You wanna make some cookies?

[applechemist]

I feel like I haven't made cookies in a long time...

So that sounds perfect.

[uncurtained]

They've got ingredients for basically everything, so - what's your favorite kind?

[applechemist]

Apple oatmeal.

But we don't have to make my favorite. What's yours?

[uncurtained]

Snickerdoodle. Maybe we could do a batch of each?

[applechemist]

You can never have too many cookies...!

[uncurtained]

Ah, a girl after my own heart.

[She gives Escha a small smile as she walks towards the door.]

Ready?

[applechemist]

[ Escha laughs lightly and hurries to walk beside Beck. ]

So - what sort of a world are you from? If we're all from different places, I feel like I can't even guess.

[uncurtained]

It seems pretty different from a lot of places I've heard about. No magic, no superpowers, and at least for me... Not a lot of life or death stakes.

[She glances Escha's way, though, tilting her head.]

What about you?

[applechemist]

Kind of a... Middle-ground, maybe? Magic exists, but it's a secret. It's probably fine to say that here, right?

And there aren't, um... Supervillains or anything. [ Like Dick's world has. ] But there are monsters.

[uncurtained]

If it's a secret, it's safe with me.

[She can't say it doesn't make her curious, though, so:]

What kind of magic? And... I hope the monsters aren't a big deal, though I'm glad to hear about the distinct lack of supervillains.

[applechemist]

I don't know.

[ Escha sounded very confident in that? ]

I just know a witch. She can make make plates float and make candy from thin air! [ And a lot of other things but those are the ones Escha remembers. ]

... The monsters aren't so bad as long as you know how to defend yourself a little. And they stay out of town.

[uncurtained]

Yeah? Have you ever thought about learning from her? Because making candy appear out of nowhere sounds pretty awesome.

[She nods, with a small smile, as they approach the kitchen.]

That's good. I'm glad it's more or less safe.

[applechemist]

I don't know if normal people can learn to be witches. But - even if I could, I don't think I'd have the time to learn magic.

[ Into the kitchen, where Escha easily starts searching for all the ingredients they'll need. ]

... But making sweets out of nothing would be nice.

[uncurtained]

[While she does that, Beck is going to grab a bowl, a baking sheet, a rubber spoon... Anything they'll need as far as kitchenware goes.]

Yeah? What was keeping you so busy?

[applechemist]

My work as an alchemist...! There's always a ton to do.

What about you - what do you do for work?

[uncurtained]

Wait, so... Alchemy doesn't count as magic?

[As she starts to heat up the oven, she glances Escha's way.]

Well, I teach yoga to pay the bills... But I'm actually studying to be a writer right now.

[applechemist]

Alchemy and magic are totally different!

[ They really aren't. But don't worry about it... Escha starts measuring things out and. Baking. I'm lazy, don't judge me. ]

Wow! What sort of thing do you write about? And what's yoga?

[uncurtained]

Really? How so?

[She's helping out as Escha goes along, smiling softly as they work.]

Mostly... family. That's what really interests me, I guess. And - yoga, at least the kind I teach, is a kind of exercise. It's about using different poses to make yourself stronger and more flexible... It's meant to be calming, too. I could show you sometime if you wanted.

[applechemist]

Family, huh...? I would love to read stories about family. My mom used to write stories for me when I was a kid, but I don't think she was very good at it.

[ Oh, and yoga sounds interesting! ]

Yoga sounds like something we could all use... I wonder if you could teach us, here.
