Cake for everyone! [open, backdated to the 6th]

[myblueskies]

Characters: Romeo and everyone!
Setting: Kitchens and then all the floors! Backdated to the 6th
Format: Choose and I'll follow
Summary: Romeo has been counting since the new year and he thinks that today is finally Christmas (Epiphany). So he made cake! And is sharing it. Feel free to jump in the baking part or afterwards.
Warnings: None that I can forsee.

Christmas was six days after the year changed, or was it five? Or seven? Dates were really not Romeo's strong point but he thought it was six so he counted carefully and on the sixth day decided that since it was Christmas in Italy he should do something nice for his friends!

So he went down to the kitchen and got out all the things he needed, luckily there were ingredients to make plain cake. Though Romeo was much better at baking than he had been he still made a lot of mess and so it was a flour covered Romeo with a big grin and a plate piled dangerously high with cakes who finally exited a few hours later.

He started on the bottom floor, looking around for his friends, those he knew, those who looked new, or sad, or lonely. Or were just there because it was Christmas and everyone deserved cake at Christmas.

"Happy Christmas! Do you want a cake?"

Mister Russia was here too but he's gone so I'm the last one left... [He is silent a moment looking sad but then he punches the air to keep his spirits up, thinking of all his friends who are gone makes him sad.]

You just got to keep your spirits up sir and it will be alright!

[vermicompost]

Mister Russia? [That's another person with a country's name. That's odd.] I'm sorry he's gone. People come and go a lot here, don't they? But I'm sure your friends wouldn't want you to be sad. [He smiles when Romeo punches the air.] And you can make new friends.

I'll do my best, I promise.

[myblueskies]

They do... But they would want me to be happy and keep my spirits up! And I can remember them and fulfill their dreams for them!

[vermicompost]

You're right. That sounds like the best idea. I know they'd want you to remember them and be glad. I've lost a friend here too, so I know how you feel.

What dreams of theirs are you going to fulfill?

[myblueskies]

All the ones I know! Molly wanted to keep everyone safe and make them happy so I do that. Ienzo wanted to learn lots about the tower so I do that too though Ienzo is here again now but he is an adult and doesn't remember me but he's probably a different Ienzo. And Sonata wanted to sing lots and... [He will go on forever if you let him.]

[Romeo is willing to go on, and Kariya is willing to listen to him. He does so patiently as Romeo lists these goals.]

Your friends had good goals. I'm sure they'd be proud of you for trying to accomplish them.

Another version of your friend came here? I've had that happen to me, too, meeting different versions of the same person. It's strange, isn't it?

[myblueskies]

It's very strange, one of my friends came here lots and lots of times and never remembers me.
