Once it's out of the oven it needs to cool down for a while and then be frosted, but eventually, yes. Of course, only Pen will actually eat cake, although Gloria can sneak tastes of frosting if she's sure to let it dissolve very thoroughly before swallowing.

Pen will help frost it! Untidily, but who's counting.

Permalink

Meh, it's for eating, not for taking pictures of and putting in a magazine.

Permalink

And it is delicious for eating.

Permalink

Not all at once. Gloria's not that irresponsible.

Permalink

Pen only wants two slices.

Permalink

Two slices is probably fine. Gloria won't object. And then she gets started on making something that isn't dessert.

Permalink

That's all right too.

Permalink

Chicken parm. Parmesan chicken is what she will make.

Permalink

No complaints here.

Permalink

She will probably make some mistakes--it's been a while since she did something like this--but it will turn out edible.

Permalink

And so it is et. "Thank you."

Permalink

"You're welcome."

Pen is in the mood for another book, and has some left. She goes and reads one.

It is after a few days spent more-or-less like this that Gloria gets a text message.
"Hey, kiddo, door lady found the bar again."
Permalink

"Ooh!"

Permalink

"You remember the way there or do I need to pull up a map?"

Permalink

"Think remembering. Probably. ...By flying. Okay flying?"

Permalink

"It's dark out, flying's fine. If it weren't it would be my job to remember the way."

Permalink
"Okay."

So they go out and Pen picks up Gloria and manages to find the house.
Permalink
The Milliways door is inside the house, and no one else is home, so the owner can't come to the door, but luckily it's unlocked. Passing through the house reveals that it is not very tidy, but also not unsanitary.
And then there is Milliways.
Permalink

"Yay! Holding door please?" Pen asks the collective of house-person-and-Gloria. "Real quick." She steps into Milliways.

Permalink

Presently, another door spontaneously generates to the side of the one the lady is holding for Pen, and a person steps through it, and the extra door vanishes. This person's entire bearing-and-then-some screams I AM SO SUPER MAGIC. "Hi, Pen. You got lost, huh? Who are these people?"

Permalink
"I am a random bystander who is leaving now," house lady says quickly.
"Hi, I'm Gloria Scott," Gloria says, stepping into the bar and letting the door close behind her. "I have a reputation for dealing with weird situations, so when someone saw a little girl wandering around who wasn't any known type of supernatural being, they brought her to me. I've been looking after her for the past few days."

"Made cake!" vouches Pen.
