I apologize. That dreamscape a few nights past was a complete failure of mine.

I suppose I've more to learn about my own dreamotion. Those that [A pause.] met me should expect a pie hand-delivered tomorrow. Enjoy it, or throw it in my face if you must- goodness knows I've earned it.

The karma has been real, in the least: Most of my fruit orchard has been eaten of late, so I'll need to trade a bit more to maintain my pastry stocks.

Found the culprit, though.


On that note- This week's special is bear stew. Very fresh.

Wasn't that bad for me. Some personal stuff got out there, but nothing that wasn't gonna come out eventually.

Had to clean wolf spit off one of my guns, though. That also came out eventually.

[songbird_slayer]

Wolf spit?

I had wolves somewhere?

[strawberryredgrave]

More like a new friend of mine who also got caught in the mix. Not gonna mention names in case they don't wanna talk about it.

Karma might suggest it's my fault for naming the pistol Ivory.

[songbird_slayer]

Yes, perhaps that's best.

Ah. Remind me never to name any of my weapons, in case of irony.

Did you have a pie preference, perchance? I'm learning not a lot of people enjoy pie. Some are crazy for cake.

I'm really glad you managed to figure things out!

But tell me more about the bear stew: How did you make it?

[songbird_slayer]

Oh, I just took some naughty bear, seasoned and floured it, browned it, and added it to a pot with the vegetables and potatoes. The trick is to take all those lovely bits off the pot with a little stock and cook it down into a nice gravy, pour it over the veggies and browned meat, add a little dark beer and The Big Three Herbs, then cook it together very slow for a few hours.

The bonus is that the bear meat is already rather tender thanks to a number of applications of my warhammer.

[donfire]

that sounds so good! My mouth is watering already!

Do you have lots of it? I can eat a lot.

[reluctantradiance]

So wait, that dreamscape was yours? I had no idea they could be that strong...

[ That's a fairly worrying thing to discover.

Of course, that bit about it being her own failure strikes a bit of a nerve with Yuma, and he isn't about to let that sit. ]

But

If you didn't mean to do it, then it's not completely your fault, right?

[songbird_slayer]

They can be quite dangerous indeed.

I can own up to my own mistakes, honestly. I thought I'd have a handle on what I wanted to accomplish, but it absolutely did not work. Splitting into two halves of yourself makes for some differing opinions, it seems.

[reluctantradiance]

I see. I guess that makes sense.

[ He'll have to keep that in mind. The last thing Yuma wants to do is endanger anyone. ]

You were trying to split yourself in half? Why?

[songbird_slayer]

I wasn't trying to do that, actually. It turns out that I hadn't read that particular little quirk involving the twin gods Nald and Thal, that they could inhabit one body and split then into two. None of the tales I'd read so much as mentioned it!

It shows that I truly should not have tried to invoke one of the Twelve, at any rate.

[herewardbound]

if it's any consolation at all

I think I needed it



also i have never had bear but i also forgot to eat the past two days and i would, currently, eat literally anything if you put it in front of me

what would i have to do to acquire it because i can't cook and i need something that doesn't come from fucking dreambucks

[songbird_slayer]

If treated well, bear is actually quite lovely. It helps that the bear had a wonderful diet of half my orchard. I can pack some away for you to take home and you're welcome to a bowl in the Lady of Bliss.

It will go well with the pie that I owe you for getting wrapped up in the dream regardless.

[herewardbound]

for food i could put up with just about anything right now

even you

And, a moment later:

what kind of pie

[songbird_slayer]

Aw, I'm honored.

It's apple. Goes good with the bear.

[herewardbound]

I also just looked at the date and realized this was almost two weeks ago

I was more out of it than I thought, apparently

[songbird_slayer]

Honestly I would have waited a while more but I didn't want to be a complete chocobo about it.

See that it doesn't happen again.

[songbird_slayer]

[Don't write 'Yes, Dad'. Don't write 'Yes, Dad'. The man's therapy animal is his pistol. Well, that and Hythlodaeus.]

No more dream disasters from me.

Only shenanigans, cross my heart.

[recreator]

Fair enough, I suppose. Besides, I can hardly blame you for everything that occurred.

[songbird_slayer]

Despite the whoopsie, I found myself learning a few things about myself. I take it maybe you've bumped into a few brand new corners.

I wonder: Did your sides argue with one another at any point? Talk about navel gazing.

Sender: Hythlodaeus

[nomoresharks]

We all make mistakes when trying something new. For my part, you can rest assured there are no hard feelings to be had.

That said, while I'll not turn down a pie, I also wouldn't mind trying something new, either. Whether it be from your home like before or just a personal favorite of yours, I'll let you decide.

[songbird_slayer]

[F-food from her homeland!? A moment. She's overjoyed. She adores you, Hythlodaeus.]

❤ Oh! Boortsog, then!

I forget what word is close to them They're like donuts with a slight crisp. I'll make some apple butter with them.

[nomoresharks]

Oh my, now you've gotten me excited. Hard to go wrong with a good dessert, after all.

[Not to mention the extra apple butter she's tossing in. He's certainly going to have a good breakfast for awhile.]

Let's just pretend it never happened, and never mention it again.

[ooc: No obligation to reply because I totally know I'm late, I just wanted to acknowledge your wrap up post!]
