VIDEO | 04

[As the camera turns on, your eyes are immediately directed towards a massive pile of leftover Halloween candy spread out over a table. At least, most of it is Halloween candy, and some of it is really good, like those peanut butter cups and little candy-coated morsels. But there's not a lot of quality control here, so some of it is terrible Halloween candy, and some upon further inspection is not Halloween candy at all.]

[In fact, there's some Christmas candies as well, including those really good hazlenut chocolates, and a few peppermints. There's also some of those mysterious strawberry hard candies that old ladies keep in candy bowls, tiny boxes of raisins, and... cough drops? Yup, those are cough drops. At the edge of the screen, a pair of mouse are helping themselves to one of the oddities, a small bag of peanuts like you might find on an airline.]

[And then there's Allura, sitting at the table with a pout of discontent on her face. After all, she had been invited to a Halloween party at the last minute, and she didn't have roommates to stay home on Halloween, so...]


If I had known I wasn't going to be handing out any Halloween candy, I would never have bought so much.

Particularly since I can't feed most of this to my mice. [As if on cue, a bigger, chubby yellow mouse picks up a bag of sour gummies and starts inspecting it — and without looking, Allura reaches over and pulls the bag out of his tiny little paws.] In fact, some of it I'm not sure if I ought to be eating.

This one is made with boiled animal bones, and coated in dried, powdered acid. It's supposed to be so sour that you will start crying in pain. Is this actually supposed to be a 'treat'?

[She gives a long sigh.] What am I supposed to do with all this? No matter how dubious the ingredients are, it seems like such a waste to throw it all away...

...To be honest? I tend to stay away from the packaged stuff myself. My world didn't have any of this food processing nonsense. I usually stick to fresh produce and the butcher.

... ... ...

Although, there are a few snacks I'm partial to. I never really looked at the packaging though.

I've heard about freeze dried food, but I've never tried it.

Well...as capable as I am at the forge, I actually...suck at baking. It's probably the one thing I could never get the hang of. And as much as I love freshly baked cookies, there's these chocolate sandwich cookies with cream in between?

I can't get enough of them.
forgeabettertomorrow: (Ehehehe well...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2018-11-12 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Are you going to try and bake cookies??

[He's excited. He doesn't know if she's doing this just because or if she's baking the cookies for him specifically, but he's more than excited either way.]

Are you going off a recipe? Or are you going to improvise?

[Not gonna lie, he'd love to see what kind of cookies she could come up with.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (come on trust me!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2018-11-13 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I can't argue with that, but I always preferred improvising. I mean, making mistakes is sometimes half the fun.

Not a lot. It's really not my forté.

I guess you're relieved to hear that, huh.
forgeabettertomorrow: (son of a...)

Yeah, well, you try and learn a craft for twenty years without a book or access to a library.
forgeabettertomorrow: (eyyyyyy this guuuuuy)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2018-11-13 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
...See, this is a trick question.

Because how else would I have learned that I shouldn't put them in my forge if I never put them in my forge? Ah? Ahhhh?

Check and mate. Thank you.

I didn't have access to a forge when I went on the run.

Look, I was young and impetuous! Mistakes happen!
forgeabettertomorrow: (this Lance guy sounds alright)

... ... ...

Allura.

I'm young at heart.
forgeabettertomorrow: (eyyyyyy this guuuuuy)

Fortune favors the youthful~!

Hey, luck isn't so bad!

If it weren't for luck, I'd never have met you!
