[Voice]Ah, um... hello, everyone! This is Shirley. Er, well... today, I was baking some jam tarts for the house and, well... I got my measurements wrong. To save my dough, I decided to just enlarge the batch and I ended up making much more than what I had originally planned ( Read more... )

[this tiny, grubby person is trying to steal your tarts when your back is turned, Shirl.]

prayingone December 18 2009, 20:50:45 UTC

[When she turns around, Shirley finds herself ... not as nearly as surprised as she's been this afternoon. I think she's running out of shock.]

Um... would you like a glass of milk with those?

erenwaif December 18 2009, 20:54:20 UTC

[!!! caught. He tries to scuttle off.]

prayingone December 18 2009, 21:16:02 UTC

I'm sorry ... I didn't mean to startle you.

chivalrousness December 18 2009, 12:25:17 UTC

[And Shirley's tarts clearly bring all the legenderbend boys to the yard, so have a Cori show up as well and hesitantly look through the front door.]

prayingone December 18 2009, 20:51:56 UTC

[Fennes doesn't mean one who prays: it means one who pimps. Anyway, Shirley is still in her kitchen, baking up a storm. Maybe if she finishes these tarts, she'll come out of this crazy Twilight Zone and things will go back to normal. ... as normal as they get in Luceti, anyway.]

chivalrousness December 18 2009, 20:53:32 UTC

[he knocks politely on the door. unlike all those other people.]

Excuse me.

prayingone December 18 2009, 21:19:59 UTC

[Shirley hears the knock from the kitchen; her hands are full with a tray, so she'll need a moment to set it down. She calls out over her shoulder, so her guest won't think they're being ignored.]

Just a moment!...

[It's not too long before Shirley goes to the door, using her apron to rub most of the flour off her hands. When she opens it, she ... stares a little.

Because that's Chloe. Chloe without boobs.]

Merines, are you all right? There are too many Orerines around here.

[She's clearly not quite so pleased to see this version of the Merines, but it's still the Merines. Respect is required.]

prayingone December 18 2009, 20:54:20 UTC

[Okay, I lied. The genderbends -- especially obvious ones like you, Wynter -- still give her enough pause to stare for a moment before responding.]

U-um. I'm ... I'm fine...

zeldelques December 18 2009, 20:55:40 UTC

You're certain? [if any uncouth Orerines men had laid a hand on the Merines...]

prayingone December 18 2009, 21:22:41 UTC

I am... [... awkward. She holds up a plate of cooled tarts.] Um. Would you like to try one?...

dancingfists December 18 2009, 19:28:01 UTC

[how about another Senel, Shirl? This one's got a guitar, though, and... well, he was playing the guitar until he noticed the food.]

What's up with all the tarts?

prayingone December 18 2009, 20:58:06 UTC

[Finally, a spot of normalcy in a sea of chaos... Shirley sighs in relief as she bends over to pull another tray of tarts from the oven. No, she hasn't actually seen Senel yet.]

Well... I was making tarts for a snack, and I got the measurements wrong... so to save the batch, I -- [And this is where she turns around and takes a look at him. ... where did your face tattoos go, Senel.] Just... enlarged the batch...

dancingfists December 18 2009, 22:04:19 UTC

[shrugs apologetically] I'm not the Senel from your world, right?

It's fine. I'm used to reactions like that by now.

prayingone December 19 2009, 03:08:28 UTC

I-I'm sorry... I didn't meant to stare...

[Because Poke-Shirl's too nervous to come over and ask for a tart herself, she'll hide behind the door while Vaporeon inspects the area for her.]

Vaporeon! I-I told you to look around, not eat the tarts!

[... It's not exactly working.]

prayingone December 18 2009, 21:02:20 UTC

[Shirley doesn't see her otherself yet, but she does spot Vaporeon. She'll crouch down to be closer to its level, smiling at it.]

Why, hello there... do you like sweets?

leadershirley December 18 2009, 22:05:18 UTC

[Ignoring his Shirley, Vaporeon happily nods and gestures towards the sweets.

Shirley'll be grumbling incoherent curses in the background.]

prayingone December 19 2009, 03:07:40 UTC

[Shirley will reach up to the counter, and pick up a few peach tarts that she'll feed one by one to Vaporeon.]

You're very pretty... what sort of creature are you, I wonder?
