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. ]

[frostythehitman]

is that a dare

[maskreant]

only have one, not more.

[frostythehitman]

what you think i can't handle it

[maskreant]

no, i'm worried you'll eat more than necessary.

ghost peppers can kill you if you eat too much in a short period of time.

[frostythehitman]

only if you let them

[maskreant]

i don't think that's how it works, James.

can't say i didn't warn you. i'll keep my thumb on the emergency button.

[frostythehitman]

i'm gonna kick that pepper chocolate's ass
where do i go to eat them

[maskreant]

at my place.

the door should be open.

[ He'll send it over privately? ]

[frostythehitman]

[ An hour later, he practically kicks Akira's door in. ]

Where are they.

[ He is a man on a MISSION. ]

[maskreant]

[ JAMES?? Akira is startled with his hands up in the air, apron on and everything. ]

... I said the door was open.

[ Here. He sets out the penguins for him. There's one of each waiting for him: Orihime's death filling, Akira's spicy filling, and normal chocolate. ]

[frostythehitman]

[ He watches Akira set out the penguins and then glares at them a good while. There's no outward distinction between any of the three, so really...he should just pick one at random and go for it. He's got equal chances of getting any of them.

He reaches out and pops the middle one into his mouth. After two chews, he grimaces horrendously--but keeps his mouth closed until he swallows. ]

I never knew how gross onion and chocolate together would taste.

[maskreant]

[ Akira watches James carefully with a cup of milk in his hand in case he needs it. Based on his rather leveled voice and normal complexion, he figures James is a devil? ]

When I pitched ghost peppers, I meant a small amount of puree into the chocolate mix itself... Not whole with onions.

[ Siiiighs. ]

Are you dead?

[frostythehitman]

[ well I apparently misread and thought there were separate onion chocolates and ghost pepper chocolates

but it's fine, whatever, let's just roll with it

James raises an eyebrow at him. ]

What, you think I can't handle a little chocolate?

[ He pops the second one in now as easily as the first. But about two chews in, he stops. Because the heat is suddenly hitting him full force now. His eyes widen and begin tearing up. His entire body tenses. Is this what death feels like? This might be what death feels like. ]

[lastcomfort]

A dare?

[frostythehitman]

yeah
you know
getting someone to do something crazy intense
what else are those pepper chocolate things supposed to be

[lastcomfort]

Spicy! Have you never had chili and chocolate before?

[frostythehitman]

not with entire chunks of ghost pepper in them

[lastcomfort]

...Extra spicy for Valentine's Day?

[frostythehitman]

yeah for your ex maybe

[lastcomfort]

You wouldn't like it?

[frostythehitman]

you seriously think somebody WOULD

[lastcomfort]

Yes?

[ SHE LIKES SPICY THINGS? ]

[frostythehitman]

jesus
i sure as hell hope not
those things are probably a violation of the geneva convention

[lastcomfort]

So you don't want to try one?

[frostythehitman]

[ let's just pretend he's having this conversation with her while he's in transit in the above thread with Akira. ]

are you kidding
i'm already on my way over
