Hey... so, I totally missed my one-year mark. Pretty sure that was right in the middle of the Infected shit storm-- that couldn't be related, could it? But, anyway, I'm hoping someone just forgot to come by and give me my special badge or whatever you get for this illustrious milestone? I forgive you for being late, since I completely forgot, and you can come by with that prize anytime. Unless it's just for the five-year guys, and if that's the case, then... booooo.

[ Ellie pulls a face, offering a helpful thumbs-down for the camera. ]

Anyway! "What I Learned on My Wonderland Vacation"... I'm way less likely to drown now! Thanks, Jo. [ ... ] Uh, I know way too much about a lot of your personal lives, which is... gross, sometimes. There are kids here, people. [ Some of you are just nasty. ] I figured out exactly how much molten chocolate cake I can down before I get sick. That's three, and I'd say they're all big accomplishments. ... Except that middle one.

[ There are a bunch of other things, too, but her attention is already wandering and she yawns to prove it. ]

Does anyone have a Mirror who isn't extremely creepy? Inquiring minds want to know.

You can just get them out of the closets. [ She shrugs. ] So... I mean, anyone can try it. You should.

[ Why? Because he's had a rough time lately. And cake makes everything better. Right? Right. ]

C'mon. We'll make a contest out of it.

[voiceinthedark]

...alright. Sounds like it could be fun.

[He needs a little fun right now.]

We'll have to make a list of cakes. I've always wanted to try a rainbow cake.

[backpacking]

Is that just... uh, a rainbow cake? I mean, a cake with a rainbow... design?

[ she's trying ]

I'm up for any cake. Not too rich, though, 'cause those are so much more likely to make you throw up, and I'm not up for that again.

[voiceinthedark]

It's a cake where the actual cake is rainbow coloured. I've seen them before and they look amazing.

I can understand that. I'll figure out a few we could try though.

[backpacking]

Oh. So it doesn't taste any different? It's just like... vanilla, but rainbow.

[ Not as magical as she'd been imagining. ]

Then I'm in. Just gimme the time and place!

[voiceinthedark]

I bet you could make it taste different if you wanted. Throw a load of flavouring in and see what happens.

We could end up with... raspberry-blueberry-chocolate-vanilla cake.

The dining room?

[backpacking]

But what if they all don't go together? You mix all the colors, you get brown, you know?

[ She snorts, grinning. ]

Sounds good. Uh-- Now?

[voiceinthedark]

Plenty of fruit goes with chocolate. Trust me on that. I think if you stick to cakey flavours, you're probably fine.

Yep! I'll head up.

[backpacking]

I'm good with cakey flavors. [ Yum. ]

See you soon, Sam.

[voiceinthedark]

Yeah. See you Ellie. And then the cakening shall begin!
