I realize this is sort of coming out of left field. It's so far left that it's left the field and into the parking lot adjacent to said field.

But.


Is there anyone here who could help me build a catapult?


It's for a friend.

It was, but it was all part of the work, so you cope.

[deadly_ned]

I don't think I'd be very good at it. I didn't so much as try to run for treasurer of my school year.

[mightthinkthat]

[Would it have stopped others.] It takes a certain kind of person.

[deadly_ned]

I'm not that certain kind of person. Not by a long shot. Not by a football field's worth of shots.

[mightthinkthat]

You're not required to be.

[deadly_ned]

Which is a very good thing, in the end.

I can't imagine you being very happy working in a bakery, either.

[mightthinkthat]

No.

[Francis doesn't actually know. He's relatively certain he wouldn't be too bad, given that there's definitely a certain amount of skill and challenge involved, and ambition-wise, he could try expanding, but why make Ned feel bad about it?]

[deadly_ned]

...If you'd ever like to try, my kitchen's always open.

[mightthinkthat]

I appreciate the offer, thank you.

[He may take him on it, depending entirely on how bored he gets.]

[deadly_ned]

I would probably suggest not arriving in a suit, though.

[mightthinkthat]

I work breakfasts, I'm quite familiar with the dress code.

[deadly_ned]

DO you make crepes? I've always wanted to try crepes. They're like pies except not.

[mightthinkthat]

I can. [Do things have to be like pies?]

[deadly_ned]

[Yes. Always]

Are they difficult?

[mightthinkthat]

Not... especially. Plenty of oil in the pan ought to suffice.

[deadly_ned]

I'll have to give it a try sometime.

[mightthinkthat]

I suppose you will! [It's a little odd that someone who makes a living out of cooking wouldn't know crêpes but it does involve eggs… which were never really alive? No, it's just odd.]

[The trouble with the Piemaker is that he's a very select sort of chef]


Thanks. Thank you.

I'll.


Let you go now.


But thank you.

[mightthinkthat]

You're welcome.
