Who: Wanda & Ren
Username: @ max & @ ren
Warnings: None!


(The video starts, and two faces come into view. Those who live in the flophouse may recognize them as the two who spend most of their time in the kitchen together, talking and sharing culinary tips as they cook the night away and offer their dishes to those who live within the same walls, and occasionally the ADI-living comrade that comes to pay a visit.

Sitting side by side, they're smiling as if they were two old friends, and Ren guides the talk.)

Hey, this is Ren and Wanda. We'd like to invite everyone to have a barbecue outdoors with us next weekend, the 11th.

(Wanda takes over next:)

We can handle the cooking and everything ourselves, but some help would be appreciated. Ingredients, perhaps? (She looks over at Ren for confirmation on this.) Or if you want to bring something extra to share.

(It’s a nice way to bid farewell to the summer weather and the increasingly colder temperature settling in Gloucester afterall, right?

Wanda points at the camera. She’s all out of inspirational speeches about coming together and whatever.)

Is this live or just a video?

(Ren waves his hand, amused, and chuckles before he can reply as he fixes his glasses to his face.)

It's a video. I'll edit later.

(Never does it.)

Anyways, we hope to see you there.

(And the video ends with smiling, excited faces.)

Sounds fun. Can supply drinks if you want. [She won't even charge them.]

[forethinking]

Oh, that would be great!

Non-alcoholic too?

[aelwyn_aberration]

Naturally. It'd be a bit of an incomplete offer if I only provided for half the crowd.

[bossyboiler]

What about dessert? I can bring cupcakes.

un: max

[carmesi]

"I'll edit later."

[can you hear the exasperation in her voice??]

un: max

[carmesi]

We didn't even think of that. Cupcakes sound great.
Autumn-themed?

un: cupkate

[bossyboiler]

I can do an Autumn theme like carrot cake cupcakes.

[ Sans raisins though, people who use those in baking are WRONG! ]

Or did you have something else in mind?

[carmesi]

I am not one for baking, so I leave any and all ideas to you.
Will you need any help with the ingredients?

[bossyboiler]

I'll try not to overdo it.

[ TRY IS THE KEYWORD! There is not guarantee that she won't. ]

No. I think I'll be okay. I already have most of the basic ingredients.

[forethinking]

(Insert a picture of him doing a heart with his hands.)

Oops?

[carmesi]

Does that usually work?

[the heart hands, she means. genuinely curious.]

[carmesi]

[who would complain about free cupcakes anyway? wanda will have strong words with whoever does.]

I suppose it's just a matter of making the right amount. Will you need help, otherwise?

[forethinking]

Four out of ten.

[carmesi]

Ren, those are terrible odds.

[forethinking]

Terrible odds are better than no odds.

[bossyboiler]

I don't think so. If I do, I'll enlist my roommates for help.

[ Her roommates? Bucky Barnes and Yelena Belova. ]

[forethinking]

What are you thinking to bring?

(Maybe he can keep her company when she goes shopping?)

[forethinking]

Like Wanda said, we absolutely did not consider this.

Cupcakes would be nice.

un: jelica

[musicdied]

Do you want people to chip in some money for ingredients, or are you going to put a list up of what you need, and have people sign up to bring things?

un: max

[carmesi]

I suppose we could do either option. What would be easiest for you?

[carmesi]

And I willingly agreed on this with you.

[but it's okay, because ren is very much like this.]

Let's finalize the menu tonight.

[carmesi]

[oh dear, if only wanda knew — good luck, kate.]

They're into baking?

[forethinking]

I'm thinking burgers, by the way.

(And something Japanese, because the boy is who he is.)

@ren

[forethinking]

I can work on that and mass text. Do you have suggestions?

[aelwyn_aberration]

A selection. I've already got a storage of alcohol in my apartment but I can stand to get some more variety for a party. And then with the non alcoholic drink, people generally just get a whole lot of soda for these things right? [It can be pretty easily inferred that your girl has never been to a barbecue.]
