Yes, Citizen Dmeck, get ready to break in your scouting boots! Ask around for helpful runes and runos!

Wonderful, more cannon fodder Rangers & Scouts, hearty congratulations!
Next assignment: see if you can find an unplundered stash of Twinkies or Little Debbie goodies, they're still good after 90 years!

Can I focus on booze instead? That's pretty durable, too. And it has so many uses!

Do 'focus' and 'booze' even belong in the same sentence?

A cake, or a work of art? Discuss.

Oh, and congratulations! Have you visited the Quartermaster's Store yet?

Is that a chocolate raspberry layer cake, dmeck? Looks delicious! And congratulations!
And is that a Girl Genius wasp eater in the illustration with the plain cake? That could be as useful as a cat if it could be trained to detect and hunt trolls and beasts as well as slaver wasps!

Congratulations, dmeck!!! Well done, and welcome to your new job as a Scout.

Since there's already plenty of cake - yes, I know that's something we could argue about - I decided to make something else as a gift to you.

I hope you don't mind me using your avatar...

Scout Night



This one is 17x5 cm, and it makes a great bookmark.
I made one to myself on photo paper, and it looks fine.  8)
So on this link you will find a version ready for printing two units of it on an A4 size sheet. Just remember to select best quality on the printer.
After printing cut the pair of images and glue them together. Your two-sided bookmark is ready.

(sorry, I tried to upload the glue too but didn't find out how... must be some hidden setting...  ;D  )

What a beautiful bookmark! Dmeck can use it with any books discovered during scouting!

Congrats dmeck, hope your new scout boots are comfy.

It is indeed a wasp eater. It would be nice to have some more reaction images from the Comic of the Month works at least, but so far there are only two, both from GG and both about cake :) First things first!

Thank you all.

Grey that is a wonderful gift and I need to print it out!!  It is beautiful!! (Plus it has the moon and mars and Jupiter!! )

The cake is from a place called Milk Bar.  (They do deliver, but only in the US). There is one not far from where I work (When I am in the office)

I don't often make fancy cakes (My stand by's are traditional red velvet cake, Boston cream pie, and Maple walnut cake).

I have never had their cakes (They are all so pretty though).  I have had their cookies and find them a bit to sweet.  (My favorite purchased cookies being lotus biscoff and homemade shortbread )

I actually purchased a few different brands of specaroos cookies.  I was quite surprised the ones from the Netherlands had some pepper in them  and were spicier than the ones from Belgium)


The you all so much

... I suppose that the add-one form, then, maybe shouldn't ask for (SSSS) chapter and characters shown anymore ... ?
