week 7

[arsholes]

[On Sunday morning, there is a small gift waiting for the early risers in the tower: a gold key, dangling from a length of twine tied to the wooden beam across the ceiling at the cross section of the four dorms. Upon further inspection it has a particular symbol on the back half and a note that reads "Good job. Here's your reward". The note is signed Heisenberg. The key goes to seventh floor, where there is the same symbol etched above the keyhole on the lock.

Another new floor, another pair of deaths and their numbers halved in a matter of weeks. Things can't go on like this much longer.]

[pegasinister]

I do.

[He gestures at the wet ingredients and the tiny toy oven on the counter with a... cane? That's new]

I assume you will wish to observe, but if you have other obligations...

[replacementshield]

[ Felix will set the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, then! He is not a baker, so he is just going to assume Hubert probably knows what he's doing. ]

Hah, no. I've got some time, and like I said, I'm going to ensure nothing stupid happens.

So, you can just get right to it.

[ Oh, wait. ]

When did you get that cane?

[pegasinister]

Ah, that.

[He holds it out for Felix to see, as if he expects the man to check it for a hidden blade or other such secret (and Hubert had checked himself, of course) with a tiny bit of color to his face]

This morning I found this leaning against my chest. I can't say for sure who put it there, though I have my suspicions, but it was clearly meant for me.

[replacementshield]

[ Felix will in fact check it for that, and he absolutely notices Hubert looks plenty happy about the item, to put it one way. ]

...There was no note left, or anything?

[ Can it be...? Honestly, if it was Heisenberg he'd be actually surprised. But who else can it be? ]

Hm. I suppose we can't know for sure whoever it is, but you seem to like it well enough. If it's from who I think it could be, though...I'm surprised he'd bother.

[pegasinister]

I am as well.

[but not as much as he would have been a few weeks ago...]

But regardless, we have a task at hand.

[and he sets to work, imposing the job of reading the recipe aloud to Felix. It seems to be a simple tea cake recipe, though at some point he reaches into his pocket to bring out a tea tin, sprinkling the leaves and dried fruit zest inside the flour. Baking is not so different from chemistry, and Hubert works with a straight forward focus]

[replacementshield]

[ A small scoff leaves him all the same. ]

Should be simple enough.

[ Felix will at least take upon the job without complaint. It's far simpler to read recipe instructions than to actually do the baking! Though, he will be watching, brows drawn in curiosity, and wondering if something will come from it. ]

[pegasinister]

[Hubert kneeds the dough and shapes the cookie, finally sliding it into the tiny pre-heated oven]

I suppose now all we can do it wait...

[arsholes]

[As any good baker (or parent) knows, baking takes time. The little oven might be magic but patience is still a virtue when creating delicious baked goods, sentient or not.

Time ticks by- five minutes. Then ten, then fifteen and a full twenty minutes after Hubert slid the dough into the little pre-heated over it starts to vibrate and glow with sparkling flame-colored lights. The little oven jumps and wiggles, twisting slightly off the ground as it the oven itself has a life of its own and it is just so excited it can’t contain itself.

Finally, the oven door springs open and a freshly baked cookie leaps from the fire. They look up at Hubert and Felix, give a courteous bow then fully turn their attention to Hubert.]

Hello, Father! My name is Fruit Tea Cookie and it is a pleasure to meet you.

[replacementshield]

...something really did come out.

[ Felix here surprised that it actually worked. Look the way this place is means such a thing is not even guaranteed.

He wonders if he should say something else as well, but. He's going to think congratulations is a bit too far for him. ]
