[ This is the first time he's really doing this shit on this mind-imposed social network, so bear with him. ]

I'm a shitty judge of timing, so maybe this isn't...a good time, but—

I've got this batch of Twinkies. If you've never seen one, it's a 4-inch traditional sponge cake with a cream filling. Vanilla only. They're as close to store-bought as you're gonna get in this place.

If you've got a hankering for processed junk from home, I'll be at the Nocwich square handing them out whenever the doors open again.

...

Okay, that's all, thank you.

(( ooc: threadjacking welcome; if you reply, you can assume your character got a twinkie. feel free to spontaneously make other food requests. ))

Normally, I'd say no

[ because they're Twinkies and they've been engineered to outlive a nuclear apocalypse ]

but this is a fresh-baked sponge cake with real vanilla so it's pretty fire.

[emulsions]

Couldn't tell you if I wanted. Branding, I think?

Hey, where are you at? Not the castle?

[tedandroses]

What you would do for a Twinkie.

[emulsions]

No, no it's cool, I don't need anything.
Call it a personal project so I don't go crazy.

You, um, did you play professionally? Back home?

[emulsions]

Standard, I think? Everything just sort of flows. Chef's not the biggest asshole on the block so that's nice.

[ This is a lot. ]

Wow. Yeah. I, uh, I didn't have any of that.

[tedandroses]

If you're sure. I know what you mean about not going crazy, at least, but. I assume you're not manifesting ingredients out of nowhere.

I -- yeah, actually. I mean, not in a way that was ever making a lot of money, but. I was in a band, and I had some of my own slightly more songwriter-y stuff on a back burner. Do you play?

[emulsions]

Chef lets me do what I want with the shit we can't use.

Oh yeah? That's cool. I don't, no. I don't end up with a lot of spare time on my hands.

[divinityfrompain]

How do you even get your mouth around that?

[divinityfrompain]

What's your favorite thing to make?

Be glad, it's a lot! It's kind of cool but also mostly a fucking nightmare. The only good thing is I got magic out of it and I wouldn't trade that.

[monomachy]

Let me know if you need anything. Or if you need a taste tester.
Thank you. This is very kind.

[wiedzminka]

I suspect your definition of "branding" has little to do with mine.

Cadens. Free Cities.

[thearchangel]

Honestly, I thought they were just a universal human joke.

You planning on staying out there a while? I might have to check this out.

[carmesi]

( she still isn't sure what's so great about it, as they've discussed before, but cake is cake. )

I suppose I'll have to trust your judgement.
Could I have two, in that case?

[carmesi]

I don't think you really understand the amount of free time we have in Solvunn. Besides, I'll have Peter doing all the hard work.

If it all fails, I'll just magic something up.

[carmesi]

I wasn't saying you were. I was just making sure.
Besides, that's a lot of fried food.

[inferiority_complex]

You made twinkies? How the hell did you make twinkies? Or did you like magic them up or something?

Do they taste any different without all the preservatives?

[emulsions]

No, there's no magic here, I baked them.

The cake'll be more moist, softer.
It's not gonna sit on a shelf forever, so I'd eat it within a day.

[inferiority_complex]

Shit you fucking baked twinkies?

That's insane. Also, kind of brilliant. Kudos.

But I don't think anything twinkie like would last five minutes around here without someone shoving them in their mouths. You are amazing.

[punctually]

she just likes bullying me in public to assert dominance

anyway
deal

[ordinar]

[Help. He misread twinkies as...something else...and now he has to go bury himself in a hole and die.]

Twinkies?

Is that like an American thing?

[sophos]

Can I have two? One for me, one for someone else. He doesn't read this network much.
Also, I know you're probably getting bombarded with these - but can you make milkshakes?

[emulsions]

I can do that.

Milkshakes, not really. We don't have the right equipment.

[sophos]

Thanks.
Worth a shot. I know this place is allergic to technology but I didn't know if there were Ye Olden Milkshake Methods out there.

[righteously]

If fried food's what takes me out, I consider that a win.

[righteously]

You'd be amazed what I can get my mouth around.
