This world would be nothing but smoking craters if everyone did content like those two. [Which would be bad Varian. It'd be bad]I do! It allows me to broaden my horizons and learn more about cooking. There's some baking-based shows I bet you'd like. Ever seen the Great British Bake-Off?

Yeah! And I bet she'd enjoy to do it. Couldn't hurt to ask her next time we see her.

[droptheious]

Oh, I don't think it would be THAT excessive. [Yes it would. They both know it would. ] ...Huh. Okay, that's a fair point. I never thought about it from that angle before. And now, I haven't? I'm... guessing it's about baking?

Sure! That's a good plan. She might even have some ideas to bring to the table that probably wouldn't occur to us. Extrovert ideas.

[whiteshroud]

Yes it would be. [They truly both know it]

Yeah, a competition baking show. They bring a bunch of people into a tent and ask them to bake various challenges. And every week, whoever has the least successful results get sent home. It's very addictive, we should watch it together sometime.

[droptheious]

No kidding? I do like the idea of a baking competition. That sounds like it can be fun. Sounds like it could result in a lot of disasters, there's so many ways things can go wrong in baking.

Okay, next date night, we can do that. I'll bring some snacks, and we can cuddle on the couch and watch it.

[whiteshroud]

Oh, it definitely has plenty of disasters! Especially since they aren't baking in ideal conditions. Like when they do ice cream cakes on a hot day.

That sounds perfect! I'll supply the drinks.

[droptheious]

[There's a longass pause as Varian tries to come to terms with the absolute insanity Jun has just typed at him. ]

Why- why would they make ice cream cakes on a hot day? IN A TENT???? That's CRAZY!

Then it's a date.

[whiteshroud]

The challenge! It'd be too easy if they were working under ideal conditions.

Also they never get enough time to bake.

[droptheious]

But- but no??? Like there's a difference between less than ideal conditions and impossible ones!

WHY? You need time to bake- if you rush it, nothing will bake right. It's a SCIENCE.

[whiteshroud]

[ Heh ]

Oh yeah, this is going to be fun.

[droptheious]

[This is what you wrought, Jun. Look at what you did. ]

OH, see, when you SAY that, I know it means it's gonna make me mad. How mad on a scale of 1 to screaming? I need to prepare.

[whiteshroud]

Oh, it'll depend on the episode. Some are quite good! While others...

Well, I don't want to spoil it.

[droptheious]

...

Yeah, please just make sure I've got a cushion nearby to scream into, okay?

[whiteshroud]

Of course! I'll even let you use one of my squishmallows, for gripping and screaming.

[droptheious]

You are so good to me.
