Two Spoons {Dictated}

[cyan_maid]

[There's a frustrated little sigh, and then the clatter of baking tins. Then silence.]

I don't understand why this is so difficult. I've been trying to bake a cake all morning. I've been trying, and-

[A shuddery little breath.]

And I - can't - remember!

This is ridiculous. It's a cake, for Landsakes! I've made cakes all my life, this should not be hard! And if that weren't enough, I can't seem to...I - I can't seem to...

[This is a little embarrassing for her to admit.]

I try looking at cake recipes and once I look away...I forget the steps entirely.

...I'm going to try again.

[OOC: Jane's stumbled upon her loss, but she's still a bit too stubborn to admit it to herself. She's in the kitchen, covered in flour and somewhat distraught if you'd like some one-on-one interaction, but if not feel free to respond.]

[Definitely does not want to point out it could be a loss. Because those are never fun to discuss or anything, but still...]

Have you tried making one of the cakes that...I-I guess, they come already almost made? Usually in a box?

Dictated forever!

[cyan_maid]

[Jane gasps. Why didn't she think of that?!]

No, I didn't!

[You can hear cabinets being thrown open, and then a faint squeal of delight. Her voice is a bit far off as she says,]

Holy moly! They have EVERYTHING!

yep yep

[hyuuga]

[She can't help chuckling at that.]

Yes, there just about is... It's nice at times. If not, I-I suppose you could have just wished for it, too.

Yay~

[cyan_maid]

[There's several soft thuds as cake mix boxes are placed down.]

I'm glad I found them before I wished for any, though! This has to be the best find of the day!

I wonder how I'll choose which one to make...

[hyuuga]

I'm glad, then.. [And she really is. Both for the find and because she seems happy over it.]

Um, why don't you go with your favorite? If it's there, that is..

[cyan_maid]

Oh, I don't think I could ever pick my favorite mix. There's something wonderful about all of them! Of course, I can't just make them all at the same time, that's a bit much.

...Oh! Oh dear, I'm getting ahead of myself. Thank you so much, Ms...?

[hyuuga]

[That sounds like a problem Hinata has as well. If only there weren't so many delicious flavors...]

You could...bake one a day, maybe? And it's OK! And, um, my name is Hinata.

[cyan_maid]

That's a spectacular idea! I'll draw up a schedule for them right away.

It's nice to meet you, Hinata! My name is Jane!

[hyuuga]

That sounds like a good idea.. That way it's easier to keep track of what you've made. And, um, it's nice to meet you too, Jane-san.
