[After the pool party, whenever Friday returns to the Aria's quarters, a certain blond idol is in his room and flopped back against his bed like a modern day Goldilocks.]
[ He pauses at the doorframe, studying him for a moment with a mix between confusion and concern before meandering closer to lean down and check if Jewel is really asleep or toying with him again. ]
Sam: unfortunately I've got some business to deal with in the coming days, so I can't stop by to help with your cake any time soon.
However, you should be able to make the cake without my help with the new ingredients opportunity. Attached a recipe from a bakery that my family uses religiously. Always a hit. Frosting might be a little tricky, but don't sweat it too much. I starred optional ingredients. As long as you have the essential ones cake would come out positive.
happy baking.
ps: if you still want to use the chocolate bars, cut them into chunks and mix into the batter as is like you would with cookie dough. Don't need to melt it, it'll melt in the oven and then cool. You'll have different consistency depending on if you want to eat warm or cold cake.
[if Friday has a publicly textable number he’s getting a message from Eriks]
hey I know this is a little out of nowhere but would you mind if I asked you a couple of things about the creepy hallway performance? promise this isn’t a leadin to anything crazy, I just wanted to check on that uh situation
[if he’s not reachable that way Eriks can just knock on Sirens’ door in a quiet period in person, I’m easy]
In regards to your order, we must regretfully inform you that, as stated at the time of your order, the requested product requires specialized skills we do not have available to us here on the D.V Dream Drift. We produced several prototypes, but none reached quality standards as determined by the xxxx xxxxx. Therefore, we must cancel your order. Please feel free to contact us again after the conclusion of your vacation.
(P.S You're welcome to the final results if you think they'll help, Sir, but they're pretty sad!)
[Rose has attached a video what appears to be a ...mini piano... at least from the angle the phone vid is being taken from- don't look too hard when the video catches a glimpse from a different angle, there's a confused writhing Cthulhu-esque tumbleweed mass of cords and wires inside the thing visible from one end that doesn't have the shell fully on. Someone plinks at the keys for the video, and the sound is... is... not very piano-y. But technically it has working keys that each produce a different sound that scales properly from left to right. Somehow.]
[ Glancing at his phone in surprise. He didn't think they would actually try and work the piano out. In spite of the failed product at the end, the fact that they even attempted warms his heart. ]
Thank you for reaching out to me about this, Rose. I appreciate all the effort expended on trying to make it work. It is all right if it was unsuccessful. I know it was a difficult ask, considering the limited parts available on this ship. Fortunately, Breezy has agreed to lend me his piano for the time being.
May I still have the prototype? I would like to keep it enshrined in my room.
[ Did Lithium fall for ancient chainmail spam, or is the ship fucking with all of them again? ]
Exactly how many people am I supposed to forward this to? And what will happen to us all if I do not? I need to know how high to escalate this on my list of priorities.
I hope you have DND on so this doesn't disturb your sleep schedule.
but how about you let me take you out for a date? Maybe date is a strong word because I'm not about to treat you out to a night on the town from here, but just hanging out the two of us. All in good fun, no strings attached!
Re: Day 244 (really really early, like 1am kinda early)
I realize it has been a long time since our last correspondence. If you are free, would you like to go bird watching again or perhaps take a stroll through the library or gardens?
It has, but I would appreciate seeing you again. I will meet you in the library. I need to pick up new books since I already finished the ones I was reading.

Even though you said you would be busy, may I still stop by to deliver a slice

pre-auction game, slightly backdated
hey I know this is a little out of nowhere but would you mind if I asked you a couple of things about the creepy hallway performance? promise this isn’t a leadin to anything crazy, I just wanted to check on that uh situation
[if he’s not reachable that way Eriks can just knock on Sirens’ door in a quiet period in person, I’m easy]
Re: pre-auction game, slightly backdated
I would not mind, and I do hope that Lithium is doing better now and that the rest of Forge has recovered from the aftermath.
What in particular would you like to know?
