Fourth Painting: [Action/Voice]
[A new sign has gone up at the bakery.
The wood of the bakery’s new sign is slightly stained with leftover coffee, giving it a lovely rich brown color. With the shellac finish, it will be practically weatherproof. Such a luxury would have been expensive beyond belief back in District 12, even for a baker’s family.
The sign could be considered quaint, but falls short of being trite. The border is done with a fine brush in grass greens; a winding vine with yellow flowers. At the bottom, a pile of bread loaves. One is the sort of loaf 12 was famous for back home, a sort of drop biscuit. Another is the seeded loaf of District 11. Accompanying them are two cheese buns, as well as an assortment of cakes, cookies, and tarts, all of which are actually offered inside the bakery. It has a provincial look to it, natural and fresh, as if even on a rainy day one could find the sun and hot bread inside this building.
The word "BAKERY" is in the palest of blues, with a slightly darker blue shading the letters. He stands on a ladder to hang it up in front of the building, a look of intense concentration on his face.
Later, he puts a message out over the journals.]
Thanks to everyone who helped at the bakery while the Kin'corans were here. Actually, I could still use help now that they're gone. There are about three hundred people in the village, and lots of them like fresh bread. If you want work but don't have any experience, I don't mind teaching. I mean, even I started out washing dishes.
So who's up for it?

That's wonderful! Yes, then. Made from sugar! I am advised that it should have tiers as well?

Ah...
[Hm. What would Buffy have said? It's not going to be a very large party, though Elizabeth hardly knows how big tiers are, which might make the number aesthetic more than a question of quantity. In which case, aesthetically, what would be pleasing? Is there a number one typically prefers? Perhaps three? Or would three be lavish and two be perfectly good and well?
The pirate is thinking far too much send help please.]
