video, the second ❧ there will be pie in the sky

[onetouch]

[ ned addresses the feed nervously as always, but with a purpose today. the rest of you may be worried about a monster in your midst, but this posting has a much more mundane goal in mind. ]

As some of you might already know... I was--am? The pie, the proprietor of a pie eatery and bakeshop, my Pie Hole. I mean, the. The Pie Hole. In space. Not that it was ever in space before, but it will be. Now. In the present and space-oocupied moment. Presently. [ what. he clears his throat. ]

Chuck, for those of you who--who already know her. [ and now starting to get pink... ] My girlfriend. And, and myself will be taking pie orders whether it's a simple apple pie or a delicacy only found on your home world. I will do my best to replicate it here with our limited resources. And eventually, I do plan to have an established establishment with a full pie menu, as well as some possible... extras, as much as I regale myself as a self-proclaimed pie purist. Which I think, self-proclamation is the only way to actually be proclaimed in pie purity... Uhm. So. Requests.

[ he holds up a little board that says "22-09" with a bright smile. ] This is my number should you care to stop by or, call. What better time for pie than when we all are, surely, in great need of comfort. And what more comforting food could there be.

Oh! Before I forget. For those of you who might come from terrible places without pie? There will be a pie-tasting assuming we don't all die of heat-exhaustion or giant invisible monsters.

[ another bright smile before he disconnects! ]

Dude. What kind of world doesn't have pie?

[onetouch]

Horrible, dark worlds.

[klutziness]

You are totally doing those people a service then.

[It's nice to see someone who just seems genuinely sweet and is planning something... well, maybe not helpful, but nice.

The visual shows her still busy at work with the signs that she's in engineering all around. Still, while she's working she turns to offer a small smile to him.]

That sounds like a wonderful idea.

[onetouch]

You'll come, then?

Re: [Video]

[the_other_eight]

I will if you allow me to bring coffee.

[striking]

[ did someone say food. ]

I haven't had a pie in a long time.

[onetouch]

That's a shame. Do you have a favorite?

[striking]

Venison.

[Tom is nearly naked, but lucky for Ned all the video shows are bare shoulders and an excited grin]

Can ya make pork pies an' tarts?

[onetouch]

[ he does look a little uneasy, even partial nudity isn't something ned is accustomed to, but he doesn't comment. especially since they'll all be naked together soon, a fact he tries never to think about. ]

...I would, if that's what you wanted.

[loyalpup]

Don't know if we even got what ya need and I ain't got none ta trade for it, but I could help! I help Jenna in the kitchen and worked in a cafe.

[Tom is nearly naked a lot because kids don't need clothes. Okay, no not really, but at least he looks good naked, right?]

[sleuthtastic]

I. Love. Pie.

[ That's it, that's the response. ]

[onetouch]

It's always wonderful to meet a fellow pie-enthusiast. Are you new on board? New-ish.

[sleuthtastic]

That's me. Veronica Mars, pie-enthusiast, relative newcomer into the depths of space.

late but deal with it, voice

[nebbish]

D'you find the butter tastes off at all?

i will always deal with it, also voice.

[onetouch]

I try to use no more from the kitchens than is... absolutely necessary.

[nebbish]

[With interest:]

Yeah? How do you get around it?

[ She looks a mix of curious and confused. ]

Pies like the meat bakes father used to have at home? I've never had a pie with apple inside of it before.

video.

[onetouch]

There are apples on board, it's much less scarce than the meat. I could bake you an apple pie? That's a staple where I come from.

video.

[braverys]

I think I'd enjoy that. Are they a new type of food, like pancakes or hamburgers? What else can you have in pies?

[inspirited]

This place could definitely use a space version of it— [she just smiles as she continues talking] You know, I actually had a few people asking me about that so I think we'll definitely be getting a lot of requests.

video;

[onetouch]

Requests are good, very good... I only hope I can fulfill them all with such a restricted pantry.

This is awesome, space is so much more fun when you can still get a decent dessert. Can I ask what you're charging for a pie? I sort of left my wallet at home, but I can peel and slice, wash and dry, cat-sit, shoot anything that needs shooting with or without boomerang arrows, whatever you need.

[onetouch]

Did you say... boomerang arrows? [ a lifted and very furry eyebrow, but nothing else. ] The first pie is free, of course. That's just good marketing.
