Aventurine can cook pretty well, but...

[ Some others (Yi Sang) have already shown that they should not be allowed near it. ]

I'm not so sure about the rest either.

[ She looks down at the cookie, and then looks up at Rom thoughtfully. ]

Alright, but if we're going to do this, then we should get to learn a little more about each other's preferences. Swap some stories, and then we can rate each others cookies at the end on how well we nailed what we just learned.

[ Can one get all of that into a cookie? Who knows, but she's going to try. ]

[phenomerom]

Haha. That's quite a lot to fit into one cookie.

[ But, well! The Enigma Syndrome isn't one to just back down from a challenge! He hums idly to himself as he continues perusing the cookies on offer. ]

I suppose we should start learning about each other, then ... Would you like to start with a story? Or maybe one of those personality questions you often see -- how would you summarize yourself in one word and why, so on and so forth.

[nrangel]

We'll give an abstracted, simplified version of it.

[ She's determined with her idea now. Though she's not picking a cookie yet until she hears more from him. ]

Why don't you start with telling me a story. That sounds more interesting.

[phenomerom]

A story, hm? [ He idly picks out a cookie -- star shaped -- to toy with between his fingers. ] -- ah, not to worry, this one's just a practice round. I'm not getting a head start on the one for you.

[ He ends up briefly tap-tapping the cookie against the tabletop in thought. ]

... would a ghost story suffice? Or would it have to be something more personal.

[nrangel]

[ Even if he was getting one, she wouldn't have minded, so she gives a little one shouldered shrug to dismiss any thought she might be worried about that.

The question makes her frown thoughtfully though. ]

A ghost story? Is it related to you in some way?

[phenomerom]

Of course~! I haven't forgotten the point of our little game.

[ Yes, of course he's going to take their game seriously. ]

Do you like ghost stories by any chance, Miss Serpilia? I collect a lot of them myself, through my own field work, you see.

[nrangel]

I guess I've never really gone out of my way to listen to them, but I don't mind them.

[ Since it's related to his work though, seems like a fair place to start, so... ]

Alright, lay it on me.

[ She will be stealing a small, undecorated cookie to start nibbling on during this story, but don't mind that fact. She really can't be expected to sit here and not eat at least a little. ]
