hadriel | Chapter ~4~ [Video]

[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.

omg. this is awesome. nice work del.
and the name is cute. it suits u.
im down to help out w. anything u need btw. just lmk.

[yes yes go on del be concerned about his eyesight]

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

whats used for money around here?

I can help out.

You actually kept that lamp. That's funny.

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

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

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?

[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]

Well thank you very much.

[What a nice thing to say]

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

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

Do you know how to bake?

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

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.

I do. Hannibal taught me to cook and bake.

[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?

I'm glad I could help, Delmar. I miss building things.

[If only Delmar needed him to sign and read over important political documents, then he'd be so happy.]

Back home, our cook Yarrow would make a raspberry cream pie. It was quite good.

......but I haven't had chocolate often in the last forty years.

[Chocolate was rather hard to come by when your world was post-apocalyptic. Fruit and cream were easy. Chocolate was by trade usually reserved for special occasions. Not exactly pie material.]

I can't wait to taste your work, Delmar.

[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.

[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.

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

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

[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.]

ya np ( Killjoys are super attracted to color, so of course that would be the first thing he sees. They're like bees. Really annoying, loud bees. )

like...at all? no sorta money *at all*?? thats kinda weird but w/e...whats the most valuable tradestuff? im guessin not water & gasoline

That sounds good.

Oh well we don't really trade either. Not unless you want to.

Hannibal? Why that is an interesting name. [~~ok, Delmar~~] Is he a friend of yours?

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

Do you have a favorite, miss?

Meals on wheels?

[He looks befuddled by that]

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

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?
