[ The woman looking to the camera has probably been through worse. She looks like there's some powdered sugar on her nose, her glasses are askew, and her sweater definitely has some chocolate smudges, but hey... at least her rabbit ears are fine? At the very least, she looks determined, like the utter mess behind her isn't fazing her in the slightest. ]

There are others here who celebrate by making their gifts, aren't there? Whether it be Firialia or Starlight or - anything, really. Since we're all ushered away here... or, well - supposed to be? Is anyone truly braving that icy tundra? - either way, since many of us are here, perhaps it'd be helpful to make gifts together.

I imagine those who have just appeared here may not have much in the way of Chroma to buy anything if they have someone close to them here, and there are some of us who are doubtless better with our hands than finances. The villa I managed to rent is far too big for just two people, so I've no problem having a few over if one wishes not to craft alone.

I'm not stepping out into that snow if I can help it. [ She grimaces. ] It's simply not good weather for a desert-dweller.

Don't give me that look! It's not coming out terribly. It's edible, just... not as good as Pimelle's.

Though, really, no one's is.

[aglows]

Yours usually are burnt. And taste like salt.

[aheroipray]

That's rich coming from you, Little Miss Half-Baked.

[aglows]

It's not my fault the oven didn't get hot enough!

[aheroipray]

Of course it isn't.

Either way, it came out just fine! It's not as buttery as her's, but I can't even begin to think of what I did wrong there.

[aglows]

Did you want me to taste it?

( She sounds hesitant. )

[aheroipray]

[ No faith. ]

If you did, it'd taste fine!

[aglows]

If you say so.

[aheroipray]

Stop acting as if you've accepted some heavy burden, it's a piece of cake. Quite literally!

[aglows]

When you know half of your baking tastes of salt, you too would be apprehensive!

[aheroipray]

You haven't even tried it! You've no idea if I've gotten better!

[aglows]

( A deep, weary sigh. )

I guess.

I'll come try it... But it better not make me sick!

[aheroipray]

You have so much Starlight charity within you. Please contain yourself. [ Heavy sarcasm. ]

[aglows]

Ha ha, you're so funny, Allu.

[aheroipray]

[ Flips hair, not unlike Dunya usually does. ]

[aglows]

( She huffs, rather put out and annoyed. )

I'll come try your cooking, ok! Don't mock me!

[aheroipray]

[ Just as keikaku.

She's still in the kitchen though she's put down the communicator. Looks like she's trying her hand at another round, while the one that came out is still hot. The hot chocolate oozes out from the middle, but the actual cake is just a little too stiff, making the cake look as if the filling is melting out of it rather than the entire cake collapsing. ]
