soda. maybe? god, how am i even supposed to know either way it's too late it is already cooked and definitely terrible. why doesn't this damn place have duncan hines readily available for potential depressive episodes, god knows we're all miserable around here
Honestly? They really should look into some "just add water" options for us here. I don't know who I need to talk to to make that happen, but maybe I will.
[ no, she knows that's probably never going to happen, but she can joke about it. and she knows "depressive episode" might just be carmilla having a Moment because she messed up whatever she was baking, but also, it might not be? considering this place is kind of a nightmare sometimes. so. ]
Although... I know this is probably really different than whatever you made, but I have chocolate chip pancakes here? They're Steve's favorite, so I made a lot. You're more than welcome to have some, if you want.
( literally no one said that and also there's nothing wrong with the name steve, you hater!!! sorry, steve... and sorry nancy, that she is like this.
she's even worse than usual, in fact, because maybe "depressive episode" is pretty accurate right now. the green eyes deal was A Lot and she's trying to get over it, but usually she gets over things through sex or chocolate. the first seems like too much work and even the second is currently failing her. )
brownies. i watched you do it from start to finish and apparently still managed to ruin it. where is the cute little 50s housewife lady when you need her chocolate chip pancakes, huh? where, at the invincible?
( just living with him and making him his favorite food, no strings attached? whatever you say, nancy, she's not sure she's buying it. sounds like a relationship without the fun parts, tbh. )
someone you knew back home is here with you? i can't decide if that sounds nice or terrible. actually, knowing 99% of the people i knew back home, it'd be terrible
( she doesn't have to deal with Laura's army of redheads here. that's good, right? she's not lonely at all. she doesn't miss any of them. and she might be a hateful little creature of the night but not even Carmilla is selfish enough to wish Laura were here. )
yeah. midge. can you imagine a more quintessential 50s housewife name, because i can't. but she's dead, so
( she's fine. she doesn't care at all about it. obviously. )
what are the chances i'd have to deal with the teenage boy if i did
There are a lot of times I feel incredibly selfish for being so glad that he's here, but I am. There are more than a few people from home I would rather not be stuck with here, trust me, but he's not one of them.
[ plus they both died in the same car wreck. it's fine, they're fine. ]
Oh, I remember seeing that name on the network. I'm sorry to hear that she's gone.
I'm sure he'll end up back here at some point, but there's a good chance he'll just hang out in his room if he sees us here. I can't make any promises, though. Is that a deal breaker? I swear he's not that bad. Even for a teenage boy.
( she doesn't have much she can say to that that isn't openly shameful. she only had about two people in her life that she'd even want with her here, and as much as she misses Mattie (and Laura, a girl she knew all of ten minutes in the overwhelming expanse of her lifetime, she shouldn't care so much about a spirited girl with more tenacity than sense), she doesn't have it in her to wish they were here.
but she's not above feeling distantly jealous. )
i'm sure the sad schmucks she cooked for dinner for night are pretty sorry, too. she's lucky to not deal with this shit anymore, right? we're supposed to think she's in some better place now, or something.
( midge was jewish, so hopefully some higher power scooped her up and has her somewhere less terrible. )
ugh. i guess not. i need chocolate and it's too sad to sit here eating overcooked bricks that taste more like the inside of an aluminum can
In the interest of not getting too philosophical in a text message, I'd say she's very lucky, yes. I'd like to think what comes next after this is better than what we're stuck with here.
That's the spirit. You can head over whenever you want, just let me know.

what kind of evil monster made baking soda and baking powder the same color and texture and yet they're different in some inexplicable way?

It might be okay!
It just depends on which it called for, and which you actually used.

But we do live together. I know him from home.
Did you... know a 50s housewife?
We made them here, at my cabin. Want to come over?

an hour, maybe. you got an address or should i just wander around hoping to smell pancakes
