01 CON ● ACTION ● SIX OF DIAMONDS

( Ever since Adalinda arrived here, she's mostly staying out of sight and keeping to herself -- keeping away from people. If anyone attempted to talk to her up to this point or noticed her hovering close to them while they spoke to someone, she'll feign needing to be somewhere else and get the hell out of there before she can be confronted.

Until she gets her bearings and knows she won't lose her cool at the sight of anything/anyone/whatever, she needs to be by herself and think over the events that lead up to this. Because seriously! Wings on her back? This fancy journal machine... thing that seems to be able to contact others after she carefully inspected it? This sure as hell isn't Germany.

She finally comes to the conclusion that this isn't some sort of elaborate scheme hatched out by the Woman or this is some sort of dying dream she's having. Good for her? Bad for her? Who knows. All she's certain of is that there's a lot of places to explore but sticks to the buildings and houses and you know. Signs of life in this place. Seeing how she's possibly the only member in the Doe gang to be here, she can't afford risking the possibility of getting in trouble until her friends arrived to get her. One way or another. )

I suppose I have to make the most out of this until James or Josie get me out of this mess. Hell, I'll take up Jacob's help if it means getting nagged by him. First things first...

( She gives a distasteful look at her new outfit. One thing she cannot abide is being stuck with the clothes she finds herself wearing and careful inspection of the place she woke up this morning reveals no signs of her original outfit.

So rain or not she'll be heading to the Clothing Shop to find something nicer to wear and then check out the Welcome Center after hearing about it here and there. For now she'll duck into buildings or go closer to houses in a subtle attempt to inspect them, scout them out. She's no Point Person but she reckons she can pick up a thing or two from what she may 'accidentally' see or 'overhear'.

That and the rain was annoying to deal with how it made her hair get so matted and tangled and she wanted as much shelter from the weather as possible until she got to her destinations. She has a feeling this place doesn't have her brand of hair products. Great. )

Y'okay, but I dunno if we have any of that fancy sounding stuff. I know we totally hafta have some of that- Bingo! Found the chili powder!

[After a little more rummaging around a jar of chili powdered is slammed triumphantly onto the kitchen counter. With the chili found, Pascal moves on to getting the milk out of the refrigerator.]

If you're looking for chocolate then we've got whole bars of the sweet stuff right over there. [Spinning around to point at a cupboard on the other side of the kitchen now-] Maybe Richard left the hot chocolate mix with the other chocolatey things when he last made some.

[She's assuming it was Richard anyway. Eh. Putting all the chocolate related things together seems to make sense to her.]

( Ehh. Beggars can't be chooses if she ends up with bars instead of instant mix. She goes to the cupboard that Pascal is directing her to and checks it. Bingo! There is hot chocolate mix. No need to do chopping or measuring then. )

Excellent. We only need the milk now and we can finally get these elusive drinks of ours. ( Who knew this would be a relatively entertaining hunt for the ingredients. ) Hmm. Now that I think about it with how I can't seem to find this once item...

If there's no cinnamon, I suppose we can improvise with another spice. When I can think of a spice that's similar to cinnamon. Or just drink it without adding any spice besides chili. What do you think?

[Hmm, what does she think? Give Pascal a moment to mull this over while she has her head stuck in the fridge as she locates the milk.]

Beats me! We could try adding all sortsa things to it, there's a whole spice rack full of tasty stuff that could be mixed up with some yummy chocolate.

[Having found the milk by this point, Pascal marches over and slams it down next to the chili powder.]

Maybe we could end up findin' a whole new taste combination that no one ever even knew about until now.

( That's one way to show one found an important ingredient. Startled by the sudden slam, it takes a second for Addie to recollect herself and a few more seconds to convince herself she saw that coming.

Putting some thought into the suggestion Pascal made, she finally shrugs and starts to pour in the chocolate mix and the chili powder. Trying to think of spices that could complement the sweetness and spiciness. )

I agree. I cannot think of any reasons why we shouldn't try to mix new spices together with these. ( She taps the mug she filled with the powders for emphasis. ) It's not like we'll be hurting anyone with this, now will we? Like you said, there is a possibility that we can discover a new taste to the drinks. All on our own! Would that not be a fun and delicious discovery?

Nah, don't think so. It'd be a waste of hot chocolate if we go hurting people with it!

[And since they're aiming to drink the hot chocolate, not throw it, yeah, that would be a big waste. You can't waste hot chocolate when there's a delicious discovery just moments away!]

So whaddya think would go with this, huh? I know loads of different spices and stuff but I dunno what really goes with what, y'know.

( Putting on her thinking cap, figuratively speaking, she tries to think up of something that could work for their drink.

