Week 1

[After the initial introduction of the Overseers on Sunday, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Jamie and Bolton came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.

On Monday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot. There's also a pop-up message waiting for them: a notice announcing "office hours" for Bolton in the library and Jamie in the art room every day from here on out.

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

A lot of premade doughs let you get away with not using anything to grease the pans - I suppose they put enough oils and butter in them to work. Even if it's been freeze-dried, they still had to put that stuff in the dough to make it work.

[This is going to go up in smoke, easily.]

[voltrounds]

[Probably literally.]

That doesn't make them sound very good when you put it that way.

[cyan_maid]

It's why it's always better - and more fun - if you make the dough yourself. Unfortunately, we don't have any other options at the moment.

[voltrounds]

Maybe we'll figure out something else later. But for now...

Oh, do you need a hand with those?

[cyan_maid]

I wouldn't refuse a hand!

[Have at it, Ricky, there's...a reasonable amount of dough left to form.]

[voltrounds]

[All right! She gets to work making little dough circles.]

Is this a bad time to mention I don't think I've ever done this before?

[cyan_maid]

[Despite how that should not be reassuring or anything, Jane finds herself laughing kindly.]

Hoo hoo hoo! That's quite alright! You can't learn about something you don't know without trying it out!

[voltrounds]

[The laughter is infectious!]

I guess not!

[cyan_maid]

[ALRIGHT by now it looks like all the dough's ready, they make a good team - and oh, looks like the oven's preheated all good. Jane grabs a tray and heads for it.]

Are you ready to give this a try?

[voltrounds]

Yeah!

[COOKING IS EXCITING. Ricky follows, other tray in hand.]

[cyan_maid]

[Opening up that oven...slipping the tray in on the bottom, so those'll be more brown on the bottom than Ricky's, whose tray will cook a little better. D'aw, she wants this to go well for the other girl so much.]

Just pop it in!

[voltrounds]

[And so she does, very carefully. The air in the oven is hot and she doesn't want to burn herself since that would contradict the hand inspection from the trial later.]

So now... we wait?

[cyan_maid]

Mm-hm.

[Jane crouches down to take a look through the front of the oven. Not that anything would be changing just yet, but, they're going to have to look at the contents if they want this to come out edible. There's no timed suggestion on cookie dough from freeze dried ice cream.]

It's a little boring, but it's always worth it at the end.

[voltrounds]

[Ricky, meanwhile, makes a note of the time. Even if they don't know how long to bake them, they can probably be sure it'll take longer than one minute and less than three hours.]

You've had a lot of practice with this, haven't you?

[cyan_maid]

Of course! [She looks up to smile at Ricky.] Baking is in my blood, after all. It would be poor form for the Heiress to everything Betty Crocker to not know how to bake things, from scratch or otherwise.
