[Private to Rapunzel:]

Hey. So. Toph is gone. I think that leaves us in charge. We might need to hire a few new people.


[Public: Audio;]

Toph Bei Fong has left the City. The Jasmine Dragon is under new management, now run by myself and Rapunzel.

[end audio.][Action;]


[Charlie's at The Jasmine Dragon, sorting through paperwork, running through schedules and doing inventory. Toph is gone and she has a lot to do. Feel free to stop in and help, though. She'd appreciate it.]

I'm sorry your friend went home. You doing okay down there?

video;

[charring]

Would you pretend to believe me if I lied and said I'm fine?

video;

[beyourarmy]

You know I wouldn't. I'd just call you on your bullshit.

I keep meaning to go to that place anyway. I should go down and see you both.

[charring]

That's what makes you a fantastic friend and person, Setsuna. Come on by. I'm stress-cooking and need an opinion on something.

video; --> action?

[beyourarmy]

You should've just said you were cooking from the beginning. I would've headed down there from the start.

Be there in a bit.

[charring]

[And Charlie's in the kitchen of the shop. She told one of the npc employees to send Setsuna right back where Charlie is working on a vegetable and chicken soup. It ended up being a bit more vegetable heavy than she originally intended but eh. She doesn't seem to care.]

action:

[beyourarmy]

[He's used to a fair amount of vegetables in his diet anyway.]

Yo! That smells pretty good. I could smell it as soon as I walked in.

Re: action:

[charring]

[Well, that works then. Charlie grins at Setsuna, heading over for a hug.] Oh, good. It should be ready in a few minutes and you get the first try before anyone else.

[justamessenger]

So turns out my old job is now defunct. Any chance you ladies need some angelic intervention down there?

action:

[beyourarmy]

[He hugs her in return, a little bit of a squeeze since he worries over her. Especially every time someone leaves.]

Good. You know how to make someone feel special. Is it ready yet?

[charring]

That sucks. I have no problem with you helping around here. Rapunzel and I would appreciate it.

action:

[charring]

That depends. Do you want it in a bread bowl or a regular bowl?

action:

[beyourarmy]

Bread bowl? They make those? Never had soup in one before. I want to try that.

[justamessenger]

I'm very good at following instructions. Well. Mostly good.

[charring]

You're lucky I'm relaxed. [teasing.] When can you start training?

Re: action:

[charring]

Yeah. They're pretty epic. I think the soup would go well in a garlic-dill bowl. That sound good?

action:

[beyourarmy]

I don't know. Just make it. I'm hungry. And all this talk of bread bowls and soup and garlic is making it worse. [In fact, have a tummy grumble, Charlie.]

action:

[charring]

[Aww, Setsuna. Charlie has your food a moment later, handing it over with a grin.] Here. Enjoy. It's hot. I figured it'd be good for fall.

action:

[beyourarmy]

It looks good, and it smells good.

[He's not even bothering to find a seat, just digging in already. Tearing off the bread and dipping it in.]

Bread bowls. [CHEWING. Swallow.] Are awesome.

action:

[charring]

They are the best thing. I'm trying to perfect cake bowls but that's a little difficult.

action:

[beyourarmy]

[Cake bowls suddenly sound like Heaven.]

Why?

Re: action:

[charring]

Because it sounds like the perfect place for ice cream.

action:

[beyourarmy]

No. Why are they difficult?

action:

[charring]

Ah. Um. They get soggy fast.

action:

[beyourarmy]

Ah? That sucks, because ice cream cake bowls would be perfect.

Isn't there a tougher kind of cake you could use? Like the bread bowls feel like stiffer, slightly harder bread on the outside than usual.
