[ 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? ]

	No, I didn't think you did, but no one has been able to escape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. I've been over and over this. I understand why people are skeptical, but I won't be dissuaded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I wouldn't want to dissuade you, but I don't think you should miss out on the opportunities you could be having here while you work on escape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-15 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	The so-called opportunities here don't interest me. [ There's a reason even his best friends think Dirk is boring. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you tried them all? What about the beach? Do you like to swim, Dirk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's too bad. The water there is warm and fresh and the sand feels good under your feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I lived in the middle of the ocean back home. I got my fill of swimming. The truth of the matter is there's nothing this place could offer me that would alter my priorities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2012-10-16 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Oh? That seems like a nice place to live. [She smiles and then tilts her head thoughtfully.] Do you truly fill every moment with plans for escape? Wouldn't it help to take breaks and relax sometimes to clear your mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-16 01:48 am UTC (link)
	[ Pf. It was a shithole. ] I do take breaks. I spent a decent portion of the morning baking, after all. I'm also basically forced to sit down and sample the dome's selection of alien cinema thanks to my best bro's nigh-fetishistic obsession with movies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2012-10-17 03:36 am UTC (link)
	Did you enjoy baking? I'm afraid I'm not any good at it myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-17 03:38 am UTC (link)
	Not really. Like I said, it was a punishment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2012-10-17 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	That's true, but they can't stop you from having fun even with a punishment. [Be defiant with happiness!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Does it upset you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-21 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	It's pointless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2012-10-27 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	Shouldn't that be for me to decide? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-27 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Not when I'm the one you're trying to convince. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2012-10-28 01:27 am UTC (link)
	But I only just started. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-10-28 01:28 am UTC (link)
	And you'd be better off expending your time and effort on a more fruitful endeavor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2012-10-28 01:29 am UTC (link)
	I like this endeavor, but did you have a suggestion? [Smiling a bit.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Shrug! ] This prison is full of entertaining projects and activities for the good little boys and girls who'd rather live out their lives in idle submission. I'm sure you can think of something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2012-10-28 01:36 am UTC (link)
	I do a lot of those things, but a project isn't the same as a person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
