[Despite the fact that the temperature inside the Welcome Center was currently set to "inside a freezer in the arctic", Zatanna appeared on screen in a light tank top and sunglasses.  Clearly feeling the spirit of the heatwave, even if her spirit boyfriend might not have been...]

It has been brought to my attention that I've been working too much and need to be more spontaneous.

So that's what I'm going to do.

Starting later this afternoon, I've decided to take a spontaneous vacation.  Just for a couple days, of course--I'm not that irresponsible.  Don't know exactly where I'm going, don't know what time this weekend I'll be back.  But I wanted to at least give you all a heads up in case there was something you needed first.  I'll have maps and the latest updated pamphlets on the counter.  The doors to the main area will stay unlocked, and the Wards I have up will take care of the rest.

Otherwise, speak now,  because I can't exactly lug the network console with me to the beach.

I mean, nothing's all that hard to make if you know the ingredients and can get the directions right.

[She has some cooking experience to speak from here.]

[commandandcontrol]

I guess!

I never made it, but I assumed there it was extra difficult since it's way more expensive than normal ice cream.

[backwordscompatible]

I think that's because it takes longer. You have to churn it slower...or something like that.

[It had been a while since she'd made any herself, but she vaguely recalled the subtle differences between the two desserts from her childhood.]

They both have about the same ingredients, but use different amounts and a different milk to cream balance. Geltao's supposed to be less fatty, so I think it uses more of the former.

[commandandcontrol]

Oh, that makes sense.

...seems almost anticlimactic.

[She gave a shrug at that.]

I'm not looking for drama in my mid-day snacks. Just a notable increase in my blood sugar levels.

[ Sonja feels herself getting defensive and tries to put the kibosh on it. ]

Everything goes better with a story, even mundane things. I guess that's just me, I guess.

[backwordscompatible]

I mean...some things are better with a story, I guess.

[Trying to find a middle ground before this turns into an argument.]

[commandandcontrol]

[ Eh, acceptable compromise. Gelatto was a dumb thing to argue about, anyway. ]

Well, have fun at the beach!

[backwordscompatible]

That's the plan.
