Are you going to eat it with bacon? :0

[escardos]

i

i guess i could?

[hawkwardness]

Finally, a cake I can eat.

[escardos]

?????????????????????????????

[hawkwardness]

What? It's true.

[hattersgonnahat]

oh!!

...that doesnt look like a cake but you could have it with bacon and toast.

[She'd ask why this, but she's pretty sure she knows the answer to that already.

So instead:]

Usually, it's not just eggs.

Usually.

cannibalism tw im so sorry

[escardos]

wouldnt that be like eating yourself????? i mean. they're eggs. from birds.

[hawkwardness]

Please. I'm not a chicken. That's like saying you eating a hamburger is cannibalism because you're both mammals.

[escardos]

thats what reira said!

i might try it tbh?

[escardos]

i didn't have cake mix :/

[escardos]

dang that's cold...but it makes sense.

so you do eat eggs and chicken?

[lifeforced]

I could tell you where Lia and I have been getting what we use, if you want.

[hawkwardness]

Birds eat other birds all the time. Sometimes they try to eat me. That's nature. It's rough.

But I've never gone after chickens and most birds guard their eggs. So not really.

[stavros]

Is that a cake, exactly?

un: ruadhspeir

[redskytakewarning]

Is that how cakes work?

[soft_focus]

Do you not like bacon?

You're supposed to have eggs with bacon.

It's probably the same with an egg cake.

[nor_iron_bars]

yeah but are you gonna frost it?

[Oh no.]

[escardos]

um

im not really sure.

what kind of frosting should i use?

[escardos]

i don't dislike it?

i guess it is pretty nice. like an american breakfast!

hmmm maybe someone should try to make bacon cake, too.

[escardos]

doesn't it look like one? it's super pretty, like one of those angel cakes you see in the bakeries!

[escardos]

woaaaahh hold up! you've almost been eaten before???

[escardos]

i mean it looks like a cake, so i don't see why not!

[escardos]

eh?

really?

[lifeforced]

[She's taking that as a yes, so the next message is an address for one of the stores in Soleil.]

[hawkwardness]

Yep. Golden eagles, peregrine falcons, owls, they'll go after hawks like me.

[escardos]

what????

i mean, i guess i get it, it's nature and the cycle of life and stuff. what if some random bird eats you and we never see you again?

[escardos]

i

thank you?

i've never baked a real cake before, though.

well, if you don't count this as one.

[nor_iron_bars]

[No hesitation whatsoever:]

maple syrup flavor.

[WHY DO YOU DO THE THINGS THAT YOU DO.]

[lifeforced]

If you're using a mix instead of trying to make one from scratch, the box usually has instructions printed on it somewhere. There's plenty of recipes that you can find online too if you want to try any of those instead.

We're just down the hall if you want any help. [Two rooms away, in 403.]

Or you could just drop in on the cooking club sometime.

[hawkwardness]

It's fine. There aren't any normal birds of prey nearby. And I'm good at not being eaten, obviously. Plenty of motivation.

I spend half my time indoors, too. I'm not going to be eaten.

[stavros]

I suppose it does resemble one... Is this a question, then, of what constitutes a cake?

[soft_focus]

It's only american?

Did you have to invent the egg one? Are you going to invent two cakes now?

[escardos]

you think i'd be allowed there? i'm not really sure...

but i'd love to join! i could create some super cool new recipes!

[escardos]

ahh hm...i actually don't know! i guess some would say that as long as it looks like a cake, then it's a cake? why do you think christmas cake still exists?

[escardos]

with eggs?????????????

[stavros]

Isn't Christmas cake still a cake? I'm not sure how it wouldn't be.

[escardos]

hmm i'm not sure if i invented them. but hey if i did that'd be pretty cool huh?

[escardos]

i'm pretty sure my egg cake is more tasty than an xmas cake, lbr here.

[escardos]

so if one day you're eaten, will we just stop seeing you? or do you think someone will make you into fried chicken?

fried hawk?

will you taste different than a chicken?

[stavros]

Do you mean fruitcake or the kind with the custard and strawberries?

[escardos]

fruitcake!

[stavros]

Fruitcake isn't that bad. It lasts for months! It's practical.

[nor_iron_bars]

with TWELVE eggs.

[The real reason why they sent Flat to Daybreak: they're used to cursed shit here.]

[hawkwardness]

Nope. Can't say owls and eagles are known for their cooking skills. But I have magic and they don't, so I doubt I'll be dinner.

Also, if you really want to go there... worse. Lean meat. I'm not sitting around in a pen getting fat. Better stick with chicken, dude.

[soft_focus]

Even the bacon cake?

It would be 'super cool'!

[lifeforced]

[He might not be sure if it's alright, but he does seem to be interested, so they should at least give him a chance, right?]

We can swing by to get you next time we're going to do stuff.

[escardos]

the dry fruit is the worst! no one eats that anymore!

[stavros]

Just because everyone on TV says it's bad, so no one wants to try it.
