Sydney's training is starting to pick up. I skip over a lot of it, especially the classroom stuff where she's learning the law end of being a superhero. But with her recent improvements to her aim, they want to see what happens when they cut her lose with a loaded gun in a maze full of targets.
Don't worry, Doc Chevy is on base today. There are a few standing bets as to whether her skills will be needed.
Originally, I had actually planned for Sydney to actually do the cake or death gag in on the course. By "originally," I mean there's a draft of this page in my notes that's probably six years old. She winds up getting yelled at after getting icing in her gun, but I guess both Sydney and myself have matured very slightly since then.
Cake or death, for those of you unfamiliar.
But the fact that she showed up with a sack of cupcakes mean she was still planning on goofing around, but she's starting to get the idea that these military guys are actually pretty serious about weapon handling. Character growth!

The cake girl in the red dress looks eerily familiar…

We'll turn that around when he's Mayor of London.

Too many people have allowed Eddie Izzard to fall from the public consciousness

I've seen some month old cupcakes, and they become hard enough they're partly weaponized already.

There haven't really been any time jumps at all recently, just beyond ending one scene and moving to another. It's still only been a few days since Sydney got back from space. Honestly I might have lost track a bit. Maybe a week since she got back. I probably need to advance things here in the near future.

Thank you for flying Church of England. Cake or Death?

You can't put muffins in a sack and not expect a mess. The glazing would get over *everything*. Muffins, maybe, but not cupcakes. I BAKE MUFFINS AND THIS OFFENDS ME!!!! XD
Mike
The fact that they're in a sack kills me XD

Hmm. I am assuming more months have passed. How far are you in the timeline, DaveB?
Reigys

We're all out of cake, so you'll have to have death! Or .. hmm, maybe this explosive scone?

Cake or Death is TIMELESS!

Give me gluten or give me death. Really. Those gluten-free ones are like sand.

...and when Dabbler finds out about "cake or death" and realizes "Why not both?", we get the entirely new field of weaponized baked goods. sprinkles = *shudder*

how old is Sydney?

I don't understand why they would even ask; a sack of cupcakes seems pretty okay by me.
