[Guess who is in the kitchens BAKING ALL THE THINGS?

Yeah. Rapunzel. Everyone she knows -- which means basically everyone in the Keep -- is going to get something from her. Some kind of sugared treat specifically catered to each person, with colors and frosting and all of the above.

Once she's finished with her baking and separating, she'll be distributing.]

((ooc: basically a mingle post for Rapunzel and YOU! If you like, run into her while she's baking, roaming the halls delivering, or while she's delivering your treats to your door. If you think she'd be bringing you something, she is. If you don't think she'd be bringing something, too bad. She's bringing it anyway.]

[Kloe wasn't expecting any guests, so she almost didn't get the door. It took her a few seconds of debate to get up and answer it.

And she isn't too surprised to see Rapunzel, strangely enough. Kloe leans against the doorframe and sips from her bottle of something-alcoholic-but-she-isn't-sure-what-it-is.]

What?

[70ftandcounting]

[Oh -- oops. She was intending for this to be a surprise, but. That's okay.]

Ah! Kloe -- here. [Pushing a little basket into her hands.]

[abstinentzombie]

[Don't worry, Kloe is definitely surprised to be receiving something.]

...What is it?

[It smells delicious whatever it is.]

[Sandrath found himself wandering the halls again, passing by the same rooms and doors several times before moving down to the next floor. He could have easily remained in his room, working on his chair or socializing over the journals, but he figured he needed to move around.

The fallen arch-angel caught sight of Rapunzel down the hall and he rose an eyebrow at the girl. He recalled that she was infatuated with another from the Valentine's event and had spoken for a bit in the booths. But what was she doing now?]

Still giving your love to that certain someone?

[A smirk crept to his lips. His voice might have startled her, but he didn't care. If anything, it might just amuse him a bit.]

[70ftandcounting]

[She’s making deliveries and handing out treats and trying not to think about certain things that still plague her – Valentine’s, disappearances of people important to her (Bartimaeus – oh, how her heart was broken when she found your empty room), her death that she never speaks of. Investing herself and throwing her mind into a task is therapeutic, especially when things weigh so heavily on her small shoulders.
 
Sandrath is actually on her list, so when she sees him, she smiles brightly, though it quickly fades to a wince and a cringe, face flooding with color.]
 
Ahaha…actually…that was just for the day. I think…it was like a curse.
 
[Weak smile, and she offers a pan.]
 
Truffle?

[dominateartimus]

That wouldn't surprise me.

[It didn't really. His smirk remained there as his gaze turned to the pan full of sweets. He doesn't take one or answer the question.]

You're cooking for the whole Keep?

[wolvesxeyes]

[Sarea's hungry. She's kind of been forgetting to eat the past couple of days, oops. So she's wandering towards the kitchens, not in much of a hurry and lazily shoving her hair from her face.

Except the sweet smells that hit her once she's within two feet of the doors freeze her in her tracks, unsure if she should be salivating or wrinkling her nose. Wolf sneaks closer to the door and pops her head in, looking around warily. She makes no sounds, but the door creaking is more then enough proof that she's there...]

[70ftandcounting]

[Rapunzel is elbow deep in baking when she hears the door creak behind her, and she turns, lifting a brow as she peers.]
 
Hello? Is someone there?

[wolvesxeyes]

[Oops, busted. Wolf steps fully into the kitchen, glancing around awkwardly.]

Um, hi. Rapunzel, right? Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you. Um. What'cha doin?

[Please ignore her nose twitching, Rapunzel, it's something she can't really help.]

[needsnobottle]

[Tammy had gotten an early start this morning, checking out a couple of things, and had consequently skipped breakfast. And when you are already having trouble with the whole "getting enough to eat" thing, skipping a meal isn't a good idea. It doesn't help that there's a starving djinn pestering her as well.

So she came back in to scrounge up some food, and what did she find?]

And here I thought I was an early riser. What time did you get up to start all of this?

[70ftandcounting]

[The task at hand is something Rapunzel seems emotionally invested in. Shaping each item by hand, she dusts with powdered sugar and sprinkles, creating little works of art out of each pastry. She’s been at it for hours, needing a way to keep her hands busy and her mind clear and baking seems to be a good way to go about this.
 
The voice behind her makes her jump, though, and with a squeak she drops the sugar to the floor, creating a mushroom cloud of confectionary goodness and effectively showering them both with sweetness.]
 
Oh! Tammy! I didn’t – hear you, I’m so sorry…
 
[She scrambles to clean it up, and dust her poor friend off.]
 
