‘My night? What the heck happened to *you*, Numbuh 89? Got into a scrap?’
'Hey, Numbuh 2. . . How's your night?'
[A yawn, as she signs with both hands, though it seems her right leg is scraped up quite a bit in the knees.]
Hoagie Is Concerned. And more than willing to dote on her! ]
‘My night? What the heck happened to *you*, Numbuh 89? Got into a scrap?’
That’s crazy. You’re an operative *and* you’ve already got a job… seems like a lot to 𝙟𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚. HA! Get it? Juggle?
[ Slaps his knee. Man, he cracks himself up. ]
Yeah, I have two parents and some siblings, and a bunch of cousins, uncles and aunts! We're sorta like clowns for hire? It's a whole thing, ya know? It's why I dress the way I do!
[Does a lil cutesy clown pose!]
That’s so… COOL!
Yeah, I bet the obstacle course was like nothing for someone like you! You guys part of a circus?

Mmmm! ‘Delicious! Just to be safe, though, I should probably double check…’ +
‘You’ve been baking a lot recently. Although, Numbuh 3 and I do like to make sure the kitchen’s stocked. Still, I wouldn’t mind a trip to the store.’
[ He grins. ]

[ He grins. ]
'I just need to make sure I have the ingredients, if not, I'll go pick them up.'
[She makes her way to the kitchen, opening the cookbook to the dog-eared page and starts gathering what she'll need.]

[ He grins. ]
[ Perhaps something to explore… once he realizes it’s a natural sound and, in fact, not a neat trick. ]
Good to meet ya, Numbuh 7! Man, it’s been a while since we’ve gotten anyone new around here. You’re fresh outta the academy, right?
You know what, that's probably-- not too far off.
[Memories start to flood in, and she has to keep cool. She extends a suddenly stiff handshake to him.]
Sloane "Stretch" Kennedy, Numbuh 7, at your service~!
Nah, it’s not bothering me! I thought it was one of our resident rodents or something.
That’s a pretty neat trick, actually. Think you’re part amphibian?
[ He nudges her, clearly joking. ]
I like your style. I’m Numbuh 2. 2x4 Technology Officer.

[ There is no sign for Hoagster… and the time it takes him to spell it out almost makes it not worth it. Might retire it. ]
‘Yeah, see, you trust me! I’m nooo pressure. I just like to sit back and watch the process. +
'I... am not sure. Last time I tried to bake for an audience... I had a total nervous fit. . . but, maybe if it's you, I won't feel so bad? I trust you with every fiber of my being! ! !'
[ Rubs his hands together, grinning. ]
‘Plus, you can give me the most important job of all: licking the spoon when you’re done making the batter.’

[She closes the book on the doggy eared page with her hands, and tucks the tome under her arm.]
'Give me,'
[Counting on fingers for a second.]
'2 hours and 45 minutes.'
‘This is it. This is the one. It has to be this one.’

Is it buggin' ya? Sorry!
[Quieter froggy trilling.]
Hey—! You must be the new recruit. That you makin’ that sound?

'This one slaps harder than Count Spankalot, heavy recommendation on this one.'

Oh, hello!
Hey, kid!

[She interjects, and, yes, she realizes the point Numbuh 2 makes about Nigel is pretty accurate.]
[ He sidles over, browsing the recipes as she flips the pages. ]
‘Don’t worry—Numbuh 1 would probably blow his top if he found out coffee was anywhere in this treehouse.’
‘I’m considering the cake route…’

‘Don’t worry—Numbuh 1 would probably blow his top if he found out coffee was anywhere in this treehouse.’
‘I’m considering the cake route…’
[Inside are quite a few options, like cakes, cookies, pies, doughnuts, fudges, parfaits, all sorts of delicate treats.]

Hey, kid!
Hey, kid!
[ Oh… but whatever he wants? How can he turn down such an offer! ]
‘I don’t even know what I’d pick! A triple layer fudge cake with peanut butter drizzle? Or Strawberry shortcake cupcakes? Oh, oh! +
. . . 'Hey. If you give me a few hours, I'll make you whatever you want for dessert tonight. What would you like? If it's in my mom's recipe book, and I have the stuff, I'll make it.'
[Oh?]
[ Pats his stomach, mouth watering at the prospect of more dessert. ]
‘I guess we really should pack some up and bring ‘em to the new kid. And then I’ll have the leftovers!’

'Heh. Yeah, there's quite a few left! I made...too many.'
[Looking away, almost embarrassed. She always overloads on recipes.]
‘Yeah, we should. Are there any left? Hey, hey— no 𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 way to say ‘welcome to the team’ than delicious cupcakes! Huh?’
[ Hoagie thinks he’s soooo funny. ]
[ Pats his stomach, mouth watering at the prospect of more dessert. ]

But not a long one, ‘cause Numbuh 89 will probably make the snacks.

[ Plucking a cookie from the tray and shoving it into his mouth. ]
Mmmmf. ‘Y’know, if someone ate my portion of something you baked, I’d go berserk too. I don’t blame her.’
'You guys wanna watch Kuki beat the snot out of Wally for eating her cupcake with me? I made vanilla kitty cookies.'
[Holding the platter.]

[Worried all of a sudden that Kuki didn't like her cupcake or something and she's using "too cute to eat" as an excuse...oh god.]
'Was the cupcake bad? Did Numbuh 2 lie to me?'
[ :( ]
Ow, oooh, ouch!!!
[ It lands back on the baking sheet. Kuki shakes out her hands, reduced to admiring them. ]
‘They’re soooo cute, Numbuh 89! Too cute to eat!’
‘Nah, they’re perfect. And with the cookie dough center? Inspired. You got some gift, Numbuh 89! You need to bake more often.’
[ Pops the rest in his mouth, subsequently licking the frosting off of his fingers. He nods along with +

'Your cupcake, m'lord~'
[Wow, she seems a little chipper, more so than usual! She even lets out an airy giggle.]
