Who: Lily Evans and OTA
Broadcast: Fleetwide/Video
Action: First Breath or her temp job at the office of manifests and inventory
When: Wednesday evening

Hello, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for finding cooking ingredients. I'd like to make a cake, chocolate cake. There's an occasion coming up and I'd like to be able to share something special for it.

So any direction would be appreciated.

[Private to Tyrion]

I was wondering if you'd want to go out with me, it's for my birthday this week. I thought since I am away from home maybe I could go with friends and so far that list is mostly you and Remus.

[ Nova walks by wherever Lily is, and then back tracks when she sees her ]

You're making a cake?

action / first breath

[gifted_witch]

I hope to, yes.

[Lily was cleaning the lab, mostly just dusting and putting things in order really.]

It's my birthday, I'd like to make a cake for everyone.

[takeabow]

[ Nova's just hanging out in the doorway mostly ]

Today is your birthday?

[gifted_witch]

No, it's a few days away. That's why I was hoping to get things ahead of time. So I could be sure to get them all by my birthday. Saturday, I guess, going by the calendar here.

Why Miss Lily Evans, are you asking if I would like to join you and Remus in your birthday revels?

Private

[gifted_witch]

I haven't asked Remus yet, but yes I am.

Private

[tallasaking]

I shall be delighted to attend. [He bows solemnly, before he smiles.] I shall have to see about getting you an appropriate gift, naturally.

[gifted_witch]

Good! I have seen a few clubs here. Dancing, music, food...it'll be fun. And no presents are needed.

[Voice]

[misterprongs]

[ he's walking through the station, so voice it is ]

You can't possibly mean to make your own birthday cake.

[Voice]

[gifted_witch]

[She had expected this.]

Well it isn't as though my mum is here and I haven't seen a house elf yet. So why shouldn't I? Oh, if you should see Remus before I do, could you ask him to get in touch with me?

[Voice]

[misterprongs]

You haven't tried to reach him on the comm yet? He's usually a quick response.

[ mildly ]

And I would've thought your friends would've put together something -- you're at school during your birthday, yeah? I would've made you one.

[Voice]

[gifted_witch]

Well no, suppose I hadn't thought of that. How thickheaded is that of me?

Normally, yes. End of January is usually busy. [Congratulations Potter, you've stunning d her more effectively than a stupefy curse.]


You would? Why?

I thought I felt a twitch in my leg this morning. What sort of celebration is it? I can throw you the best party ever. It's my job.

[gifted_witch]

It's my birthday.

[And yes she's staring now.]

You're... you're a horse aren't you?

Video

[preformthisneigh]

A pony! WOW really?!!

[As if that's absolutely normal. Then, even less normal, he suddenly pulls out an accordion. ]

♫ Happy happy birthday to you!
I hope it'll be a really great day
And you'll have the best party without delay
'Cause even stuck in space
Your day should be just ace
Aaannnnd
A happy happy birthday to yoooou ♫

[gifted_witch]

Well, thank you, that was quite something.

Do the, eh, ponies usually talk and sing and play music where you're from? It would be a bit unusual where I am from. Centaurs aside of course.

A cake for a special occasion! I'd like to help.

Do you need baking powder or a recipe?

[Cakes are delicious. MOMO sounds really cheery over making a cake.]

Re: video

[gifted_witch]

Well I don't have much in the way of flour or sugar or cocoa. I was hoping to make just a simple cake and frosting to share.

video

[ydata]

A simple cake shouldn't be too difficult to make, right?

Are there any chefs you know on your fleet?

[MOMO's somewhere else and her cooking probably isn't the best. She's still a child after all.]

[survivalistcookbook]

Hey there. I'm working with one of the local restaurants, so I can probably source you a cake's worth of materials and a good recipe on the cheap.

[Eugene's relaxing in one of the parks after the end of his shift, and the communicator is accordingly propped up on the back of the bench he's seated on, one tattooed arm reached out to steady it.]

How much cake are you planning to make?

video

[gifted_witch]

Well there are less than ten of us on the ship and any one else who might come alone. I don't know two dozen maybe? I honestly have no idea and don't mind sending cake to people who don't know me or can't come.

Umm, that's really generous of you. I have made some money on the station, I could pay you for your help Mr..?

[survivalistcookbook]

Sorry- Eugene Woods. Eugene is fine. I'm one of the cooks on the Vanquish usually.

[He has the good grace to look chagrined, at least - caught skipping introductions and launching right into shady underground offers for wholesale baking goods.]

And don't mention it. Price of materials and a slice of the finished product is enough for me. It's tough enough to keep up with special occasions out here without someone trying to squeeze you for it.

[ This is - this is Lily Evans, isn't it? As in, mother to Harry Lily Evans, the woman that protected him his entire life without realising, James Potter's wife and - all of that is a bit much and Hermione has to stare for a moment before she blinks, running a hand over the large scar on her face consciously before she breathes. ]

Is it a special occasion?

[gifted_witch]

[She's also clueless as to who she is meeting. Lily smiles brightly, something of Harry's genuine kindness in her expression and of course the eyes.]

Hello. Yes, well I think so anyway. It's my birthday.

[brainiest]

[ His mother's eyes. Hermione can see that now, and she softens completely. ]

Oh! Happy Birthday! Did you - um, do you want help with anything? Other than ingredients, of course.
