VIDEO [Backdated to 2/15]

[ 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.

[thesettingsun]

I really should have known.

[odasaku]

It seems interesting.

[thesettingsun]

I can't say it's not interesting.

[odasaku]

Yeah. So I would try one if I could.

[maskreant]

do you have regrets asking this question?

[thesettingsun]

Odasaku's spice tolerance is terrifying, but not new information.

[maskreant]

i've never experienced it myself, but now i'm curious.

he won't die, right?

[thesettingsun]

He hasn't died yet. I can't guarantee he won't cause other permanent damage to himself.

[maskreant]

i'm getting the feeling that he doesn't take care of himself well.

how concerning. i will feed him normal chocolates.

[lastcomfort]

Spicy and sweet are a classic chocolate combination!

[thesettingsun]

According to who?

[lastcomfort]

SCIENCE!!

Actually I saw an advertisement for Chili Pepper Truffles once. And then Akira had ghost peppers.

[thesettingsun]

This is terrifying. Please make sure that anyone who buys one knows exactly what they're getting into.

[lastcomfort]

Of course! That's why we're showing everyone now.

[livingimpaired]

I am curious about them, actually.

[lastcomfort]

You'd like to try one?

[livingimpaired]

Yes.
You put a lot of effort into them, right?
It would be wrong not to try at least one.

[lastcomfort]

We did! We wanted them to be special since everyone has been working so hard.

[livingimpaired]

That is exceptionally kind of you to think of everyone. Especially since not everyone had been able to make or receive chocolates themselves.

I consider this a great service.

[thesettingsun]

You run a mapo tofu shop, you're a statistical outlier.

[livingimpaired]

Fair.
My love for spice and the pain that comes with it is relatively unmatched.

But don't you want to try just one? For experience's sake?

[thesettingsun]

I don't see any need to cause myself pain just for the experience.

[livingimpaired]

Ah. I see.
You are, as the kids say, chicken.
