[Jenna is smiling but it is fairly clear that she feels a touch awkward using this thing's video function. It was nice that someone had explained it to her, but she still didn't get how it worked. As long as it got the job done, though...]

Hi, everyone! My name is Jenna. A lot of you probably don't know me, since I only arrived here earlier this month.

This is probably really bad timing with everything that's going on, but I wanted to ask for some help. I don't know how the months from my world carry over here, but based on the seasons, I think my friend's birthday is in a month or two, and I wanted to do something nice for her. I'm a terrible cook, though, [A twinge of annoyance is fairly clear to see on her face,] so I was wondering if it might be possible for someone to give me some quick cooking lessons so I can actually make something for her on her birthday.

I'm not asking you to do this for free! We can work something out if you want payment of some kind. I'm a warrior, so I can provide protection if you're a good cook but you're not one of the people with powers here. I'm also pretty good at hunting, so I can get you some actual food instead of that nutrition bar crap. And we used to make our own clothes where I came from, so I can sew too! That kind of thing. There's more I can do too, if none of that sounds good to you.

[She smiles brightly into the camera.] Thanks a lot in advance!

[Rick would like to do the same--he's happy that he's made someone else happy--but trying to communicate over video would probably have the opposite effect than it does with Jenna. He's cripplingly camera-shy.]

I...think so? If not, hopefully next month's menu will have something with fruits in it. You can usually get whatever ingredients are used to make the cafeteria food without any trouble...I've done it before, I mean.
bashfulshifter: (Lovely!)

That sounds like a good plan! Just let me know if you need me to show you how to prepare the different parts or something.

I'm always happy to help! We'll keep in touch...?
