119 Howls: [Video] 3.14

[Mercy's looking absolutely exhausted, as if she hasn't slept for days. Which would probably be fairly accurate. She's been indulging in her go-to activities for dealing with bad emotions, namely baking and cleaning. The glimpses someone might get of the kitchen in the house show everything spotless and cleaned to within an inch of its life, as would the rest of the house if you could see it.

The problem at the moment is the sheets and sheets of chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies - and are those brownies over there?

She's staring at the latest batch she's started in dismay.]

I don't know what's going on, but every time I try to make something I end up tripling the recipe. At this rate there won't be room for anything in the house but cookies and brownies and the freezer's already full. Including the chest freezer downstairs. And if I bring anymore to the store Donna may kill me for getting crumbs all over her paperwork.

Tosh? Ianto? Fresh hot cookies?

Could the Welcome Center or Youth Center use a few hundred dozen or something? Anyone? Please.

I have so many more than any of us could ever eat.

[Oh so very cursed. Come get a cookie - or 3.14 of them if you'd rather. Voice/video for anyone who wants, action for anyone in the house or who might want to come by to get cookies or make Mercy stop baking.]

[Well, at least that's less harmful than putting thrice the force behind spells, or doing some spell thrice, and whatnot.]

I wouldn't mind cookies!

You know where I am!

Or do you want me to bring you some - wherever you are?

No, I'll come to you.

[And hopefully he won't blow anything up or something. That would be just his luck.]

Okay, I'll be here.

In the kitchen.

Taking batch number 7 million out of the oven.

Or should I say 3.14 million?

[He chuckles.]

Perhaps!

Death is a bit harsh. But all of these will go to my hips, you know.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I've heard you muttering over the grease I get on the paperwork.

I swear I clean up.

I could try some low calorie ones?

What? Me? I would never! [ Grumble, grumble, under her breath: ] Don't understand how it gets everywhere, really.

[ Perky voice time! ] Really? Cause those fudge-peanut-butter ones? To. Die. For.

[And she's smiling despite herself.]

I'll see what I can do.

You've got enough to feed the whole city already, from the looks of it. For about a week.

I know.

I can't help it.

This is what I do when I'm stressed.

And well... yeah.

I could sit on the couch and cry all day if you'd rather?

[She couldn't actually. Not for a whole day. And not where people would see her.]

Edited 2012-03-14 15:35 (UTC)

[Ianto sighs.] Mercy... why don't you take a nap, or something. You look exhausted. I'll make you some tea and clean up in there.

Please?

[She raised an eyebrow at him.]

How well are you sleeping?

And you don't have to clean up after me. I'm very careful not to mess up your kitchen.

[And she pauses, struck by something.]

How funny. I still think of it as your kitchen and someplace I have to be careful not to mess up. Lucky me, though, I don't drink coffee, so I've never messed with that giant monstrosity of a coffee maker other you bought.

But really, I can do this.

Though, if you wanted to make me a cup of hot chocolate, I wouldn't object.

Looks like you've been busy. Youth Center could definitely use some if you're in the neighborhood. And I wouldn't mind taking a few off your hands just for me too.

You can have as many as you want - Youth Center, personal, whatever you'd like.

Derek...?

He's back.

And he doesn't know me.

[He'd have to be an idiot not to know who she's talking about. And Derek isn't an idiot. He can't even imagine how he'd feel if Reid or Penelope forgot who he was. Of course, he knew them from back home, not from here.] Aw, Princess... that's hard. For someone who's supposed to know who you are not to. I'm sorry.

[Penny, who he was very good friends with before, being back and not remembering anyone crosses his mind.] Seems to happen a lot here.

I just don't know what to do.

Except not ever let on that he and I were... involved.

Oooo! Bring some by City Solutions and they'll be gone within seconds. That's the thing about these office type places. People love the yumminess of baked goods.

I probably have enough for the whole office building!

Got somebody you can send over to collect them?

With this 3.14 doubling thing, I may never get away from the oven.

At least you're doing useful things with it though! I mean you could be obsessed with a certain hallway walking it over and over and over. Your repetitive thing is producing yummy goodness, so there's definitely a plus side to yours. Plus you're spreading the love which is super awesome for everyone.

I never thought of that.

Baking at least won't make me completely nuts.

And yes, as you said, as long as I get such a great outpouring of people willing to eat them... Not bad at all.

[Tosh comes downstairs to check things out and looks, well, overwhelmed by the amount of cookies filling the kitchen.] Oh my...

Here. [She takes the cookbook from Mercy and begins rewriting the recipes on a different sheet of paper. What's she doing? Reducing everything by two-thirds of its original amounts, of course!] If you have to keep baking, then this should help matters.

[Mercy looked at her with relief.]

You're a lifesaver, Tosh.

And please, have a cookie.

Well, if you insist. [Tosh smiles at her and takes a cookie, munching on it.] We've got to get rid of them somehow, after all.

Dare I ask why you're baking so much?

When I'm stressed I bake. Or clean.

[Mercy gestured towards the house she'd scrubbed to within an inch of its life.]

I cleaned All The Things, so...

It's better than drinking myself silly, I suppose.
