[ screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (high pitched feedback) then the feed is clear again ]

Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump.

[ it's the sound of cupcakes being dumped all over the City, in the streets, into chimneys, in the bathtub?! it's just cupcakes everywhere okay ]

Scrrrtch! Scrrrtch! Scrrrtch! Scrrrtch!

...what in the world?!

[Farah's just. She doesn't even know what to make of this.]

Why cupcakes?

[mechanicalmice]

[Well there's just giggling on this end!]

[omelet_fu]

...that doesn't answer my question.

[mechanicalmice]

Can citizen say please?

voice;

[king_kazma]

Is that supposed to help?

voice;

[mechanicalmice]

Citizen's choice~!

voice;

[king_kazma]

Communication is part of working together too.

[prefers_chess]

Oh, boy. This time it's raining miniature cake.

[mechanicalmice]

PIECES OF ART.

[prefers_chess]

It's passé.

[mechanicalmice]

You're passé.

[Cue Chris reading through the colourful posters. And grinning. THIS WILL WORK, RIGHT? PENNY SAVES THE DAY? Penny stops the deities from being mean? Or maybe they misunderstood... They did just paste them up everywhere and hand out cupcakes, it looks like. But still! That is a good letter! And a great try on Penny's part!

Chris hopes it works, because he could do with a gentler, friendlier City.]

[Cue Mouse freezing like a deer in headlights when she spots Chris because really, she doesn't have her game face on or anything of the sort, rolled up copies under her arms and what not. After quickly concocting a plan she drops those 'posters' then skips her way over to Chris.]

Hello.

action

[justcautious]

[Chris turns at the sound of the voice and, seeing Mouse, smiles a bit nervously.]

Oh, hullo. You're one o' them gods of the City, then, aren't you? I talked t'you before. About th'essay. Yeah?

action

[mechanicalmice]

[Oh good, he's not one of those citizens who would first mouth off at a deity than feel unnerved by them. Mouse curtsies in a most ladylike manner.]

Mouse, who remembers you too.

[1/2]

[horrible_penny]

[horrible_penny]

You guys read your mail! And the cupcakes are adorable!

Thank you--Mouse, right? Thank you so much!

[Actually, she's not sure if this is a good thing. It seems like a good thing, but a lot of good things end up being slightly less than good.]

[mechanicalmice]

That's right, this is Mouse!

[Just wait until Penny tries one, although the flavor is a minor thing compared to being able to lure the slugs out.]

[horrible_penny]

I really, really appreciate the response, Mouse. ...Miss Mouse? Mrs. Mouse?

[Mouse will not hear any complaints about the taste of the cupcakes. No need to go about insulting the deities' baking!]
