WHO: caroline forbes & you!
WHERE: the safehouse
WHEN: october 10
WHAT: an impromptu birthday celebration.
NOTES OR WARNINGS: excessive cheeriness.

[ by mid-day, a new message appears on the network from a new user, @caroline.forbes: ]

It's my birthday, apparently, so I made cake. Please don't make me eat all of it!

[ it's a fairly short message, but it's at least accompanied by a few photos of a cake, surprisingly delicious looking for being made of everything but chocolate.

those in the safehouse will have likely heard caroline baking up a storm all morning, and may be aware that the photos show her fourth attempt at this extremely finicky futuristic cake. by the time she posts her photos, all the evidence has been scrubbed clean from the countertops (and dishes and floor and tabletops and trash cans) of the safehouse kitchen. ]

[ a smile that looks almost uncomfortable, like she's not quite sure how smiling works, and then it's time for cake. she nabs a fork (look, she's not too proud to eat with her hands but she is in polite company), takes a stab, raises it to her mouth and takes that first bite - ]

... Holy shit.

[ spoken with a full mouth, but that's not the grossest thing Caroline's seen her do with food in their brief time here so far, so whatever. a hand goes to her mouth as she chews, trying to keep herself from further expression until she's swallowed.

no luck. ]

That. [ pointing at it with said fork ] Is delicious. [ swallow. ] What did you do?

[ achievement unlocked, laura moon. you've made caroline forbes blush, flattery softening her features as her gaze drops down to the serving knife still in her hands.

speaking of, maybe she should put that down. ]

I just followed the recipe. [ like, four times. ] I added a little extra vanilla extract, just to make it a little sweeter? But I really just followed the recipe, honestly, I didn't make it up or anything.
