Did people really need an excuse to go to a bakery and buy something warm, tasty, and fresh out of the oven? Maybe it felt more justifiable going in when you had a reason that was more than 'I just want a cupcake'.

Today, as Lena checked the name one more time to make sure she had ended up at the right place, just wanting a cupcake was a good and legit reason.

A few weeks ago, an ad for Extra Loaves had appeared on one of her social media accounts. She'd started following them when she had noticed their out-of-this-world designs and flavor combos. It wasn't like any of the other bakeries she visited and that meant that it had been bumped up high on her list of places to stop by.

Walking in did not disappoint.

Between the smell that made her mouth water, the display cases, and the decor, Lena ironically felt right a home. She slipped around a few people to check out what the baker had on display, looking to see if she recongized any of the names or styles, only to smile at the references to games and tv shows.

A perfect way to end a long day at work.

"If only I could do one of everything." she chuckled to herself.

"We do flights," said a voice. It belonged to a pair of hands slipping a sugar cookie iced like a d20 into a waxed paper sleeve; the rest of its owner was hidden behind the plates and baskets of baked goods nestled in a glass-fronted case near the door. "Check the sign up top, I'll get you in a minute."

The aforementioned sign was a pink paper printout in an upright acrylic frame. 'Can't Decide? Try a Flight!' Below were all six flavors (on a separate piece of paper taped to the outside of the frame) and the price, and below that was a little covered takeout tray of six bite-size mini cupcakes each topped with a spiral of frosting, identical to the full-size cupcakes below except in size.

A teenaged girl in an apron with the bakery's logo and a black hoodie with a red and white stripe down one pushed-up sleeve emerged from behind the case, slid the cookie and a gently steaming cup of coffee across the counter to a bearded man with a backpack slung over one shoulder, and started punching buttons on the register. "Still running that paladin in Tomb of Annihilation?" she asked, picking up what had evidently been a conversation in progress.

"Oh, no, our DM's running her own module now. Less meatgrinder, more role-playing. I'm a tiefling hexblade."

"Sweet. Patron?"

"She's not telling."

"Ooh, you're gonna get visions, aren't you. Okay, your total is.."

Once the transaction wrapped up and the customer had been sent on his way with a 'Try not to die!', the girl looked around the side of the bakery case at Lena, quirking a brow. "Need any help deciding?"

The voice had made her look up, glancing at the sign as the owner of the said voice appeared with an adorable cookie. While she had never played DnD, Lena got the reference. The things that people could do with dice were unbelievable. To see it as a cookie was impressive.

"Thank you." She answered back, catching onto the conversation with a smile before reading over the flight. Tempting. Very, very tempting. All of it was really as she eyed the case once more.

By the time the girl had turned her attention back to Lena, she had started toying with her NASA ID badge around her neck, spinning it as she tried to make up her mind.

"Hm?" Her voice had pulled Lena out of her brain fog of food and back to reality. "Oh, yes please. What would you recommend or do you have anything new today? I didn't take your social media page this morning so wasn't sure what you had whipped up today."

Why did she suddenly sound like an idiot? Lena sighed right then, offering the girl a smile. "Sorry, long day at work. Besides anything new, what would you recommend for a chocolate craving?"
