[Normally Xander doesn't do video posts for the network, with the exception of showing off his shadow mimicry. This time around, the camera isn't pointed at himself but a kitchen counter filled with several sweet and savory baked goods made of kneaded dough. These weren't any left overs from the party that Kotetsu hosted since he didn't attend.]

I made a lot more than I intended. [The image tilts slightly to the side, as if it was knocked off balanced for some reason. A sigh and a meow is heard before the visual is back to it's original position.] There's a chance I won't be able to eat all of this in the next few days. So... I'm offering to -- [A brief pause, he's torn if he should charge a small sum for it or not.] -- share.

Limited to those who live in Locke, sorry.

Yes.

[There's no video feed and the white tabby wouldn't have been see in the post either.]

Lucky. My parents won't let us have any pets.

Where are you planning to hand out your extra food?

There's a lot of responsibility comes with owning pets.

...I haven't decided. Maybe one of the parks.

That's what they say. But I'm usually responsible. I could take care of a cat at least.

That would hold a few people. When were you thinking of doin' it?

You might be thinking differently depending on the personality of the cat.

Sometime soon. [Just as he's about to end his response, there's a small clatter of plastic containers.]

[ There is a bit of a laugh from Alexi's side. ]

Yours seem pretty fun.

He can be, but he's loves attention and sometimes makes things difficult.

Isn't that all cats?

Making things difficult, yes. Loves attention? Not all of them like that.

I guess that's kinda more like a dog. I haven't gotten to spend much time around either.

It'll change in time.

[There's sound of him stacking containers.]

Anyway, I'm heading off now.

I hope so.

Uh are you gonna contact people again? When you decide where you're gonna give stuff out?

Yes.

[He's already on his way to the place in mind, so, he says what park he's going to.]

[ There are no words for how excited Alexi is about free sweets. No words! So excited that he's even dismissing his usual anxieties about meeting new people, as he quickly jumps off the Network to write down the location and bring up some directions. Secretly, he also wishes Xander would bring his cat, but for now, he'll settle for goodies. Should he be worried about meeting some random Numbered stranger? Probably. But he's also still pretty high on his excitement about recently joining this exclusive club anyway, even with his uncertainty as to whether he truly belongs. ]

[Xander wasn't exactly eager to be doing this, but this was his own fault for making an abundance of baked goods while stressed out. So, he would deal with whomever decided to show up at the park, hopefully.

He was dressed decently, a black & white scarf around his neck and holding on to a several plastic bags. His blue eyes were glancing around for anyone who expressed interest from his post on the network.]

[ Alexi shows up at the park maybe a little late since his sense of directions could be better. It occurs to him as he heads into it, still checking his phone to make sure he didn't get lost for the third time, that he never really got a good visual of his dessert benefactor. Then again, how many people are likely to standing around with a bunch of pastries?

He glances up from his directions to check around the park and spies Xander fairly quickly. He figures either the guy is here for some sort of picnic or he's probably the person who made the post, especially with the way he seems to be looking around. But how to get his attention? It's not like they exchanged names. He didn't even get the names of the cats. He scratches at the back of his neck. He's not great at randomly approaching people, even when he knows their name. This is a whole new level of awkward. ]

[That was fine if Alexi was late, since Xander would occasionally glance down at his phone and check if anyone else had responded to his post. Then again, it was kind of his fault for not assigning a meeting spot within the park or giving any details about who to look for.

With a sigh, he moves to find a picnic table and places the bags on top. He definitely spotted someone staring his way, probably intimidated by meeting a stranger. It probably didn't help that he appeared to be rather off-putting at times. Might as well make the first move by raising his hand in greeting.]

...Hey.

[ He looks up a bit, hesitantly. ]

The guy with the cats?

Yeah. I am.

[He nods and his fingers twitch slightly. As much as a cigarette sounds good right now, he'll resist for the time being. Just to be polite.]

[ Alexi only sort of catches the finger-twitch and only because he's focusing on Xander so intently right now. He wonders if it has something to do with meeting a Numbered in person. Then again, a lot more Numbered than him had probably done that by now. He turns his attention to the picnic table of sweets and gives a small smile. ]

It's pretty cool of you to share with everyone. What's the selection?

[It was only a restless habit that happened when he was talking to others, except the last time that happened he accidentally conjured a flame. So, he tries to be mindful of it.

At the question about the baked goods, he moves to pull out a few containers, revealing the various sweet and savory items.]

Various pastries, rolls, pretzels, doughnuts, miniature pies... All baked.

[ Alexi's gaze rolls over all the options, growing a bit wider. ]

Oh wow, they look even better in person. Especially the pies. You really don't want anything for 'em?

Thanks. If you want to pay or not, either is fine.

[He shrugs slightly before balling up the plastic bags and stashes them in to his pocket.]

[ Well, he has some money. Like 10 bucks or something. So that's what he's holding out as he starts gathering up pies. Delicious pies. ]

I think I'll just take a few of these guys.

[He wasn't expecting to raise his head to a bundle of bills, so he blinks his blue eyes a few times before accepting it.]

All right.

[After taking a moment to stash the money in to his wallet, he watches Alexi gather the pies. Damn, he should have brought some extra containers.]

Hang on... You can take the container too. Just let me move some of the extra to another one.

[Or swap it with another pie.]
