[The video cuts in to show Ken frowning down into the camera, breathing a little too hard and too fast, and biting his lip. Clearly he is looking for something in one of the Dreamberry's menus, jabbing at the keys beneath the screen; just as clearly he triggered the video feed in the process. The image shakes: he's grasping the Dreamberry as firmly as he can, but it doesn't seem to stop his hands from trembling. Confusion crosses his face for a moment or two as he tries to work out why the screen's changed, then he mutters a frustrated curse, but the audio doesn't seem to pick it up.

[The picture cartwheels madly as he tosses the Dreamberry onto the bank he's sitting on. When it lands and the tumbling stops, the screen shows nothing but a slice of sky, thin skeins of clouds drifting overhead. Sixty seconds later, the feed times out.]

[OOC: Ken's been dead for a week after Muraki murdered him, and has lost his voice as a penalty. Replies will be in the form of text messages, or possibly charades.]

[... which is about when Ken realizes he shouldn't have just let that video record, should he?

[He looks surprised for a moment, then momentarily guilty. Then he laughs, necessarily silently,eyes falling closed for a moment. Alice. He really is back, isn't he? Back and... and whole, seemingly, he isn't even sore and how does any of that make sense?

[Feeling like something's expected of him, he points to his throat and looks apologetic. Could I pass this off as a cold?]

[He nods. It's a lie, but what can you do. The last person he wants to fill in about the wherefores of all this is Alice. At least she doesn't seem to know anything happened to him, which is one blessing.

[Ken mouths, hang on a minute, holding up one hand, and hopes she understands that. Hell, he hopes she knows now to text...]

Baking isn't just cakes. It's breads and cakes, cookies and pies, pastries and all sorts of other things!

But cooking can be anything. Soup or meat or fish or vegetables.
