001 » Voice; UN: Persephone

[ragingnature]

[ There’s nothing but dead air for a few moments before Persephone finally speaks up, sounding a little nervous. ]

Um… I didn’t expect the red moon to be, um, so much. I sort of lost control and burned a little too much Chroma.

[ A pause. ]

So, um, what I’m asking is if there’s anyone that would like to cuddle? I’ll make it worthwhile! I can bake something or cook you a meal, just as long as it’s vegetarian.

Oh that is very fascinating. I wish I was here to see it. [ Her lining up similarities to another Princess's abilities gets cut short when she turns to answer her question. ] Yes, that.

[ Of all the things to forget to mention. ]



I've learned that my blessing is Cordis, which is why I didn't plan to leave my designated unit unless a priority arose. [ Her hair gestures while her clasped hands motion at Persephone. ] Two of the lunar influences are, uh, affecting me.

[ Technical terminology's easier, but seeing Persephone is tugging at her self-indulgence. ]

Mainly increased appetite, which you know, and ...releasing some type of intangible compound that seems to encourage moonlacing. [ She feels awkward about it, but coming out to see her friend in spite of all that is something? ] And you needed that. Like exactly.

[ How can she run out of words when she needs them the most? ]

[ragingnature]

I can show you when I'm not so tapped out.

[ As Entrapta explains the Cordis blessings Persephone can feel her face heat up a little. So that was why she felt this pull. ] Um, well, you've come to the right place for both?

[ She lets out a nervous little laugh as she finally makes a move for kitchen despite that desire to go straight to the other woman. ]

So I made some cereal treats, baklava, cinnamon rolls, and brownies. I was going to make some tarts but realized I'd need to go out for fruits and didn't feel much leaving during the red moon. [ Sure, she could have grown her own fruits but she didn't want to. ]

[enginehairing]

[ Her hair's eager to touch and brush against the flowers, vines and leaves as she follows Persephone. ]

Ooh, that does smell really good!

[ Starving, her hair holds on to Persephone's shoulders as she peeks over them. All out of habit since others are usually taller. The aroma mixed with the contact is a cure for the full moon's impact.

That and she does like being around Persephone. ]

Especially the cereal treats. I have to admit I am really partial to sweets. [ The rush to eat and moonlace is costing her because Entrapta remembers one vital detail. ] Um. Are you familiar with tiny food?

[ragingnature]

[ Persephone doesn't seem to mind the touch or being used for a bit of leverage to get a better look at things, though she isn't much taller. Once in the kitchen, she begins uncovering all the treats she made so Entrapta can get a look at them. ]

Tiny food? [ She gives her a curious look. ] Like, smaller versions of normal food?

[enginehairing]

[ Purple fingers tap her shoulders animatedly. ]

Exactly! It comes out so cute and goes great with a fizzy drink. Also, it's the only type I eat or make. [ So there's that. But she doesn't slow down at all when her hair snatches up a treat. ] Ohh, your composition is so neat and looks delicious!

[ Just small enough to qualify. She gently breaks it in two so a tendril can offer her host half. ]

I always wanted to try sharing.

[ragingnature]

[ The cinnamon buns are fairly large but some of the other treats are cut small enough that they could almost be bite-sized.

Persephone listens, nodding thoughtfully as Entrapta goes on about these tiny treats she enjoys. ] Maybe next time I bake I can give it a try. to make some tiny food, that is!

[ She takes the offered half with a smile and pops it in her mouth. While she enjoys baking she doesn't usually eat as much of what she makes, she's much happier to give it to other people. ]

[enginehairing]

[ Offering accepted (even though it is Persephone's assortment) and food preference not dismissed. Good things! The tips of her hair give the smallest claps as she gives a wide grin. ]

Wonderful. I can offer assistance if you feel stumped, but I'd looove to see what creations you come up with!

[ The plants offer a serene atmosphere unlike the Fright Zone and Beast Island, the food smells so good and the moon might play factor too. She'll have to study that when the phase ends.

Entrapta holds her hand out to her hostess. ]

You've been real nice to me since we got here. Thank you.

[ragingnature]

Do they need special molds or could I make normal-sized foods and simply cut them down to a smaller size? [ She asks as she chews on the treat.

She takes Entrapta's hand and smiles. ] Very few people deserve others being rude or mean to them, so I try to be nice to everyone when I first meet them.

[enginehairing]

Baked at a smaller size is fine. Molds are extra fun if you're feeling fancy! You can be as creative as you want. All you need is some light base metal and some heat.

[ Her hair whips out a small blowtorch, alight with blue fire that illuminates half her delighted face. ]

Then tadaaa!

[ An open flame and plants, probably not a good idea. But she really does want to give Persephone more inspiration for her cooking hobby. ]

[ragingnature]

Hmm, maybe I'll look for some molds next time I go shopping. I can't say I'm parti--

[ Her eyes go wide as the little blowtourch comes out. ] Oh wow. Where was that hiding?

And, erm, maybe that's not exactly safe in here.

[enginehairing]

[ Her eyes connect the dots from blasting hot jet flame to foliage, then to Persephone.

Safe. Yes, she's familiar with that word despite appearances. ]

Good observation.

[ Off it goes and her hair slowly tucks it in a back pocket of her overalls. ] Aheh. Scientists should always carry the essentials. [ Instead her hair grabs a couple of brownies to serve. ]

What's shopping like? I've heard of it, of course, but I've really never done it personally.

[ragingnature]

I suppose that makes sense. [ She's no scientist and doesn't have anything she can think of that she might need at any given moment. Except maybe a pencil and some paper, that's always good to have on hand. ]

It depends on the type of shopping your doing and if you're alone or with someone else. For example, if I'm going shopping for cooking or gardening supplies I'm usually on my own and just getting what I need and returning home. Maybe I'll stop and treat myself to some coffee or some other little treat but it's not a whole ordeal.

If you're going with friends, though, it can end up taking much longer because you might make stops you wouldn't otherwise. Eros took me shopping for clothes not long after I arrived in Olympus and we spent several hours running around to all the stores with me trying on a whoooooole bunch of outfits. It was kind of fun.
