[video] asking the important questions

Action: you can find her on the starstruck if you want
When: idk now?

Hey guys! I have a bit of a weird question for you today.

Did anyone by any chance stock up on apples before we left the Starlight? Or... apple puree, maybe? Or, um. Apple-anything-not-in-a-protein-cube? It's important. I promise.

I'd be willing to trade you credits or food from the Starstruck in exchange. We have a lot of dried and frozen meat. Like. A lot.

On an unrelated-but-not-really note...

Does anyone know how to make apple pie?

New broadcast, 5 minutes later: ... Apparently you need flour and butter too. Do we have any of those things?

[Well that's a random request...]

Ha...did you get a craving for it?

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka chuckles.] No, it's not for me. It's for a friend. [Sort of. Are they friends? She's not sure. But it's the easiest way of explaining it.]

Togruta are carnivores. I'm not sure my stomach would thank me.

Really? [Just meat? But that takes out so many delicious foods...] I'm sorry to hear that.

I can look through our pantry. Maybe there's something leftover to help you.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka shrugs.] It's no big deal. I can eat other things in small quantities. I just don't get any nutrition from them.

Really? That'd be awesome! Thank you. To be honest, I really have no idea what I'm doing, so... anything you can think of would be a help!

I've got a couple cans of sliced apples, we can work out a trade.

[resnipstance]

What, really? Thanks!

That's the hardest part taken care of! What do you want in return?

Re: video

[kill_switch]

Do you have any canned fruit you're not using? [She's not exactly picky, but she did get this for her crew and didn't want there to be a vacuum where two other cans could have been.]

[resnipstance]

Um... maybe? I mean-- my species is carnivorous so I don't usually look. No point, you know? I'll have to check with the rest of the crew.

[goodjob]

Do you have a pie crust? Because that's... kind of important.

[namisan]

Hmm... I've cooked mikan pies and peach pies before. Apple's probably not too far different.

[This makes her miss Steve a little. His apple pie was damn fine.]

[resnipstance]

Wait! Pie crusts are bought? I thought you made them!

[Everything I knew about foods I never consume is a LIE.]

[resnipstance]

Yeah? I mean-- it can't be too hard, right?

[goodjob]

Uh, well, you can make them, but it's a giant pain in the ass. 'Specially for a pie-virgin. [reading ur other comments]

[resnipstance]

Well, I don't think we're exactly going to find anywhere out here [she gestures to uh, all around them] in the middle of nowhere to stop and buy a pie crust.

[namisan]

Nah. I can write the recipe up that I tend to use, if that helps. If someone else can provide the apples, anyway-- I've got fruit, but it's all weird stuff I never heard of before.

[resnipstance]

It would definitely help! Thanks.

I don't tend to pay too much attention to fruit as a general rule, though I think that the fruits we have back home are different from the ones we have here, too.

[goodjob]

Do you have sugar and salt and flour and butter? Baking is God's way of saying he hates us and wants us to be miserable.

[resnipstance]

Oh. Well. Um. I think we have some sugar and salt? Maybe. I'm... not sure about the other two.

... I'm going to make an addendum to the broadcast.

[goodjob]

[Fiona smiles.]

And I'll see if I can find one of those World War Two grandma recipes where they didn't have flour or butter, okay? [She's not holding her breath because no google, but whatever.]

[resnipstance]

One of the what now?

[goodjob]

Uhh, during World War Two, there was rationing so there are still recipes kicking around for how to substitute ingredients. If my brother was here, he could tell you all about it. [...] Well, half of 'em could.

[resnipstance]

... Half of your brother could tell me? What's the other half of him doing...?

[goodjob]

[Fiona cracks up.] I have four brothers! One's a genius, one loves military shit, one loves setting shit on fire and the other one can't talk. Half my brothers could tell you about it.

[resnipstance]

... Wow. That's... that's a lot of brothers.

-- Ahsoka. [ well, this is interesting. having listened in on a few other conversations, she believes she can rightly assume for whom she might want to make this pie. ] I believe I have the perfect recipe.

[ sarah rogers's own apple pie. she and jim had made it together, once. ]

They say there's nothing more American than apple pie.
