genessia | 09 | BAKE SALE

VIDEO

[A happy smile flickers on the screen as Airy starts the video feed. Her long curly hair is shining gold in the sun and it looks like she's outside somewhere. She's wearing a cute pink outfit that screams summer time shenanigans. Whatever she's doing it looks like she’s having fun and trying very hard not to laugh.]

Hi everyone! I’m having a bake sale! I'll be outside of the Genessia Library. I’ve been baking all night and I promise it’s going to be delicious.

Why am I have a bake sale? Easy! This will fund Strider Productions! [She moves the camera to show off a pin at her hip. Yes, she has more and will be handing them out.] I'm going to be helping with his next production about sea bunnies! So come and support us okay?

ACTION

[For anyone who missed Airy’s overly peppy announcement they’ll find signs all over Genessia which advertise her bake sale and have a convenient arrow pointing in its direction.

Standing in front of the Genessia Library is a fairly simple bake sale set up. Airy has all the standards: rice crispy treats, cookies, cookies designed like burgers, mini apple pies, cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes and more cupcakes. She’d been baking all night and into the early morning. As the day dwindles she’ll begin to look more and more tired and be ingesting more and more coffee.

No matter the time of day she'll greet those walking up with a smile.]

Bake sale! Step right up for sugary sweet bliss~

CLOSED | NOTE 2 Nathan

[Nathan will find the following note placed on a small plate of cupcakes when he wakes up that morning.]

Nathan,

Sorry I left early and that the kitchen smells like cupcakes. I made a lot of cupcakes. The good news is that I left the mocha ones at home for you. <3

Please don’t eat them all at once. I want one too.

I’m having a bake sale in front of the Library so we’ll walk home together when your shift ends!

<3’s

Airy

[Sakura just happens to be out and about the city, seeing what it all has to offer and adjust to her new environment. She had been keeping her path simple so she can find her way back.

But she was soon following the smell of something sweet, and before long, a nice little discovery. A delightful little bake sale! Sakura hurried on over to browse the selection.]

"Wow, they're all so cute! Did you bake these yourself?"

What the fuck.

What the fuck? What the fuck are you doing? What is that? Oh my god. You named my shit.

Oh my god.

That is the stupidest fucking button.

Oh my fucking god. [ snort ]

[ childish giggling ]

[ LAUGHING ]

[ LAUGHING TO TEARS ]

AIRY, THAT BUTTON IS RIDICULOUS.

[ CRY-LAUGHING ]

A fucking bake sale!

[ COVERING FACE AND IS JUST. SHAKING WITH A GIGGLING FIT. ]

Oh my god. This is so stupid.

[ Airy's video definitely made Jefferson shake his head in amusement. As always her enthusiasm was both refreshing and contagious, and that she was doing it all just for Dave made him feel just a little bit proud. Was that weird? Probably. Oh well.

Naturally he was more than just a bit inclined to pay a visit. She'd worked hard, so how could he not go? Besides wanting to support her efforts and see what she'd come up with in person, he kind of wanted to get a better look at that silly Strider Productions pin.

There was also the fact that if the rest of her baking was half as good as her pies he probably wouldn't have been able to resist regardless of anything else. ]

Airy!

[ Once he was close enough he held up an arm to wave to her. ]

Someone's been busy.

Are sea bunnies really a thing?

[Food and sea bunnies. That sounds amazing.]

....Dave seriously has a pin now? Really?

[ugh okay. inflate his ego some more now.] Is this for a movie he wants to make?

[of course ludger is there, looking at all of her different treats. he nods at them all, definitely approving. in her year away she really has changed a lot.

once he sees airy he just smiles at her, waving a little as well.]

Hey. These all look really great, good job!

[Airy smiles at the young girl.]

Yup and I made them all last night so they're fresh.

[She is very proud of how much she got done if not a little sleepy.]

[Airy is watching this and with each new reaction her expression changes. By the end of it she's smiling, her cheeks flushing a light pink hue.]

Does that mean you like it?

I don't see why they can't be... I mean, I think they are but what I have in mind is probably not what they are.

I'd google it if I could.

Isn't it cute?

[Airy worked really hard on this pin.]

Sort of, it's a movie we're making together.

You sound surprised.

[She smiles brightly at him before bringing her coffee to her lips. She so tired but the adrenaline of the bake sale is keeping her awake and perky. She's still young, she can go a single night without sleeping.]

Anything that catches your eye? Baking is something I can do pretty well.

[Plus she's had practice; a lot of practice.]

[Airy's head turns at the sound of her name being called. She places down the cup of coffee she'd been sipping on and moves so she's standing behind the table directly in front of Jefferson. Don't ask her how many of those she's had today.]

Jeff! You made it. [She pauses wondering when she started calling him Jeff but quickly continues.]

Always.

[She has to give herself something to do or she'd go crazy.]

Anything catch your eye?

[Sakura spent a little extra time trying to decide which one she wanted to buy. Once she found one, she looked back to Airy.]

"How much for a watermelon cupcake?"

[She's about to say it's 50 cents when she realizes they have red bills. It's weird that a currency doesn't have change.]

1 red bill..[Since that's the smallest iteration they have.]

If you buy two I'll give you the third for free.

[Airy smiles at the girl trying to make her deal sound enticing.]

[Sakura should know better than to spend recklessly, but these cupcakes look too good to pass up. She takes out and hands Airy two red bills with a smile.]

"I'll take two then."

[Sakura is totally looking forward to this.]
