poly_chromatic | The 71st Song [Accidental Video]

[There’s laughing at first, familiar laughter of one Rapunzel and the not as commonly heard laughter of Charlie. Her voice is muffled at first and then a bag of flour is moved by someone and Charlie’s voice is clearer, if coming in mid sentence.]

---didn’t grab enough mint from upstairs. Oops. And we made too much pie cru---Phantom! Stop running between my feet! Crazy animal. Rapunzel, where did the apples we just cut up go?

Uh...They’re on the counter, in the big green bowl, next to the sink!

[Rapunzel laughs as Phantom runs past them again, moving to grab the bowl with the apples, moving to hand them to Charlie.]

Do you want me to grab more mint?

[Charlie takes the apples, nodding.] Just a bit. I misread the directions and am about a tablespoon short for the chocolate mint raspberry pies.

[There’s a yelp from Phantom and a brief moment where he actually appears on camera. He knows the device is on, hence him behaving like a complete idiot. And then Charlie spots it and gives it a wave. She’s clearly in a good mood.] Hi, City.

Oooh, is the camera on?

[Rapunzel smiles and waves at it, before darting off to go and grab the mint, coming back a few minutes later with the supplies.]

Do we have enough jars?

[Charlie does a quick count, looking at Rapunzel with a nod.] Yes. There’s more in the cabinet above. Also, so far? We’ve made about thirty of these. I think we need help getting rid of them. I know at least....three people who’d help. One of them is my room mate. One is Merlin and the other is Dean.

[Charlie picks one of the pie jars up and holds it up to the camera. It’s a blueberry crumble pie jar.] What do you think, Dean? That look good to you?

We better make sure to get extra for Dean...he really likes pie, after all. Oh! We should make some for Sam...and I should bring home some extras for Serrure...

[Gotta make sure the new roomie is happy, after all! She smiles and waves at the camera again.]

I can’t believe I’ve never made pie jars before... Where did you learn to do this, Charlie?

A book I got here, actually. I’ll let you borrow it. It’s---[And when Charlie reaches for the aforementioned book, the device gets bumped and shuts off, but not before displaying a large group of fresh from the oven pie jars.]

[ooc: red is Charlie, and pink is Rapunzel.]

Know what I love most about cooking, Percy? The fact that recipes are more like guidelines than specific rules. How do you think people came up with so many different recipes to begin with?

Exactly! I didn't know pies could be made in jars either, but they're really good, really easy to make, and they're smaller, so you can make a whole bunch of them.

I understand there's some room for experimentation, but surely a jar isn't a good cooking vessel?

It worked beautifully. You should try one.

What flavors did you say you had? Raspberry mint?

Among other things.

Charlie mentioned savory flavors - what do you have?

Well, what are you interested in? We've got the basics, you know, apple and blueberry crumble, and cherry...and we've got some more interesting things, like chocolate cherry and chocolate raspberry mint, and I want to try a vanilla cream pie...not sure if it'll work in a jar, though...

The ones that are less like desserts are the pear-prosciutto. There's a ham and egg one with a white cheddar and chicken pot pies. Might try something with vegetables next. Not sure yet.
