[ Claire's inside her apartment, sitting cross-legged on her bed with a dark green comforter covering her body. It's obvious that she's tired - as she should be, considering the time, but she had too much on her mind to be calm enough to sleep. She has a notebook resting on her lap (she has all this extra paper lying around, now that she's dropped

[Well, okay, he likes Claire enough to bother responding to this, despite his reluctance to talk to people generally. Just as long as they don't end up talking about death again.]

Not sure how much use I'd be at baking, but I'd be happy to help you eat them!

three threads at once new record (rock)

[regeneratesalot]

Sorry, they're reserved for people actually coming to the party.

But if you're coming, you can have as many as you want. [ Her own version of blackmail haha ]

[tinderfoot]

Um, duh? Of course I'm coming! How would I be able to eat them if I wasn't there?

[YOUR CUPCAKES ARE HIS, CLAIRE.]

[regeneratesalot]

Oh. Good. I thought you were just going to come over and eat them while everyone else was working their butts off.

[ GOOD THING SHE'S MAKING ENOUGH TO FEED A SMALL ARMY. ]

[batgraduate]

I could use a baking day and frosting ought to fit in my budget. Chocolate or vanilla?

[regeneratesalot]

Vanilla. The mix I got already has chocolate in it. [ She doesn't want to overload people with chocolate. ]

[batgraduate]

Can do. Where am I bringing the goods and when?

[regeneratesalot]

[ She sends off a private text with her apartment number in the Tower Apartments. ]

On the twenty-second, probably around ... one, I guess. I think that's enough time to at least get a majority of them done.

When would you like them? [ She'd been meaning to come and see you anyway ]

[regeneratesalot]

I was thinking on the twenty-second, so they don't have to stay in the fridge for too long. [ Nothing ruins a party like old cupcakes. Talk about a party foul. ]

[longaevus]

I'll bring them for you then.

[regeneratesalot]

Thanks, Helen.

[unmantled]

I'm game if you need another hand.

[ voice; ]

[regeneratesalot]

Yeah, I have a feeling I'll need all the help I can get. [ Tyrell seemed like he wanted to eat a lot. ]

[ voice; ]

[unmantled]

Sweet. If you need milk I can bring it with me.

[ voice; ]

[regeneratesalot]

Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

[She's young for a client, yes, but... well. If she doesn't know better now, then she certainly won't in ten years.]

That depends. What do you need it for?

[voice] [private]

[regeneratesalot]

I'm trying to find a new place. [ And maybe some Christmas gifts. ]

[12second_orz]

I couldn't loan you enough for a new apartment- you're too young to have a job capable of paying it back at anywhere near the appropriate rate- but I could certainly allow enough for the down-payment and rent for a while. [Phrasing it as though he were actually expecting her to want to buy rather than rent; it has the benefit of making him seem helpful and understanding.] Do you have a job at all, might I ask?

[voice] [private]

[regeneratesalot]

Yeah, I'm a cheerleader for AGI sports events. Greeter, too. [ But that didn't really pay so much as keep a roof over her head for free. ]
