"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[ BEEP. ]

All right! [ He gives her a peck on the forehead. Precious overly worried lady of his life. ] Don't worry. Short of the oven exploding, there's hardly anything to be cautious about for now!

action;

[bloodandblunder]

There's the problem with the electricity not working, so exploding may not be an issue.

[ at least there's that. ]

action;

[memlost]

Point! But I think the ovens up north still work. In which case, I guess there might be plenty to be worried about after all, ha ha!

[ Well, she might be worried. He won't be worried about a thing for days and days. ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

...

Is that really something funny?

action;

[memlost]

Totally! I mean, exploding ovens?! What a silly way to go! Can you imagine surviving dozens of battles only to get taken out trying to bake a cake? Hah!

[ Yes, she should probably be worried. For non-oven-related reasons. ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... Morgan, um. Maybe you should sit down for a moment. [ SHE'S KIND OF WORRIED. ]

action;

[memlost]

Aw, but I'm in perfect health! In fact, I feel more fantastic than ever. Funny that you should mention it, though -- Morgan seemed worried for some reason too. You guys are such cards!

[ He's just having an AWESOME DAY gosh. ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

Because you don't seem entirely... [ sane ] ... all right.

action;

[memlost]

Really? Hmm. Hmmmmm. [ Wracking his brain for all of two seconds here. ] Nope, I still don't get it. I feel so many kinds of right, I'm all left!

action;

[bloodandblunder]

...

You're going to sit down now.

action;

[memlost]

Oh! Well. Okay.

[ He sits. He may be slightly unhinged, but he still knows better than to challenge that. ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

I'll be happy to bake with you soon, but I think you should focus on something quieter today.

action;

[memlost]

[ He is so mildly bamboozled right now. But if Noire wants something, then he will do his very best. ]

Something quieter, huh? I suppose I could go to the library.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

Yes! [ GOOD. ] That seems [ safe ] restful!

action;

[memlost]

Good! Then I'll grab my equipment and go right now. By the way, did you know about baseball bats? I've been thinking they could make great weapons! Maybe I'll give it a test run today.

[ WHOO GONNA KNOCK SOME HEADS AROUND ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

You'd prefer that over your usual ones?

[ MORGAN CALM DOWN. ]

action;

[memlost]

Well, you know. Weapons break, tomes run out. You can never have too many weapons! And there's something really satisfying about swinging around a big piece of metal with all your might.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

As long as you don't accidentally hit someone...

action;

[memlost]

No promises! It gets a little dark in there, heh.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

We can find a light source! But you really should be careful!

action;

[memlost]

"We"? Do you wanna come with?!

[ focusing on the important part ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

I don't think letting you go alone is the best idea right now.

action;

[memlost]

Then it's a date! You can take care of those ingredients while I get my stuff, and I'll meet you at your house! See you soon!

[ YEAAAHH OFF HE GOES ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... I should bring along the medicine, too. [ HOUSEWARDS, HO. ]

action;

[memlost]

[ PRECAUTION IS FOR DWEEBS, NOIRE. As promised, he grabs all his usual dungeontunnel-crawling equipment plus one gleaming baseball bat, which he rests happily on his shoulder as he invites himself into her house. ]

I'm here! Ready to go?
