STRIFE: PASTRYKIND

[busy_fists]

Who: Dad, Mom, and anyone else who's looking for a safehouse
What: Dad has taken it upon himself to fortify the bakery until the event is over
Where: Achewood Bakery
When: February 5th until event end
Warning: I guess potential violence if anyone tries to attack them there.  Action tags to keep things rolling.  No post order.  Threadjacking welcome and encouraged.  Let's do some mingling.

When he heard the phone call, Dad's protective instinct immediately kicked in and he headed off to the bakery with Mom to make preparations.  He wasn't able to locate Rose, but hopefully she would see the note he left for her on the kitchen counter at home.  Once at the bakery, Dad immediately sets to work, de-captchaloguing dozens upon dozens of previously baked pies and setting up a sort of defensive barrier surrounding the front entrance.  While he's working, he gets to work on baking as many more pies and cakes as the bakery's facilities can handle, and sets these and whatever was left over from building the defenses aside for later use in attacking.  There are also numerous cans of shaving cream nearby just in case he needs to pull out the big guns.  Dad will be letting anyone in who can demonstrate that they are unarmed and unwilling to attack the bakery itself or anyone inside.  Nonviolent passersby will be ignored, and anyone attempting to break in forcefully, attack the people inside, or bring down the building will find themselves violently buffeted with various baked goods and shaving cream from a family man who is clearly in no mood to to take any of the town's shit anymore.

action tags cool??

[ coming across her mayfield dad's corpse... es... was a bit of a shock to her, but one thing's for sure. she won't be returning home any time soon.

... not that the rest of the town looked any safer. Platina just happened to be passing by the bakery, missing her pokemon more than ever, when she recognized the neighbor with the odd statue through the window. was something going on? she hesitated, then decided to check it out. ]

Always

[Dad peers through the window to see who's coming before cracking open the door. He's got an upside down pie tin on his head, wearing it like some kind of helmet or something. He somehow looks ridiculous and super serious business at the same time.]

Platina! Come in. It's safer in here.

[ okay any father-like figure that is not kidnapped/bleeding/dead is pretty much the most welcome sight... it helps that this place SMELLS AMAZING. she'll just make her way past the defensive barriers to the front door then! ]

[busy_fists]

[Dad gestures to the pile of baked goods he set aside for consumption purposes in case they have to stay here for a while and hunkers back down behind the barrier.]

Help yourself to whatever kind of cake or pie you want. Did you make it here okay? No injuries or anything?

[Because he dads over everyone to some extent.]

[acuity]

I'm... fine. Thanks for asking...

[ ... just unsure about the rest of her household, wherever they are 8( she's not particularly hungry but wow that is a whole lot of pies and cakes! even for a bakery I mean! ]

Did you make all of these?

[busy_fists]

Yup, sure did! Hand-baked with love.

[He laughs and winks in that 'goofy dad' sort of way.]

[acuity]

[ ... okay she smiles a little even if she tries to hide it behind cupped hands. ]

It seems like a dangerous time to be baking, though...

[busy_fists]

It is a dangerous time, but that's exactly why I'm baking.

[acuity]

Really? Why is that?

[busy_fists]

Baked goods happen to be my favorite kind of attack.

[acuity]

... Attack?

[ this is the clueless look of a girl who has clearly never seen anyone be pied in the face before. what a travesty 8| ]

[busy_fists]

Yeah. You throw them at people.

[acuity]

I've never thought if it that way before...

[ examining the nearest cake as if it were a bomb... ]

[busy_fists]

[Dad chuckles a bit.]

They're completely safe, if that's what you're worried about.

[acuity]

Perhaps I've just gotten so used to relying on pokemon that I've forgotten people can defend themselves in other ways, too. This one is... unique.

[busy_fists]

No one ever sees it coming, I can tell you that.

[acuity]

You certainly have the advantage of surprise. Could I help in any way?

[busy_fists]

Well, how's your arm?

[acuity]

My arm?

... You mean, to throw with?

[busy_fists]

Of course, what else would I be talking about?

[acuity]

It should be fine.

[ has probably never thrown anything in her life except for pokeballs! ]

[busy_fists]

Maybe I can set up some target practice for you in the back...

[acuity]

That's a good idea. After all, the only way to get better at something is through practice and personal experience!

[busy_fists]

That's the spirit! I like your attitude. Come on, let's see what we can dig up back there.

[acuity]

[ will be following along~ ]

I hope that the owners of this bakery won't mind...