... Aaaand she can't think of any. Darn it. This is what she gets for not paying attention to the ramblings of Anna or Jacques better. To be fair to her: It's not like she was a willing participant when roped into those discussions but how she wished she listened. )

Hmmm. ( She should just throw out some name of spices and see if they're here. If they are, step one of this is done. ) I think we could try this with... Ah! Perhaps either nutmeg or baharat. Those are spicy yet sweet. That means they could be compatible if one wants to add spice to their chocolate.

[Nutmeg sounds vaguely familiar, but what the heck is baharat? Ah well. With a light shrug, Pascal goes back to cupboard diving and starts poking around for some nutmeg.]

Ooh, something spicy on top of super spicy chili, but with plenty of super sweetness too. This is gonna be interesting!

[Nutmeg get! She opts not to slam the tiny glass jar the nutmeg is in on the counter this time and instead decides to throw the jar over towards Addie instead.]

Nutmeg, comin' your way!

( She sees it coming her way for sure! Here comes the flashbacks to those ill-advised games of catch with Josie. Is she any better in this compared to before? She reaches out to grab the glass jar, takes a few steps back when she estimates.

Caaaatches-- No don't slip out of her fingers!!

She hops a bit, secures it in her grip. Score! Nearly stumbles on her own two feet when she gets back down and attempts to steady herself. She gives Pascal a look of bemusement. Which turns into amusement and she ends up laughing happily as she adds the nutmeg to the mugs. That was pretty unexpected but rather fun! )

Nice throw there! Perhaps I'll toss you your drink all of the sudden when these are made? ( To think this all started because Pascal was willing enough to stick her head out and talk to a passing stranger. )

[Woohoo! Pascal lets out a cheer, followed by a quick round of applause for that catch. Nice one!]

And those were some pretty nice moves there too! Iiii think I'll skip on the drink throwing though, remember what I said about it being a total waste?

[And you wouldn't want to waste a drop of this stuff after the scavenger hunt they went through to make it!]

( A flourished bow to go with her flushed cheeks at the cheer. It is always nice to have a receptive audience to your actions. )

If you say so. Perhaps we should a real game of catch next time, with a ball and all? ( That'll be a way to pass the time. ) And the drinks are almost done! May I have a minute or two to make sure they're just right before we delve into the deliciousness?

( She, you know, wants to make sure this won't have them immediately puking or running to the bathroom. You never know about spices found in a world where people have wings on their back. )

Sure thing, take all the time you need! I bet if you take even longer on 'em they'll come out tasting even better and way more super choco-spicy.

[So long as they're drinking down these bad boys in the near future Pascal is fine with waiting. She can't wait to try what they've made! It's going to taste delicious and there's absolutely no way she'll be throwing up all over the floor or anything. No way at all.]

But y'know. for the catch thing? We could totally set somethin' up and play a game of catch in the battle dome just to make it more intense.

[Maybe she can program in a super bouncy ball that flies all over the place? Ooh, no, anti-gravity catch!]

( Huh. That sounds a lot like Albert would have told her if he was making something and she was being impatient. Longer it took, tastier it would be. Homesickness? What's that? Nothing she's experiencing now. Nope.

Seeing that the drinks are almost done, she thinks drinks are supposed to be this color if you mix these types of spices together, Addie thinks over the idea of catch in what's that again? The battle dome? She does want to see what is in there. )

We absolutely should, Pascal! It'll certainly be more fun to do that then to just run about outside and hope we do not run into anything. What do you think should be added as a challenge to make it more fun? ( Seeing that she probably knows more about that place than hers. Aaaand just in time for the drinks to be done. ) I think these are ready. A toast, perhaps, to our tentative friendship if you'll allow me to be so bold?

We could totally run around the plaza and play catch, avoiding everyone and making sure you don't kersplash in the fountain would be a great challenge! [Okay, but now for a suggestion more battle dome related.] If we're doing this battle dome style then we've gotta try zero gravity catch.

[With the drinks finished, Pascal wastes no time in taking a mug and raising it up high. She's more than okay with this toast idea.]

Y'okay, to our awesome new friendship! Cheers!

The zero gravity one sounds very exciting. And less likely to catch a ruckus with others here. Last thing I'd like to do is bother them when they are doing their own business. { Plus. It was less likely that what clothes she wore on that day to get dirty if they couldn't fall or bump into things.

Maybe. She'll rather do that and get wet. The current state of her hair is something she is all too aware of. More so when she raises her mug higher for the toast, noting how funny it looks when she moves. }

Cheers to us and to those we know as companions and friends! May we always have a happy camaraderie.

{ And then Addie takes a sip of this mystery drink they both had a hand in making.

Just kidding. In reality she more or less makes a show of taking a sip. Placing the mug to her lips but watching over the rim of mug instead, watching for a reaction of Pascal on the drink. Then she'll react accordingly. }
