It's on fire, Giselle, WHY IS YOUR GIFT ON FIRE?

Level 1 room 5

[Action!]

[By this point of course, the oven is already on the floor and having the last of its flames beaten off it by Morgan. She can't throw water on it; all she keeps in the room is rum. She looks up, genuinely alarmed to see someone bursting in so soon]

[Action!]

[Morgan looks from Giselle, to the mess on the floor, to the small charred black spot on her desk here it had been sitting before, and she sighs, holding a hand to her head in embarrassment.]

I'm used to using a real oven.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

And it probably would have been. [She tries to smile but it fails where it stands.] I'm just not very good at these things. This is why ships have cooks where I come from.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

I'll just put in the request later. [She kneels to clean up what's left of the oven] Thank you for coming, Giselle.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

I think the crisis here is over. [She stands, dusting off her hands.] Let me help you with those though.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

It...was just a small fire. I'm not very good at baking anyway. Rube's shown me how to do a few things on the stove, but no desserts or anything.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

[She blinks in surprise.] Uhm, sure. If you want to. I've got time. [She picks up the leftover buckets.]

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

[She shrugs. It's not like she has any idea where the woman's birds got water.] I figure we could just dump them out in the kitchen.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

Oh. [She blinked] Don't spend much time paying attention to calendars, really. 1692, I think, was when I came here.

[Action!]

[gimmethemap]

Yeah, that's pretty far ahead of me. [She wants to scratch an itch on the back of her neck, but her hands are full.]

...what?

[gimmethemap]

Everything is under control.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

What caught on fire?

[gimmethemap]

One of my Christmas gifts.

Simple accident. Shouldn't happen again.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I gathered that much.

Right.

[gimmethemap]

Thanks for checking on me, Major.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[herecomesmama.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear, is everything all right??

[gimmethemap]

Everything is under control.

[herecomesmama.livejournal.com]

All right. If you need anything, let me know, won't you?
