[Hey, look! Your resident wicked witch isn't looking like he's out for blood today! Yay! Actually, he's almost…suspiciously pleased, and given the fact that the beanie he's wearing is kind of horrible and dorky, it probably has nothing to do with that… Right?]

Now this is more like it. Random useful items! I'd love to negotiate for some books, if anyone’s come across any real ones. In the meantime...

[He gently rattles the jar of bees, just enough to show it off -- poor things didn't need to be bothered any more than they already were, having been stuffed in their glass prison.]

I'd suggest that anyone hanging around Hope’s temple leaves in the next, oh… Ten minutes? That should be enough. Especially if you're allergic to bees. I'm leaving an offering for our dear, beloved god.

[BEEEEEEEEES!!]

Probably. As long as it doesn't have chocolate chips, blueberries or any other fruit... I suppose raisins might be okay.

[They were probably dry enough??? He doesn't know a lot about raisins.]

[notjelly]

...Maybe you should just give me a list of what you can eat.

Boring bread. Jerky. But mostly bread.

[Actually, let him just go ahead and switch over to private... He's desperate, and she seems too stupid to be plotting against him in any way.]

Basically, it's a water allergy. The more liquid something is, the more it's going to hurt me. I have a hard time eating pretty much anything, but dry is better.

[notjelly]

How anyone can have a water allergy is beyond me, but oh well! Bet it's a magic thing, innit? Soda bread, then. Oh, and scones! Hard cheese biscuits, maybe, once I come up with a way to get cheese...

Dry but flavorful. Hmmm. I do like a challenge!

[private]

[purpleknee]

Yes, it's a magic thing. Which is why soda isn't much better... I've never heard of someone using it for bread.

[The cheese was...tempting. He hadn't a clue how she was going to nail that, either.]

Very, very dry. The driest you can get it while making it taste good.

[notjelly]

Oh, pfft, no, no, not soda. Not like, drinking soda! Soda as in baking soda? It's very dry, but flavorful if you do it right. Same with scones, though the problem is still the butter.

What do people do for meat around here, anyway?

[purpleknee]

Oh. [huff] Well it's not a ridiculous assumption. Especially from someone who doesn't do a lot of cooking! Or baking.

[Warrick, she's helping you... Chill.]

I have no clue. I don't need to eat often, so I've been making do with bread.

[private]

[notjelly]

Oh, hush! Don't complain when I'm out to help you.

Hm, well, I'll find out. Just bread, oh, you poor thing. Well, I'll see to it you get at least a little variety.

[private]

[purpleknee]

[aughh!! but also aaaaa.]

I appreciate it! I'd say I'd keep an eye out for you, but you make that a little difficult, don't you, your majesty?

[Queen bee looks good on you, girl.]

[private]

[notjelly]

Hu hu hu!

[She turns abruptly human.]

This might make things easier! This is my go-to form for when I'm human, though I tend to mix and match with the shapes!

[private]

[purpleknee]

[Ah, much better. Warrick will definitely remember this face -- especially if she really does have braids like one of the Dorothies did.]

Good. That's quite the ability you've got there. My name is Warrick Chopper, by the way.

[private]

[notjelly]

[The braids come and go, but the face generally stays the same.]

And I'm Camille! I know, I know, I'm awesome! It's nice to meet you, Warrick, even if it was over a bunch of bees!

[private]

[purpleknee]

Oh come on, bees aren't a bad way to meet people.

[notjelly]

Pfft, alright, well, you have a point.
