[The video opens on a shot of Jailbreak, standing in the Station's kitchen. For some reason, she's holding a slice of bread in one hand, and is standing by the toaster... which appears to have changed a little, somehow?]

[Overall it looks pretty much the same, but it has an extra slot in the front, and a little square screen on the side.]

So, I might've mentioned before that I can take things and make 'em a little more magical, right? Anyway, long story, but we were having some trouble with cooking and I did a little work on the toaster. Figured it'd be good manners to let everybody know how to work this thing, if we're all gonna be using the same kitchen. Other four slots work just like you're used to, no problem, but this fifth one here's kinda different.

[She drops the bread into the fifth slot and pulls the lever. A metal shutter comes down over the slot's opening, covering the contents from view, and the little screen lights up. In white letter it says 'processing...' and then, after a moment, changes to read 'yeast, flour, sugar, salt, carroway seeds'. The slot opens, and instead of bread out pops a set of five small metal trays.]

[Jail picks up on of the trays so the camera can get a good shot of it, revealing that it contains flour. Presumably, the other four contain the remaining listed ingredients.]

So yeah, it's like a bread maker, but in reverse. We have a bread unmaker now.

[Jail holds up the toaster, revealing that a label has been added by way of putting a piece of sticky tape on the side and scribbling 'bread unmaker' on it in marker. She looks pleased with herself.]

You're welcome.

[Showing off is important and she respects that.]

Sweet. I usually hang out in the AV room, bring the stuff by sometime and we'll talk business.

[Jail: apparently totally fine with being offered random multiversal trash instead of legendary relics.]

[riderofcharlemagne]

Gotcha.

[Does he have any idea what kind of unmaker he wants? Absolutely not. But does he want one? Hell yes.]

[nor_iron_bars]

Pleasure doing business with you.

[Jail shuts off the call with a wink. If Astolfo wants to find her, she will in fact be in the AV room for most of the day, toying absently with one of the video game systems.]

[Here comes Astolfo, arms full of garbage, bustin' into the AV room.]

Yo.

[nor_iron_bars]

Heya.

[Jail looks up from her game, her real grin widening almost enough to match the painted one on her mask. Looks like he's got a pretty good haul there...]

Bring it over here, lemme see what you got.

[riderofcharlemagne]

[He dumps a pile of things before Jail: A pair of tight-fitting pants made of an unknown, plasticy material; a set of modern keys on a keychain, including a magnifying glass (in a cheap plastic loupe) and a tiny flashlight; $1.37 USD in various change; a pair of low-crotch capri sweatpants; and a belt that seems abnormally long, at least twice as long as it needs to be to fit around your waist, with a buckle shaped like a cat head.]

How's this?

What color are the plastic pants?

[nor_iron_bars]

[Jail looks it over, nodding thoughtfully.]

Not bad, not bad... What kinda thing did you wanna unmake, if I made you something for it?

Black! they also have magical heat regulation if she'd notice?

[riderofcharlemagne]

Ah, well... [He laughs lightly.] I hadn't thought that far.

[nor_iron_bars]

Welp, points for enthusiasm.

[Jail snickers.]

Maybe it'll help if you think about what kinda thing you want me to make it out of? When I do magitech stuff, what I get depends a little on what I started with- like, the toaster was already for bread, so it could do stuff to bread magically.

[riderofcharlemagne]

[He crosses his arms and tries to think on it.]

Some kind of kitchen item, for sure.

[nor_iron_bars]

So, more food-focused stuff, then? What appliances do we got in the kitchen right now?

[Jail gives it some thought, herself. Probably not the fridge, that could get inconvenient...]

[riderofcharlemagne]

There's the fridge!

[He isn't considering the inconvenience.]

[nor_iron_bars]

I dunno, it's not my fridge, the droids might get kinda pissy if we mess with their stuff too much. Like, the toaster's one thing, but fridges are harder to replace.

[Jail isn't necessarily very polite, but she's smart enough to know you don't make someone angry if you're essentially living on their couch.]

[riderofcharlemagne]

What about one of the compartments in it? We could have an unfreezer.

[The word is defrost, Astolfo.]

[nor_iron_bars]

You can unfreeze stuff just by leaving it out on a counter, though? Unless you mean making it hotter... but I think that's just, like. A stove.

[riderofcharlemagne]

That's far less fun, surely.

[nor_iron_bars]

I dunno, sometimes you can stick stuff in a microwave and watch it explode, that's pretty cool.

[Jail, why are you like this.]

[riderofcharlemagne]

It can do that?!

[nor_iron_bars]

[Jail pauses, then points at the pile of things Astolfo had to offer.]

Tell you what, new deal: gimmie those pants and the spare change and I'll show you which stuff you can blow up inside a microwave without setting the whole thing on fire.

[Someone is probably going to have to clean exploded potato bits off the inside of that poor microwave, but it could be worse. Probably.]

[riderofcharlemagne]

[He claps his hands to his cheeks with a gasp.]

You'd really do that?

We can probably wrap this soon unless you want to do more with it.

[nor_iron_bars]

Sure, why not. Not like I haven't done messier jobs.

[She pockets the money and folds up the pants. The pact is sealed.]

[riderofcharlemagne]

[Jail you are the coolest witch he's ever met.]
