[Sam's broadcasting from a seat at Your Place, a milkshake on the table in front of her.]

Having now completed a couple years of it, I'm now pretty sure everyone under a hundred is improvising this 'real adult' stuff. And as for the rest of you? [She grins a crooked little grin, pointing at the camera with a cherry stem.] I've got some suspicions still.

[The broadcast would end there---and does, briefly---but the network's treated to Hiro hijacking Sam's drone to properly inform other Haveners.]

Hey, so, uh, what Sam means is that it's her birthday and she's just being cryptic. So, y'know. Don't let her forget it.

Day after tomorrow, after lunch sound good? Gotta find out if this place even has sea-salt ice cream.

And is it OK if Jendayi comes along?

That sounds awesome. Gives me time to decide what my favourite flavour actually is. Down to two contenders, but it's still a struggle.

[Sam makes an amused, dismissive noise.]

More than. She'd be welcome! And that said, I should warn you it's fifty-fifty for Hiro showing. Or, more like seventy-thirty since sweets are involved.

Hey, if we're going to be celebrating our successful deception of responsible adulthood, might as well bring along the ones helping us perpetuate it, right?

[Lea grins.]

"Fake it till you make it," much? But, I like that logic; yes, we might as well.

Basically. I've had a lot of practice in that area.

But yes, share the love and all that. And by love I mean ice cream.

You keep talking like that and you can consider yourself invited to every holiday meal I assemble.

I can live with that. You seem to be a better cook than me anyway, at least when it comes to things that aren't way too spicy for most people. I've had to tone down the spice a lot in most things I make for Jendayi, and it's kind of hit or miss whether or not it still tastes right to me afterward.

[She laughs a little, shrugging.]

That's probably on account of living with the youngest from a family of caterers for a while---my friend Felix ever shows up, you can thank him.

What sort of stuff d'you like to cook up for yourself, when you've got free reign?

Believe me, I will.

Spicy sushi rolls were always good, and relatively quick to make. Plus I made a kind of chili that Demyx semi-jokingly suggested weaponizing at one point after he ate some by mistake.

Man, I have never had homemade sushi. I probably couldn't handle half the heat you'd like, but if you make a batch anytime, can I beg some to sample off you? I'll offer some of the cookies I bribe Hiro with in exchange.

They're not hard to make; I'll show you how I make them for Jendayi sometime if you're interested. Thankfully, they're one of the things that still tastes good without the insane levels of spice that I like.

Until I get the chance to teach you, though, I'll gladly accept cookie bribes.

I am. You can teach me how to do sushi, I can give you the cookies and the recipe, we can BS a little, it'll be fun.

The cookies in question are honey chocolate chip oatmeal, if you were maybe wondering.

Hey, food and BSing; what's not to like?

Those do sound tasty; never thought of combining honey and chocolate chip before.

Nothing, that's what.

Yeah, it's not a common combination, but it's really good, and the source is its own gold seal. Felix's family had honey in almost everything, and I for one can vouch that it was never to the detriment of a dish---even when it sounded weird.

Don't guess a little sweetness ever did anyone any harm. Except maybe babies; I heard somewhere you're not supposed to give them honey for some reason.

Maybe something to do with whatever pasteurization it gets? I don't really know but I think that sounds right.

Maybe; it doesn't really matter in this case though. Jendayi's the youngest one here, and she's far from a baby.

Anyway, I look forward to ice cream and recipe sharing like adults.

I'm going to wonder for a while now, though. If it bugs me to the point I look it up, I'll let you know---for now, though, I've gotta say I miss google. And youtube. Probably youtube more. But, enough of that!

I do, too.

I don't know what either of those things are so I'll have to take your word for their usefulness.

But anyway, see ya then?

I'll fill you in over the ice cream.

For sure.

Til then!

[He tosses off a jaunty, two fingered salute before cutting the feed.]
