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. ]

You can kill someone with those.

[ Sorry she's a wet blanket. ]

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.

[ Hindsight is 20/20. ]

If it's a little, it should be fine, but I would also like proof. Please eat one of the spicy ones before you hand them out, so my worries may be alleviated.

[ And therefore, he must eat one for his carelessness. ]

i am an anti-millennial. polaroids and vhs only.

[ But he'll send her a quick video? It shows him eating the ones that he made, then downing some water right after.

Wheezing... But not dying, exactly.

[ It's a good thing she keeps this to text only because she actually laughs a little. ]

You have my gratitude, Mr. Anti-Millennial. I would've accepted a Polaroid or VHS cassette. I know where I can find a VCR.

You've proven your cause, but I would keep a closer eye on the ones your partner makes. She's the one I was more worried about.

[ IT'S SOOOOO HOTTT BUT IT FEELS SO GOOD he may have a problem ]

it would take some time for me to assemble it and send it, though. snail mail and all?

from what i know, she's usually not this adventurous, so i'm surprised. i'm making some suggestions right now.

[ why are you a masochist, akira ]

I'm patient. I would wait for it, if you put forth the effort and dedication. There's something quaint about acting like it's 20 years ago.

I'll take your word for it. I hope she considers your suggestions. I'm not against experimentation, but there should be a certain sense of methodology to it.

[ he's actually a sadist ]

all right. i'll give it a try since i do have a polaroid camera. that should take less time. i'll also send you some penguins.

suggestions don't always make it to the final product, but cross your fingers and make your prayer circles.

[ why are you a sadist, akira* ]

... I wasn't insincere, but I was jesting. I'll accept whatever you try do, however. Do you usually humor such requests?

I'll hope for the best but expect the worst. Thank you for trying regardless.

sometimes. it depends on how i'm feeling and how much time i have. i was joking, too, since i have to head back to Magatus after today.

but you can still have penguins.

no problem. anything for the greater good.

If you're part of the group that went to Magatus... I suppose you could be a fan of spice either way.

If possible, I'd like a normal one without any heat to them.

You would need to dump it in a vat of heavy cream to balance it out, but perhaps you have a higher tolerance for spice than average.

Please try one of your own making before you give anyone else one.

If you find your flavor combination delectable, I'll be amazed.

They are very cute penguins. It makes what you're trying to the stuff them with even more of a contrast.

Yes, but I don't think onions complement sweet and spicy that well.

In their natural habitat, they are, but... perhaps you should attempt tame and sweet ones for the day after Valentine's Day.

[ The thought of caramelized onions and chocolate together makes her want to gag. ]

Caramelized onions are delicious, but I don't think humanity is ready for that combination. I your stomach is strong enough for that, however.... by all means.

Can you tell the difference from the outside?

Do you subscribe to the notion that "If it doesn't kill you, it make you stronger"? Evolution works that way, but not for the individual.

That's a cute idea. I like it.

All concerns said, it is very generous of you to make and offer treats to the user base at large.

Science can help prove that sentiment. Scent and taste can affect you in a variety of ways, and a satiated but not overfull stomach is vital to keep you going.

You're a very cheerful individual, aren't you?
