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.]

[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!

[coyote_walking]

You know where I am!

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

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

No, I'll come to you.

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

Re: [Video]

[coyote_walking]

Okay, I'll be here.

In the kitchen.

Taking batch number 7 million out of the oven.

Or should I say 3.14 million?

[stopbleepingme]

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

[likesavantgarde]

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

[coyote_walking]

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.]

[coyote_walking]

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?

[He chuckles.]

Perhaps!

Re: [Video]

[coyote_walking]

Please, then.

Come eat!

And then take as many as you can carry with you!

[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...

[ Voice ]

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

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.

[ voice ]

[the_dawnster]

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.

[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.

[Private]: [ Voice ]

[coyote_walking]

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.

Re: [ voice ]

[coyote_walking]

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.

[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?

[Private]: [ Voice ]

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[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.

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.
