Sally Houki A text to Kami to come over to Sally's for cupcakes and friendship!

Heidi (mostly) has been left to work on the baked goods while Sally ( a bunch of her ) cleaned house. Kami may be Worst Goddess, but you don't invite a God over when you haven't vacuumed. IT's just rude.

Of course, Sally is bad at accomplish anything, so this house cleaning effort has been fits and starts between video games and business and television shows and and and ...

Anyway, they're eventually ready for Kami, by the time she actually is meaant to turn up. If she turns up.

She did say she would.
Kaminari Kaminari is a busy goddess, between concerts, parties, social functions, and lately meeting with the legion of fashion designers who have been graced with the task of dressing her for the upcoming Met Gala. She is also a fickle goddess and even when invited somewhere there's never really a guarantee that she'll show up. Still those delicious cupcakes are a powerful lure with their delicious moist cakey insides and sweet in all the right ways frosting topping.

So it is that Kaminari alights upon Sally's porch. She's not wearing her baseball cap or dark glasses and it's quite possible she literally flew here straight from a fitting. *Ding Dong* The doorbell rings.
Heidi Ingerdottir Heidi has been hard at work in the kitchen (mostly). Sometimes Sally's terribly distracting, after all, but she's worked hard on some new cupcakes. Sort of a cinnamon-spice cake with cream cheese icing. She's been reading up on flavor combinations and is legitimately /fascinated/ trying to figure out Midgardian baked goods. That and they were a hit at the Asgardian embassy so she had determined she'd have to up her game. Had to be the best, if she took some of them to Asgard after all.

"ONE OF YOU GET THE DOOR AND YELL HAIL FOR ME!" She doesn't have to yell it. But she does. And will probably be audible from the kitchen /anyway/.
Sally Houki "Oh oh remind me to explain gluten allergies to you later, Heidi!" Sally calls after her as she heads tro the door.

Oh no. Poor Heidi.

ANyway, two Sallies open the door and let Kaminari in, taking turns attempting to give her hugs as they shut the door behind her. They're wearing cleanign gear, rubber gloves and what not, and they're a little tired looking!

It's unclear which, if either of them, is actually the 'real' Sally, if one is prone to thinking of them that way.

Or could the real Sally be the one coming down the stairs, nattering on the phone in Japanese. "Kaaaamiiii! So glad you could make it," she interrupts ehrself, hanging up the phone abruptly and heading for a THIRD Sally hug.
Kaminari Kaminari is not a goddess of hugs, indeed under many circumstances trying this could get someone electrocuted or worse, however Kaminari is rather fond of Sally and so the hugging is allowed to occur.

"Hello Sally." she smiles at her, there are a select few places Kaminari can let her hair down and this is one of them. Heidi's shouts only cause her to smile further, "Hail friend Heidi." she calls mimicing the greeting of her friend who might as well be the Yang to her Yin in terms of personality.
Heidi Ingerdottir "I HAVE PREPARED THE CUPCAKES," Heidi announces, being exceptionally loud to ensure her message is clearly communicated. After all, what use would it be if she were not heard? The cupcakes, which are arranged nicely on a plate (Heidi has been working on her plating technique), are set down on the table in the living room as the Asgardian moves towards where Kaminari is entering.

She gives some Sallies glares to make sure they stay away from the baked goods until /after/ Kami gets to them. "There are new ones to try. It is very important I get your approval." It is. After all, Sally and Kami are the opinions she cares about when it comes to cupcakes.
Sally Houki "Yaaaay," say the various Sallies, waving their fingers in the air as the cupcakes being ready is announced. Several of them vanish, leaving just one of the mo-holding Sallys in their place.

She puts the mop away and then takes off the gloves and tosses them on the counter in the kitchen, where their dirty-sud covered fingers drip and run down the counters. Oh well!

She'll notice that later and wonder who did such a silly thing.

She settles on her sofa. "So how are you doing, Kami?" She offers, happily.
Kaminari "Oh NEW cupcakes? That is definitely worth coming over, I will most certainly try them. I look forward to what new flavors you have been able to tease from this land's human cooking. Do they pair well with nihonshuu?" she asks holding up a bottle of sake entirely too large for most people to carry in one hand that she must have acquired from somewhere enroute. Because OF COURSE Kaminari brought alcohol for everyone, not that she couldn't probably drink it all herself.

