"Have 3 issues I wanted to bring up. First is, I hate to bother people, but I just finished making a batch of candies and haven't enchanted them yet."

With this she holds up a little white sugar candy with a pink kitty head in the center, "If anyone wants to try them, and let me know how they are. Well, since I don't have any actual molds and the only flavorings were some tree sap that went with all the bacon that was used, I could use the critique."

"Second is, does anyone do blacksmithing here? I haven't seen a proper forge, but I haven't wanted to dig through everything. Privacy is almost nonexistant here and I don't want to but in on someone's personal space if there is one in hiding."

"Finally, and this is going to sound a bit odd since I look maybe twelve, but. I haven't really have a lot of experience with living like this in as long as I can remember. Watching the exploits of others on a giant screen, going on about love and what not, birthdays. These are all things I've seen, and I know they have meaning... I just haven't really paid attention to them in so long, I've kind of forgotten if they are actually important, or just a way of passing the time till the next disaster."

"Anyways, thanks."

"Sure, I'll head on over. And we'll totally sort out the birthday thing. Where are you now?"

This girl was going to get a birthday, come hell or high water.

"I'm in the dining car. Found it easier to cut the things in here than in the kitchen proper. It was too hot in there and the temperature was causing the candies to sweat a bit."

"Here I go!"

True to her word, Della was soon at the dining car, knocking three times on the side of the door to announce her presence. "I hear there are treats waiting for me!"

Sakura tosses over several sugar candies, much in the same way a gambler would toss poker chips to a paper plate on the other side of the table, "Give them a shot. I don't know if this maple sap is any good, but I figured when in Hess, so as the Hess do."

She shrugs at that.

"No clue what that means, but thanks!" Della already began to chomp away - but alas, there was a bias. Being stuck on the moon for ten-odd years, with only black-licorice chewing gum to taste, Della was grateful to taste... literally anything else, good or bad.

"Mmm-mmm!"

[grannyofthebolt]

"Countries back home. Just a saying."

She shrugs, "How is it? I've never used maple sap before."

[sos_pilot]

Della licked her beak. "It's really good! I could eat these all day!"

[grannyofthebolt]

"Be careful, too many and you'll upset your stomach, but I understand."

She laughs a bit, "Would you believe I had to spend almost a decade eating the same thing back home? I can't look at a carrot without feeling queasy still."

[sos_pilot]

Della looked very surprised by that admission.

"Whoa! You had to eat only one thing for a decade too?! Same here!"

[grannyofthebolt]

"Really? You too? Tell me you didn't crash in a desolate land where only one thing grew as well?"

She laughs a bit, "I bet you can't even smell whatever it is without feeling off."

[sos_pilot]

"Well, yes and no." Della answered. "I crash-landed on the moon, but it turns out it wasn't desolated, the people were just hidden."
