We'll both stick our faces in it

We'll both stick our faces in it. [haha wow did they have to say that so brazenly loud? Okay. Cool. They're being so normal about this.]

pivots to comedy ??

... That's gross, Kris. Fahahaha. [That feels a little more like them. For a moment, she feels a little more like herself, too.

Deep breath, in and out. Laugh it off. This is nothing a Holiday can't handle.]

Okay! You know what? Yeah! Let's make a pie! [There are zero hands with opposable thumbs between them, but they'll figure it out. After rifling around for a while, she finds a pie tin and several ingredients. Noelle begins to assemble the crust, doing her best to instruct Kris to act as her assistant.

(It's nice ordering them around for a change. (Don't think that.))]

Can you get some salt?

[In this moment, she has forgotten Kris is blind. Either by accident or intentionally, Kris may grab another ingredient instead of salt, such as: sugar, glitter left over from SINTO, a decorative bottle of sand, or a bottle with a skull and crossbones on it.]

surely ONE of these threads can stop being depressing

[She laughs, and... they don't quite smile back, but some of the tension ebbs out of their body. This is... fine. They're doing fine. They didn't screw anything up.

... honestly, would it matter even if they did? She'd probably just blame it anyway.

They shove the thought aside—stop thinking about it, they've got a pie to make.

Noelle takes the lead, so Kris starts collecting ingredients. They're worried for a moment that the Soul will to start fucking around, but it seems to be following her instructions pretty seriously... the lack of control is a little more palatable when someone else is bossing them around. That, and it legitimately makes this easier, considering they can't see a damn thing.

They can still smell and taste just fine, though, so it's not like they're totally clueless. They scrunch their nose at the bad-smelling bottle, skipping it and going straight for the odourless one that jingles like salt when they pick it up. This baking shit is easy.

They offer Noelle a bottle of glitter.]

[Baking without hands-- this is like the Dark Spirits of baking, Noelle thinks. At least she has help from Kris!

So she thinks, until she realizes she's pouring a bottle of glitter into the dough.]

KRIS! That was glitter!!!

[She's annoyed for a few seconds, trying to scoop it out of the pie dough with her hooves... but soon, she laughs at how ridiculous it is.] What was that even doing in the kitchen? Did you bring that just for a prank?
