Annamae picked up a slice of the bread, covered in decorative cake sprinklings, then took a bite.  She slowly chewed as she crunched the topping, trying to ascertain if the combination of bread, butter and the sweet sprinkles actually worked together…

 

Iko: Whaddya think?

 

Annamae: It’s like… ::chewing:: … there’s a boring engineering conference in my mouth, but there’s also a mariachi band playing to make it not so dull.

 

Bec gave Annamae one of her unimpressed deadpan expressions.  oO Mission accomplished. Oo

 

Iko: In Fed Standard please?

 

Barberra: You know, mariachi band.  Mexican hat dance? ::singing:: Der-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-nerrrrrr… ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ne-nerrr…. ::clicks fingers next to left side of face::

 

Iko: It’s called fairy bread. One of the few good things I got from growing up on Earth.

Barberra: No, it’s called “Mexican music”. 

 

Annamae lowered her fingers, before rerunning through her head what Bec was saying.

 

Barberra: Oh, you mean the bread.  Wait, “fairy” bread?

 

She looked down at her Alice in wonderland costume pyjamas, before patting them with her hands.

 

Barberra: Looks like I wore the wrong pyjamas.  ::turning to replicator:: COMPUTER!  PLAIN BLACK FAIRY WAND, NO GLITTER!  NOW!  ::turning back to Bec as computer chirped confirmation tone:: Seems like you had an interesting childhood.

 

As the replicator went to work, Annamae listened intently to Bec.

 

Iko: Well, there's also the fact that I grew up on a continent where the wildlife definitely has the capacity to kill you. But other than that? Honestly, not many other highlights.

 

Barberra: Oh, yeah, I know how that feels.  I didn’t get out of my hometown much.  It was so boring even the local transporters were boring, so we all just hung out and talked about how bored we were.

 

Iko: Response

 

Barberra: The only thing that could kill us was boredom.  That, and the mountain lions… the grey wolves… coyotes…

 

Iko: Response

 

Annamae turned around and grabbed her black fairy wand, before lightly tapping Bec on the top of her head with it.

 

Barberra: Then I turn you into a sehlat.

 

Iko: Response

 

Barberra: Oh.  Then, ::tapping Bec on left shoulder:: I dub thee, ::then on right shoulder:: Sir Iko, ::then top of head:: of Earth, slayer of dragons, keeper of the sacred gummy bears.

 

Iko: Response

 

Barberra: ::Picking up slice of fairy bread, then taking a bite:: So… ::chewing::… what are we going to do now, Sir Bec?  ::Chewing more::

 

Iko: Response
