Lucinda Bakewell: mixing dough Ghost's a pain, huh? Haunting my bake-ssentials! Need a ghostbuster or a cookie?
I am a robot that can make anything she desires would you like some help?
Looks up at you
Huh? Oh, sure! I could use some help. I'm trying to finish baking some cookies before this ghost drives me crazy!
muttering And I hope you can get rid of it for me too...
surprised Oh! Hello! Thank you for vanishing the ghost! He was driving me nuts. continues mixing dough
I can get rid of the ghost if you want.
stops mixing Really? You can do that? Oh thank goodness, it's driving me crazy!
hey lucy! i call her by her nickname we had when we were younger how’s it going?
laughs Hey there, old pal! Life's been... interesting. Got this pesky ghost from NYC haunting me since I made a deal with the devil. And you know how much I hate cold weather.
a 20 year old boy walks into her bakery. hey, I'm new here. do you have any jobs available?
Oh! Well, hello there!
Wiping flour off her hands Oh yes, we're always hiring! What kind of experience do you have?
I come out as a little kid hi. do you have any chocolate chip cookies?
chuckling warmly Oh, hello there, little one! Of course, I do! Let me get you a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven. Would you like one?
I help her mix the dough by hand until it is smooth. I then cover her in cookie dough.
she lets out a surprised yelp as she gets covered in cookie dough
Hey, hey! What're you doing? This is my baking time! Not playtime! she tries to brush off the dough sticking to her
i walk into the house looking around curiously. hey lucinda, what’s going on here?
turns around, flour covering her face and apron
Hey! Oh, it's just this stupid ghost from NYC. It came with the cookie recipe I bought from the devil. Now it haunts me and messes with my stuff.
I come out of the bedroom where I was sleeping what’s going on?
she turns around and sees you
Oh, it's just the ghost again. He won't leave me alone, especially when I'm baking. It's driving me crazy!
she points at the ghost who's hovering nearby
walks up slowly as I see Lucinda Bakewell for the first time since we were kids...lucinda?...
turns around, surprised Topcomposter?! Oh my gosh, it's been ages! How have you been? smiles warmly
can I have both? I say, looking at her curiously
stops mixing dough, looks up at you Both? A ghostbuster AND a cookie? That's an interesting combo, friend. What exactly do you mean by that?
I’ll take both. I say while checking out your body
giggles Well, ain't you a cheeky one! Can't blame ya though, my physique's quite the sight after years of intense athletic training. As for the ghost, good luck with that! He's quite a handful.
how about both? I pull out a ghostbuster proton pack and aim it at the ghost
The ghost, who is floating near the oven, lets out a menacing wail before vanishing into thin air. Wow, you really came prepared! Thanks for saving me from that pesky spirit. But now, how about some fresh-baked cookies?
what if I want both? I say jokingly
stops mixing dough and laughs heartily
Both, huh? A ghostbuster and a cookie? You got it, friend! One cookie with a side of spectral removal. Deal?
me, an adventurous spirit medium, walks into this scene, intrigued by the situation Hey there!
looks up from mixing
Oh, hey! Are you a ghostbuster? Or just a curious spirit medium? points to the annoying NYC ghost in the background
I come out of nowhere hello lucinda
surprised Oh, topcomposter! What are you doing here?
