[dated to Sunday morning! because most of this stuff wouldn't be happening at night. it's an overcast morning, and chilly enough that there could be snow if those clouds get any heavier!

prince_number_7 is heading home with a small bag, having gone out to grab a few things quickly. the bag contains a few things from what looks like a hair salon.

shellsandlight is seated in the park, looking a bit underdressed considering the temperature. he doesn't seem very bothered by the cold (living at the bottom of an ocean means having to deal with it, after all), and is currently enjoying a variety of candies that are likely to make him end up sick, more from the rate at which he is consuming them than for their contents.

fadedsketch is having a bit of difficulty pushing a fair-sized "portable" generator down the street. he's heading for his naga friend's den, wanting to give him something to power the electric heaters he's going to be bringing by as well at a slightly later date. he's already brought no doubt dozens of blankets by now.

paopuspirit is stringing tinsel garlands around the old paopu tree near the beach. it's already had some lights strung around it, all the way up to the leaves. how he managed to get it up so neatly is a mystery however.

cheeryskies has just entered the library, a bag slung over her shoulder. she seems set for a day indoors, just reading!

beforeitburned has found his way to an outdoor ice rink that he's never noticed before. there are cubbies full of skates of every size near it, and he's given into a sudden, overwhelming urge to try skating.

he's not doing very well.]

[she rolls her eyes.]

Kira, I actually use the oven. Regularly! It might not always be for baking or fancy stuff but I've never set anything in my kitchen on fire.

[giggling at you yes]

Alright alright. I believe you. Let's see how you do with that recipe then, while I set out all the stuff for decorating.

Okay.

[she'll roll up her sleeves and get to work with the recipe... slowly. carefully. she doesn't want to do horribly and embarrass herself!]

[hopefully Sora won't be distracted by the pastry bags Kira is filling full of different colors of icing, and the multiple bowls of sprinkles and candy and other goodies for decorating]

[those are pretty distracting, but she won't let herself be distracted for very long.]

[not even when Sora notices Kira is snacking on the decorations?]

[......she's going to pout!]

Can I have some?

Have some what?

[she says, like there isn't a smear of icing at the corner of her mouth]

[you're not fooling her!! she just wordlessly points to her own mouth where the icing is on Kira's.]

[Kira flails and hurries to wipe her mouth of the incriminating evidence]

Oops. You weren't supposed to see that.

[she's going to pout.]

Awww... don't make that face. Of course you have have some. As long as you're done with the cookie dough.

[MORE POUTING no she's going to stick her tongue out and go back to the dough.]

Not yet.

Well, I guess you deserve a treat for doing good so far.

[a little bowl of colored marshmallows is suddenly nearby!]

[oh, she immediately brightens.]

Thanks.

Well it would be terrible for me to let you starve when we're in a kitchen, right?

It would be.

[though she's definitely in no danger of starving. at least not for a few hours yet.]

[Kira will come around to check on your dough-making and nod in approval]

As long as you keep doing well, I'll keep feeding you.

Oh, good.

[with her trying her absolute best because someone else is around, the cookies might even be halfway decent!]

I think you're ready for the oven. That's where the true test of your baking skills is!

[let's see if the cookies end up as charcoal]

I don't really know how I get stuff wrong. I mean... it's just getting the dough in there at the right temperature for a certain amount of time! But somehow I almost always seem to burn them...
