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]]

Bakura paused on his walk back from the market. Was that...

Following his nose and curiosity, he wound up at the bakery. That... hadn't been there the day before, had it?

"Hello?" he called, putting a hand on his rediculously over sized mage hat to keep it from falling off.
shiromadoushi: (Uwaaaaa~)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-08-23 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Heeeeh, you bake too?" Bakura exclaimed, face lighting up. "Western style sweets?" he guessed, entering the bakery properly.

"District twelve?" Bakura blinked, curious.
shiromadoushi: (Side smile happy happy)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-08-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Not any place Bakura had heard of, but he was very easily distracted by the sight of the sweet buns. "Sure! They smell really good!"
shiromadoushi: (Small smile)

Bakura nodded, shifting the plate a little and waving his hand back and forth over it to help the bun cool. "I'm sure she must appreciate it."

His smile was a little wistful, expression distant as he thought of the kitchen in Hell Towers and of all the baking he'd done there for his family of friends.

[Orb first, then into action?]

What kind of cake? [Not that it really matters; cake is cake!]
rutagraveolens: (Peony)

[personal profile] rutagraveolens 2012-08-24 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Are they hard to make?
rutagraveolens: (Clover)

[personal profile] rutagraveolens 2012-08-24 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Can we make flowers with bright colors?

I would love to stop by, but I'm afraid I'm out of town, at the moment. [And, indeed, the Orb shows Giles pretty clearly outside the city limits, in a wilder environ than can be found even around Schwanheim.]

Still. Um, I should warn you that m-my housemate is, um, almost certainly going to be stopping by, now that you've made the offer. [Giles smiles affectionately at the thought of Helios.]

Well, I thought I'd start for home today. There is, um, rather a great deal to see, out here, but...well, I've seen enough as it is. Besides, embarrassing as it is to admit, I only packed enough for a couple of days in any case.

[...] You're a baker, then?
tatra: (Applause)

ORB FIRST BECAUSE MANNERS also sorry I'm so late :(

[personal profile] tatra 2012-08-25 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my! I didn't know you baked.
tatra: (Smiling eyes)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-08-25 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I am Princess Tatra of Chizeta. It's a pleasure to meet you, Peeta Mellark.

I've actually seen the thorns first hand, if that counts. Didn't manage to find, um, m-much in the way of encouragement, but...well, um, th-that might count for something.

Also found the beach, for what it's worth.
