[The camera turns on, and shows these babies -


- before moving to show Lup's face.

She has a bit of flour on her nose.]

I call them 'Lupcakes'. This is prime Flour Up Desserts advertising, obviously.

[She grins and settles the phone at a good angle.]

Frosting's got some spice in it, like those red candies. I'm offering some taste-testing free of charge if you tell me a good story.

...or for any tips on really good napping spots. We elves might not need to sleep like you poor chums, but chagirl's got priorities next month and like half of it is gonna be naps.

[She's so into getting a real body, okay? This vessel was great but undeath is shit for snoozing.]

That is some amazing frosting work.

I... don't have a lot of interesting stories. And the only tips I have are on cooking, but you don't seem to need those. [Yu chuckles.]

Have you tried napping by the river? It looked really peaceful there.

[umbrastaff]

You fucking know it, my dude! I'm loving the new dyes I picked up.

[She taps her finger against her chin.]

River, you say? Sounds pretty nice. Have you tried it?

[wildlinks]

I wanted to but the weather isn't exactly good for naps right now. For me at least.

[Seeing it's the middle of winter.]

I do have plans to go fishing there soon.

What kind of story?

[umbrastaff]

Any kind! It's just got to be entertaining enough!

[11calls]

Like cinnamon? And what kind of good story do you prefer?

[umbrastaff]

That's it! Spicy and sweet.

As for stories... anything juicy is great. Can be fiction, can be last week.

I don't eat sweets, but if you don't mind grass, there's a few nice - shady areas near the skating rink. Lots of trees, pretty quiet.

[umbrastaff]

Aw, you're missing out. As for grass, I like that idea too, but it's still kinda cold? I'm saving them for spring, though.

I've got some interesting stories, but most of them tend to have violent endings.

[He's a Viking, it tends to come with the territory of both their legends and lives.]

[umbrastaff]

Don't hold out on me, now! I like a good asskicking, as long as it's not kids or animals.

[soulsflight]

Sounds good. (And she isn't big into sweets.) What constitutes a good story for you? I know plenty.

[umbrastaff]

Cool fights, juicy gossip, some info about your world? I'm flexible, but I reserve the right to judge if it's good enough for a Lupcake.

[spellslots]

I'll give you twenty bucks if you put chilli in one of 'em and play cupcake roulette with these dipshits.

[He's a good person.]

[umbrastaff]

[She bumps the side of her hip against his.]

You're on!

[The best.]

[Here, have a little girl that's excited because 1) CUPCAKES! 2) She knows so many stories!! Though...she should be careful....stranger danger and all that.]

You're really an elf?

[Okay, not the best question to ask, BUT OMG!]

And those cupcakes look amazing!

[umbrastaff]

That's right! Got the pointy ears and everything.

[She gestures to on of her ears, very slightly wiggling the tip.]

...and thanks, cutie! I've been working on the recipe for a while.

Spice?

[ could it be that peggy carter is smiling? ]

Finally, someone after my own heart. Your brother keeps making me try overly summery,
fruity things.

[ she knew she should have introduced herself to taako's sister a while ago. ]

[umbrastaff]

[Oh hey! Someone Taako knows!]

Yeah! Spicy and sweet frosting and a milder vanilla cupcake to balance it out! Made from real vanilla, obviously. None of that weird fake stuff.

[She's grinning.]

It's not really the season for summer sweets, but Taako makes a mean cobbler.

video, @chronicler

[scholiast]

(Lucretia holds up a book to the camera for Lup to see: it's obviously an old journal of hers.)

Got the book from cycle thirty-two from the portal over Candlenights; I'll trade you three Lupcakes. It's the cycle we all tried different haircuts, remember?

[umbrastaff]

Oh fuck, the bad haircuts! Give!

[She makes grabbyhands at the camera.]

[dancingmd]

Hmm...

[Beverly studies the cakes with a suspicious eye. Both Lup and Taako are excellent cooks but she's been burned by Lup's spices before!]

Not sure I can trust you on this...

[umbrastaff]

[She gasps, mock-insulted.]

Bev! It's for our business!