"Busy. Very busy." she replies when Sally asks how she is doing. "These human fashion designers have such odd ideas. The theme of the MET Gala this year is the Mandate of Heaven and all they have been able to offer so far are /earthly/ fabrics." One can just imagine the impossible demands she is placing on these poor mortal fashion designers.
Heidi Ingerdottir The cupcakes are thankfully not a lie, and as Heidi gestures towards them on the coffee table, she moves to surprisingly gracefully settle upon the couch. She can be elegant and graceful if she wants, after all. She's just usually busy being straightforward and a little less poised. There's a delighted look on her face, however, when the alcohol is mention. Not for the alcohol itself, but...

"I am trying to combine Asgard and Midgard into one ultimate cupcake, but I have not perfected the recipe. It is very vexing to try and /create/ your own recipe for something... so I am learning from different types to make my recipe perfect." She leans forward, as if sharing a secret. "I'm going to put mead in a cupcake." The trojan horse of cupcakes!
Sally Houki "Annnyway, there's a reason I invited you over and it wasn't JUST for the cupcakes, even if they are delicious!"

She reaches for the cupcake, and then holds it in her lap, "Soooo, I'm just gonna come out and say it... Heidi and I have *totally* agreed to start dating!"

She beams.

See? it's good news! They're totally gonna go on a date.
Kaminari Asgardian. Mead. Cupcake. Kaminari was following along with what Heidi was saying after having described the various tortures she has been putting New York's fashion industry through when Heidi drops a bomb. Kaminari looks like she herself has been struck by lightning for a change, "An Asgardian Mead Cupcake. Is such a perfect creation even possible?" Sally definitely said something, but it's questionable if Kami actually heard her as absorbed as she is by the prospect of an ASGARDIAN MEAD CUPCAKE.
Heidi Ingerdottir "Yes, I am trying to perfect it. The problem is to get the texture to be properly cake-like and for the alcohol flavor to remain potent." Heidi has certainly been thinking about it... and testing. "I shall do my best, however, and then you can have such cupcakes at your /parties/." After all, Kami must throw amazing parties with the most important of guests. That's just what you do! She, too, is distracted from what Sally was saying. It's hard to pay attention when you've got the subject of cupcakes going on.
Sally Houki Sally Houki looks a /little/ crestfallen that her pronouncement was ignored, then she reaches for a cupcake and has a bite!

THat's about it.
Kaminari Kaminari reaches for one of the cupcakes as she listens to Heidi describe her plans for the ultimate confection combining the best of sweets and potent alcohol, two of her favorite things. "These are really good, too!" she remarks after swallowing down a mouthful, "You're getting better every time, truly these baked confections are fit for the gods." and she would know!

After a moment she looks over at Sally, seeming to notice her slightly crestfallen expression, "What's wrong Sally?" she asks like she has absolutely no idea, which she doesn't, "Did you know about these Asgardian Mead Cupcakes Heidi is trying to make? Was she keeping them from you?!"
Heidi Ingerdottir Heidi is busy bursting with joy about her cupcakes that she doesn't even notice there's a problem. She blinks a few times, then tilts her head in confusion as to what could have made Sally a little forlorn. It does come to her after a moment. "Sally and I--" She stops herself, then beams, gesturing to Sally with a nod for her to continue. After all, it was Sally that seemed to want to deliver the news, now she had full on center cupcake stage.
Sally Houki "...we're dating," says Sally, a little more softly.

"Heidi and I have started to date," she adds, reaching over and squeezing her hand., After all, she wanted to tell the news, and she might've chosen a poor moment originally, but now she's delivering it again. Not as much gusto, but delivered, and she still seems quite happy about it!
Kaminari Kaminari look from Sally to Heidi and back to Sally again, "Wait... this is.. a new thing? I mean.. I had just.. assumed.. I mean you were baking cupcakes together and going on pegasus rides..." she lets it go though, maybe they didn't realize even if everyone else did. "Congratualtions! What wonderful news!" she hoists the huge sake bottle up on to the living room table, "Well this calls for a drink!" Because everything with Kaminari calls for a drink.
Heidi Ingerdottir Heidi blinks a few times as Kami mentions thinking they were earlier. She turns her head to Sally slowly, a little unsure. "I mean, we were just doing things together that we liked to do and I wanted Sally to see what the world was like from the back of a pegasus... and then other Sally stole the first ride..." She looks to Sally for a moment. "Which I assure you, was very nice. I learned about a lot of New York City landmarks."

She looks back to Kami with some confusion. "Do... you not do that with friends on Midgard? I'm afraid relationships here are a little more complicated." She grimaces. "But I think I'm doing alright!"
Sally Houki "Y-yes. It's a new thing."

