Thank you to Yalena for getting us sorted. [Sort of sorted. Sort of.] Now that we've arrived in New Tokyo and we're stuck inside for a little while, I think we should talk about some new changes that we're facing. I can't be the only one.

But first: a good number of us are here unwillingly, but we have to wait until we're fully prepped before we can go anywhere. Heading outside in these temperatures while unprepared could cost you your life. We all hate being trapped somewhere. I think that's pretty well-established. We also hate having to do anything or be anywhere when we didn't ask for that to happen. At least it doesn't seem like we were drugged, though it wouldn't hurt for Katelin and I to take some blood samples to confirm that. We'll have to store them until we get back.

As for the changes in your lives: have you noticed any? For instance, apparently I'm a lab tech at Giles Bell. I tried to set myself up for a new internship there that I could get easily, but I got ... elevated. Or hired beyond that? I'm not sure what the right terminology is here. Has anyone else noticed this? Or had it happen to them? I got permissions to take leaves from both of my jobs. And no, I'm really not prepared to work as a lab tech. I don't even know the first thing about setting up gels.

As a bit of a personal request ... does anyone think we can make pancakes in the small kitchen here? I have a craving for them. I've not really had cakes of the "pancake" variety before, but I want them now. And if you think we can, can you make them?

[This last bit is Loki's fault.]

I'm very, very popular now! It's so cool!

[ and immediately, he dumps his social media information ( and his 1000+ followers? ) into clarke's midst. ]

I only just got here too, then FELL ASLEEP AND WOKE UP A STAR???

I'd have to take a look at the supplies here, but pancakes shouldn't be too difficult. There aren't many ingredients needed, it's just a matter of adjusting the ratio to personal taste.

[aka yes he can make pancakes.]

Aside from suddenly being a part of the New Tokyo relief efforts, like it seems most of us have I don't believe there have been any sudden changes to my life.

[...this is only because it's only a matter of time before he opens his CoolTalk to post pictures of pancakes and finds a bunch of DMs asking about his brawl with Ardyn.]

What sort of laboratory have you found yourself working at?

[ the last part of clarke's post is arguably the least important, but it's also the part that caroline focuses in. she's getting real tired of clarke just zooming into personal stuff that nobody asked her to talk about, okay!!! ]

i made a cake in the last safehouse out of bananas and dates, i think we can figure out pancakes.

Congratulations on the promotion.

[ is he being sarcastic? is he not? who knows. it's a check in more than anything - he wants to discuss exactly none of the things she's asking people to, so they go skipped. ]

I’m a chairperson now!

[YOU KNOW, AS YOU DO]

I’m so glad all my hard, diligent work is paying off.

[That's ...

Popular? What does that mean in what context?]

Can you provide some more information?

Pancakes are easy. I can make pancakes. All you need is flour, water, and a bit of oil.

[they may not be the fluffiest pancakes...or the tastiest.]

And if anybody needs help surviving in these conditions, they can talk to me.

Did you see a coffee grinder when you were looking in the kitchens?

While those ingredients would certainly cook something, you can't forget a leavening agent and something for it to react to. Flavour would also be a plus.

Unfortunately, coffee is quite difficult to find in this world. Very few places are able to grow it, and thus it's so rarely available that so are the grinders.

Does this mean I've missed out on that drink?

Wait, you're a what? Chairperson of what?

Edited 2019-04-16 19:06 (UTC)

I’d think not. In fact, I’ll buy you the most glamorously overpriced bottle of what-have-you to celebrate.

[This is just. It’s something. It’s too funny.]

I was under the impression that most pancakes are sweet.

[Flour ... water ... oil ... sounds pretty tasteless. But she's not an expert on the matter.]

What tips do you have? I took Earth Skills back home, but we always expected to arrive somewhere with milder winters.

I don't know what a leavening agent is

but I have coffee beans

me too
kind of
i think

[What the fuck is a social influencer, he doesn't want this life.]

on cooltalk?

Ah, now, what was it? Economic and Financial Affairs Council of New Amsterdam. So say the multitude of messages that have awaited me ever since I woke up. Current news feeds also reflect as much, so it must be true.

It's hard to. Things are right and things are ECHOING at the same time?

I arrived here recently, kind of remember seeing the news about some people going to New Tokyo to help and then I took a nap, probably on the train, woke up here and... it doesn't feel right that I think that. I went to sleep, I had some funny dreams -- Billy, I remember Billy!! -- and when I woke up, my dream was kind of real.

I wasn't really anybody before, and now I have people following me for my performance(s) and asking when I'm doing another!

Bartender to big spender. I like it.

OH IT'S YOU!!!!!!!

[w h AT]

What did you DO??????

On Cooltalk and some other media platform too! It's called, um.

I can't remember, I'll have to find it. People post videos of themselves though and I'm all over it.

There are several kinds, but they're used to rise dough. Baking powder, soda, yeast-

[WAIT BACK UP THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT]

You have coffee beans? How? And how many?

Just because I’m moving up in the world doesn’t mean I should forestall any of my original generosity.

what

[Jog his memory he has had a ROUGH TIME.]

guess i get how it happened
since i woke up right fuckin next to it

[Hideki... Maeda... that is. Cain probably woke up sleeping on his shoulder, it's canon now.]

so what happened with you

[IT’S OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF COSMIC JOKE]

A bit of snooping, nothing more! I explored several executive offices of import, out in the financial district, though it took a bit of permission gathering from the various copies of governors to be recognized as a man of importance.

Apparently that left something of an impression. Or not. How am I to know for sure?

I wholeheartedly agree.
Save it for when we get back? I'm not sure a relief effort to the NT tundra is the right background for a celebration.
