[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.

[bluechampion]

What kind of story?

[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?

[umbrastaff]

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

[bluechampion]

[Challenge accepted.]

I might have a couple you'd like to hear then. I hope they're good enough for one of those Lupcakes.

[umbrastaff]

Oh, you know just how to speak my language! Go forth and try you luck, I'll keep one ready for you.

[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.

[umbrastaff]

Sh'yeah I don't wanna freeze my ass off. I'll file it away in a future nap idea.

[Shrug.]

If you catch any with the little silver fins on them, add cilantro and oven-bake.

[wildlinks]

Napping next to a heater or under the blanket is the best right now.

Little silver fins? Curious. Do they have a specific name?

Yes, that sounds great. I didn't have fish in a while.

[umbrastaff]

Oh man, I'm getting one of them heated blankets now! That sounds perfect.

[Lup reaches for a block of paper and writes that down next to things like pieces of a recipe and a doodle of a ferret-like thing.]

...and I honestly don't know, I wasn't paying attention to names when I bought some from the market. I just know they come from the river and taste amazing.

[wildlinks]

Get a book too. It helps dozing off faster.

I see. You're good at drawing. I'll make sure to keep my eye out for them. I wonder what other types of fishes are in the river.

[11calls]

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

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.

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.]

[bluechampion]

Well, there's this Rito minstrel that wanders around Hyrule that's always singing about tales of the ancient hero.

So ten thousand years ago, this great evil darkness rises and threatens the world. But then the Sheikah build these giant weapons to combat it called Divine Breasts, and they're piloted by the best warriors Hyrule has.

And there are also the guardians that the Sheikah built, and they're like robot soldiers, so these things are helping the ancient hero to fight Ganon. (He's the dark evil thing I mentioned.) And the hero is working with the princess who has the blood of a goddess, and once they defeat him, he's sealed away and the world is saved!

...

Kass is a lot better at telling it. He's got an accordion and sings the whole epic.

[soulsflight]

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

[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]

It would have to be a boring book, in that case.

[She might be a bit of a nerd.]

You'll probably find out if you go fishing. Just don't keep anything that talks.

[umbrastaff]

Divine Breasts? I need me some of those!

[She laughs, but Lup is intrigued by the story and listens attentively.]

That's some tale, right there. So what are the Sheikah... and rito?

[umbrastaff]

That's it! Spicy and sweet.

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

[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.

[umbrastaff]

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

[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.

[umbrastaff]

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

You're on!

[The best.]

[wildlinks]

That is easy to choose, isn't it? You just pick the book you don't like.

[History books tend to make Yu snooze.]
