It's not actually possible to force himself to be happy, but Priestly can at least force himself back to work and back out into the world of people instead of keeping to the treehouse and slipping out at night to pick up whatever he needs to survive on. (He could probably have counted on Rachel to keep him supplied, but what kind of an asshole would that make him?) He has reponsibilities to the club and to the Winchester and here to the kitchen (not to mention the Council) and maybe keeping busy's the best thing to do.
Everyone's lost people. He's not alone in this.
Instead of making something ordinary, eggs or fruit or ham, he's making lots and lots of pancakes. Pancakes colored purple and red and pink with crushed fruit. Pancakes in happy shapes that he's not feeling like hearts and butterflies and balloons and bunny rabbits. He can't force himself to be happy, but that doesn't mean he can't try to make other people happy instead.
And everybody's got to eat. Even him.
[ ooc: While Priestly still has the piercings and the tattoos, his hair is not dyed and is lying limp and brown, and the facial hair is completely ungroomed. It's probably possible to mistake him for a new clone at first glance, if you don't know he's supposed to be there. Otherwise, breakfast is served for all! ]
