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. ]

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.

[lastcomfort]

[ Orihime waves, happy to meet one of Akira's housemates. ]

Hello! It's nice to meet you!

[ There might as well be some sparkly anime bullshit around her, too. ]

Yes, thank you so much for letting us use the kitchen! I live in the dorms so our kitchenette gets crowded really quickly.

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot stares at Orihime for a moment or two longer than he usually stares at Akira's visiting friends, because what the frick. But after the moments pass, he'll snap himself out of it. R-Right, she doesn't sound like what he remembered. And she wasn't an exact match in looks...it must be just a coincidence.

So after that weird moment, he quickly tries to recover with a warm smile]

N-Nice to meet you too, Orihime! Glad to see Akira's making friends on his team! [He wasn't worried that he wouldn't, but still!!]

And don't worry, feel free to us our kitchen! T-Though did I hear something about using ghost peppers?

[maskreant]

[ Oh Shit. That looks so much like Orihime if she were in a videogame of that style. Too bad Akira doesn't know or get why Elliot seems a little... Off? It must have been Eren.

He'll ask when everyone leaves. ]

Only a little bit. It should be a nice kick, especially for people in our team.

[ Akira, an innocent youth... Unbeknownst to him that Orihime added onions and pieces of ghost peppers into the penguins. ]

Want to try one?

[lastcomfort]

[ Boy troubles? Orihime doesn't know what that's like. Or potential crisises of reality. She's met her brother, albeit by accident, and he's a dead angry ghost. ]

Yes, just a little!

[ A beat. ]

...Except for the few that are more than a little...Akira, did you see where I put those?

[ She just signed someone's death warrant.

Yes, Elliot, do you want to try one? ]

[fiddlestick]

[Wow excuse you Akira, Eren was wonderful.

Elliot meanwhile, heard mention of ghost peppers, so he's a little afraid.]

Uh, well...

[But alas, Elliot lacks a backbone, so he doesn't have it in him to say no. Not when they are smiling at him and being genuinely nice. Maybe he'll get lucky and eat one that isn't deadly...or maybe his healing powers will save him.

He gulps.]

S-Sure. I'll try one.

[Rest in pieces, Craig]

[maskreant]

It's your funeral.

[ He places down a platter of identical penguins. Half of them must be Orihime's, but which side. This is basically a coin toss. ]

I'll remember you well.

[lastcomfort]

Oh yes, those ones!

[ She says as if she can tell.

Well, she can tell they're the first batch, but not which one is which. ]

You're welcome to try one of each if you want.

[fiddlestick]

[He makes a little whimper]

T-Thanks Akira. [What a great friend.

But after trying to study them to see if there's an easy way to tell which one is a lethal one, he'll give up and just take one. Who knew a cute penguin could be so frightening.]

H-Here goes...

[TAKES A BITE. What is his fate]

[maskreant]

[ His fate is a Orihime penguin.

Good luck. Akira has already prepared a glass of milk. ]

Gently breaks tag order

[fiddlestick]

[There's a pause before Elliot's face goes red. He makes one....tiny...whimper...

Then he collapses to the ground.

Elliot Craig has fucking died.]
