Happy Birthday, LaughingOtter (45)!
*blinks* birthday! oooh, happy! *grabs [Elm Bucket of Cooking] and runs off*
*returns with bucket overflowing with headless stalks of rye, gritty sugar cane, cracked drippy eggs, runny butter, maple sap, shriveled blueberries, strawberries with leaves attached, and blackberries still on the thorny vine*
*dumps the contents of the bucket onto LaughingOtter's table and uses her mithril fitting mallet to pound the ingredients into a lumpy mass, splintering the table in the process*
*tells LaughingOtter he should see about getting sturdier furniture, and uses marble clay scoop to get the mixture up from the floor into a geostone cooking roaster*
*shoves the roaster into LaughingOtter's oven and runs off again*
*returns with a Tarbash's marble cargo disk full of thornwood logs*
*arranges the logs under, all around and on top of LaughingOtter's oven (to ensure even heat distribution)*
*casts burning fiery strike to get the baking fire going and heads to the beach to wash the cooking muck off her armor, oblivious to the bonfire that rises up to consume LaughingOtter's house*
*pets the friendly bass that swim up to nibble at the muck rinsings*
*finishes washing up, wades out of the water and begins sculpting in the sand*
*creates a perfect sand image of a large box with a tag that says "happy birthday LaughingOtter!"
*decides the cake must be done now, and heads to the smouldering pile of embers and ashes that is LaughingOtter's house*
*uses steel salvage awl to find LaughingOtter's oven, open it, and drag the cooking roaster out of the baking zone to a flat spot where it can cool*
*pulls out sandstone mortar & pestle and blends together chocolate, sugar and butter*
*spreads the blend across the cake*
*arranges a crown of blackberries on the vine around the top of the cake, with strawberries and blueberries sprinkled within the circle*
*places several small fireworks around the edges and an astounding firework in the center*
*lights the fireworks and hands the cake to LaughingOtter*
may your birthday be shining bright and beautiful!
