i know the basics of baking from what i learned from tubetube and tv it didnt look that hard

what did you need help with

[synchroswim]

pretty much
everything??

legit ive never done any of it before and i couldnt even tell you how to make cakes besides flour and milk

[mirrortide]

you also need eggs and sugar and baking powder and vanilla im pretty sure for cake

[synchroswim]

seriously?? man thats so much...
but you know how to make that, yeah?

[mirrortide]

well i know how to make it but ive never made one

i dont really need to eat so theres not really much point for me

1/2

[synchroswim]

nev|

2/2

[synchroswim]

wait
whaddya mean you dont need to eat?????

[mirrortide]

well im a gem so i dont need food the way organic life does

i used to have to shapeshift an entire digestive tract if i wanted to eat but since im 100% a rock here i cant do that but thankfully i have one anyway so like the option is there for me if i want to

i just dont most of the time since its a big hassle but im trying to be better about at least trying things lately

[synchroswim]

uhhhhh
pierre right??

pierre
my dude
buddy

i have like
sEVERAL QUESTIONS?????? ABOUT ALL OF THAT?

[mirrortide]

were in a universe where people are turned into witches and monsters and this is what youre questioning

fine whatever ask away

[synchroswim]

one magic is toooootally normal where im from and nO ONE TOLD ME PEOPLE TURNED INTO ROCK MONSTERS HERE!! and what do you mean USED TO???? were you a rock monster where you came from? and how come you didnt change?

1/2

[mirrortide]

wow hey i didnt turn into a rock monster and i wasnt|

[mirrortide]

okay ive always been a gem and i didnt change into one here this place just messed with my physical form a bunch im a witch here

dont ask me why or how because i couldnt tell you i dont think theres actually rock monsters here

also while its technically correct please dont call me a rock im a gem

[synchroswim]

dude real talk ive seen and heard of a looooooot of different things but thats

both cool and weird
whats the difference tho between a rock and a gem??

[mirrortide]

rocks arent sentient gems are

[synchroswim]

so where uh
where do you guys come from then? i mean dont they find a lot of stuff like sapphires and things in rocks? or underground?

i cant BELIEVE you tagged me at 8am

[mirrortide]

not the same kind as us

were made of the same stuff though

but a slurry of chemicals goes into the ground and out comes a gem in basic terms couldnt tell you more that wasnt my field of expertise

i couldn't stay in a carlos-less world

[synchroswim]

_{[Gem slurry. Ha.]}

huh... slurry goes in gems come out
weird but
its not the worst thing ive heard of
did whoever put the slurry in teach you guys how to do well
everything? baking shapeshifting all that stuff? or did you learn that all on your own?

smh

[mirrortide]

oh no we come out fully formed and knowing everything we need to know were not like humans we dont have an infant stage

baking was something i learned from watching tv though gems dont do that normally

[synchroswim]

jeez if humans could do that i think theyd be pretty much set cause they wouldnt have those awkward life stages :\

maybe uh
can you tell me more about gems with the baking stuff too? cause im waaaaay curious

[mirrortide]

it does sound pretty annoying having to do that growing up thing

sure i guess but if you ask me the nitty gritty about it i might not be much help

Have you considered studying a cookery book?

[synchroswim]

yeah buuuuuuut im kinda more of a hands on learning kind of guy

un: vivelafrance

[thejoyrider]

I made cookies before! I can show you how :D

and we could practice the harder stuff together!

[synchroswim]

forreal?? dude id SERIOUSLY majorly owe you for that because im soooooooo lost

actually
weird question too
would being a werefish cause any problems with this stuff??

[thejoyrider]

[Being a... Merrow? Some kind of aquatic aligned Chimera? Oh whatever, it did not matter!]

of course not!

I think...

Have you encountered any? I am not a werefish myself so I cannot speak from experience..

[synchroswim]

im pretty sure thats what i am cause i er
uh
i washed my hands and they got mega extra scales with webbing between my fingers and some glowy spots too

i just dont wanna weird people out if this actually works yknow?? cause its probably one thing to have a wolf guy baking but a fish might be a little weird right?

[thejoyrider]

[Weird? This is Aefenglom.]

I assure you, people here will most likely not be fazed by the sight of a fish person baking

all kinds of people live here, after all! One of my Bonded is a Merrow too :D

[synchroswim]

yeah? thats good im
still kinda getting used to how things are here

especially when it feels like ive seen waaaaaay more merpeople|
merrows
working in the whole entertainment business vs other things
and hey maybe thisll help with that bond stuff too? people like food so if im any good at it maybe ill find one like that

[thejoyrider]

Entertainment? Like a water theme park? I had no idea there was one!

[This is where Marie’s thoughts always go when entertainment is mentioned]

you said that you do not have a Bond, right? For how long have you been Bondless?

[synchroswim]

if only :( they seem to do stuff more along the lines of live music. i saw a bunch at that dulcet place awhile back

but uhhh man
a little over two months? i havent exploded or anything like that yet but it still sucks

[thejoyrider]

you are a Merrow, right? Staying Bondless would not make you explode, it would just... make the full moons less comfortable

especially if it’s been over two months!
