[network] @Ecks; Sweet Justice [open] [video/text] Evening 153, after Clint and Nat's video

[ecks]

[The video opens on a shot of a pie tin with about a quarter of an apple pie left in it. If it looks like someone's been eating it with her bare hands, it's because that's exactly what Ecks has been up to. The pie has been set on a table, a flickering red candle beside it that moments ago she was using to heat the bottom of the tin and thaw the pie back out enough to eat.

A young woman's voice, flat and devoid of emotion, starts to explain.]

I found this --

[Wait! Oh, no. No, no. Ecks hurriedly switches the settings to text; there's a delay as she writes up her message.]

I found a pie with fruit in a house yesterday morning. It was still warm then. I think I made a ghost happy. I have been eating it since yesterday and I have not died so that means it is good.

How did you make the ghost happy?

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

I put the fake clowns back together.

[devoutish]

Did any of them say anything to you?

[ecks]

They are fake clowns. Fake things do not talk.

[devoutish]

The ghosts, Ecks.

[ecks]

The ghost left this pie. That was all.

So that's what you sound like :)
Yo, Ecks! Where did you find the pie? It looks pretty good.

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

That is what I sound like.

[No smiley face, though.]

I found the pie in the house of clown swhen I woke up

[swatsflies]

You have a nice voice!

Oh cool! We found chocolate cake in there. It was really good.
What did you do to get it?

[ecks]

You think that it is nice?

I put the ruined fake clowsn back together
what did you do?

[swatsflies]

It is! Has no one told you that before?

We were doing a search while on a date when we found it.

[ecks]

No one has told me that before.

if you got cake and I got pie, it is a good house.
This house should be int he guide.

[devoutish]

How did that work? Did you announce that you were on a date?

[He still doesn't know how he feels about Ecks, but this is interesting enough to pull him into a reply.]

Who do you think made the pie?

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

a ghost
or the same things that make the warm breads downtown

[advanced]

Ghosts are incorporeal, they can't bake.

[Also they're not real.]

[ecks]

Most ghosts are incorporeal most of the time. Maybe some ghosts acn bake

[advanced]

A ghost did not bake that. Don't be naive.

[Point blank.]

[Voice]

[equal_shots]

[Stein is dead, and Kid is a nervous wreck and he's lost and nothing--absolutely nothing--is in order, and he's overwhelmed. So texting his reply is too much, and Ecks started with the video function so he feels as though it's safe to reply with voice.]

You made a ghost happy. [It's a sentiment that confuses Kid, as ghosts are not particularly high-functioning beings where Kid is from.] I presume the ghost left you the pie?

[text]

[ecks]

that is my theory

[Sorry, Kid, Ecks is back to text now that she's finished being all overexcited about sharing the info on her pie.]

I put the torn up fake clowns together and there was a pie in the morning

@determination, voice

[despiteeverything]

Aw, that was really nice of the ghost to say thank you like that!

[Hello from the first person who apparently doesn't think this whole scenario is weird. Hey, Napstablook tried to give them a sandwich before! It just didn't work because ghost food.]

Also, your voice is really nice!

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

[Finally, someone who gets that a gift from a ghost is totally a real thing that can happen. Also, a second person saying her voice is nice, what is this.]

it was a good pie
Zell also said my voice is nice

[And it was weird.]

[despiteeverything]

That's because it is!

[They'll brook no argument on the niceness of Ecks' voice.]

What kind of fruit was it in the pie? What's your favorite kind of pie?

[Believe it or not for Frisk this is actually Serious Discussion Topics.]

[ecks]

[Ecks is totally on board with this pie conversation...but not going to talk about her voice anymore if she doesn't have to.]

the pie was filled with apples.
I like apples pie, but usually pies are meat
I like chicken pies.

do you like pies?

[despiteeverything]

Yeah! I haven't had a lot of meat pies, but I've heard of 'em. My favorite pie is Mom's Butterscotch 'n Cinnamon Pie.

[Ahhh good old ButtsPie.]
