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. ]

Document it as a millennial would.

Vlog it.

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. ]

[servileness]

[ 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.

[maskreant]

[ 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.

[servileness]

[ 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.

[maskreant]

[ 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.

[servileness]

[ 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.

[maskreant]

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.

[servileness]

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.

[maskreant]

spice or alcohol. i've seen too many things now.

that's possible. i'll put them in a bag for you.

[servileness]

What do you wish to have not seen?

Thank you.

[maskreant]

mutant fish with arms.

man in his most natural state.

demonic wolves.





maybe not the last one. it was kind of cool.

[servileness]

A mutant fish with arms sounds interesting. I wonder how the biology behind that works.

I'm sorry. I hope someday the image fade into an indistinguishable blur in your mind.

If the wolf didn't harm you, I'd respect it.

[maskreant]

i'm curious, too. i was debating on bringing it back so we can have scientists look at it, but that seemed like such a hassle. not worth getting strangled.

it wasn't too bad aside from being threatened. i'll live. thank you.

it didn't, but man. it looked like it came straight from a horror game. that wouldn't stop me from petting it though.

[servileness]

Is that aggressiveness or an instinct to survive? Regardless, your safety is more important.

If the wolf wanted it and allowed it, I'd encourage it. I wouldn't be deterred by looks either. Animals deserve to be adored.
