[ Action 1 | Closed to Jane Crocker ]

[ So Dirk has to bake something for the other inmates. He would just blow it off, but he needs to get some practice in anyway. Cooking is something he intends to get better at.

So he's asked for Jane's help, and on the morning of Day 187 he stands in the kitchen of their apartment, surrounded by the materials necessary for making cookies, wearing a frilly pink apron. ]

Hey, just a heads-up: My broke-ass headset's not translating anything today as part of some bullshit punishment for defending myself against a bunch of giant wasps. So if you don't speak English, Japanese, Urdu, Pashto, Farsi, Tagalog, or Lojban, don't bother trying to get in touch with me until tomorrow.

[ There's not very much to do when you live in the future. ]

Second, I made a bunch of cookies. Another punishment thing. I've planted them in random locations around the dome. Good luck.

[ They can be found basically anywhere: In the pockets of clothes in The Row, in drawers in empty apartments, on the learning modules in the Education Center. If you can think of a completely ridiculous location, there is a cookie there.

They taste awful. There's a reason he made them available for general consumption instead of just giving them to his housemates. ]

[ Action 2 | Closed to housemates ]

[ After going around finding stupid hiding places for the cookies, Dirk returns to their apartment.

He sighs. He's... exhausted. He hasn't slept for days, and after the wasps and the. Everything. He could just really use some sleep. But he has to keep going for three more days.

Fuck, why did he suggest this? ]

	Are you ready? [Jane as a red frilly apron, they match! (: ] This is really simple I promise. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I sure hope so. I doubt you're allowed to actually do anything physically to the ingredients, so just... walk me through this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	First of all, do you have the oven set to 350 degrees so it will be heated by the time we get done mixing the batter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh. No, not yet. [ He moves over to do that, completely forgetting about the bokuto he stole from the athletic center and stuck in there for safekeeping. Normally he wouldn't be so careless, but he's gone like four days without sleep. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ GUESS WHO WAS WAITING FOR HIM. Or, possibly, she was already perched on the arm of the couch, having made her afternoon trip to one of the alcohol-serving places in the bubble, and he happened to wander in while she was catching up on network gossip. ] ...You look like shit, Strider.

	[While Jake is definitely worried about Dirk, he's also feeling kind of smug. When he hears Dirk's return, he immediately goes to see him.] Looking a bit under the weather there, Strider. Sure you don't need a nap to take care of it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ Oh, great. He stifles a yawn and glares at Jake under his shades. ] I'm just fine, concern troll. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh huh. [His smile quickly transforms into a smirk.] But it sure is good to see you again. How was your confinement? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
