« 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.]

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.
secretmiracle: (Nothing left to lose)

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.]
secretmiracle: (Color you'd love it just look and see!)

[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!

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...]
secretmiracle: (That's hidden deep deep down)

[personal profile] secretmiracle 2014-02-16 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
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.]
secretmiracle: (Our joined hands are)

[personal profile] secretmiracle 2014-02-16 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
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...
secretmiracle: (Of season-less haze)

[personal profile] secretmiracle 2014-02-16 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
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.]

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.]

[personal profile] secretmiracle 2014-02-18 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[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!]
secretmiracle: (Keep rolling strongly)

[personal profile] secretmiracle 2014-02-18 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[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?]
secretmiracle: (In the haze)

[personal profile] secretmiracle 2014-02-18 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry Duck, consider it a good thing they're doing the chocolate thing here. At least this way Duck's kitchen won't be getting any messier!]

I don't think so, I always thought it was a good idea to preheat what you're going to cook with.

[It adds that extra layer of flavour to the food. The kind of flavour you can only get from burning a metal pan.]

Now let's see, I'll get the cocoa powder, butter and fruit ready for the chocolate.

[Looks can be deceiving, she knows no more than Duck does about making chocolate. Or food in general. But she wants to help out so bad that it shouldn't matter how much or how little she knows!

Erica gathers up the ingredients she needs and starts chopping up some fruit to be thrown in later.]


We have the pots, and the ingredients, now we need some water so we can mix everything together... But maybe chocolate syrup would be better since it's chocolate we're making? Or melted chocolate ice cream...

[As Erica wonders out loud she turns to look at Duck. What do you think would be best: water, syrup or ice cream?]
