WE'RE STILL HERE AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS FOR GRUMP'S SAKE

[Well today was quite the unusual way. Filbo pretty much went into his room and collapsed on his bed and just fainted because hey, everything that happened? It's overwhelming. Bluuuuuuuh.

A few hours later, once he recovered somewhat, Filbo just goes and gets paper. This is a ridiculous situation, but...hey, no matter what, stuff needs to be done]

I know today was a really weird day, but let's try to gather and see what happens. There will be ice cream at the ice cream parlor in half an hour. With everything that happened we really should try to at least not forget we need to stick together for whatever reason.

[Geez.

Well, he goes and does exactly what he said: this time it isn't booze, it's all kinds of ice cream available for anyone who comes. The tables all have spoons and water because really, this is going to be a whole lot of sugar for everyone. Better this than alcohol, especially since things clearly have gone off the rails one way or another, so may as well gorge yourself with ice cream and try to gather your wits for whatever the next week can bring]

There isn't much I can do in this situation. If my skill in a kitchen helps morale at all, I'll take that as an accomplishment.

[guffawsungraciously]

My morale is certainly boosted, at any rate. ...but really, for all you are good at inspiring speeches, you really could work on your tact.

I understand, of course. I have never necessarily been particularly good at that sort of thing myself, so I tend to try and keep my mouth shut if I remotely care about the possibility of making things worse.

...I’ve been known to let impulse govern my actions on rate occasions. It’s something of an unfortunate fault.

[guffawsungraciously]

Well, I suppose it will come to you in time.

[...like, he gets it...]

Actually, say, do they have fruit sandwiches where you are from? I did not suggest them previously because my favorite variety involves strawberries, but I have been wanting one for some time...

[jibunwo]

I've seen those before, I think. I might be able to recreate a couple varieties.

[guffawsungraciously]

[!!!!!]

Oh, please do. That would be fantastic.

[jibunwo]

You really like sweets, don't you? I have to admit that's not what I'd have expected.

[guffawsungraciously]

I do not find it quite as strange as a masked revolutionary firebrand having baking as a side hobby.

...

. . .

Fair enough.
