Chapter ~4~ [Video]

[imhisaunt]

 [Delmar is sitting in a cheerful looking room that has been done up in shades of delicate yellows and warm maroons. Seel's handiwork. As for Delmar himself, although he's been forced by the heat to relinquish his beloved sweaters and scarves in favor of a tank top, has still wrapped himself up in a pastel shawl, a way to stay cool without having to be uncovered. He doesn't mind the heat so much if he stays inside, but he cannot stand the thought of being so uncovered.

 

Despite this little personal dilemma, Delmar looks shy but cheerful as he gives the screen a little wave of his hand]

 

Hello, everyone, it's Delmar. I just wanted to make a little announcement. 

 

[He then gestures to the room around him]

 

Thanks to the very very big help of the wonderful Seel the bakery is ready to open. And thanks to Mr. Hope I have a month's supply of ingredients. 

 

[They've been in his apartment during the whole Null invasion, but to his good fortune they have survived.] 

 

Also, if there's anyone who might be interested in helping out here please don't be shy. Everyone is welcome and I would be very grateful for the help. And if you don't know how to bake that is perfectly alright, I would be more than happy to teach you. 

 

[He laces his fingers together before remembering something and getting up to grab something off screen]

 

Oh! And I've decided to name it the 'Bear Hug' Bakery [He returns into view with his two teddy bears, Harlan Jr. and the lampshade bear, Beauregard, both in knitted sweaters] I know it might sound silly but...well... [A bashful look] ...I thought it was cute. 

 

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. I hope you all have a good day.

[Delmar flushes pink, turning bashful]

Oh Harley--

[Before catching himself and remembering Harlan was not able to hear that. So instead he reaches for some paper nearby and holds it up reading 'Thank you, Harlan' with a little heart and smiley face]

i like ur blanket ( It's a shawl. Uncultured swine. )

whats used for money around here?

[Audio] he doesn't know how to text, sorry :P

[imhisaunt]

Well thank you very much.

[What a nice thing to say]

Why there isn't any type of money around here.

[am_i_a_monster]

I can help out.

You actually kept that lamp. That's funny.

[imhisaunt]

Well he needed a home, after all. I wouldn't have wanted him to be all alone.

Do you know how to bake?

Audio

[dreamsallotted]

I'm glad I could have helped out. Bake some nice pies, Delmar.

[Ag help him, Bear Hug Bakery.....]

Re: Audio

[imhisaunt]

I will forever be grateful. You must tell me what your favorite type of pie is so I can make it.

[farmboyjedi]

I think I'm going to have to stop in and have a look. I've got a bit of affinity for sweet treats.

Are you lucky enough to have anything chocolate?

[imhisaunt]

And you are always more than welcome.

And I'm afraid not just yet because of this awful food shortage. But I assure you as soon as I am able I'll be getting chocolate.

[Jo might have ignored this if he hadn't mentioned Seel. That did explain where her housemate had been a lot of the past few weeks.]

What do you have?

Re: Video

[imhisaunt]

Well we will have all the usual things, cookies, pies, cakes...

Do you have a favorite, miss?

[Laura tries for a smile, but it's shaky and a little uncertain]

I can help. I used to help with Meals on Wheels back home.

Re: Video

[imhisaunt]

Meals on wheels?

[He looks befuddled by that]

I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing

[in her concession to the heat, she's wearing fabric wound around her like a sari, rather than one of her usual gowns]

Everything looks wonderful, Delmar! I'm afraid I can't help--the sewing shop has me rather busy and I need to find a new source of fabric--but I'll be sure to stop by often to say hello.

[imhisaunt]

Now don't you worry, Miss Margaery, I wouldn't want you to go to any more trouble on my behalf than you already have. But I will certainly be looking forward to your visits.

[He's smiling broadly as he says that, but then it falters]

Was your fabric source Miss Delight, Margaery?

[toiletseat_girl]

A bakery? Seriously? Fucking hell, this is the best news I've heard in weeks.

Re: video

[imhisaunt]

[Delmar might look a bit flustered at that sort of language but he still manages a little smile]

Is it really? Oh, I'm so glad.

[thelastjoy]

You're gonna start sellin' food here? What kinda stuff you gonna make?

Re: voice;

[imhisaunt]

Well I plan on making all the classics. You know, cookies and pies and cakes...but I can make other things too.

[ex_matricide319]

[Oh damn. REAL food? Kiran didn't have his hopes up very high when he heard all the talk about needing to work together to gather it. Now he's not sure what to think. If there's a bakery here, how can there be worries about a food shortage?

Well, all that aside...]

Does this place use money? [he's going to assume the pocket change he arrived with won't be accepted in a place like this.]

[imhisaunt]

We don't, actually.

[He leans in to the camera as if whispering a secret]

Odd, isn't it? It took me a good while to get used to that.

[badchoicesmadeeasy]

[ Cake and sweets sound good as hell right about now.

But what does this place even do for currency? She has literally nothing on her. ]

So...whatcha got?

[imhisaunt]

We've got the classics. You know cakes, cookies, and right now I have sweet rolls in the oven.

Do you have something special you like?

[onlyanautomaton]

Congratulations on the successful completion of your project, Mr. Delmar.

Re: [audio]

[imhisaunt]

Why thank you! That is very kind of you to say.
