119 Howls: [Video] 3.14

[coyote_walking]

[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.]

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?

[stopbleepingme]

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.

[coyote_walking]

[And she's smiling despite herself.]

I'll see what I can do.

[stopbleepingme]

Brilliant! In the mean time, I could send someone around to bring them to the Welcome Center. I'm sure they'll just get gobbled down there, like you said...

[coyote_walking]

That would be great.

I'm baking us out of house and home.

[stopbleepingme]

You'll give the witch from Hansel & Gretel a run for her money at this rate!

[coyote_walking]

I promise not to cook and eat any stray children who wander into the house, how's that?

[stopbleepingme]

[ A hearty laugh. ]

Probably for the best. I hear they're awful for giving people indigestion...

[coyote_walking]

And if you have to wait until they're fat enough - well, that's a whole other can of worms.

So to speak.
