[ Gabriel lets out an amused chuckle at Flynn's apology. ]
It's how this place is. No need to apologize for it. It hits us with a lot- in some cases, multiple times the months we've actually been here.
Besides, I forgot too- we made our pie. [ He sends over a picture resembling this. ] It actually worked out. And for once, no one died on the way and we weren't stopped by bad weather or the nanites messing up. It went almost exactly like I expected.
[ Can you tell he's happy about this? Because he is. ]
[ He chuckles at Flynn's proclamation that this is the 'day of good news.' Huh, maybe it is. ]
It was amazing. Even better than the boston creme donut I found on my first day here. I remembered my mother's recipe, so I'm betting it was even better for me. But no one had any complaints.
Al was hoping to make a bunch at one point, but we've only got the one pan. We'll definitely be making more once we've cleaned it, though. We cooked it in a stove with some coals at the bottom and got a pretty even bake, but I bet we could do just fine over an open fire, too. Cast iron skillets are good for a lot.
[ They make a good weapon too, but Gabriel's not bringing that up right now. Flynn's in too good a mood. ]
Aww man, I wish I could have been there, it sounds fantastic. I have a frying pan? Do you think it would work with a frying pan?
[Please tell him it would work with a frying pan!]
I wish I knew my mom's recipes. She made the best cakes. But I only ever ate them, I never paid attention, I wish I would have? I mean, I don't know if I ever found the ingredients in this place but at least I could try.
Hmmm. [ He's thinking it over- he'd like to make it work. ] That'd be way harder. Don't think a full pie would work, but you could probably do pockets or tarts? The thing with a frying pan is the heat isn't even. It'd go much better if you had a little pastry that you fill with some sort of fruit, and then cook it on both sides. If you ever want to try for it, I might be able to walk you through it, though.
And if you do want to try it, the grocery store is where you want to go. You know that place is pretty much full up? It's- if we could only distribute it across town, we'd all be better fed. Might even be able to do some misshapen cakes in the pizza oven down there.
[ He really hopes Tess revives. She seemed on top of this whole cooking/baking thing. ]
No kidding. Our brains are literally under-fueled right now. And the hallucinations don't help much, either.
But yeah, please let me know. I'd love to even look at more baked goods, honestly. I swear we'll find a recipe book one day and all of us will borrow it just to stare at the pictures.

[He grins broadly, clasping his hands together.] That looks really good. How was it? I bet it was delicious.

Sometimes I think we'd have found all the solutions already if we weren't so underfed.

You know, I'd make that pie my new background image but I'm not that much of a masochist.
