... This is... probably all we need?

[chastitybeltisland]

It could be.

[Looking them over, desperately trying to remember how to bake...]

Eggs... we'd need eggs.

[over_the_fop]

...

Maybe... we just mix it and bake it? It seems about right.

Cookies should be sweet so a lot of sugar.

[hyanaimne]

Not too sweet, though . . .

[chastitybeltisland]

[guys I don't even know what cookies are WITH my memories]

At least the flavor's easy.

[overclocking]

I think you mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then mix them together and shape the dough. But I don't know what measurements to use...

INSTRUCTIONS

[virgitarian]

When you are ready, tell me how you wish for the princess to prepare your dish.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[overclocking]

[Deep breath, ticking things off on his fingers as he goes.]

Mix a cup of peanut butter and a half cup of lard. Do the same with a cup of flour and a half cup of sugar, then combine them with the peanut butter and mix the dough until the biggest of the lumps are out. Then scoop out small handfulls and roll them into balls, flatten them, and bake them for... [uh.]

... Until the edges are golden brown.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[virgitarian]

Your sugar has been stolen.

You may wish to change your recipe.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[overclocking]

[...... no.]

Has it?

I don't think hypothetical means what you think it means.

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[hyanaimne]

Bloody bastards . . .

Can we not just use more peanut butter?

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[over_the_fop]

... Did you actually think it meant what it is supposed to mean?

Re: INSTRUCTIONS

[virgitarian]

In the case of this team, it truly was a hypothetical.

In the case of the team that stole your sugar, it was not.

[chastitybeltisland]

[...] Right.

A QUESTION

[virgitarian]

By the way, just to pass the time while you're planning your dish, I'd like to ask you something. If you could obtain more ingredients by, say, stealing from another team, which one would you take them from?

This is purely hypothetical, of course. Obviously, you're locked in here and can't steal from anyone.

Re: A QUESTION

[over_the_fop]

Hypothetically? No one.

[This is why we can't have nice thingssssss]

--Ptou.

Re: A QUESTION

[over_the_fop]

... what? There's got to be a way that doesn't cause strife.

Re: A QUESTION

[overclocking]

It doesn't always work that way, and you know it.

Re: A QUESTION

[virgitarian]

As I said, you can't steal from another team. It's impossible. I won't steal for you, either. So in the end, it really is just a question of theory.

One that I'd like you to answer.

[Shoots Ptou a look that says yes please just stay there before turning back to the dragon.

Considers the other teams, who he knows or others on the team know...]
