 [ the Peeta that sits before the screen still looks like shit, but there's a little more confidence to him as he speaks: ]

There's going to be a new bakery in town. [ he grins, a little awkwardly but it's still somewhat charming ] And it could use some customers starting tomorrow. It's in the Water section, if you need help finding it, feel free to ask me or Astrid. People who order something more expensive then three juulans get a free slice of cake. To celebrate. The opening, that is. And the not being destroyed by mutts thing. Though that could use some celebration as well.

[ he pauses, rubbing his hands together ]

Also I was wondering who to get in touch with regarding...therapy. 

It's not related to the cake, I promise.

[ And followed up almost immediately by a response aimed at anyone wanting to know more, from Astrid! She looks... Very awkward. And deadpanny. ]

I am Astrid Farnsworth and I can answer any of your questions so long as it does not pertain to baking. I am still learning.

Thank you for your time.

[ Peeta gives a rare, full smile at that ]

Right. Astrid is the one to go to for...public relations.

I'm here if anyone has questions about the actual baked goods.

[ to Astrid: ]


I can teach you more recipes while we work. If you want.

[Her expression is some weird mixture between amusement and concern]

I'll come.

To the opening.

[howherolls]

[ he gives her a smile, but there's still some fear in his expression. like he's not really sure if this is a good idea and is waiting for her to tell him not to do it ]

Good, I-

[ needs her there. ]

-can make extra cheese bread.

How are you feeling, dude?

[Since, you know, the last he saw you was kind of terrible.]

[ awk. ward. Peeta rubs his hands together nervously ]

Better.


Sorry about. All of that.

[ Jack is so excited by the prospect he forgets to check if Peeta can even see or hear him before replying. ]

A bakery! Are you going to sell pastries and things too?

Re: video;

[howherolls]

[ Peeta looks around at the feed, seeing only an empty room. He frowns before mentally shrugging it off. It could just be that the person forgot to angle the feed at the right place, and not that he's losing his grip on reality again ]

Yes. We have a simple menu at the moment, but we'll be adding to it after we get some more sales. [ a small smile ] Turns out the loans here have a pretty high interest rate.

[virginprice]

That sounds lovely. What will you have on your menu? I shall certainly buy something.

[howherolls]

[ he clears his throat and takes a deep breath: ]

For a starter menu, we'll be having six different types of artisan pastries, croissants, bear claws, eclairs, two different styles of creme puff, a variety of breakfast sandwiches in the morning, a dozen varieties of cookies, two types of brownies, four types of muffins, six types of scones, four types of sweet rolls, eight types of non-sweet rolls and breads, three breakfast souflees, and I am trying out something called a bagel.

[ he blinks ]

We will also be doing cakes. For special occasions or when they're ordered.

How are you at french pastries?

video

[howherolls]

[ the term 'french' doesn't mean anything to Peeta since...well, france is destroyed, but he's reasonably confident that he can make whatever it is he's asking for ]

What kind of pastry do you like?

[alpha_squad_leader]

A free slice of cake sounds like a pretty good reason to spend a little extra money. [He smiles.] What do you have that costs more than three juulans?

Re: [Video]

[howherolls]

If you order a dozen of anything, really. Or some of the artisan pastries. Or cake orders.

[agentdork]

Oh, god, you're gonna have to roll me around, that's how often I'm gonna be in there.

Re: audio

[howherolls]

That sounds like a challenge.

[tangentdarko]

You have mental problems? I have those too! What kind do you have?

[howherolls]

[ he's a little surprised by the enthusiasm ]

I was...hijacked.

[ er, right. being polite ]

What kind do you have?

[bothbarrels]

Are you looking for any employees?

[howherolls]

We can't pay much at the moment, but help would be nice.

Tomorrow, provided nothing explodes in the ovens.

[demon_brat]

Like this kind of therapy?

[And Damian includes a link to the network post he is talking about.]

Re: video + link;

[howherolls]

[ he looks almost excited] Yes, do you know if he...has any openings?

laaaaate

[suoxi]

I am schooled in a fair amount of psychology. What are you specifically looking for?

[howherolls]

To not hurt anyone.

[Have one (1) tired looking Terry, his expression is a bit glum but his tone of voice is soft and patient. (Can you convey patience in tone? Let's say yes.)]

Do you know what kind of therapy you're looking for?

Re: video; private

[howherolls]

I have no idea. I just...showed up, back home.

I worked with Dr Aurelis. [ as if the name might mean something here, he doesn't know ]

[insecrets]

Seaweed bread? [oh please oh please oh please oh please?]

So. You all are pretty serious about this therapy thing.

Re: video;

[howherolls]

I've already started on it. [ a grin ] I have another order for seaweed rolls too.




Wouldn't you be, if you were in my position?
