RD16, log + orb!

Characters: Peeta Mellark and you.
Open? Yes.
Where: Market quarter of Schwanheim, in a previously vacant storefront.
When: Early afternoon, RD 16
What: Peeta is opening a bakery and needs some taste-testers.
Warnings: None. Schmoopyness?

[Peeta's got flour in his hair, arms covered in dough, and a smile on his face. The crackling of a stove can be heard, if you listen closely; the locale itself is bright and sunny.]

Rue, you wanted cake, didn't you? And anyone else can come by, if you want. There's plenty to go around.



The castle dressmakers were...pushy. No worse than the stylists at the capital, but Faolan was right--they wouldn't give him pants. What he got wasn't so bad, though, if he rolled up the sleeves, although the shoes weren't very comfortable.

Buying a building with some of his gold (the amount of which was staggering; his jaw dropped when the treasurer had opened his vault in the castle) was easy. The shop was spacious, clean and well-lit with large windows to allow sun to spill in over the floor. The stove was nice, too; an old one, fed with wood. Peeta would have chopped the logs himself, but he hadn't been able to get his hands on an axe; the townspeople had insisted it was unbecoming of a princess to do manual labor.

So he'd bought some of those, too, along with three sacks of flour, raw cocoa, milk, butter, sugar, and a myriad of other ingredients he'd only read about. Currently in the oven was a batch of sweet buns--Katniss liked them; the smell called to mind her dark braid and bright, calculating eyes--and he was whisking together batter for a chocolate cake while he waited.


[[OOC: Just let me know in your subject line whether you're talking back to him on the orb or physically showing up. :3]]

folklorist: (Curiousity killed the cat you know?)

Orb but it'll probably change to action because...cake :|

You're making cakes? [ Helios sounds far too excited about this prospect. ]

D-Do you need any help?
folklorist: (I'm just your average headmaster yep)

:3!

Ah. S-Sweet buns too... [ This is quite possibly the best day ever. Helios' smile is rather broad now. ]

Oh, heavens no. I-I don't mind in the slightest! Where, um, are you exactly? [ He's not sure of the other's location at the current moment. ]
folklorist: (Probably going to run into something)

[ Helios is just easily excitable, especially when it comes to baking. You will have a fan Peeta. ] Ah! Yes, I know where that is. I'll be right over then.

[ Aaand a few minutes later Peeta will see Helios carrying a bundle of wood in his hand, and there's also some floating on a tiny rotating tornado. Some of the townspeople will balk and step away as he makes his way over to where ever Peeta is at the time. ]
