Anyone call for a bakery? | Video

Hello everyone. It seems that we must now pay rent? I gave it some thought, and how would you like a bakery? I was taught how to bake at a very young age, so I daresay I have some talent at it, not to toot my own horn.

_{[He blushes a bit.]}

And if I start one, what kind of things would you like there? Naturally, brownies will be included.

[Stop looking so cheerful about this! Reid's not cheerful. Look at him all slouched down and huffy. It's not just about jobs, either.

At least someone has an idea of what they could do, though :|]

Cookies. And cupcakes. Maybe actual cakes? And pastry things. Oh! And creampuffs.

[If he's given enough time, he can keep pelting suggestions at Balfour.]

I just thought of it on the way to Amery's...

_{[He laughs and rubs the back of his neck.]}

Write that stuff down for me when I get home, and then I can start something up. that is, if enough people are interested. I like cooking; you know that.

It's a good idea. Especially since it's something you like to do.

[And as the saying goes, when you do something you love, you never work a day.]

Maybe you could use an assistant or something, 'cause I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do.

_{[Balfour smiles and shrugs.]}

I suppose. I don't see why not, you know. We can split the profit. Do you know the technology of this world? You can help out on that end, too.

[Well. He supposes he can perk up a bit over that, but he's still sulking.]

Yeah, that'd be cool. And of course I do. What'd you need help with?

_[...]

Pretty much everything.

[That gets a laugh, at least.]

Alright. Then I'm your man.

Good. Always good to know I have someone to count on.

_{[He laughs and blows Reid a kiss.]}

You can always count on me.

[He smiled.]

I'm glad. I love you.

_{[Have a very sappy smile. Those things, those little things, mean the world to him.]}

Love you too, baby bear.

[Reid'll see your sappy smile and raise you a very content one.]

_{[Balfour blows Reid another kiss and kills the feed to continue his walk to his brother's apartment.]}

That ain't too bad of an idea. I ain't no expert but if ya want I can help out with stuff.

[ paying rent and all calls for tmes when Kuwa actually learned how to cook in his Vatheon days. ]

There ain't nothin' emabrrassin' about a man that knows how ta bake. It's pretty damn useful when it comes down to it.

Edited 2013-07-11 00:25 (UTC)

I'm glad you feel that way. I found it quite useful to know how to cook for myself, back home, considering the other option was nasty food that someone else failed in making.

_{[He scrunches his nose. Okay, he's a touch picky.]}

I'm going to try to go with minimal staff, but I could use a bit of help, and I know there are people who need jobs, so we can probably work something out.

Hey that's how ya gotta survive, then that's how ya do it. Eh, I guess I was fortunate enough to have sis's cookin.'

Well if ya need someone for anythin' I wouldn't mind doin' something. Rather than complainin' about it, I might as well ask around.

I'll keep you updated. I wouldn't mind a little extra help. My brother taught me how to cook, so...

_{[So he would be asking Amery while he was at it.]}

But I'm sure we can find a place for you if you can't find anything. It's nice to see someone with your kind of attitude.

_{[At least he wasn't bitching about having to work. He was willing to do something about this whole rent thing now.]}

That's nice. Sis's been the one that cooks most of the time. She wants me to work on studies and stuff.

Eh, I'll find somethin' if it don't work out. Haha, it ain't right to complain about a natural occurance in life. Nothing's free so.

You seem sensible. I'm sure you would be a great help, actually. What would you prefer to do? There's delivery, baking, waiter, and takign the orders? I'm sure things can be combined if there aren't enough people, but...

_{[He shrugs and smiles.]}

I don't got any experience a lot of those, but how hard can they be? I guess whatever ya need more help with makes more sense.

I'll let you know when I get everything set up, then. Thank you for volunteering.

Yeah sounds like a good plan. Jus' give me a heads up an' stuff and nah thanks to ya I might not have to worry about that too much.

Of course. That will be no problem at all.

_{[And one less person having to worry about jobs really helped. It made Balfour feel good, feel like he was doing the right thing.]}

Then I'll probably leave ya to yer busy work. I don't want to hold ya up. Thanks again!

That sounds like a nice idea. Are you going to be hiring help too?

[ Don't do it. DON'T DO IT. ]

In addition to pastries, maybe you could think about having tea and drinks too, to go with it.

I plan on trying to run it on minimal staff, but I'm sure I could use the help getting the orders to customers. I wouldn't mind a bit of help.

_{[He smiles a little bit.]}

Oh! That's a great idea! Tea and baked goods.

[ You have made a wise decision, and dodged a bullet you didn't even know about. ]

Sure, I'd be happy to help!

Yeah, it only makes sense. They're going to want something to drink too.

I don't know why I didn't think of that. We can definitely get some tea going, too. It wouldn't be a problem. Do you have any suggestions as to what kinds of tea I should carry?

Yeah! That'll be great!

What kinds of tea? Well... you can't go wrong with herbal teas. I think there are some fresh herbs in Highcrest too. I can gather some for you if you want.

Personally I love black tea, and chamomile - raspberry tea too. I'm not sure I'll be able to find those specific blends though. Not in Highcrest anyway.

Any help will be much appreciated!

_{[He grins and writes something down in regards to tea.]}

What's your name? I'm Balfour.

It's nice to meet you Balfour! My name is Akane. Akane Tendo.

It's a pleasure, Akane. I'll let you know when I get everything set up.

[Did somepony say...bakery?

Pinkie pops up seemingly out of nowhere.]

"Oooo! Ooo! Can I help? I love to bake!"

_{[Excuse him while he wonders just how the hell a horse knows how to bake, much less talk. Sorry, Pinkie, you're getting a bit of a weird look.

He shakes it off after just a moment, shrugging a bit.]}

Well, I'm sure we can find a place for you. Baking, or perhaps just taking orders out?

_{[Because...the options of how Pinkie baked...sounded sort of off-putting to Balfour. It was either hooves or mouth and neither sounded very clean.]}

[Well, she does use her mouth, but no pony has ever complained!]

"Oooo! I can deli ever stuff if you want, it'll be a great way to meet new ponies! I love meeting new ponies!"

You're...actually the only pony I've met.

_{[Balfour is very. Very. Confused.]}

But yes, delivery would be a great task.

[Pinkie tilts her head to the side, thoughtful.]

"Well...I guess I mean humans," [she says the word slowly, unused to it.] "But really? The only pony?"

The only talking pony, anyway.

_{[He's rather confused. Really. What did Reid slip in his tea is his first question.]}

[Don’t feel bad, Pinkie confuses ponies she’s known for years.

She looks rather concerned though.]

"The ponies you know don't talk? That's awful! Do they have poison joke infections? ’Cos I know a cure!"

The horses I know have never talked. There's...no reason they would.

_{[No, seriously, he doesn't get it. What's a poison joke infection? Why is this horse talking?]}

A bakery? Would it be possible to get one of these "jobs" there?

Of course. I don't see why not. Do you have any experience?

When I was stuck in my tower, I baked/cooked a lot. Does that count?

Of course! I wouldn't mind having some help on the cooking end.

_{[He grins at Rapunzel, rolling his shoulders.]}

My name is Balfour, by the way. It's nice to meet you.
