Experimental Toast // The Bar
May. 1st, 2012 02:02 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
THEN: Arthur made a brilliant discovery.
AND THEN: Arthur had tried to make toast. Literally, produce toast, on a plate. No matter how hard he tried, screwing up his face like someone trying to remember an answer in Trivial Pursuit, he couldn't even create a crumb. However, he could put bread in the toaster and have it come out as perfect toast, even after he noticed the toaster wasn't plugged in.
NOW: Arthur is in the Bar. Well, sort of. The Bar, on the basis that she isn't stupid, has put him in a little side room with tiled walls and floor. There are a number of objects in the room. Right now, Arthur is looking at a piece of bread very hard.
"Abracadabra!"
The bread explodes into croutons.
"...Oh dear."
There's a pile of similarly dispatched bread in a bowl next to him. The squid might like it, later on.

"That's a really weird way for a spell to go wrong," she says thoughtfully. "But at least it's a tasty one!"

Date: 2012-05-03 12:41 am (UTC)She gives the plates a considering look.

Date: 2012-05-03 05:41 pm (UTC)"I suppose you could try just asking, but that didn't work very well for the ice-lolly. Maybe if we try starting out with flour and then sort of work up to thin air?"
Conveniently, there is a bag of flour in one of the cupboards.

Date: 2012-05-03 09:26 pm (UTC)"Right." He itches over his eye and leaves a smear of flour. "Do you want to try first?"
no subject
Date: 2012-05-04 01:28 am (UTC)"Maybe not."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-04 02:04 am (UTC)"Alohamora!" There's a puff of flour and a smell of toast. He thinks for a moment. Then puts his hand over it and squinches his face up. The flour obediently liquefies and flows out from under his fingers.
"Oh..."

Date: 2012-05-04 10:12 am (UTC)She frowns at her flour and tries to remember back to when making a glass fall over was her single all-encompassing ambition.
Be pancakes, she thinks. Pancakes pancakes pancakes pancakes pancakes. Please be pancakes. C'mon, be pancakes, be pancakes...
Nothing continues to happen. But she can give it time.

Date: 2012-05-07 09:57 pm (UTC)She abandons her pile of flour and looks at Arthur's empty plate instead.
And suddenly, pancakes!

Date: 2012-05-07 09:58 pm (UTC)"Brilliant! Oh, well done. What do they taste like?"
no subject
Date: 2012-05-07 09:59 pm (UTC)But as it happens, they taste like pancakes.
