Open Post: Curiosity

[sporesprouter]

Tress is, as she often is, in her workshop. However, what she is doing in her workshop is not even close to her usual activities.

Instead of her usual array of spores and sprouter's gear, she has found some more standard tools which are sitting on the table next to a rubber mat that is holding... a toaster. She secreted one from a kitchen that isn't particularly used. To the side are a couple books from the library as well as her open notebook.

She turns the toaster upside down and starts undoing some screws on the bottom of the case.

After all, the best way to figure something out is often to gain practical knowledge.

Mysterious baklava recipients unite. "I like baking, though. So I get to enjoy myself and not have to eat everything I make."

God. It's just so fucking bizarre. "Fine," Janet relents. "It's a cultural exchange, then."

[sporesprouter]

"Deal. Aside from bagels, what kinds of things do you like, so I can have a better chance of baking something to your taste?"

Janet barely even knows how to answer that. She can't tell this Pollyanna girl that she likes brown liquor and red wine. That's not baking.

"Dark chocolate," she says, a little awkwardly. "Thanks."

[sporesprouter]

"You're welcome. And thank you for the bagel."

[sorrowandsorrow]

"Don't mention it." Seriously. Tress is welcome to not mention it again. "Enjoy your toaster, okay?"

[sporesprouter]

"I will, thank you." She finishes off her bagel and goes to clean up the taste test results.
