Who: Allumette Honeycutt
Broadcast: video (to all)
Action: Marsiva
When: nnnnnow!

[ when the feed flickers on, it's focused on a tiny pink-haired woman. the camera is above, obviously not in her grip, dressed in scholar garb. she stomps her foot on the ground and points to the communicator. ]

--Eos!

Put that down this minute! You've not a clue where that's been!

[ there's a quiet twinkling, like the sound of bells--and she looks offended. ]

We are in an unfamiliar world, with unfamiliar--things! Do not make me unsummon you!

[ is that twinkling panicked? ]

Then put it down! Eos, now.

[ slowly, the point of view is lowered until it drops into allumette's claws, and she breathes a sigh of relief. she peers off-screen until a tiny fairy joins her, settling on her shoulder. she pays no mind to her fairy, however, squinting and staring at it. ]

Oh, Thal's balls--it's on.

[Varric coughs and then bursts out laughing.]

Hey, I wasn't gonna ask! [But he was THINKING it.]

It's spun sugar. There's a little bowl on a heater and it spins around really fast, and the sugar cools off and turns into little strings.

I told Harga to patent that. No idea if he ever did.

[aheroipray]

[ a gasp of delight. ]

Amazing! I'll do it!

[merchantprince]

-- Do what?

[Does she have a sweet tooth? Oh no. OH NO...]

[aheroipray]

That confection! Oh, perhaps I could sell it...

I'm something of a cook back home [ being modest... ] and new recipes are always exciting!

[ she's practically glowing. it's like she's completely forgotten about the kidnapping. ]

[merchantprince]

Maker's breath, we could use a decent cook around here. Not that there's much to cook with. But hey. If you want me to test something, I don't mind. [It can't be worse than the time he found a hoof in his soup at the Hanged Man. Just. A whole hoof.]

And if you want me to hook you up with a merchant, I can do that too. I think I know some people.

[aheroipray]

[ 'maker's breath', is that like 'by the twelve'? allu's not sure she's getting this jargon. ]

A merchant, hm? I suppose I could see what the prices would be... I could gather them myself, but that would require me to discover what exactly are the materials we are given.

[ a beat. ]

And that may be impossible.

[merchantprince]

[Just roll with it. He loves weird swears.]

Yeah, about that... our choices in the kitchen are pretty limited. But we're near some moons right now with a pretty decent trade going on. You could definitely find something like cane sugar down there.

[aheroipray]

I should hope so, or I'll do it myself.

[ don't doubt her. she will do it. come hell or high water. ]

I know quite a few rogues who keep themselves well-informed--are you simply interested in trade?
