[ Day ??? but in response to this post; ]

[ You've heard this awful voice before. It's unmistakeably the same guy who'd found the secret room not long ago. Or the same guy who was hanging out with the Joker, whatever's more important to Tess. ]

Hey, you've mentioned hot food. I'm interested. Especially if I can participate.

[ No offense but he's certain he's a better cook than most people (or gods) here. ]

voice, day 344, sorry I forgot to put that on the post!

[motherserpent]

[Oh good, this won't be at all fraught with risks.]

Participate? How d'you mean?

no worries o/

[sharktrash]

[ Nope, perfectly safe for the whole family! ]

I mean I can cook, I've just had shit luck finding anything that wasn't dry rations so far. Well, if you'll accept the help, of course. Still want that hot meal no matter who makes it.

[ beggars can't be choosers... ]

she's totally dying on day 345, btw

[motherserpent]

I mean, I'm not entirely opposed to not doing all the work. It's just that I was a cook back home, before...everything. [Not a lie!] So that was kind of the idea behind offering.

oh no... rip breakfast

[sharktrash]

Hey, I can make something for you in exchange then. [ Look how nice he is! Mostly he misses cooking though. He hasn't even found a working stove so far, let alone fresh ingredients. ] So, when're you open?

the day the breakfast died

[motherserpent]

My schedule's pretty free...uh, how many people on this reservation?

:(

[sharktrash]

Just me. Hey, shame I traded my candles away huh.

[ it's not blatant hitting on at least ]

[motherserpent]

Oh.

[Something shifts. It's not quite hitting on, but she gets his drift. She doesn't know much about him aside from has traveled with murderclown, but she's always been an optimistic person in general.]

I mean, the good news is that I do have a couple candles I never get to use.

[And condoms, but she isn't quite crass enough to say so immediately.]

[sharktrash]

Sounds like it's a date then.

[ Or would have been if you weren't, y'know, going to die. ]

Still around the hospital?

[motherserpent]

On my way back there now, actually. Going to take me probably two more days. How far out are you?

[sharktrash]

Zone three. That's gonna take a few days too. Hey, just gotta make sure it's worth the wait.

[ he might be implying something or he might be bragging about his cooking skills, who knows. ]

I'll let you know when I'm close by?

[motherserpent]

Sure! Sounds like it'll actually line up pretty well. I'll message you if anything comes up and I can't meet you.

@clowncutie92; text; Day 376

[clowngirl]

[The Joker is gone. Magenta is gone. It's as good a time as ever for Harley to eat her feelings. Unfortunately, Norfinbury takes some of the fun out of that. But Tess can cook, right? That's what she does when she's not looking for blood offerings.]

sooooo your holiness [How do you address a goddess again?]

if i had a pie crust, could you make me a pie?

my offering in return is


idk half a pie??

text

[motherserpent]

[Huh, look at that, someone actually taking her up on ye olde offer.]

I could make you something resembling a pie. What kind of pie were you thinking of?

[clowngirl]

OK so i'm assumin that a lemon meringue is a liiiiil too tricky under the circumstances but there's gotta be some sorta fruit fillin that's doable.

[motherserpent]

You've got pretty good timing, actually. I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow. Meringue isn't happening, easiest ones to do are solid fruits. Apple, cherry, that kind of stuff.

[clowngirl]

awesomesauce! cherry will do the trick! make it happen and you're my new fave goddess.

just don't tell thalia.

[motherserpent]

[Tess snorts in amusement.]

We don't really travel in the same circles, don't worry. And no blood sacrifices needed, bee-tee-dubs.

[clowngirl]

"PS: no fun"

got it

[motherserpent]

That's me. Goddess of the fun police.

@librarian; video; Day 391

[cahooted]

[His voice is rushed and tense, a little gravely from crying and trying to keep his emotions in check.]

Tess? I heard what happened at the bunker and just... when you get this, w-when you're back [when, not if] just, give me a call, please. Let me know you're okay. Let me know you're getting this? Please, and just--

Yeah. Just let me know when you're getting this.

[motherserpent]

[Aww, this is sweet. She knew there was a reason she liked him. He's so attached. She's not sure she can pull off an impression of the weaker version of herself over video, but text would probably be suspicious.]

Flynn! Hey, yeah. Yeah, I came back. That was...something. That was a lot of something.

video

[cahooted]

Hey! You're back!

[Oh, finally! Flynn looks and sounds a bit bleary-eyed and exhausted – the past couple of days and the fight with Peter yesterday just were a lot – but when her message comes in his face lights up with joyful relief.]

Welcome back. I'm... I'm really glad you're back. Are you okay? Where are you? Do you need anything? Do you know what your death price is, do you need any help?

[motherserpent]

Yeah, actually I, uh...I'm having some trouble over here. I'm kind of...blind?

[She didn't mean that to come out as a question. Maybe she should have thought of a fake death price before she called him back.]

[cahooted]

Blind? Oh man. Peter was blind, too, that's not fun.

Do you think you can find the video setting? If you point the camera around maybe I can figure out where you are.
