They don't have any feetgloves, and a glove that doesn't fit well will fall off!

Permalink

They should get feet gloves. In the meantime, Fika will use her feet to hang from or cling to various more positions from which she can mix cookie dough. 

Permalink

That's fine as long as she has the hairnet on and makes sure things she hangs from are structurally sound. If they want to stay all day they can help make cookies, banana bread, honey bars, chocolate cake, olive cheese rolls, crumpets, and a batch of overnight sourdough.

(Fika's friend leaves after about an hour of baking.)

Would Fika's friend like a finished cookie before she goes?

Permalink

Yes she certainly would.

Permalink

Cookies for the helpful friend! And for the helpful Fika. And any of the big Amentans who eat cookies.

Permalink

They would like to... sell... most of them... but yeah they can eat some, they honestly do that some even when there aren't any wheedling tiny people about.

Permalink

Fika is happy to help bake way more cookies then she eats! That way they can pay her like her friend said she should ask about, so she can get more clothes. And maybe her own bubbles too.

They aren't going to bring up paying her of their own accord.

"One of my friends told me I should ask 'bout money so I can get clothes and things?"

Permalink

"- oh, huh, the internet didn't mention that. I can give you a little, okay, but in the future you should make it clear you want to be paid before you start working someplace, so they can tell you if that won't work out for them and you should find another place for the day. Okay?"

Permalink

"Oh, it's okay if you don't pay me if you don't want to."

Permalink

"...well, I do want you to have clothes and things. So I'm going to pay you some. But usually the way work works is that you work for money, and the work doesn't happen if there's no money and the money doesn't happen if there's no work."

Permalink

"Oh. But then I might not get to help bake cookies."

Permalink

"When the city's bigger and there are more bakeries and more of everything else you want to try you can see which ones will pay you the most!"

Permalink

"And also which ones have the tastiest cookies for me to help with!"

Permalink

"Sure, that too." She will count out some cash for Fika - cash is very much dwindling, but it's not all gone yet, and a city on a new planet is a major use case. "There you go, dear."

Permalink

"Thank you!"

Okay, now to acquire clothes. 

"Hey, if I give it back to you can I have clothes?"

Permalink

"- I don't have any clothes your size right now? Usually you would go to a store that sells clothes."

Permalink

"Oh, I guess your clothes would be pretty big."

Amentans have so many steps to getting dressed.

"I'ma find one with my friend, you were good at cookie making!"

Permalink

"Glad you had fun!"

Permalink

Fika goes to visit her grey friend for the evening, bringing a couple of cookies with her.

Permalink

Grey friend is in the middle of dinner already when she shows up. "Hey Fika! I'm still Kota! Do you want pizza?"

Permalink

"Oh, thank you for reminding me of your name!"

"What's pizza?"

Permalink

"Pizza is bread and sauce and cheese! This one has pickled eggs and corn."
