MAYBE WE WON'T FORGET THIS TIME AAAAAAAAAAAAA
[I'M NOT FORGETTING THIS TIME
She's read the task board so she's heading into the kitchen, and she's honestly a little bit surprised that someone is in here not cleaning. Once she realizes 45 seems to be baking:]
Making that for someone else...?
[Her profile might not come out and say 'robot', but there's enough strange about it that Natalie can guess, at least.]

Huh. Generous, bored, or some mix of the two?
[I'M GOING ONCE THIS SONG FINISHES PLAYING]
...An academic interest in baking?
[There's a tilt of her head, slightly surprised and a bit curious.]

[There's a tilt of her head, slightly surprised and a bit curious.]
[She thinks about it for a few moments.]
An experiment, I guess?
[Which is... not much different than an academic interest, really.]

Oh, so anyone who tries it is now an unwitting test subject.
[ nice. but for all the mess in the kitchen some of which might it might not be hers and their current talk, the batter in the mixing bowl she's using looks like perfectly normal batter for chocolate cake. ]

That just means you have to make sure it's not poisonous.
[She's joking, probably.]
[She's joking, probably.]
[A small huff of a laugh.]
Sure. I'll get right on that. Very Snow White of you.

Huh, is that the specific poison that was used? I was aiming for something well known, but would sound like a regular herb to anyone who didn't.
[ though, no one puts herbs into chocolate cake anyway, so they should have known she was messing with them.
curiously, as she goes to pull out a pan from the drawer, she takes the bowl with her. ]

I meant more in terms of the poisoned food itself, but it does have kind of a fairy tale sound to its name.
[She just watches her go, tilting her head.]

[ none trust that the kitchen won't pull some sort of weeping angels nonsense and dump stuff that shouldn't belong in cake into the cake when she's not looking.
she hums, just a little, while prepping the pan and greasing it up.]
I'm not particularly familiar with the intricacies of fairy tales, so I'll just take your word for it.

All you need to know is that they're usually horrifying.
Yeah. But, haven't you heard? All of these powers are for our own good and they definitely didn't hand them out so anyone could hurt each other.
[She rolls her eyes.]
[She rolls her eyes.]
I take it you've heard from some people who do have dangerous powers? Enough to establish it as a trend, anyway.
[ and you know, not like, the one off weird 'haha wow, can you believe i have the power to (throws dart) electrocute someone to death?' power or something.
this is all being talked about as she's pouring batter into the pan, it's fine. ]

I sure haven't heard about one that was supposed to help somebody, I'll say that much.
[She sighs.]
[She sighs.]
You're getting the same incredibly shady vibes that I am, right?
[A small sigh.]
Well, I guess we'll see if anything happens soon enough.

Maybe the universe just really hates weekends.

Maybe whoever brought us here had a really bad vacation experience.
