003 - Chocolate [Video]

[deadly_ned]

[The Piemaker is in the Barge kitchen, finishing up the last works of the day. On the countertop are two small pies for two graduated inmates, to be picked up or delivered when most convenient.

They're addressed to Megamind and Riddick, with Congratulations written on top. While the Piemaker was never a man to celebrate change, he could appreciate and reward it in others.

There's a third confection that's bothering him. It's the cake-pie. The cake-within-a-pie. The abomination and unholy mash-up of good and evil.

The Piemaker prods it with a spoon]

I'm not sure how safe this is to eat. I know I made it but it's. It looks..untrustworthy.

Never again, Cassandra.

Are you talking about the pie or the cake-pie?

[fearthepackingchips]

The one that DOESN'T look like something you could buy in a normal pie store.

I'm pretty sure they don't actually have pie stores.

So bakeries. Whatever.

Seriously. That looks amazing, I don't even care what kind of pie or cake it is.

[deadly_ned]

They have pie stores. Pie stores exists. Only in the form of bakeries and restaurants. I. I own a pie-baking restaurant.

It's chocolate. I'm not sure if that matters.

[fearthepackingchips]

Wait wait wait. A whole restaurant. That ONLY SELLS PIES?

Do you have a chimi-flavored pie? Because that would be awesome. Or really any kind of Mexican-type pie. If it tastes like burning and cheese and meat I want it in me.

Really? You're going to go with that?

Wait that sounded bad.

Yeah. Just a little.

[deadly_ned]

Uhm.


Why would I have that.

I mean, I have. I make meat pies. Occasionally. I don't....like to touch it. And my girlfriend loves cheese and sometimes we bake them into the crust, but...

You're talking about a pie-shaped taco.

[fearthepackingchips]

Um. Because it would be AWESOME? What more reason do you need than that? C'mon. Just think about it.

[A beat, then a headtilt.]

...whattaya got against meat? You a vegetarian or something? Or did you work in Mrs Lovett's pie shop? 'Cause that could put you off meat for a while if you're weird about that kinda thing.

[deadly_ned]

I don't. That's not why I bake. And not why I would bake....that.

Yes. I mean.

I'm a vegetarian.

[fearthepackingchips]

Why do you bake, if it's not to make awesome things?

[deadly_ned]

I bake to feel better about myself and make other people feel better about themselves.

[fearthepackingchips]

I don't see how that doesn't include making awesome things.

[deadly_ned]

Your awesome is not necessarily always my awesome.



....Do you really want me to make this.

[fearthepackingchips]

Does Taskmaster's mask smell like ball sweat?

[...what. No it doesn't, Wade, no matter how much you want to say it does. And nobody would know the answer anyway.]

[deadly_ned]

How would you even know what that smells like?

[fearthepackingchips]

Which one, his mask or ball sweat?

I have my ways. ...not weird ways. Very macho manly-man ways. That absolutely don't include trying to steal Thor or Spider-Man's super-underoos.

[deadly_ned]

I'm a little suspect of these macho manly-man ways.

[fearthepackingchips]

What? No. It was a prank.

[deadly_ned]

That's your idea of a prank?
