WEEK 4

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Tadashi, Sophie, and Princess Anna are dead. By now, maybe you're realizing that this plays is way more dangerous than you have ever feared, but don't worry, maybe some hope will come along the way.

For example, if anyone tries to open the Conservatory Door leading outside starting this week, they'll find that they finally have access to the graveyard and outside. You are now freely able to leave the mansion whenever you want.

Maybe you can all finally leave this place...?

20 guests remain.]

LET'S BAKE COOKIES

[pardonmylanguage]

[Tip has slipped a note under everyone's door this morning.

BAKING!

A lot of people have been making food for everyone, but we haven't baked anything together. And I think it's a good time to try that! It's something I really enjoyed doing with my mom before all this. Come to the kitchen, I've got most of the ingredients ready.

To help the illiterates, she's also added a map of the mansion, with an arrow pointing at the kitchen, along with a rough illustration of raw ingredients and cookies. When anyone arrives, they will indeed see various ingredients spread out over the counters, with Tip herself looking a little embarrassed.]

Anna and I discussed it...I finally had time to set things up.

[arpeggiositar]

[Cookies? Demyx isn't really interested in baking, but there's a chance there'll be cookies when he arrives. He enters, looking cheerful, and stops when he sees the ingredients and no cookies]

Oh, darn, I arrived early...

[So Anna and you discussed doing this? Huh. Well, may as well...]

Hey, don't look embarrassed, this is good. Everyone likes cookies.

[pardonmylanguage]

Yeah, I know. Wander's really good at baking them, but I don't want him to be the only one doing that stuff.

[chainbroke]

[ The note comes at a time when she's decided to try and learn for herself... so she arrives, clutching the note and smiling a little sheepishly. ]

I've never baked anything before, so, um...

[pardonmylanguage]

Oh, that's okay! [Tip waves] Part of the point of doing this stuff together is to learn, after all. I already taught WALL-E how to make soup, so it can't be that hard.

[chainbroke]

[ She nods, setting the note down. ]

Okay. Thank you, Tip. [ She looks around at all the ingredients. ] How do you start?

[pardonmylanguage]

Well, first you have to measure the ingredients. [She gestures at the table.] I think this is enough for everyone to have some. [She produces another note with measurements written on it that the mun is too lazy to calculate.] Most of the time you start with the flour and the sugar. [After some rummaging, she finds a rather large bowl.] I...hope this is big enough.

[chainbroke]

[ She nods as she listens while looking at all the items. There's so much, how in the worlds does anyone just know how to do this off the top of their heads...?

Regardless she takes a couple of the appropriate measuring cups. ]

You use this to know how much flour and sugar is needed, don't you?

[pardonmylanguage]

[Well, most people use recipes, after all.]

Yeah. You don't need to be super-exact for cookies either. [She also points out the appropriate item on the list.]

[chainbroke]

[ She raises her eyebrows a little. ]

If you're not exact... that wouldn't ruin it?

[pardonmylanguage]

Nah. Long as the dough comes out okay it should be good. [A pause] The only thing you need to watch out for is salt, but it's not that much proportionately so it should be fine.

[ilovepuppies]

[Star is adding the sugar.

To everything. Literally, she's just pouring sugar over all the other ingredients.]

[pardonmylanguage]

[It's a good thing she was on the lookout for stuff like that, so she can grab Star's arm before the sugar really gets everywhere.]

We're going to mix it all together in the end, you know.

[ilovepuppies]

But it needs more sugar!

[pardonmylanguage]

Yes, but you should add it to the bowl. [A pause] Or add it as decorations after we're done baking them.

[ilovepuppies]

You can add sugar after you bake cookies?

[pardonmylanguage]

...yeah? It makes it crunchier too. Mostly you use colored sugar for that, but that's mostly to make it look pretty. And I guess we can dye some of the sugar here.

[ilovepuppies]

You can make colored sugar!!

I need rainbow cookies.

[folkscallmewander]

[Wander already did some baking yesterday, but there will be people working today and they might need help. So off he goes again, walking around and checking if there's a particular participant in need of a pal.]

How's it goin'? Can I get anythin'?

[pardonmylanguage]

[Tip smiles at him while mixing some dough.] Do you know what flavors haven't been used yet? [She waves a hand at the pile of various flavorings and decorations.

[folkscallmewander]

[Going through the list of baking ingredients he saw earlier...] We still got almond and vanilla, baker's chocolate too, but if we wanna get really creative with our cookies, we gotta mix in some nuts and berries.

[He walks over to the pile of decorations and picks up a container of sprinkles.]

This goes great on sugar cookies! [Spins to face Tip.] You know how to make those?

[pardonmylanguage]

Oh yeah, they're the first recipe I learned. I think Star's got that down though. [She gestures to the...sugar everywhere.] Maybe we should make some that's just mostly nuts and berries, then. That counts as healthy, right?

[folkscallmewander]

Yeah. And if we make enough, it'll count for breakfast. [Now you won't starve at the trial tomorrow.] Gotta keep our energy if we're gonna do all this investigatin' 'round the house.

[He leaves the table to search the pantry for cranberries and walnuts.]

[pardonmylanguage]

[She smiles.] Yeah, it looks like we're definitely going to have leftovers.

[folkscallmewander]

[And the containers and promptly dropped onto the table.]

Alright, supply check! Mixin' bowl? Milk? Flour? Sugar? Eggs? Spoon?
