[and that manages to calm her down enough that she can... pull her face out of the fridge and go back to the batter wordlessly as if she wasn’t looking for anything at all]
[This also explains a lot about Kara, so he nods.]
Darkness in the gateway? So they were right about that? [The NPCS? Were useful?] Shess seems fairly well connected. He and Axel are perhaps our best bets for ensuring we hear about anything sooner or later.
At the very least, you’re personable enough that you should be able to get more information. Then you can help spread it, and hold it over Ookurikara’s head.
That would be an appropriate step, yes. [Just. Peering at the oven.] We had a home economics class at school but I never learned either. Haruhi knew how to do this sort of thing though.

[like. incredibly bad.]
What you can do is different from what he can.

So... don’t listen to him, if you’re discouraged.
no subject
I understand his point, but I want to also prove him wrong. That's the problem I'm finding here.
no subject
Then work around him, and faster. Then give him information that he wants.
[is she into kara? unfortunately - hell yea.
is she even more into the idea of proving people wrong at every turn?
hell yea]
no subject
I've started something of an alliance with Milla as well to trade information. I thought you may as well know that for future reference.
no subject
[and she'll go back to the cookbook that she brought along to see what else she needs to do with this batch of batter...]
I told Ookurikara to go to Shess for help, because - oh, he doesn't know anyone's names. That's how stubborn he gets. [juST SO KAORU KNOWS]
Shess told me that a group was sent earlier this week to deal with the darkness in the gateway.
I also gave Shess our shared list of trustworthy people, since I figure if he's that old, he probably has a better way to find information than us.

Did he agree with that list?

[she will]

...so how does this work anyway? [How does baking work, fuck if he knows.]
no subject
... I'm still figuring that part out too.
Don't laugh.
I think it has to be heated now, though.

no subject
[she
doesn't know which one it is]
Mm... Nana did this once...
[she'S GONNA TRY TO REMEMBER - she'll refer to the cookbook at least so she doesn't burn down the kitchen]
no subject
...you'll need a timer for the oven so it doesn't burn. That should be simple.
no subject
[she is doing her best here - even though she’ll walk to the oven and
not be sure which buttons to press or how to press them]
no subject
no subject
[so she'll turn the dial as directed, looking interested]
How interesting...
[the oven is not preheated]
no subject
Sixty minutes. [A point to the 60 on the timer.] It's supposed to help you keep track, so once the bread is in the oven it'll heat up and cook itself.
