[Today is nothing special, except that it marks the return of Dorothy to the plane, but more importantly, it marks the return of her baking. This time she's got a table resplendent with several enormous pans of warm, rich, chocolate brownies, a stack of papers-- and a sign! It reads "FREE BROWNIES!". Apparently she has some sort of idea going on here.

I wonder what that idea is! If you want a brownie, you better go ask her!]

[Pops up!] Brownies! You always bring something brilliant with you.

[as lights are to moths, food is to Time Lords]

There better not be any drugs in those, Princess.

[Chris is attracted by free food like all others.] Free for anyone?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[arches an eyebrow at the sign and the papers]

Some kind of extortion racket?

[It's been a while since Arthur has seen baked goods.] What are those, exactly?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[Oh, it's that one! She grins.]

Well, I have to! Nobody'd talk to me otherwise. Would you like a brownie?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

I'm a good girl, sir. I promise, nothing in these but delicious chocolaty goodness. Would you like one?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No catch?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Of course! Free brownie, if you fill out an anonymous questionnaire at your own convenience.

[Griiiin. And boy she has a pretty smile, don't she?]

[You know what? Ray can't turn down free anything. Ever. So here is Ray, arm still in a sling] No catch?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't be a Negative Nellie. Fill out a questionnaire, get a free brownie. I don't think that's all that cruel to ask for.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, it's Not Bill Nye, the Science Guy!] Well, hello again!

Haven't you ever had a brownie before? Here, try one. [She cuts one out of the pan, placing it on a plate and offering it to Arthur. It appears to be full of gooey chocolate deliciousness.]

[brokenamethysts.livejournal.com]

[staaaaaaaaaaaring. with epic want. and drooooooling.]

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

No catch. Just take a questionnaire along with it-- you don't even have to fill it out if you don't want to. Just a few anonymous questions-- I'm trying to get a consensus on some things.

[She puts a brownie on the plate for Ray, and oh boy do they look gooey and delicious-- hey, is that caramel? Melty, delicious caramel?]

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[Still looking skeptical]

Sounds like extortion to me. What's on this questionnaire?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Would you like a brownie?

[Not that the drooling isn't a complete giveaway, but you know.]

[gotitwrong]

Ain't so anonymous if you know how we're answerin', don't'cha think? [He can TOTALLY resist if he needs to, man.]

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

No catch, just take a questionnaire too. Don't even have to fill it out if you don't want to; I'm just trying to get a consensus on some stuff around here.

[And she puts a brownie on a plate for him and oh god they look so good. So, so good.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Bribery, then! What's the questionnaire?

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Read it yourself!

[She hands him a piece of paper from the stack-- the questions are along the lines of "1. Do you believe in magic? Yes or No
2. If no, why not? ______________________
3. As a child, did you ever believe in a. Santa Claus b. The Tooth Fairy c. Other ?

and so on, and so on.]

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen them before, no.

[He takes the offered plate, looking at it for a moment before taking a bite. It's sweeter than he's used to, but by no means bad. His expression is one of enjoyment]

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't! That's the point. There's no spot for your name. Just put it back on the table face-down when you're done. When I go back over them, I won't know which paper's from who.

[gotitwrong]

Uh-huh. Lemme take a look at it, then I'll tell you if I'll do it or not.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[As he's reading through it he starts grinning, and takes a rather expensive looking black pen out of his suit jacket.]

All right, I'm game.

[brokenamethysts.livejournal.com]

B-but I don't even know you.
