[Thursdays are always a nerve-wracking day, aren't they? For myriad bullshit reasons. And while Jane has been plugging away at Lil' Sebastian all week, she needs...a break. A day to breathe and collect her thoughts, to do something she actually knows how to do in order to sort out everything else.

Jane is going to bake today.

She's up early in the garden, carefully picking various fruits and depositing them into a Cancer Nebula tote bag. The larger, heavier fruits like apples go first, then the berries and smaller things so nothing gets crushed or bruised. You might catch her checking the quality of the produce or peering at the galaxy pigeons, looking at each with thoughtful care. She ought to name one Arnault, right? But which one...

From the late morning into the afternoon, Jane has commandeered the Bar 'n Grill to make her creations: pies! They're mostly little personal pies that are made in muffin tins, but each one is filled with a different fruit! There's apple, blueberry, strawberry, cherry...a lot of cherry, actually, perhaps as a subtle "fuck you" to the diner's cherry pies. Hers are better, obviously. While she works, the change in her demeanor is palatable; while Jane is still tired and still nervous, she seems more at peace in her element.

The pies will be left out in the Bar 'n Grill if you want any, with a sign indicating Jane made them and what's in each, but if you want her at any time in the afternoon and evening, she's back in room 11 working on Lil' Sebastian.]
