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. ]

So are you going to eat any of Orihime's penguins? I can prepare your grave.

[ He's joking, but...

Maybe... ]

[mincingminuet]

I love my cousin. So no, I couldn't put her through seeing me in an early grave.

[God, why couldn't he teach her something normal. Like Curry.]

[maskreant]

[ SPICY CHOCOLATE IS NORMAL? ORIHIME JUST JUMPED OFF. ]

Even if it'll break her heart?

[mincingminuet]

I love her. She's family. But this is new. She's an amazing cook, most of the time.

[This is becoming a strange pattern.]

[maskreant]

I thought so, too... Our fish stew was a little weird, but I thought it was the outlier to most of her cooking.

[ Hmmm. ]

Like a one time thing.

[mincingminuet]

Right. And it was till now. If it continues to be a pattern, then something is off.

[maskreant]

[ He’s whispering now: ]

Do you want me to confront her about this?

[mincingminuet]

No? I'll do it. If it gets worse.

[maskreant]

I wish you luck, Pen. If anything, I wouldn’t say it’s too bad right now.

You sure you don’t want any normal penguins at least?

[mincingminuet]

If you can promise there's no onions, that'd be great. I...am not a fan.

[maskreant]

I'll pack some specifically with no onions and peppers. It'll be a nice cold bite when you need some sugar to stimulate your brain when we head back to Magatus.

Do you think Ton can eat Orihime's chocolates though? Just curious.

[mincingminuet]

Oh probably. He eats just about anything.

[maskreant]

Then I'll pack some of those ghost pepper penguins for him them. It's better to not let them go to waste.
