Flight Rising Discussion

I really enjoyed today's story, the mystery continues! Johona's behaviour made me suspicious, I'm glad Ming noticed as well. She's not good at hiding these things and probably knows, which is why she wanted to get away. Or she knew Yanaha would be there.

The introduction of Yanaha was quite the twist. I love her trickster personality and how she knows what's going on, but won't tell. I suspect she might not be the only one... I have some theories, but I can't wait to read how the story continues.

@jinian

Story pings please! Also I really want some red bean sesame balls now, but my pancakes will have to suffice. :>

@jinian, I fell behind on this ADORABLE READING, could I get a ping with everyone pleeeeeaaaase? :D <3

Despite knowing something peculiar was going on in the bakery, he was much less ruffled about it, and having that lovely load of fresh fruit to play with helped a lot. He wasn't as relaxed as he preferred, but he actually enjoyed baking again this morning, and it was an excellent feeling.[/columns] [columns][color=#775849][size=4]When Ming emerged from the kitchen in the late morning, Nuru and Desta were in the cafe along with a few customers. [i]Well, I know better than to ask Nuru anything else. She could think anything, and I'd have no way to tell.[/i] "Hey, Desta? Can you come into the kitchen to try this for me?" Desta bounded over energetically. "Sure, Ming!" "Great, thanks! I haven't made it since last year, and I wanted a second opinion." He really did; these berries weren't the same variety he'd used in the recipe before. Ming liked them, but Desta preferred sweeter pastries, and calibration was important.[nextcol][color=transparent]__[/color][nextcol][img]https://i.imgur.com/jQ5DCTi.png[/img] [/columns] [columns][color=#775849][size=4]Ming plated a pudding for Desta, including a small cup of custard, and offered the plate and a fork. Desta carefully tried a bite without custard, then added the custard and tasted another bite. Then they poured on the entire rest of the custard and finished the plate so quickly their fork was almost a blur. It would have been impressive even without a mask in the way. "Thank you! Wow, it's refreshing. Very summery. I think that's enough sugar! Even without the custard, it's good." Desta handed the plate back to Ming. "Good to hear, thanks, Desta. One more question?" "Okay!" "Have you noticed anything happening in the kitchen after hours?" Desta froze for a moment, then their hind leg thumped lightly. "I, er, no?" "Really? Because it seems like maybe you have." "Nope! I definitely don't know anything about anybody being in here at night. No secret baking going on at all." They definitely knew something. Maybe Ming could find out more by investigating Desta. He'd certainly discovered something interesting about Johona yesterday.[/columns] [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/39Jjvmo.png[/img] [nextcol][color=transparent]__[/color][nextcol][color=#775849][size=4]"All right, let's get back to work, then," Ming said. Desta bounced out of the kitchen, pausing in the doorway for just a moment before returning to waiting tables. Ming followed them out and saw his smiling customer at the counter. "Oh! Hello again, Archivist..." Ming was mortified to have forgotten the customer's name, but the archivist's wry look told him he was forgiven. "Prakash, Baker Ming. I'm glad to see you, as I have a favor to ask."[/columns] [center] [img]https://imgur.com/XLuYPiZ.png[/img] [size=4][color=#775849][b]Today's recipe: [url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/glorious-summer-gooseberry-recipes-a7704106.html]Gooseberry Pudding[/url][/b][/size] [color=#afb87d][i](sweet-tart)[/i][/color] [img]https://imgur.com/XLuYPiZ.png[/img] [color=#d58586][i]This story will update daily.

This story is on a roll, haha. I love logging in and seeing the updates!

I am enjoying this story so much. :D

@Lichtdrache, your illustrations are so lovely and cute, they really add to the story! ^-^ Actually, all your artwork for Brightshine is gorgeous - the badges and signatures stole my heart. <3

@Lundlaeva
Thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate it a lot! I enjoyed making the art for this event, I just love drawing cute familiars and sweets. And I'm more than happy to know others like them as well :)

On another note, I enjoyed today's story! I think Desta might be my favourite character. They are so cheerful and full of energy, it's refreshing. Also, bunnies are adorable.

Ah, this story just keeps getting more mysterious!
I need to know already and so does Baker Ming! On another note, am I the only one lowkey shipping Ming and Prakash?! Yes? Alright, I'll leave for now >.>

Happy Brightshine to everyone! \o/