Um…probably around four?

[needsnobottle]

[Oh god she's been sugar bombed. Tammy promptly sneezes, though she's savvy enough to direct the tickle into the crook of her elbow rather than bring up the whole issue of cleanliness in the kitchen. Still, she laughs a bit as the sugar starts to settle, making sure she's far from the food before dusting a hand through her short, and now grainy, hair. She keeps smiling to alleviate any of Rapunzel's worries, since this is at least half her own fault, and flicks some sugar off of Rapunzel's brow when she gets close and starts fussing over Tammy's clothes. ]

Sorry, I should have knocked. Or said hi. Especially since you were armed.

[Still smiling. She's teasing Rapunzel, don't worry about it--though man, when she spots the sugary powder now adorning parts of that thick braid, her smile slips a bit. That'll be heck to get clean.]

I'll help clean up to make up for it. You've gotta be tired, having gotten up that early and all.

[swabbie]

[When you've taken it upon yourself to inspect the majority of the Keep for area mapping needs, you're bound to crave for some sort of delectable.

Especially when you're only twelve.

So, Tetra ended up following certain enticing aromas with her nose to the kitchen to see what all the hubbub was about. Upon arrival, she glanced at the unfamiliar girl equipped with a whole basket full of goodies, not particularly in the mood for requesting yet compelled nonetheless to just snatch one or two.

So she just stands in her spot by the door frame, looking... antsy.]

Hey. You gonna eat all that or what?

[70ftandcounting]

[Rapunzel -- startles, because she wasn't really expecting any visitors while she was working, but turns and laughs, shaking her head.]

Not at all -- would you like some?

[swabbie]

[Tetra chooses a treat arbitrarily and inspects it clean before promptly taking a bite into it. And here she thought she'd have to nab some for herself. Oh well.

And as soon as she samples a bit, a smile spreads across her lips. ]

Huh, this is actually as good as it looks.

[After a moment of chewing thoughtfully, she decides to take a three more sweets of the same variety out of the basket. All for her, apparently. Taking a moment to analyze Rapunzel, Tetra begins to talk, mouth full and all.]

What's really with all this grub? Do you have a boyfriend?

[drinkuntilidie]

[The troll is on his way back to his room after some long hours of training when he bumps into Rapunzel. He can't help but notice all those sweets that she's carrying with her. It's not another holiday is it? He really can't handle another one of those right now.]

Got joorself a sweet tooth Sunshine?

[Although that seems way too much for her to eat by herself.]

[70ftandcounting]

[She just laughs when she stumbles across Kevas, and she shakes her head.]

No, no -- I made little baskets for people. One is yours, right here on top.

[She hefts her pile.]

See? Right there.

[drinkuntilidie]

[Kevas grabs the basket if only to lighten her load some.]

Be lookin' like joo been real busy wid dis.

[Just how many of these did she make for everyone?]

Gonna need any help handin' dem out?

[culinarybeast]

[Tetsu stops in the doorway, resting one hand on the side of the structure, and takes in the powdery mess that is Rapunzel in baking form. He leans against the doorway with a sigh-resigned to finding the kitchen already occupied and smelling of sugar.]

More sweets?

[70ftandcounting]

Tetsu!

[She turns to look at him and blushes a little.]

Well...yes. But -- I made a meat pie for you instead, since you don't really like sweet things.

[culinarybeast]

[That...honesty catches him by surprise]

Why?

[buildsthatwall]

[With nothing better to do Kid is wondering about the keep as usual. It's by chance that he comes across one of the few people he actually knows by name, and she's right outside his room too with a basket of sweets no less. Wonder who that's for.

Without saying a word he moves beside her.]

Do you need some help?

[70ftandcounting]

[Meep. Kid, you startled her -- but at least she doesn't shower you with powdered sugar.]

Oh! Kid, hello -- help? [She smiles, and blushes a little.]

Well...I suppose if you wanted to take yours out of the stack, that would be wonderful. Then I don't have to search for it!

[wanderersfang]

[Luka's been exploring the Keep, not sure he really understands this whole 'giant stone building' thing. But he smells food, and that at least is something he understands. So he's followed the scent and has slipped into the kitchen. He's not trying to sneak up on you Rapunzel, but moving silently is sort of second nature for him]

Whatcha making?

[70ftandcounting]

[She squeaks and turns, reacting a little better than previously. There are some seriously sneaky people in this keep.]

Oh, just some sweets for everyone. Would you like one?

[She nudges a tray in his direction, smiling.]
