[The lights in the mess hall kitchen indicate that someone is burning the midnight oil. If you happen to wander in, Ned is furiously baking pies in a flurry of flour and fruit. There are rows and stacks of pies and the ovens seemed to be occupied in rotation]

in character as the kids say these days, ic (dead people), :'(

Ned ... tomorrow's Tuesday.

They freeze okay. Or maybe if no one tries to eat them they won't be seen as a threat to tradition. Is it only the food in the mess hall that gets turned into sludge? We could store them in the cabin.

tobethemiracle January 26 2011, 01:59:56 UTC

Just ... stop, Ned. This doesn't help.

[Puts his hands over the counter and leans on it, not looking up but at least not frantically making pies]

tobethemiracle January 26 2011, 02:08:12 UTC

You're leaving. Good. This

[and he gestures with one hand to EVERYTHIIIIIING.]

is not worth your time.

pie_or_death January 26 2011, 02:11:33 UTC

What else should I be doing?

tobethemiracle January 26 2011, 02:13:16 UTC

Talking to the people you're not going to see again, I imagine.

pie_or_death January 26 2011, 02:16:10 UTC

I was going to do that. But if I do that too soon, then I've said goodbye to everyone and it's just me hanging around awkwardly.

tobethemiracle January 26 2011, 02:18:19 UTC

Yes, because making a surplus of pies that in two days won't even exist anymore is not awkward.

pie_or_death January 26 2011, 02:19:08 UTC

You had better start eating.

tobethemiracle January 26 2011, 06:19:53 UTC

...so this is it, is it?

pie_or_death January 26 2011, 16:07:09 UTC

... No.

[turns toward Ronan, wiping his hands on his apron]

I'm going home. You know when you look so forward to something and then it's suddenly definitely going to happen and it all seems way too sudden? Yeah, that. I can't wait to see Chuck and get back to my life but, you know, I'll kind of miss being here.

I'm pretty sure I've never been the one to say goodbye. I don't have any practice and I'm awful at it but I guess I should start by not pretending anything, like I'll be back or that pies are going to make it okay.

tobethemiracle January 26 2011, 20:28:28 UTC

It's a good place to start.

pie_or_death January 28 2011, 15:39:02 UTC

I'm sorry for-- Well, for not living up to your expectations, I guess. I have a lot to work on.
