[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.]

Which one? (She smirks, but the expression is more sad than anything.) I've lived on three worlds now if you count this one. The first one is only a memory. It was destroyed and all the souls that inhabited it were reborn in the new world.

[umbrastaff]

Oh shit, really? Huh, sounds kinda familiar. What destroyed it?

[soulsflight]

One god in particular, but we all played a hand in it. We were chosen to help decide its fate. There was no guarantee everyone would be reborn.

[umbrastaff]

Daaaaaamn. That's heavy.

Then you we're in another world after those two?

[soulsflight]

This is my third world, but yes, I was reborn in the new world too. Except... I have my memories of the previous one.

[umbrastaff]

That's really a big story. Definitely worth a lupcake, holy shit.

[soulsflight]

(Oh. She had nearly forgotten her reason for sharing...) You don't have to give me one if someone else wants it more. It feels good to talk about it.

[umbrastaff]

Girl, I've got two trays of these, you're good. If you let me know where you are, I can send you one ASAP.

[soulsflight]

I'm in Communal Housing on the first floor, bed ten. (She has a small break between shifts.) ...thank you.
