[in the TARDIS kitchen]

[There's the sound of lots of banging.

And lots of sloshing.

And a little bit of cursing.





What the hell is going on in here.]

*you might want to duck if you don't want to get hit in the face with some kind of slimy projectile*

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

[If I didn't get hit with slimy projectiles, what would my function in the group be, again? So, getting hit]

Oh. My God, what is this? Can't you see that I'm right here?

[inthemoodnow.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, Rory.

*waves with a spatula in one hand... a spatula dripping with batter... like that in the bowl that he's holding in the other hand... with a few other bowls scattered on the counter near him*

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

What on Earth are you trying to do, anyway?

[Wiping the gunk off his eyes, at least]

[inthemoodnow.livejournal.com]

It's a cake. In progress, obviously.

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

Most cakes in progress aren't actually projectiles, you realize.

*behind Jack, some of the batter in a bowl on a counter. jumps a little.*

Yeah, well, it's a little rowdy.

I think something strange from the fridge got accidentally mixed in.

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm thinking that's a possibility. And you were still going to make it anyway? For who?

[inthemoodnow.livejournal.com]

It was for the TARDIS party. And this one was going to end up being reserved for the Doctor, but I'm beginning to have second thought about even that.

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to take a look?

[inthemoodnow.livejournal.com]

*a little incredulous*

Do you want to take a look?

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

Well, look, okay, I'm not an expert chef but I can follow a recipe card decently.

[inthemoodnow.livejournal.com]

Hey, this is not the first cake that I've baked and not the first cake that I've baked in an alien environment. Sometimes you're just unlucky.

[tea-bagging.livejournal.com]

[yeah, that sounds like a bad plan]

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

[Covered in gunk]

Thank you for your timely and helpful warning.

[tea-bagging.livejournal.com]

Jack is in the kitchen. I'd suggest keeping clear.

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

You being a time traveller would've been very helpful just then. You've got it in the wrong order.

[tea-bagging.livejournal.com]

Experience is the best teacher.

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think experience and foreknowledge work best together. You wouldn't just set someone into surgery without sending them to years of uni.

[tea-bagging.livejournal.com]

But you would allow a child to play Operation without foreknowledge . . . or a captain to bake a cake.

[pondpuppy.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, if every game of Operation turned out like this cake, I might not.

This is . . . a unique situation.
