"I didn't pick it up."

March march march.

"If you didn't pick it up, how is it yours?" asks the kid suspiciously.

"Saw it and no one else wants it, far as I know."

"Oh, well, if no one else wants it it's probably just lying on the ground someplace but maybe a different place if it was in the way. If somebody else did want it and has it what are you gonna do though?"

"Wait till they're done with it, prolly."

"Oh, okay. That's a good way to share." This kid is orange and her bright carroty ringlets bob when she nods.

"Oh. Your hair is very good."

"Thank you!"

Fika is happy about marching with their new friend to the bakery, chattering as they go.

Eventually they locate the correct address. "Here! Is this what you were looking for?"

"Yeah! I'ma say thank you and make cookies."

"How are you gonna make cookies? This is where you buy cookies."

"I thought this was where they make them?"

"It's where they make them, not where you make them."

"So far, I'ma change that today. Want to make cookies there with me?"

"...gosh, okay, if they'll let me."

Yay, friend help!

Fika enters the bakery of yummy foods.

"Hi! I'm Fika, I really liked your cookies!"

"This is my friend. I don't know their name or if they liked your cookies."

"I'm Taysha and I don't actually know where the cookies I'm used to come from but it smells great in here!" she says earnestly.

"Oh hey," says the purple behind the counter, "it's the Chaos Dayworker. And... huh, the internet was not aware you'd sometimes bring a friend."

"Well, I haven't before!"

"Are you two here to do some chaos daywork or are you just here to say you like cookies?"

"I like the cookies so much I wanna help make them, yes."

"Alrighty, come on back and let's get you scrubbed and ready to help, then."

They have a plan for chaos daywork here!

Yay! Cookies time. Fika is very careful to scrub her hands and her feet.

They still don't want feet in the cookies! Here are hairnets, and here are the ingredients, and here's where to mix them.

What if the feet wear gloves?
