[The video comes on to show Alexis starting a bit and pulling her hand back from the camera.] Oh! [A closer look.] Oh, it's on.

[Pause] Oh, it's on. Hello. [Tiny wave] Hello, my name is Alexis. I thought I'd... Well, I thought I'd introduce myself but now that I actually think it through, this is a time-waster. Sorry? I ran a video blog back home and that was never an issue but--

[Stop talking, Alexis. She shuts up for about two seconds before speaking again.] Hey, is there, like, stuff for cooking free to use? I saw the kitchens and all but I don't want to step on toes.

[A breath.] I kinda need pancakes.

You're free to use everything in the kitchen. Are you familiar with the facilities?

[He's walked into enough kitchen disasters. He's going to check.]

[redheaded_rock]

[She smiles a bit.] I know my way around a kitchen, unless these ones are sporting mutated toasters or killer microwaves or something.

Re: Video

[bailedontheempire]

You should be fine.

Now and then, there are newcomers who have never seen a stove that doesn't burn wood.

[leaps]

The kitchen's are fair game. I don't think anyone's going to try to stop you from making pancakes.

[redheaded_rock]

Well, good. I'd hate to think I ended up right smack in the middle of some pancake-hating cult.

[leaps]

You've landed smack in something, but it's not a pancake-hating cult.

[ understatement of the year. ]

Has someone explained it to you? Things here?

I see that other people have spoken about the kitchens, and there's fresh produce in the gardens, but you might want to ask a bit before going there.

[Harry's not particularly good with plants which might be why he leaves the gardens and gardening to those with a green thumb.]

And I'm Harry, from Britain, Earth. It's good to meet you.

[redheaded_rock]

Oh, right. Gardens. I've heard about them. I'll look into that, thank you.

[She smiles in greeting.] I'm Alexis, from USA, also of Earth. New York City, to be more exact. It's good to meet you.

you are my favorite.

where/when?

[wolfdreamer]

No one will mind, if you make pancakes. And you need not even clean the kitchen, when you are finished--there are robots that will clean for you.

[Robots. He says the word nearly naturally by now.]

But you should clean anyways, in case someone else wants to make pancakes after you.

[redheaded_rock]

[... Robot maids. That's new.]

Well, seeing as how I don't have robots cleaning up after me at home, I'll stick to cleaning up myself.

We need a lot of things kiddo, but beer trumps pancakes.

( voice. )

[redheaded_rock]

[Beer.

You know what? Just gonna roll with it.]

Maybe, but I can't just brew up a batch in the kitchen. Pancakes are easier.

[alsohawkeye]

I don't know how big a batch you were planning on, but I can offer expert flipping services in exchange for a stack. [ Kate plays it casual but is really hoping for an acceptance. Paaaancaaaaaaaaakes. ]

[redheaded_rock]

You know what? I think I can work that in.

[ sounds more like she needs to be unabducted by a spaceship than pancakes, actually. scott can't help sounding slightly amused by her rambling, but mostly he just sounds sympathetic. ]

You can use anything in the kitchens. Maybe don't use the canned meat, though. [ even when the taste is right the texture is way off, just saying. ] What's your vlog about?

[ switching to voice isn't something he'd normally bother with, but there's no reason to risk letting more people see him wolf out if his control slips. ]

voice;

[redheaded_rock]

[Yes, well. When you can't get what you actually need, go for the next best thing. She grins -- a bit self-deprecating -- at the sympathy in his voice.]

Pretty much whatever crosses my mind. I'm a new kid at a big university, so it's been revolving around figuring out my new home and my place in it.

[gothchicklit]

[ WHY? WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO MENTION PANCAKES? ]

God, I haven't had pancakes in... Way too fucking long. [ They sound so awesome, too. ;; ] Pretty sure whatever's in the kitchen is fair game unless it's got someone's name on it.

[redheaded_rock]

Then I am figuring out a way to make them and you're going to join me if you want them.

whats a pancake

text

[redheaded_rock]

It's a thin cake fried on a stovetop. It's usually served with butter and syrup.

[inspirited]

Pancakes? Well the stuff in the kitchens is definitely free to use— so you don't need to be too worried about that.

[redheaded_rock]

Then I am on it.