Sally blinks. Slowly, she turns her head towards Heidi, eyes meeting at nearly the same moment. A blush slooooowly starts to rise.
Kaminari Kaminari has three glasses, where did she get those from? The bottle of top shelf Japanese rice wine is opened and all three glasses a filled nearly to the brim with the delicious alcohol, "A toast!" she says pushing Sally and Heidi's drinks towards them before lifting her own glass, "To the happy new couple, may they find eternal bliss!" Her glass is raised and then drained and the bottle comes back out to refill hers and any other glass that might need it.

"So are you dating just this Sally, or like all of them?" Kaminari asks curiously between glasses.
Heidi Ingerdottir "I am dating Sally," Heidi says, as if somehow that answered the question. She does hold her glass up in the toast. "Eternal bliss sounds nice. Eternity is a /very/ long time." Future thoughts haven't really crossed her mind yet, all things considered. She drinks from her glass a little more conservatively, not because she's avoiding getting drunk but that she's still a bit distracted.

"Sally is like a cake made of cupcakes. You can take a cupcake and it's still the cake but it's also a cupcake? But you wouldn't date a bunch of cupcakes, you'd date the cake with an appreciation that the cupcakes are part of the cake?" Her eyes go to Sally to see if her explanation was accurate and understandable.
Sally Houki "I'm cake! Wait until twitter hears this!"

Sally announces, brightly, seeming fine with the comparison. On twitter, everything is made of cake. She is careful with the drink after the last time. She does not want to summon any monmsters into her *own8 home.

"I think she grokked it," She adds in aside to Heidi at her explanation, gesturing at Kami.
Kaminari "Wonderful, wonderful." Kaminari says draining another glass of nihonshuu. "Yes, Sally you are definitely a cake, a perfect combination for a cinnamon roll like Heidi."

Heidi's glass is topped off. "Don't worry Sally this isn't Asgardian Mead, it's safe." she notes for Sally when she sees her glass still not empty.

"Speaking of Asgardian Mead, Heidi, is there anything you need to make these cupcakes a reality? Money is no object, whatever you need." She seems quite serious, Kaminari is ready to write a blank check for Asgardian Mead Cupcakes.
Heidi Ingerdottir "I have not thought about making cinnamon rolls," Heidi seems to consider this. "It would not be harder than a cupcake, surely." Ah, the joys of experimenting with baking. She takes a sip from her glass before considering what it is that she needs. "I need to research how the alcohol mixes in and in what portions... I do not know if Midgardians use mead in their cooking, but alcohol types are very different so I will need to approximate for the flavor and texture of the mead so that it will not make the batter runny."

She is /clearly/ thinking a lot about these cupcakes. Goes to show when she puts her head into something, she really goes for it. Asgardians: they get the job done.
Sally Houki "Remind me to introduce you to 'beer battered fish' later," replies Sally to Heidi, then casts a sly looks towards Kami. Asgardian-Mead-Battered fish is evidentally on her mind. She then props herself against Heidi's side since the cat is now out of the bag, smiling.

Leaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

"You could, Kami, lease her a food truck so that she can sell cupcakes to pay the cost of it. That way, it would not be charity that Heidi would refuse, but rather, a business investment on your parwt that she would approve of!" She chirps. Clearly, she has not been thinking about that at all until just now. Totes.
Kaminari Kaminari tilts her head curiously at what Sally says before looking at her with a completely serious expression, "Charity? This isn't charity, I am offering her monetary compensation to develop something which I greatly desire. Pure economics." she looks to Heidi, "All the same if a food truck would be helpful to you just let me know and I will have one bought for you."
Heidi Ingerdottir Heidi puts an arm around Sally as she leans in (!) and looks back over to Kami. "I am certain it would take a relatively small amount of currency to research the effects of alcohol on a cupcake." And now we're doing science! Certainly not her field of expertise, but she's learning, and that's the key. That and she's obsessively organized. "I am certain that Sally will continue to let me use her kitchen, so I am uncertain that something more is needed. Unless Sally kicks me out of her kitchen." IS SHE DOING THE PUPPY DOG EYES? Yes. Yes she is.
Sally Houki Sally Houki is not obsessively organized.

At all.

She can't organize her way out of her own closet half the time. In any event, she's giving Heidi a big old smile. "Of course you can use my kitchen! Anytime you want silly." Boop! She booped her nose. Oh god, they're disgustingly cute.
Kaminari "So be it, I am looking forward to the results of your labors, I bet Thor would enjoy them as well." she refills all of the glasses as the bottle gets lighter and lighter.
