Hey, so...

I'm still not completely sure how holidays work around here, but back home, this time of year is pretty much baking season galore. Everyone's rushing around to get cooking supplies and prepare for the holidays. It gets pretty wild. Seems like it might head that direction here, too. Dunno if any of you guys celebrate Thanksgiving, but even if you don't--

[Alright, Osborn. Stop babbling and get to the point.]

Well, I was just thinking. I'm pretty good with food, and I make a mean homemade pie. [A beat.] From scratch, not from a box. Just for the record. [Because he already knows the impression he must have left when he whined a little about not having a driver. Look, he's not completely hopeless!] Anyway, I'd kinda like to make some extra cash for the holidays, so...

Anyone wanna order a pie? It'd be about eight bucks per pie, a little more if you want pecan. I can make just about any kind, and you can freeze 'em if you wanna save 'em for later. Just lemme know what kind you want, when you want it, I'll write your name down, and... bam! Homemade pie for Thanksgiving! Or... whatever you want it for. [And maybe if he does well, he'll open up shop for Christmas and whatever else, too. He's trying not to get too ahead of himself on that front, though.]

If you're not convinced, stop by the studio in De Chima. I just finished making a batch of pies for my-- [He laughs a little, because he still can't believe this is his job.] --show. You can sample some and see if you like 'em first.

[Harry then gives out the address and studio number for his baking show, because... yes. He's totally serious. Drop by!]

It's a huge deal in this America too, from what I remember.

and i'm pretty sure people will appreciate home-made pie. People sure love food to celebrate their holidays.

[ Voice ]

[goblinjr]

Yeah? That's great, 'cause I love this time of year.

I mean, I hope so. It's just kinda fun making food for people, y'know? Hell, I'd give 'em away if I didn't need the money.

[ Voice ]

[ghoulking]

Yeah, I know. I cook for everyone I can, all the time. I think it's relaxing. [ but he can't eat so he gives it away all the time too ]

Are you still short on money? The goverment gives us a job when we arrive, so we don't have to worry that much.

[ Voice ]

[goblinjr]

You, too? Huh, maybe we ought'a trade recipes sometime.

Yeah, I've still got my job, it's just... --Well, I like to paint and that hobby doesn't come cheap. Plus with the holidays coming up, I wanna make sure I've got plenty enough to buy presents for people. [And more selfishly, he also wants nicer clothes. He'll keep that to himself, though.]

[ghoulking]

Would be my pleasure. I mostly cook japanese food, but I like to try all kinds of cuisine.

[ and kaneki is going to hum at that, a bit amused ] I used to sketch, myself. But I understand what you mean. I hope the pies help.

voice;

[storyseeker]

Just how mean are your pies? I mean, eight bucks is pretty steep for pastry. I want to make sure I get my money's worth.

[It's actually a perfectly fair price as long as the pie doesn't suck, but eh. She's kidding around.]

voice;

[goblinjr]

So mean, they make a puppy cry. [He pauses before laughing. You can practically hear him shake his head.] No, I dunno, but I've gotten a lot of compliments. Huh-- you think so? I mean, I think it's a pretty fair price for all the ingredients and labor I put into it.

Like I said, though. Free samples if you're not convinced.

voice;

[storyseeker]

Oh, I never turn down free pie. What's your best kind?

voice;

[goblinjr]

Kinda comes down to personal taste, but I think I'm pretty close to mastering my apple pie.

voice;

[storyseeker]

Intriguing. What cinnamon level are we talking about here?

voice;

[deadkord]

What kind of pies?

voice;

[goblinjr]

Apple, pumpkin, pecan, cherry... Those are about the only ones I've made, but I'd be willing to give other stuff a shot by request.

[deadkord]

I might be interested in ordering several of each of those for Thanksgiving. Can you handle delivery, too?

[goblinjr]

Yeah? [He sounds pretty excited about the prospect.] Whatever you need, pal. I, uh. I don't see why I couldn't handle delivery.

[Aside from the whole messed up face thing, but. If this guy ends up ordering that many pies, Harry's pretty sure he can get over it long enough to deliver them for him.]

text; ID reads 'Sumeragi'

[resoundingpledge]

What kind of holiday do you make pies for?

text;

[goblinjr]

Well, Thanksgiving is a popular one. Just 'cause it usually revolves around having a huge meal with loved ones.

Christmas, too.

text;

[resoundingpledge]

It sounds like it must be a lot of fun, celebrating like that.

Is it all right to just order one? If we don't have a lot of people to share it, I mean

video

[glitterateur]

You have a show?! Like a real one, or an internet one?

he's keeping it audio on his end. c:

[goblinjr]

Yeah. It's a baking show. I... guess it's real. [He laughs and shrugs, not that she can see it.] Not sure if anyone actually watches it, but I get paid for it, so I can't complain. Anyway, yeah. I'm still on set right now, actually.

[glitterateur]

Cool! Do you just do pies?! Because that cupcake show I liked watching while I knit is doing reruns so I could use a new baking show to watch!

[goblinjr]

Nope, I can do all kinds of stuff, and this show's got me learning more. Knitting, though? Now that takes some talent. What kinda stuff do you like to knit?

text; anon

[nastygram]

is it 8 bucks per pie bc you don't know how much pie costs irl

text; anon

[goblinjr]

No. It's just enough to help me cover the cost of ingredients plus a little profit. I've seen some people charge upwards of 15, so I think it's pretty reasonable.

[It hasn't clicked that it's his favorite anon ever yet. Just wait. It will.]

[nastygram]

[buddy.]

don't u have a job

like i feel that you could give these pies away and not go to bed hungry

[goblinjr]

Hey, don't try to make me feel guilty about bringing in some extra cash. It's not like I'm rolling in dough over here.
