video; IT'S ABOUT FREE FOOD OKAY

Name: Ignis Scientia & Caren Ortensia
Date: June 16th, early afternoon
Format: Video

[Greetings fellow people who are stuck here! You've checked your watch, only to find a comedy of errors taking place as two people--well, a man and the top of someone's head--converse. There seems to be a disagreement.]

--do it. I've used this before once or twice, so I think I have a suitable handle on things.

[There’s a loud, exasperated sigh, and stray hairs float up lazily in the air. They’re slow in settling even as the smaller person speaks.]

Certainly. If you know what to do then-all you need to do is send out the information via text and we’ll be done, yes?

[There's a shifting of the image, and a thumb over it for a moment, then it's the other person--the woman--in full view for a split second, before there's a closeup of the man. More accurately, of his eyes behind his glasses. Then it resolves in focus to his entire face again.]

Right. I hope you don't object to doing this as a video feed, because it appears we've turned it on already.

Ah.

[There’s a pause, and the woman adds:]

If that’s the case-we need to adjust the camera.

[More shuffling, then the video wobbles (sorry for the motion sickness, everyone), and it's more or less two people there, at least from the man's chest up, and the woman's whole face is now visible.]

Shall we begin, then? We haven't much to say, and we're wasting everyone's time.

And we can only apologize for wasted time. In any case-we’ve decided to make this call because we have food stuffs in excess after some food experimentation.

[Is it a little sad that her head doesn’t even clear his collar bones? It might be. But hey, check out the view!]

As she said, Miss Ortensia and I are in need of some assistance. Both being connoisseurs of the culinary arts, we put our skills together to create some dishes for the festival with local flavor. However, in our haste to try various dishes, we've created many more than we can consume ourselves.

We do not ask for anything in return, but…if you would like to exchange for drinks, perhaps wine? I certainly would not be against the idea, especially if people wish to partake on site. Have we forgotten anything Mister Scientia?

I believe that covers it. If you'll be so kind as to give them the location, I'll give them a general idea of what we have to offer. A visual feast to precede the real one.

[And he picks up the device and turns it so people can see the… literal multiple tables covered in various food dishes. All of them look amazing. There's also Paris in the background, armed with bread, but blink and you'll miss him.]

We’re located in the Haven district, in the sub location of the larger housing. The address is…

[She rattles off an address which is basically says it’s the fifth fancy house claimed slash occupied by newcomers.]

We hope to see you soon. Happy...Litha? everyone.

Yes, have an… abundant holiday.

[And the feed ends after a little more wobbling of the camera.]

[ooc; A small log for this will go up later and will be edited into this footnote! Feel free to get ready to flamingle there! All are welcome!]

[Mary shoves two potentially familiar items into the camera's view: a bubble-blowing pipe and a deerstalker hat.]

I have a bubble pipe and a detective hat! How much can I get for those?
bloodyuseless: (why can't a leopard hide?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-18 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's not enough?

[If she asks for his hoodie too, he's going to have to say no! He doesn't want to say no! He wants food! That's just not fair.]
showsnopiety: (on a lie)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-18 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's not that it's not enough.

It's that it's yours. Keep them.

You don't need to bring anything but for dishes so you can take food home.

Though I might want a look at your hoodie.
bloodyuseless: (the difference between cats and frogs?)

[Freebies are always difficult to trust, but then again, Caren hadn't acted suspicious before. She'd actually taught him a few things before they'd bonded temporarily. He's about to thank her when she brings up the hoodie.

Oh no.]


You can look, but you can't have it!
showsnopiety: (Papa I know)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-19 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want it.

[She huffs. Sometimes talking with Mary-it's like talking to a little kid.]

I just want to figure out how to make the ears. That's all.
bloodyuseless: (don't kidnap the kitten)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-20 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...oh. Okay.

[Immediately 1000% less suspicious. That makes sense. Maybe if she figures it out, she'll even make him another one!]

There's a tail too, you know. I'll show you.
showsnopiety: (Papa I know)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-21 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She's roped in for it isn't she.]

Is there? I didn't notice last time.
bloodyuseless: (why do cats always get their way?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-21 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a long one! It's like a cotton ball.
showsnopiety: (still you pray)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-21 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
More like a bunny rabbit's?
bloodyuseless: (a cat that gets anything it wants?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-21 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. A normal one would get in the way.

[Mary does a lot of running and climbing, okay.]
showsnopiety: (Papa I know)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-21 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't even want a short one?

[Mary the parkor vampire.]
bloodyuseless: (what looks like half a cat?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-23 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

I've never seen one like that.

[He won't know until he sees how cute it is for himself.]
showsnopiety: (on a lie)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-23 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[She sighs. Exasperated? Not really.]

Did you want me to see if I could make you one? Or have one that you could temporary pin on your current sweatshirt?
bloodyuseless: (what's striped and bouncy?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-26 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
You could make one? Just like that?

[Caren, are you god???]
showsnopiety: (what I'm saying)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-27 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
With the right material and something to stuff it with-it shouldn't take very long.

[She's got high stats in her domestic skills.]
bloodyuseless: (when a cat loses its tail?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-28 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I can find something to stuff it with!
showsnopiety: (you never thought)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-06-29 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Don't use anything weird.

Cloth is fine.
bloodyuseless: (what's worse than raining cats & dogs?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-07-26 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'll find cloth then!

[He will do everything exactly as she commands it. No animal ear hoodies deserve to be tainted by his stupid mistakes.]
showsnopiety: (call my name)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-07-26 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

Do you need directions to some good fabric stores?

[And she has no idea if he actually...has money, so this'll be something.]
bloodyuseless: (what's a cat's favorite dance move?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-07-26 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, please!

[He doesn't. But he does still have that bubble pipe and detective hat. It'll be something indeed.]

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-20 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Insert squinty-eyes here.]

...Really?
bloodyuseless: (a kitten in the red cross?)

[personal profile] bloodyuseless 2019-06-21 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Wasting food should really be the least of their worries here, but if it earns him a chance to try new food for free, he'll gladly take advantage. Yes! Sure! Wasting food should be a crime punishable by death!

Mary smiles wide.]


Then I will!
