huntress / open broadcast.
[ Whatever's going on, Chris is pretty intent on it. He's mucking about in the kitchen working with the meager supplies and there is definitely the smell of chocolate protein stuffs everywhere. He started on it the night before but now that he's messing with it in earnest it smells... fantastic, actually. There's semi-solid chocolate, gel chocolate, gel peanut butter, all getting mixed up real well and chilled inside the mini-fridge.

Is he making brownies?! ]

call to Cole Turner.
So... I know, I know. Don't remind me. But can I shimmer over today? I want to see you. In person.

[ Beat. Maybe he needs to up the ante. ]

I figured out how to make brownies.

wonderduck.
[ No matter how Chris gets there, he's on the Wonderduck again with some of his makeshift brownies and something else kind of clunky-looking in a bag. Feel free to assault him for being new or unknown or carrying chocolatey perfection. He's not going to be handing it out on his own, you know! ]

Comments

[misconceived]

Yeah. You could say something like that. Almost makes you another person completely.

[ Ignoring the other halves talk for now, kthx. ]

[got_it_memorized]

Sounds handy. Where does someone acquire a skill like that?

[Don't think he didn't notice that redirect. He's on to you, mister. He will bide his time.]

[misconceived]

You don't acquire it. It's something you're born with or you're not.

[ Yeah, whatever, Chris isn't gonna sweat it. ]

[got_it_memorized]

[He makes a sibilant noise.]

Well, that's no fun.

Know any other cool tricks?

[misconceived]

Plenty. Nothing that I could teach from scratch.

[ He shrugs. Too bad, so sad. ]

[got_it_memorized]

You presume I'm starting from scratch. You're not the only one with a few extraordinary skills. Show me yours I'll show you mine?

[Mostly he's interested in knowing what the other people in the fleet are capable of; it's safer that way. But hey, if he winds up with a few professional associates for his efforts, that works out well, too!]

[misconceived]

How about you go first? My hands are a bit tied up right now.

[got_it_memorized]

I think this sort of thing is better done in person, don't you? Besides, my specialty isn't really an indoor activity. Why don't we meet down on the planet sometime and compare notes?

[misconceived]

Well, I can't right now. [ Least of all because he's still grounded and Cole would kill him if he saw Chris was shimmering around. ] Tomorrow, if you want.

[got_it_memorized]

Right, of course, I can see you're busy. Tomorrow's fine, my datebook is pretty open at the moment. Where should I meet you?

[misconceived]

That clearing on the planet should be fine. Least chance of messing anything up, away from people might actually be. That's what you meant by not indoors, right?

[got_it_memorized]

Works for me. Meetcha there, say, 2:00?

[misconceived]

Two o'clock in the clearing. You got it.
