« IV »┊ＱＵＡＣＫ ✗【Accidental Video】

[Duck has been quite a busy girl for the past few days. Upon learning about what exactly Valentines day entailed, she decided that she wanted to do something for it. While there wasn't anybody here that she had a "crush" on, she certain had made a lot of friends here. She wanted to make something for them too. The only problem was.... she didn't exactly know how to bake that well. She had started to practice for the sake of working in the bakery with Aang, but she had to redo her stuff a few times.

As she was in the middle of the fifth time of try to make chocolate hearts, the communicator ended up turning on as she tried to look for the recipe she was using. She didn't seem to speak much, but she was fast at work in the kitchen working on molding the chocolate. The kitchen has flour and all sorts of things everywhere as she's cooking. She'll clean it all up later. suddenly one of the bigger hearts snapped in half.]

Ugh! Maybe I should do something else....? I didn't think chocolate would be this hard....

[Going to look back at the recipe with no idea that it was on... You suddenly see mostly just her face.]

What else would work though? I need to get better....

[OOC: Feel free to bug her as she figures out how to make her chocolate... and has no idea that her journal has been on this entire time. She'll pretty much have something for the people she's spoken to enough. If you're a cast mate or a good friend of hers, she's trying to make bigger hearts for you.]

That's alright, I always forget what ingredients I used after cooking something for the first time! [... She probably shouldn't sound so happy about saying that.] Next time just make sure you use plenty of salt, it brings out the flavour of the chocolate.

It does? I'll definitely try that then!

My name is Duck.

You will? Thank you for using my suggestion! Oh, and you have a wonderful name. Mine is Erica Fontaine.

No problem! I've.... never actually made chocolate, so I could use the help.

It's nice to meet you, Erica. O-Oh... You think so?

[She's so used to people saying it was weird.]

Yes, of course, it makes me think of fluffy ducklings. And eating bread!

[It's a good thing, really. But oh, was that the h word she just heard.]

If you like, I could come visit you and help you out in person. It's absolutely no trouble at all!

[Fluffy ducklings. Ahahahahaha! If only she knew. But at that offer, her face lights up.]

That would be wonderful! Thank you very much. Would you need me to meet you somewhere?

Hmm, I'm still new to this place, and the village is rather big... But I think I can manage finding you on my own! [She's just asking to get lost after saying something like that-]

Please tell me where you are and I shall come find you right away.

Oh! You're new here? [She didn't seem familiar anyways.] Well, if you're new here, than I really insist that I should meet you somewhere. I know it took me a while to find my way around.

You insist? Well, then... Thank you very much for taking care of me! Perhaps we could meet at the Welcome Center?

[It's one of the few places she's familiar with, that and the bakery anyway, so that seems like a good place to meet up.]

Sure! It's no problem at all!

[And now she's on her way out after putting on a coat and a scarf.]

[Erica goes off to wait outside the welcome center, only wearing her nun outfit. She should really look into picking up something warmer to wear from the clothing shop once she has the time.

As soon as she spots Duck, Erica will be shouting out as loud as she can and waving her arms around to get Duck's attention.]

Du~ck!! Erica is over here!

[As soon as she saw the girl, she hurried over to her with a bright smile.]

Hello! It's nice to see you in person.

It's nice to see you too! I'm not used to meeting people in books before seeing them in real life, it's been a fun experience.

[Not many people are probably used to that anyway, Erica...]

[The way she said that made her wonder if she knew about "The Prince and the Raven", but then she figured she was thinking too much. She meant the journal after all.]

I'm sure you're not.

[She giggled lightly, leading the way.]

I don't live too far from here.

Shall we be off then? Here, I'll lead the way!

[Never mind that she has no idea where she's going, Erica is already walking off in a march. Towards the Welcome Center. While looking over her shoulder and not realising where it is she's going.]

Ah! well... I have my stuff at my house.

[But she very well can't let her get lost, right?]

And that's where I'm going, your house! Isn't it this way--

[The next step Erica takes has her colliding with the Welcome Center's closed door, prompting her to quickly spin around to see what she walked into...]

Aaah, I forgot to open the door again...

[Once she ended up running into the door...]

Ah! Are you okay?!

Yes, I'm fine! Truth be told, this is the third time I've walked into this door now. [That's once for each day she's been here!] I'll try again, this way!

[This time Erica makes sure the door is open before she starts marching off... Apparently it still hasn't sunk in that just because she's staying at the Welcome Center for the time being that it isn't the place she needs to go.]

Third.... time.... [And then she couldn't help but laugh a little. She sounded just like Duck as for as cluzyness.] I know how that's like.

[Well... She's not sure what to really do, so she'll just follow her for now.

Now let's see, other than salt we'll need cocoa powder. And butter, maybe some strawberries too for flavour. Strawberries taste good in anything, and melon...

[Erica seems caught up in her own little dessert world as she wanders over to the kitchen in the Welcome Center. Apologies in advance to anyone planning to use the kitchen after Erica has been through it it.]

Aaah, but if we're already making chocolate we could always make pain au chocolat... Pain au chocolat with chocolate!

[She almost seems to be in her own little world as she rattles off different ingredients and desserts.]

[Duck's not exactly following her, but if she can help, that's what matters, right?]

I'm not sure what that is but... it sounds delicious.

[Exactly, she's helping! And that's the main thing... Sadly, Erica's help isn't always very helpful.]

You don't know about pain au chocolat? It's a favourite of mine, and it goes very well with hot chocolate in the morning... Now we really must make some so you can see for yourself how delicious it is.

[Now let's see, they'll probably need a baking tin if they're making bread now. And a saucepan, just in case. Frying pan, baking tray... You know what, Erica is going to pull as many different cooking utensils as she can. It never hurts to be over-prepared!]

[Well, then lucky for Duck that she is now, right?]

Oh! That would be great!

[With how many things she's grabbing, Duck is willing to help carry the stuff.]

[She is right now! Maybe?! But that can all change very quickly!]

Wonderful! I had hoped you would think so. Could you please take these two pans and preheat them on the stove?

[Erica rummages through one cupboard and pulls out two small saucepans and holds them out for Duck to take. That's one pan for making the chocolate in and one for... Well, just in case they need another. You are meant to preheat pans, right?]
