so far in the future. All his degrees had proved worthless as well. He'd had to rely upon his skills instead, taking up work below the radar of respectable society. Not that radar had been invented yet, here...

He did as he was bade. Dutifully, he assembled the ingredients. In his head, he counted down playing cards, beginning with spades: Ace of Spades, King of Spades, Queen of Spades, Jack of Spades, Ten of Spades, and so on. He did this for all four suits of cards, then started over. It was soothing, in its own way, like a mantra, the baking active meditation. In this way, he and Alicia were able to work together.

Lewis smiled, too. This had actually turned out rather well. Alicia's company had been pleasant, once he'd gotten over the initial shock of learning of her ability; he was glad he'd thought to counter it with something as mundane as cards. And he'd found the process of baking oddly enjoyable. He certainly hadn't envisioned anything like this when she'd shown up at his door. Life was a funny thing...
