( The girl who appears on the Seal looks a little something like this now (buh-bye green Martian skin!). To some she might be recognizable and to others, she could just be a new person arriving for all they know. But once she speaks, her voice is what should give her away. )

Is... ah-- is there anyone here who might be interested in baking?

What's going on with the new look?

( It's an unconscious habit she's begun to develop - reaching up to smooth a hand along the lower portion of her hair, twist it around her fingers. Only when she's nervous or unsure of something, though!

Like now!

This new look, she's trying it out for the first time and it only makes sense for her to try to fit in with everyone. They're going to be there for a while... )

You... you don't like it?

[flashesforward]

It's not that I don't like it, I mean you--[Is about to say "look good no matter what", but after all of the awkwardness from before, he stops himself.]

--just haven't used this form before here.

Should I not... try to fit in?

( It's a sincere question. And she's still playing with her hair and glancing at the Seal and then away. )

I love to bake! What are you going to make?

[Video]

[likesyourtshirt]

You do? ( See this face? She is VERY excited to hear this. ) Me too! Or I'm trying to get better at what I can do already, which is making cookies and cupcakes, but sometimes they end up a little burnt...

( M'gann cuts herself off once she realizes that she's rambling. )

Was there anything you had in mind to make? I was thinking trying different types of cupcakes, maybe muffins...

[mei_blossom]

Mmm, those all sound really good! [Pausing to consider] Do you have a recipe in mind, maybe?

[Video]

[likesyourtshirt]

No... I am sorry. I can only remember the recipes for the cookies from Granny Jones's recipes.

Are you asking for a good baker?

Video

[likesyourtshirt]

No - I am asking for others to join me. If they want to.

[ He sort of... stares at her for a moment. ]

What?
Wait, let me guess. Is it for a baking party of some sorts?

Video

[likesyourtshirt]

I wouldn't call it a party, no. I just thought... maybe there were others here who liked to bake as much as I do.

[ he's a little unsure if he should answer since she might think it's really weird that a guy loves to bake but... he can't resist in the end :( ]

I... like baking very much.

( Don't be shy, Asuka! M'gann might look a little surprised to see a guy admitting to this since the guys in her team don't care for actually baking but will eat whatever she bakes, but the look fades into a big, warm smile. )

You do? That's great!

[idealwife]

[ that definitely makes him feel a bit shy... but in a good way at least! ]

Yes. I do it almost every day.

What kinds of things do you bake?

[lightcharms]

I am! It sounds like a lot of fun!

[likesyourtshirt]

It is! I enjoy every minute of it. And watching Granny Jones... She makes so much, I don't know how she does it.

[lightcharms]

I don't know how to make much myself but I have a friend back home who was amazing with cooking and baking things. Everything he made was incredible.

If only he was here to join us.
