Video: Public Service Princess

It seems as if the arrival cycle is over now. Allow me to extend a belated welcome to everyone who was pulled into Vatheon this past cycle. My name is Zelda, and I work with the Welcoming Committee here. Please drop by if you have any questions about our current situation as foreigners in the city. You are also free to ask me here, though there are some topics I would prefer to not discuss over the network.

I would also like to encourage new arrivals that are capable of fighting to look into joining the Defense Force. While things are generally peaceful here, there are some dangerous situations from time to time. Death is not permanent in this place, but it is still rather traumatic and we should do our best to avoid having it happen. If you are interested, please get in touch with Serph or Ky Kiske.

You can do that?

[He looks up, a little surprised. He's just no good at organization and stuff. It never occurs to him.]

You can! I believe the process is called lamination.

[Rather than alphabetizing though, perhaps color coding would be easier for Gamzee? Especially if it's bright neon colors.]

I wouldn't mind putting these in order and protecting them if you like.

[She could make his recipe stack look like a rainbow. Gamzee might have to weep from the beauty, really.]

Really? You'd all do that for a motherfucker?

Of course! Here...

[She does have a pen on hand, so she writes "dessert" at the top of the red velvet cake recipe, then uses her magic to highlight the edges of the paper with pink. Light pink colors make her think of sweet things.]

We could color code it, too.

[Gamzee watches her do so with interest, his eyes growing round and wide when she marks it in colour. Magically marks it in colour. With magic.

He reaches over, sort of reverently, taking the page from her, staring at the marked top of it.]

Holy shit.

[omg magic.]

Can we do that with alla these?

[His reactions are always amusing. Sometimes she wonders if she shouldn't send little colored lights floating around the room like she does when she plays with a cat just to see what he does.]

Of course! If you would be willing to demonstrate the baking while I organize these, we should be able to do both at once.

[She prefers to watch once before diving in, anyway.]

[He would likely just roll onto his back, unable to deal with all the miracles.]

Sure thing, chica. We can do that no prob.

[In fact, let him just grab the bowls they need for baking.]

I don't get many peeps watching me do this shit, but fuck, if it be gettin' your glad on to, what sort of motherfucker would I all be to say no? No kinda of motherfucker what I would like to be that's for sure!

[Gamzee's existence is a happy one. Truly, ignorance is bliss.]

All right! I'll be right behind you.

[She sounds a little too cheerful as she starts to organize the scattered papers, first separating them by category (and doing a little rough alphabetizing when she can).]

[Everybody should live like him except then everybody would probably die from not getting food for the fridge.

Gamzee gives the recipe a quick once over, before he sets to work.]

Aight first what we all gotta be fuckin' doing at here, is get all this shit nice and fuckin' tight in a bowl.

[He starts dumping in the ingredients, taking a very loose-fingered approach to it all. He certainly, more or less, sticks to the right proportions but he does a lot of eyeballing too.]

[But he's just dumping, he's not sifting or measuring or anything! This is how Zelos does it too though. He always goes on about how she needs to put her heart into baking instead of measuring every little thing, but...

The princess continues to watch Gamzee as she organizes his recipes, trying not to cringe at the approximations.]

[He is so not sifting at all. A blasphemy! He even juggles the eggs for a moment before cracking them into the batter. And all the while idly keeping up a chill hum-chatter.

And wiping his fingers on his shirt.]

Aight, lets fuckin' whip you up some fine-ass delights here.

[He digs out the whisk so he can start whisking the batter together, peering over curiously at the notes she is sorting.]

You doing fine there, sister?
