[It's such a lovely day in Luceti that Raven thought it would be quite nice to take the time to cook something new for his fellow housemates. Not out of generosity mind you, more out of sheer boredom since he had no intention of eating it himself. After flicking through the recipe books he had settled on making a refreshing coconut flavoured sorbet.

However, he wasn't expecting coconuts to be this difficult to work with and had no idea how to get it open. After struggling with a knife for twenty minutes he decided that it was going to take more extreme measures to get through it's deceptively furry shell. Using his bow he placed a magic spell into the ground, then jumped back and threw the coconut at it. As a result, the coconut exploded into little pieces and splattered across the front yard, not exactly what he was going for.]

That's it, I give up! [He sighed and scratched his head, he didn't want to waste the nice weather so he needed a new idea. So he decided to grab his journal and ask. Might as well clean up the mess he made too, thinking that maybe he should have just gone to the store to get a hammer instead of being so lazy about it.]

Alright, I'm tryin' ta make a nice summery dessert and I need some suggestions! I'm thinkin' something exotic? Ya know, the kind that screams a nice hot day at the beach? Sorbet, ice cream, parfait, all the stuff I hate eatin' myself and really I don't know all that much about.

... wait, you have ladies in your house now? When did that happen?

[And why does that sound like a recipe for disaster?]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Last time the new feathers came in actually! Estelle came back and Patty showed up too!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Should I be worried about this?

[HE KNOWS YOU, RAVEN.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Huh, what do ya mean worried about it?

[They're not sexy enough for this old man.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Um, never mind.

So you want to make some kind of dessert as a treat for them. Okay, that shouldn't be too hard. It's hot outside, so something cold would probably be best.

... what about some shaved ice? That's pretty easy to make.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Oh, okay then.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure shaving ice is the same way ya go about makin' sorbets?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

It's kind of like that, except you don't put any other ingredients into the ice. You just shave it and then pour flavored syrup on the top, and maybe a little milk if you want that too.

[It's pretty hard to mess THAT up.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[Well I'm sure I can mess it up, it's a natural talent.]

Sounds simple enough, but not very fancy? I kinda like ta show off a little when I'm makin' desserts.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Fancy... hmm... I've got it! What about a strawberry or blueberry pie?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Ooh! Somethin' that isn't goin' ta freeze my hands! That sounds like a good plan, my boy!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Well, they'd still be cold, but not as cold as ice cream. You could even put a scoop of ice cream on it too when you serve it.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

But ya have to bake a pie first! It's nice and toasty warm by the oven, I think I manage that~ [He pauses.] Guess I'd still have ta make the ice cream though... I don't wanna use store bought stuff, it wouldn't help me with my cookin' that way.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

It shouldn't be that hard to just make some plain vanilla ice cream to go with it. Do you have an ice cream maker?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Nope! Never used one before either, I usually do this stuff by hand.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I could bring mine over if you want to borrow it-- it would make things a lot easier.

[And he could keep an eye on you to ensure there aren't any kitchen disasters in the process. ULTERIOR MOTIVE WHAT]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

That'd be great! I don't feel like goin' back into town so sure, come and swing by! Ya remember where I live, yeah?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

House 12, right? You're right down the road from me. I can be there in just a few minutes once I find where we put the ice cream maker.

[Voice > Action]

[crisisrain]

Yay! I'll be waitin' on the porch then!

[He's already finished cleaning up his mess, so he'll be waiting just as he said. It's such a nice day too.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Sure enough, about 15 minutes later, Emil will be making his way up the front walk with the ice cream maker cradled in his arms. He may have stuck a few of the ingredients into it to bring along just in case Raven didn't have them.]

Okay, we should have everything we need to make the ice cream!

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Raven jumps up onto his feet and runs over to meet him. Examining the object, looks weird indeed.]

Great! Yer gonna have ta show me how to use this thing though, don't wanna go destroyin' the kitchen or anything.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Don't worry, I don't think it's possible to destroy the kitchen with it. You just use this to help freeze all of the ingredients-- there's no cooking or anything involved at all.

[Which is probably a good thing, but then again, he has no idea about that little coconut fiasco from earlier...]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Since he doesn't know you've brought some along...]

So what ingredients are we gonna need? I'm guessin' milk or cream maybe and then the fruity stuff? Not a clue! Never made ice cream before.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

It's just two different kinds of cream, some sugar and some vanilla extract for the ice cream. I brought the cream and whipping cream along with me just in case you didn't have any, so all we'll need is the sugar and the vanilla.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

We definitely have sugar, not sure about vanilla but we could just use somethin' else if we don't, right? Oh! Oh! I've also got sprinkles, those rainbow ones cause I figured they'd make it look... uh... cute? I dunno, more appealin' maybe?

[He starts trailing off into a mumble, it barely makes sense, but it's clear he's thinking about toppings.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I don't know, the vanilla is kind of important... but I could always go back to my house and get some if we need it.

[OOOH did you just say the magic word, Raven?]

Rainbow sprinkles? That's great! Those make any kind of ice cream better. What about cherries? Do you have some of those too?
