VIDEO [Backdated to 2/15]

[lastcomfort]

[ The broadcast starts with the shifting of the camera to show they’re in someone’s lovely abode. Hm. Maybe you’ll recognize some people in passing before the show starts? Once the the camera is balanced, everything comes to light.

Welcome to Mochi House Kitchen where our heroes, Akira Kurusu and Orihime Inoue, are suit up in the ugliest aprons you have ever seen. For reference, Akira is in this one and Orihime is the buff cook. ]

Hello! It’s so nice to have everyone together again. We’ve been up north for a while and we missed Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have something to show everyone our appreciation!

[ Akira doesn’t seem to get the memo that they’re recording. Thinking that she’s still practicing or whatever, he asks: ]

Hey, do you think we should use ghost peppers for a separate chocolate filling? Not in all of them, but maybe a handful.

Oh, yes! We don’t want those to go to waste.

[ Which she will actually start to place the ghost peppers with some onion and the chocolate on empty dumpling wrappers. As she folds them over carefully and sets them to the side, it should be noted that they look...almost entirely the same as the regular chocolate filled ones from the outside. ]

Stop by and try your luck today with a free stuffed penguin today! Maybe I’ll just let you do all the talking. [ Wait, this is supposed to commemorate the holiday. Whatever. ] Where did you get these aprons, anyway?

I picked them up at the thrift store! I thought we might want to dress the part if we’re cooking for everyone. They’re very unique, aren’t they? I’ve never seen anything like them before!

[ Probably for a good reason. But they're on the Valentine's Day theme, right? ]

They’re perfect.

[ Orihime smiles then turns purposefully to the camera. ]

They’ll be ready soon, so get them while they’re hot!

Wait, were you recording?

[ And then she waves and turns off the feed. ]

I have a question: does anyone actually want to eat ghost pepper chocolate?

[odasaku]

I'd like to try.

[maskreant]

do you have regrets asking this question?

[lastcomfort]

Spicy and sweet are a classic chocolate combination!

[livingimpaired]

I am curious about them, actually.

[justfists]

Orihime, I hope that the boys like your chocolate.

[because chocolate is for boys on Valentines day, she's safe]

[maskreant]

in America, girls get chocolates on this day, too.

[ you're not safe. ]

[lastcomfort]

Oh, we made some for anyone! I saved some for you and Soliel, don't worry!

[frostythehitman]

is that a dare

[maskreant]

only have one, not more.

[lastcomfort]

A dare?

[sunnymerc]

[OH LOOK, Orihime has made a post! And she is making chocolates? On Valentines? Soleil feels a wave of excitement.

... ... ...

Ghost peppers and onions?

...She sets her phone down and goes to give herself a pep talk in the bathroom mirror instead of responding immediately.]

[lastcomfort]

[ Don't worry, Soliel. She made sure to save a few penguins for you! She just has no idea which ones they are. ]

[mincingminuet]

Orihime.

[Pen just...stares at her cousin's post in stunned silence.]

Are you trying to make people sick? Ghost Peppers and Onions in chocolate?

[maskreant]

She added onions to it?

[ WHAT.......... HE DIDN'T SEE THAT. ]

Action;

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot had stepped out of the Mochi kitchen for awhile to have a sweet reunion with his boyfriend. So when he comes back, this is going down. He stands in the doorway, looking completely confused. ]

Uh...

[Who is this girl?? Why does she look like his other self's sister?? Where did they get ghost peppers?? Why are they filming a cooking show? What are those aprons????]

What'd I miss....?

[maskreant]

Hey, Elliot. This is a teammate of mine, Orihime.

[ Akira is quick to introduce the two since he thinks they can make great friends? Possibly cooking friends (then that friendship would be broken in the future). ]

I promised to help her make some chocolate penguin dumplings, so i offered our kitchen since we were stuck here, anyway.

[odasaku]

That looks amazing. Makes me wish I could go get one.

[maskreant]

you didn't come home today? that's a shame.

i can save one for you, if you really want?

[ascatic]

[ his eyebrows can't raise any higher. ]

This sounds... like a very interesting idea.

[ and then, his stomach growls. not out of hunger. ]

[maskreant]

[ CAT DAD... ]

I think... maybe you should pass on this, Mister Aksera. You can have a regular penguin!

[lalliho]

[AKIRA!!!]

I said no!

[maskreant]

[ He doesn't even remember Lalli's opposition against spicy chocolate. The easiest reply: ]

Yes.

[servileness]

You can kill someone with those.

[ Sorry she's a wet blanket. ]

[maskreant]

it should be fine since it's only a bit of it in the chocolate mix. as long as no one eats 40 penguins in 10 minutes, no one will die.

[ So Akira and Orihime may have had... very different interpretations when he pitched the idea. He's starting to learn that

they're not on the same page.






and that he may have needed to supervise her. ]

[adoringpast]

that's fucking disgusting and im in hell right now for crying out loud

[maskreant]

spicy chocolate is pretty good, actually.

don't knock it till you try it.

[crudest]

[SOMEONE DIDN'T GET TO GO HOME AND IS STILL STUCK IN FREEZERLAND but]

oh shit save me one without onions

[maskreant]

i don't know which one has the onions, but i'll save you some of mine.

should i even stop her?

[me_matey]

SCREW IT ILL EAT ONE #YOLO

[maskreant]

please sign our digital waiver. we are not liable for any bowel problems you may have in the near future.

How did you make those? I have always attempted to fill chocolate with mapo tofu but it never seems to work.
If you tell me, I shall make something in turn to give. It is the season for sharing chocolates, isn't it?

[lastcomfort]

Really?? Of course! We'd share our recipe even without asking for something in return.

Part of the secret is we're layering multiple dumpling wrappers so they're thicker and have more structural integrity. That way we can shape them more easily and not worry about the filling gushing out. It'd be very sad to have bleeding penguins.

[gunsandveggies]

May I have a few?

[The peppers are intriguing. It looks a hell of a lot like a challenge. And if she can surpass Kei's mapo tofu challenge, then surely she can do this too.]

[lastcomfort]

Yes, of course!

[ Haru, may you find The Special One. ]

[beneathmoonlight]

I’ve heard of adding chilis to chocolate, but ghost pepper ones?

That sounds painful...

[lastcomfort]

It adds a nice kick!

[ To the soul.

Right out of the body. ]

[loudmouths]

...why are you doin this

why are you taintin the sanctity of chocolate

this is so cruel............

did akira give you this idea?!?!

[lastcomfort]

We both came up with it! You don't like the penguins?
