Oops.

Post in as yourself in Milliways (in costume since it's the day before Halloween), meet your pups, meet other pups, try out new pups, revisit old pups, start your own topic threads, whatever.

"Sugar requirements for ja--okay," Cass says, shaking that off. "Press regulation sounds worrying. Earth-sized lava world sounds interesting. Thanks for the rundown. I appreciate when you bring these sorts of things up."

"Somewhat worrying." Beat. "A certain amount of sugar is necessary in jam to maintain a desirable consistency and sheen. A Lib Dem MP has said that the ten percent reduction will lead to lower quality jam."

Beat.

"It probably won't."

Beat.

"Delicious turnovers."

[break_the_haughty]

"Well," Cass says smoothly, "once it's no longer jam-packed with sugar, people can do their own quality control tests. I suspect his argument will be toast."

... and then she edits because that was terrible. Brain, where did you go.

Eric snickers childishly, then swiftly returns to looking sombre.

"If we're lucky, the lava planet will be occupied by happy lava people."

[break_the_haughty]

"Well, here's their chance," she says, staring at him very seriously indeed. "They can lower the glucose content of the jellies, vacuum seal them, and then ship them off to the lava planet with a sign: 'Welcome to the Space Jam'."

The narration hopes he's seen the movie, but doesn't think he has, if memory serves.

[alas_a_llama]

The narration has indeed never seen the film, but he gathers it's about a basketball player and some cartoons and also space.

"Maybe the lava people will have their own jam. Delicious lava jam, made with lava fruits."

[break_the_haughty]

And jam.

"Hm, I don't know about that," Cass says, kicking her feet from her perch on the table. "That'd be jammy, but it might just be jam on your egg."

[alas_a_llama]

"- I don't think I've ever heard the phrase 'jam on your egg' before."

[break_the_haughty]

"Really! Wishful thinking."

[alas_a_llama]

Sorrowfully: "I don't know why someone would want jam on their egg. Jam does not go with eggs. It - it is for baked goods. And trifle."

[break_the_haughty]

"Not even lava jam?" she asks gently. "It could keep the eggs fresh, you know, being preserves."

[alas_a_llama]

"Especially not lava jam," the alarmed labrador look has returned, "it - it would be ill-suited for egg use. Ill-suited."

[break_the_haughty]

Cass prevents herself from snickering by dint of sheer willpower, but does smile before the pokerface snaps into place. "So what do you think lava jam is good for?"

[alas_a_llama]

Thoughtfully: "Maybe some kind of lava and igneous rock trifle."

[break_the_haughty]

Cass nods, tapping her chin. "I can get behind that kind of sediment."
