Okay. Just...in the order you set them on the counter? You'll tell me how much to use, right?

Yes! It's like...part of the uniform, or something.

Yeah, I'll tell you as we go. Wet ingredients first.

I used to have an actual chef coat back on the Baratie. But I never wore it because...it was a uniform.

Okay. I'm ready!! What's first??

Well. It's a little hard to picture you just wearing the same thing as the rest of the cooks.

...The wet ingredients—I'll just tell you in person as we go, okay?

Yeah, that's why I didn't. It pissed the old crap-geezer off, heh.

Okay. You're right, that's probably easier anyway, heh.

He seemed kinda like he'd get pissed off easy. Or maybe you just made an extra effort.

...Probably both. Yeah. Heh, definitely put in some extra effort there.

Yeah, I figured.

...by the way. Kid wants to know if you can make chocolate cream pie for Lucci's birthday too, because apparently that's the kind of pie he likes. And somehow I'm supposed to be the one that tells you that.

Chocolate cream pie? Yeah, I can do that. Can never really go wrong with chocolate anything.

Awesome. I'll have some too, then! And that's obviously because chocolate is THE BEST.

...I still don't know why I had to be the one to ask though. Well. Apparently it's because he has issues with your hair. Or something like that.

I'm sure Lucci won't be at all upset that that leaves more cherry pie for him.

Oh yeah, I'm too unsymmetrical for him or something. Like he's one to talk about bad hair.

We could put the candles in the chocolate pie, too, so Lucci wouldn't have to worry about them ruining his cherry pie, and then he can still make a wish.

...well. M-maybe that's it. He hates his hair, so he probably resents that you make yours asymmetrical on purpose. That kinda makes sense, right? ...I mean, to the degree that caring about whether somebody's hair is symmetrical CAN make sense.

You think he's gonna want to make a wish?

Which is not at all.

...maybe.

Well, I didn't say it wasn't a STUPID reason.

Or maybe not.

I don't see how he can live like that, I'd go fucking crazy.

Well, it's his birthday, and I know he's all--he's not happy about it this year, but that would be another good thing he could get out of it, right?

...isn't that a, um. Mental disorder in the first place? Something like that? That's what George was saying.

Making a wish would be a good thing he could get out of it? Heh, do you remember last year I actually put every candle on the one pie? I thought he was going to kill me.

...I have no idea.

If it came true, it would. Haha, yes! He was pretty mad. Which is why you should stick them all on the chocolate one instead this year. ...and maybe ONE on his first slice.

I don't know. He confuses me most of the time, anyway.

I should just put a crazy amount of candles on every pie. That wouldn't piss him off or anything.

Yeah, he's...weird. Is he coming back?

Oh! Do you have those kind that relight after you blow them out??

I THINK so, yeah. But...again. He's kind of confusing, so I'm not SURE.

...You know, I think I do.

Whatever, as long as he doesn't mess up my galley again.

...awesome. THOSE are great! He'll definitely need those!

Yeah. George thinks I should keep my Factory locked when I'm not in there and...I guess maybe she has a point.

He's definitely reading this thread, by the way. But hell yeah, I'm using those.

Might not be a bad idea. Otherwise you'll come back one day and not know where the fuck anything is.

...well. Then he's ruining his own surprise and that's dumb. Maybe we should start a secret private thread and figure out some MORE stuff that he won't know about.

Yeaaah, he already did that to me once. It took me a whole afternoon to put all my tools and stuff back where they belong.

Like one where we can talk about all the other birthday decorations we're putting up? And the song that Brook and Franky are going to perform for him??

It's annoying. Why are we still talking about him?
