[the feed turns on and chuck is briefly out of frame for a moment as the view focuses on a collection of cup pies sitting on the kitchen counter in a variety of flavors before it turns back to her]

Been a while since I made these but they look good, right? [she just smiles, looking fairly chipper as she continues talking] They're cup pies. Single serving of pie with a honey baked crust.

I have been working with the bees on the upper floors of the oxygen gardens for the last several jumps but just yesterday I was able to harvest most of their honey so I thought I'd put it to some good use.

Though between both these cup pies and the honey, I have quite a lot here actually so if anyone is interested? Just let me know or you can meet me in the kitchens on the fifth floor.

There are bees in the oxygen gardens?

[ Incredulity from the guy who has seen all of pods + medbay. Speaking of that, medbay is behind him, as always. ]

[the question catches her by surprise if only because she thinks he is ned as she responds back] Mhm. Though you should already know that I was—

[wait, something is wrong with this] Hey, what are you doing in the medbay?

[ Oh, he knows it's a matter of mistaken identity, but he's going to troll anyway. ]

Once upon a time, [ he makes a soft sigh, ] a man breaks his back. And you know how the story ends, so the end.

[ Shrugs. ] Tell me again what you're doing anyway.

[ tián réncí de shàngdì, did she just say honey? ]

It's real? Really real?

[inspirited]

[chuck just smiles at that and nods]

Yes. It's really real.

Hard to find away from the Core. Nothing you want in your system anyway. Closer to paste. Indigestion for days.

[ she's just enthralled, don't mind her. ]

[elvenking]

What might you trade for the honey?

[inspirited]

Oh— I wasn't actually looking for anything in return.

[elvenking]

You should ask for something, or else someone will come and take it all and leave none for the rest of us. [The tone is half-teasing.] But very well. I shall meet you in the kitchens.

[logicunlocked]

And you're offering them up for free?

[inspirited]

[she just nods] Yes, of course. Is that strange?

[logicunlocked]

There's people around here that'll only offer stuff if they get something in return. So, you know. I was just checking.

Such lovely little pies. Making such a fine pastry can't be easy given the present resources. Perhaps, in return for a taste, I might offer you some insight?

[inspirited]

Thank you— that's kind of you to say.

You're more than welcome to have a taste. What kind of insight do you mean though?

[sweetbreads]

I happen to be a connoisseur myself. Not professional, no, not by any means, but a hobby gourmet, you might say. I'm trying to make myself more familiar with the edible flora available here, but it will be a labor of love, I suppose--so many different varieties.

[ They look...okay, but the question is: ]

What's it taste like?

video;

[inspirited]

Ah— that depends on the flavor.

[a pause. wait a minute...] Have you never tried one before?

[blunted]

No going price for them?

[inspirited]

No. They're both free for whoever is interested in either.

[ryuuzaki]

What kind of pie?

[He sounds intrigued.]

Fruit pies?

[inspirited]

Yes, they are fruit pies. I take it you're interested in trying them?

[acapriciousthing]

[There's a very happy looking, very goth made up face on the feed]

Oh, those are adorable.

[inspirited]

Thank you. I thought so too! Would you like one?

[virginish]

Those may be the cutest things I've seen since I got here.

[Not that it's been that long, but still.]

[inspirited]

Really, you think so?
