VIDEO ✽ Sweet Buns

[lastcomfort]

Orihime Inoue shared a video. 09/16 near Recolle University

[ The video begins with what is clearly the inside of one of the college dormitory kitchens. Orihime, wearing an apron that probably needs a few explanations, stands proudly in front of the small counter that currently has stacks and stacks of what appear to be some types of cookies and pastry buns. She gives the feed a happy wave. ]

Hello everyone! My name is Orihime and this is my friend and roommate Soliel.

[ Meanwhile, Soleil--in an apron as well--has taken advantage of the fact Orihime is distracted with the video by stuffing one of the cookies into her mouth. Unfortunately, she doesn’t expect Orihime to start with introductions (that seems awfully formal for showing off some pastries) and has to cover her mouth to hide her chewing. She waves to the video and doesn’t say much in an attempt to avoid Orihime realizing she has gotten into the goods before they have finished. ]

Hey.

[ Orihime either doesn’t realize Soliel has already started assisting with demand by creating scarcity or she’s just okay with her roommate indulging, but either way she doesn’t mention it just yet. She’s just happy to have her on board with this project! ]

We’re both new to Retrsopec and all of, um, everything that’s been going on. It’s a lot to understand, but there was one thing that stuck out when Soliel mentioned it the other day.

[ This is when she looks to Soliel expectantly for her part of the story. ]

[ Soleil does a double take at Orihime. Her hand is already reaching for another cookie, but this sudden attention means she needs to restrain herself. She didn’t expect Orihime to make this a big to-do, but she also doesn’t usually anticipate what Orihime is doing. ]

Uh, well. There isn’t much of a story. I realized the whole situation with horses is seriously messed up. Chocobos are great, sure, whatever, wark wark. But...ponies? No ponies. Anywhere! So I told Orihime and, well, she got ideas. Creative ideas, as always.

[ She gestures to Orihime and then to the baked goods.. ]

Come on, Hime, this was your brain child. Take the credit.

[ Orihime just gives Soliel a big smile and motions to the stacks of pastries behind them. ]

But I wouldn’t have even thought to do this without you! Aaaaand… [ She turns back to the feed. ] ...what we did is make lots and lots of sweets to help us all not forget how much we still love ponies! We have decorated cookies and sweet buns!

[ Soleil spins on her heel. She puts a hand on her hip and holds the other out towards the pile of baked goods, like a woman on a game show presenting the fabulous prizes. She has a dumb grin on her face. She is clearly hamming this up and enjoying the attention. ]

That’s right! If anyone knows Orihime’s sweet buns, it’s me and I can say she has the best around. This is exactly what you should expect from my wife.

Oh, you think so?

[ The implications...are clearly lost on her. ]

That’s so nice of you to say! I guess you do eat a lot of my buns, huh? But I have a lot of fun making them, just like these!

[ Yeah, completely. ]

As you can see, they’re shaped like little horse faces. And the cookies come in all colors of the rainbow! ...Or, um, the colors we have left, at least. They’re sugar cookies with basic icing, but the sweet buns are filled with marshmallow cream, chocolate, strawberry, or cream cheese! And we’ve made a lot!

But, Hime, I want your sweet buns all to myself.

[ And with that, Soleil snatches another cookie and shoves it into Orihime’s mouth. ]

Mmmphhfhf!

[ Om nom nom. It’s surprising but Orihime will happily eat her own cookies. At least she manages to talk with her mouth only half-full. ]

But these were made for sharing! [ Chew chew with cheeks like a chipmunk. ] So if you’d like some, we’ll be happy to package them up for you. If you live on or by the Recolle University Campus it’ll be easy to deliver them, but I’m happy to take them wherever they need to go. Just let us know!

[ Overriding Soilel oops ]

[ Orihime is so perfect. Soleil does not know how she got lucky enough to room with her. She is looking at the pile of sweets again. ]

Jeez. I knew you said you wanted to make everyone food, but I didn't expect you to actually do it. I should know by now not to underestimate you.

[lastcomfort]

[ Orihime just laughs, a small "ehehehe" as she turns back to the stash. ]

It's just more fun to make food for other people! And I think this might be a good way for us to get to know everyone else that's in the same situation as we are. We have to work together!

[kagepuro]

[Uhhhhhhhhh...]

...If I'm being honest, I think "sweet bun" is no longer an acceptable term in 2017

That said

Giff snax pls

[sunnymerc]

speaking of sweet buns

AYANOOOOOOOOO

[lastcomfort]

It isn't?
Why not?

But, ah... Your wife?

[sunnymerc]

[ that doesn't answer anything ]

[lastcomfort]

We have plenty! Would you like some of each?
o (^‿^✿)
Oh Soliel just calls me that! I do a lot of the cooking.

[mincingminuet]

[Oh. Hell. Orihime has the network?! That was pretty much the last thing she expected but then weirdly she should have guessed that her cousin would just miss the initial post. It also was kind of weird that this was what she fixated on, but then Soleil was a weird influence...

So shejust has to reply. With a little bit of a flat expression. She's not mad, but hey, she's gotta tease some.]

Cousin. You've had the network this entire time and you haven't said anything to me?

[lastcomfort]

[ O...oops??? ]

Um...yes! But I didn't really realize what it meant until now...

[sunnymerc]

[ 'Weird' is acceptable to Soleil. Much better than many other things that could be used to describe her. ]

Come on, Pen. This whole thing is unbelievable. You can't expect everyone to be on top of it from the get-go.

[ A pause. ]

Although I am surprised I didn't realize she was in for over a week. I dropped the ball.

[matchbreaker]

So this is intentionally some flirty tease reel, right? Like you guys are going to submit this as a sketch to some sapphic sitcom director?

[sunnymerc]

[me_matey]

[lastcomfort]

No catch at all! Everyone should be able to enjoy sweets and ponies.

[lastcomfort]

Thank you very much! They were fun to make and Soliel helped! Would you like some?

Text

[gamblingaddict]

Ahhhh! They're adorable! What a great decorating job! And they look absolutely delicious, too! You two must be quite the bakers! ^u^

If you still have any of the sweet buns to spare, I would love to sample a few!

[lastcomfort]

We work very well together! I'm lucky that I have a roommate who is willing to jump in on these projects I want to do.

(ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･

We have plenty! Are there any favors you prefer?

[meowbel]

Hey, I want some too! Pick me, pick me!

Pretty please with lots and lots of frosting on top?

[sunnymerc]

haha well i COULD sneak some extra frosting on a few just for you

but that all depends on something

have you been a good girl these past 2 weeks?

[skald]

Eeeeee these are so cute!! Could I get them delivered for a particular class?

Oh also are they peanut safe jw

[lastcomfort]

Yes of course! How many would you like?

I do have peanut butter in the kitchen but I mostly just eat it out of the container, so I don't think there was any cross-contamination...

[loudmouths]

[ what in the name of... ]

I guess that's one way to deal with it...

You two are at the university, huh? Same here! Mind if I get some of whatever your friend hasn't claimed yet? I'd be happy to go to you so you don't have to come to my dorm.

[ cos isn't that a little forward? asking girls to just show up at his room... ]

[lastcomfort]

Of course not! There's plenty to go around. Is there anything in particular I should save for you?

[heiroglyphs]

I'm going to guess that apron is Soleil's?
Seems exactly like something she'd own.

[sunnymerc]

haha i was as surprised as you are but that is 100% hime's own
