Good evening, everyone. [Comes a very low, inauspicious tone.] I hope this night has treated you all well. [Very nice, though. Very cordial.]

As for myself: I have a question.

Would anyone be willing to help me bake a few dozen sugar cookies?

Ah.

Perhaps ... a bit more than a few dozen.

[amurder]

Your Majesty.

[He expected this somehow... and yet feels pleasantly warm all the same when she pops up.]

Of course. However, I will warn you— it'll be messy work.

[thejoyrider]

I do not mind it at all, I can handle it! I know you are worried about me, but I did manage to survive while stranded on a tropical island once.

[Where everything they needed was created with Scathach’s rune magic. But it should not be that hard to reproduce the results with one’s own strength, should it not?]

[amurder]

Ah, yes... that was mentioned once. Briefly.

[As much as he loathes the idea of Marie fending for herself and others, he knows she's quite capable all on her own.

Still!] There will be a lot. We'll need several ingredients... and a hand for decorating. [Wink wink!]

[thejoyrider]

Wonderful! You can count on me with this, you know. Where are you planning to do this? Your place?

[She hopes he had somewhere else in mind. Salieri’s place... might be a little uncomfortable for that]

[amurder]

[Also he's not sure his kitchen would be able to withstand cookies of such a magnitude...]

A local bakery I frequent has graciously allowed me to use a section of their kitchen, once I was able to convince them. [Probably because of his aggressive sweet tooth, no less! Monster or not... he's a very loyal customer.]

That should suffice, My Queen.

[thejoyrider]

This makes sense. So how many cookies exactly are we talking about?

[Will she regret asking this question? Possibly]

[amurder]

[Definitely.]

The number isn't entirely certain but... I was considering a thousand just to be safe.

[Just to be safe!] I'm not sure how many children reside in our Districts alone.

1/2

[thejoyrider]

A thousand.

This is... this is...

2/2

[thejoyrider]

...a wonderful idea! I always knew I could count on you to go all out when you really put your heart into something. You have my full support in this endeavor!

[Consider yourself network-hugged, Salieri. Or Bond-hugged which would probably be more reliable]
