Baking Spree
Melanie Hall was cheering herself up a bit by doing something useful at which she was good. Beside the purple oven, currently, were cooling a batch of almond meringue cookies and a batch of butterscotch oatmeal cookies.
After the ventilations shift to send the scent further throughout the building, the oven door opened on a blackberry pie. She returned to herself and started transferring half of two-thirds of each batch of cookies onto plates, and one third of each batch into a sealed container. She put the container in a box with a note that said, simply, "Hope you and your brother are doing okay."

Once the package for David Roberts at Xavier's was set to be mailed, Mel returned to the kitchen to see if the others were there.

He finishes a big mouthful of cookie before continuing, obviously hungry. "So, they were pissed off at first. But they got a call from the Russian consulate while I was there. I'm not quite sure what they had originally intended to do, but there's no official punishment, and we have invitations to visit Russia whenever."

Another mouthful of cookie.

"So, you get my present?"

	"I'm glad we're not in trouble." Mel looked sheepish. "I've been a little preoccupied." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, apparently the Black Widow made some calls. They can't officially congratulate us for illegal work across borders, but we're definitely out of any trouble we were in and have something to negotiate raises or promotions with."

He nods to the second. "That's ok, even more fun to tell you myself. So I did a little bit of hacking on the video games set up on the game center in the temple. Technically illegal, yes, but for a good cause."

	"Yeah, I set up a pitch analysis program to get the tones right, and have started building ABBA's catalogue into Rock Band 2 and DDR. I only had time for Dancing Queen so far before I left, but I'll get the rest. Right now, its all set up so you can sing and dance to Dancing Queen and get points for it."

	Mel squealed. And then looks mortified for a moment because oh gosh, did she just do that? Still "Thank you, Jordan! That's really neat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He finishes two more cookies before replying. Yes, starving. "You're welcome. Of course, its hardwired into the temple, so you'll have to do your singing and dancing where people can see you, and maybe join in. I play a pretty mean not-guitar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh!" Mel says quietly and blinks. In front of people....? Then, she pulls herself together enough to actually make a joke. "I didn't realize you were an evil genius." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel giggles a little. " 'kay. So yes. Let's jam sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll bring the funk, you bring more cookies." he replies with a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)
