004: Birthday Girl, Video; un: @)-,-- (backdated to 14th)

[ashenrose]

[Mary didn't feel particularly different on this Monday... but as it so clearly said on her art calendar, it was her birthday today! Well, the anniversary of her arriving in Ellipsa, but that basically counted, right?

So hi network, have an excited small child; ]

Hello! I want a reaaallllyyyyy big cake today.

Maybe chocolate, or sponge cake, or lemon cake- or, oh, you can get that funny upside-down cake right? Maybe one of those.

Anyway, someone's gotta know where to get good cake!

[...Context, Mary??]

I might know where to get good cake from. What's the occasion?

[ashenrose]

I decided it's my birthday. I got brought here this time last year, so it counts! And I want a cake.

[Perfect logic!]

[abnormalizes]

Makes sense to me! I'll bring you one from the store.

[ashenrose]

Yaaay! Thank you!

[She's excited!! Please bring her cake!]

action!

[abnormalizes]

[Knock knock! Guess who's at your door holding a biiig box that contains a biiig chocolate cake! It's Evangeline.]

How big do you need, Mary-chan? Or I guess if Neechan's getting you one already, maybe I can also get one and then maybe more people can, so a bunch of normal cakes instead of one big one?

[ashenrose]

Ohh, lots of cakes... then I could get all different ones, couldn't I?

[One huge cake or lots of different cakes- this was a very difficult decision to make!]

[roundandaround]

Yeah! We can share with a bunch of people so the food doesn't go bad!

[ashenrose]

Mhm! People can come over and share, it'll be great!

[A real birthday party with loads of her friends there? And lots of cake? The little kid is practically bouncing on her heels with excitement.]

Mary. I know a great place for chocolate cake. It's my personal favorite, too. I'd love to get some for you or with you.

[ashenrose]

Chocolate cake! Yes, I wanna try- where, where? We can share~

[She very much hoped he would bring one over!]

[leucosis]

Alright, we can share. There's a little cafe in Coldreach. Where do you live, currently? I can find something closer to there.

[ashenrose]

I live in Solarpeak with Rinku and our Pokémon and my Dolls.

[The Dolls are probably sentient, this is definitely fine and not creepy at all.]

But I haven't been to Coldreach in a while, that's the one with those little boxes that you sit in that go alllll the way up high on a rope right?

[Those would be the cablecars, Mary.]

[Oh, Mary.]

I'm afraid I'm not terribly good at baking, but would a different kind of sweet dessert suffice to assuage your current cravings?

[ashenrose]

[She's curious! That's also a lot of big words, but she follows along.]

What kind of dessert? ...And what does assu- 'assuage' mean?

[physicianhealthyself]

A speciality from my own home and a favourite of mine. Not a cake, though, so I won't be offended if you turn it down.

[He won't be! Really!]

And it means to satisfy.

[ashenrose]

[To satisfy, right. Mary nodded sagely, filing that word away in her head for later (if she remembered it anyway). But even though what this person was offering wasn't cake, she was very curious.]

I want to try! I want to taste lots and lots of new things, and it sounds good!

[She didn't even know what it was!]

( There's a pause of a good few moments while Berry shakily adjusts the camera, before a small oh! is heard and she manages to flip the screen so her face — blonde hair hanging loose, strands framing green eyes and a delighted smile — is visible. )

Why not bake one? ( Is it an excuse to lick the bowl? Maybe. ) Making your own cake makes it super delicious.

[ashenrose]

[Mary wasn't exactly that good at the camera to start with either, so she waits about as patiently as any newly-turned-10-year old can, kicking her feet as she does so- and ah! There we go-]

I dunno how to bake one though... is it difficult?

did i think i'd replied to this? yes

[tabernaria]

( Hmmm. )

It depends on the cake. ( Frankly. ) An upside down cake isn't too difficult!

( Butttt while she's here; ) What's chocolate? Is it a type of fruit?

[ashenrose]

Then tell me how to make an upside down cake! ...huh? You don't know what chocolate is?

[Blink. Blink. Someone with less worldly knowledge than her? That was unusual.]

[starwill]

How big of a cake are we talking about?

[ashenrose]

[Stretching her arms out to demonstrate!]

Really, reeaaaalllllyyy big!

[...Did she forget about the earlier suggestion to get a bunch of normal sized cakes rather than one huge one? Apparently so.]

[starwill]

As big as you or bigger than that?

[ Is she going to have to order a wedding-sized cake... ]

[ashenrose]

You can get ones even bigger?? Really?

[No self-restraint in this girl, none at all.]
