Hi, everyone.

I know we had some new arrivals today. I'm Piper. I run the Sizzle & Sear. I'm also pretty sure no one arriving for the first time today really wants to hear, "welcome" because this whole place can be pretty scary and shocking at first.

I get that.

But, what I do want to do is, after everyone's managed to settle in a little more and take in their new surroundings, is invite you to a little reception tomorrow night over at my restaurant. It's kind of a welcome thing, but also a comfort thing. We'll have the regular menu, but all the specials are going to be comfort foods, and I have a lot of different ingredients and things ready to go, so I'm willing to learn any recipes and meals you might have had back home... you know, just to help you get through the transition of being here.

Also, I like to have some people around that have been here a while, and they can help you out with questions about the dome or anything like that as well.

So... stop by if you want. See you all tomorrow.

	Are you the officially designated welcome wagon, or is this just a hobby? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Kind of a hobby. I mean, I have the space, I have the ability, I figured I might as well use it. Better than doing nothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spoken like a true people person. I admire that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess. My sister Phoebe's more the outgoing people person than me, but I try. [She laughed a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A question, please. Do you make any Russian dishes? [His outrageously thick accent probably makes it clear that he's asking because he's... well, Russian.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2015-01-25 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	[She bit her lip.] Nothing that I'm specifically aware of being Russian. Do you cook at all? I'm willing to learn them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah... I have no patience for cooking, and I wouldn't want to trouble you with learning new recipes. What do you define as comfort foods? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2015-02-02 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	[She chuckled a little.] I can look around the cookbooks in the library for ideas. [She shrugged, then.] Stuff like mac and cheese, soup... usually something that's warm and filling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's no need. I have been told that many of the foods I like have limited appeal. They would never do well on your menu. [Sadly, borscht and pickled herring aren't for everyone.] Warm and filling. Would pancakes qualify? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video trytobenormal 2015-02-20 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Absolutely. [She chuckled a little.] Though, I'll take a look and see what I can find otherwise. You'd be surprised around here. People like some different things because of all the worlds we have crammed together. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Piper, I'd like to help you again if I may. I'll try not to disappear this time. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: video; trytobenormal 2015-01-25 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, Inara. [She smiled at seeing a familiar face.] That's alright. I know it wasn't your fault. I'd love to have you back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; notquitegeisha 2015-01-27 05:25 am UTC (link)
	[She smiles back. Though to be honest, she'd have left herself if that was an actual option.] Wnnderful! You'll just need to let me know when and where you need me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; trytobenormal 2015-02-02 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Absolutely. [She looked a bit relieved, actually, because Inara had experience with this stuff.] You're feeling okay, too, though? I don't want to push you into things if you need a little time to recover. I know that, when some people come back, they've got like headaches and memory issues. [Concern!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; notquitegeisha 2015-02-12 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	[Inara smiles, finding it rather sweet that Piper's concerned for her.] I'm fine, truly. It was a bit disconcerting at first having all the memories returning but, it's not so bad now. But thank you for asking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; trytobenormal 2015-02-20 12:43 am UTC (link)
	That's good to hear. I'm glad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; notquitegeisha 2015-02-20 06:26 am UTC (link)
	[She nods, still smiling.] And how about you? How are things going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; trytobenormal 2015-02-20 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	Not too terrible, actually. Which, around here, probably means things are good. [She chuckled. She might still have her pink pearl, but she wasn't letting on to that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; notquitegeisha 2015-02-21 08:11 am UTC (link)
	[She chuckles.] I'm very happy to hear that. Hopefully things continue to do good for you... Well, for everyone actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; trytobenormal 2015-02-24 07:50 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Me, too. [She smiled.] So, I'll see you tomorrow, then? Around dinner time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: video; notquitegeisha 2015-03-01 07:32 am UTC (link)
	Of course, I'll be there right before dinner time so I can help you set up. (Reply to this) (Parent)
