gingah bread accidents
Who: Prudence & Kami
What: Pru stops by Kami's to bake gingah bread cookies, but her visions keep getting in the way D:
Where: Kami's apartment
When: December 4th, after 7pm
Warnings: TBD

Fresh home from the set of Holiday Slasher XVIII, Prudence make a quick stop at her apartment to grab the cookie cutter set she'd mentioned to Kami on the forums. They were a little more predisposed towards a previous holiday, and she'd bought them more on a whim rather than thinking she'd actually get any use out of them, but she was still excited to at least maybe break them out of the box. And hey, who knew, maybe festively decorated bat cookies could be a big hit.

Making sure she grabbed her proper dosage of her current medical cocktail, she left her scarf and gloves behind at her apartment and made her way upstairs to Kami's dressed casually, which was to say the same she'd be dressed even when on set; her hair was in a braid down her back. The elevator gave her no issues, thankfully, and she arrived at the appropriate floor just a little after the appointed time she was going to meet Kami at her apartment - brisk steps brought her down the hall and she rapped softly on the door to get the other woman's attention that she had arrived. One hand clutched at the box of cookie cutters a little nervously.

Watching Pru relax somewhat and return to her section of the counter, Kami shook her head with a confused little smile that bordered on indulgent. Then she gave her head a little shake and carefully adjusted the beater against the steadily combining butter and shortening. "Could you please measure out the brown sugar?" she asked. "We'll start creaming this. When it's all together, though, I hope you can think of something to do." Kami grinned impishly. "The stupid dough has to rest in the fridge for a couple of hours."

Detecting a hint of annoyance in Kami's voice, Pru immediately went back to measuring out the brown sugar. Awesome, wonderful, why is this my life, she moaned in her head, the thoughts trickling onto her face in the form of a frown and what looked like deep concentration.

"A couple of hours? Wow, well..." She dumped some brown sugar in the bowl, and bit one lip. "How was the Halloween party? I mean, I think I missed you, did you go?" It was definitely late to be talking about such things, but it was still a decent topic of conversation. She still couldn't figure out if someone had slipped something into her drink, or if...all the things she'd thought happened had actually happened. When one woke up outside one's apartment building butt naked, one tends to wonder what the hell happened.

Strangely, the question brought a pink flush to the other woman's cheeks and Kami suddenly found the bowl in her hands fascinating, fiddling with the beater settings and shifting it within the quickly consolidating ingredients with new determination. "Yes," she finally said, "I went."

From where Pru stood, she could just make out the faint quirk growing at the corner of Kami's mouth, an almost-smile at odds with her rosy cheeks. "It was kinda strange," she continued. "Okay, I lie. It was really strange. It started out fine but... I don't know about you, Pru, but didn't things get really, really weird later at night?" Judging the creaming process done, Kami looked over at her friend and motioned for the slow add of the additional ingredients. She waited until a portion of the flour mixture had been added before speaking again.

"I had finally agreed to dance with Jack, y'know, and..." Kami shook her head and laughed. "I think I had a great time," she finished. "A lucky one, too, since I woke up safe and sound in my own bed." With two very naked, very attractive men tangled amongst the sheets with her but, really, Pru didn't need to know about her and Shae and Jack and whatever that had been.

Despite her resolution, she still felt her cheeks warm further, a crooked sheepish smile. "You?" she prompted.

She did see the expression growing on Kami's face, a brow rising in spite of her attempt to remain neutral. Yeah, things had gotten weird. She hadn't had anything to drink - her medications sort of nipped any desire of alcohol in the bud, unless she wanted hallucinations on top of a hangover - oh shit, stop scooping brown sugar into the bowl, idiot, she suddenly realized as she was about to add just a little too much. She returned the overstock to its packaging, still listening to Kami's story.

"Lucky for you, I'm still missing a shoe," she half-muttered, not wanting to look like a freak for what had happened to her. She remembered talking to a few people, but the memories were fuzzy, as though they had all happened in a dream.

"Um, yeah, I went, but like you said, things got weird. I...don't even remember what happened. Like...almost a blackout or something." She felt at a loss of what to do next, staring at the bowl and suddenly wishing she hadn't brought up this topic of conversation.

Kami frowned at that definition and finished mixing the ingredients in absolute silence. Then she retrieved a roll of plastic wrap to cover the bowl before stashing it in the refrigerator. When she emerged again, she had a carton of orange juice in her hand. “Juice?” she asked. She didn’t wait for Pru’s answer, though, and instead poured out two glasses. Her expression was distracted, a pretty little frown of confusion and thought turning down her full mouth.

As she handed the glass over and turned towards her couch, indicating for Pru to follow, though, she suddenly gave a little shrug. “The whole thing kinda was like a weird dream,” she agreed. “I don’t remember much of anything past maybe 9 or something.” She gave a faint, wry laugh. “Figures I’d end my clear memories on a dance with Jack. Everything else...”

Kami collapsed on her couch with a melodramatic whoomph and then grinned over at her friend. “I don’t know. I can only take people’s words for things,” she admitted. “But I felt pretty good. All relaxed and peaceful and warm so I guess that’s something, right?”

Prudence could name a number of drugs that had left her feeling relaxed and peaceful and warm, all meant to sedate and fight back whatever was wrong in her mind. The thoughts graced her face with a frown, which she covered up with a drink of the offered juice.

"It could be," she admitted, not wanting to make the situation more awkward than it had to be. "Good is as good is as good is." She swirled the juice in the glass for a moment as she leaned back against the counter.

"So, you and Jack? He seems like a nice guy." She decided to turn the topic of conversation away from the night of Halloween, thinking that it had been a poor choice.

At first, all Kami rewarded Pru's comment with was a vaguely approving noise low in the back of her throat. Then she seemed to think better of it and swallowed a hasty mouthful of juice before smiling and rolling her eyes skywards. "Jack is," she began in slow, mockingly careful tones, "a really fascinating guy. Incredibly charming." Something in the line of her mouth relaxed then and she shrugged with a laugh, realizing that it was useless to explain Jack without going into an insane amount of backstory... Which was finally fading from center-stage in light of his behavior, their words, and everything else.

Kami toyed with her glass, glancing at Pru out the corner of her eye. Mischief grew in her mind as she pushed past the moment of uncertainty and she turned suddenly to smile her sweetest at the other girl. "Why? Do you think he's cute?" she asked.
