retrospec | VIDEO ✽ Sweet Buns

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!

Well you were concerned about my apartment, so it can be a way of thanking you!

omigosh sakura i love you

[ saying this in a post where she declared another woman her wife... ]

[wELL THAT ESCALATED

She's just gonna...

Thank the gods this is text and not video]

You're welcome! (´• ω •`) Though um, won't Orihime-san be...

oh jeez you too???

orihime is my roommate and we've been doing lots of cute domestic things together

but shes not LITERALLY my wife

Oh no not the wife part! But I did wonder if... y'know. Maybe you two were together...?

You both look really cute!

whoa

me and hime? you really thought that?

thats flattering but we're not

[ NOT FOR A LACK OF TRYING. Orihime's innocence is simply impenetrable. ]

Okay, I understand.

I'm really sorry if I said something silly there.

But um, yes, I will absolutely make you a bento box! No charge. (≧◡≦)

omigosh i cant wait for your cute little lunch box!!

i'll bring you an extra cookie in exchange

I'm glad you're excited!

Oh is there anything you're allergic to? Or even foods you prefer?

nope

i will eat anything so long as its made with love

...tho i do like meat a lot

[omg she can't believe this girl is real]

Meat? Ok. I'll make sure there's plenty in there.

It'll be ready by tomorrow.

tomorrow? really?

you dont need to make this a priority on my account...

It's okay! This isn't out of my way or anything.

I've been doing this for years so it's simple enough for me to make.

And I'm a better cook than I am a baker, so... it's fine, really.

youre so sweet! i can't wait to see what its like

better keep this on down low tho! having a second wife is very scandalous

[She had to look up what a "down low" was and she's still not sure]

Oh right!

I'll be sure to! Keep it on that low low! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

[LIKE ALL THE COOL KIDS]

[ there is nothing cool here... ]

um okay
just dont work yourself too hard on my account okay?
i'll have to think of a favor to do for you in exchange...

It's okay, you don't need to go that far!

This at least gives me something to do.

Most of the time I just work.

"just work"?

but youve got to have other things to do besides that right?

like hobbies and friends and dates?

I draw in my spare time!

[Noooo mention of the friends and the dates]

[ SHE NOTICES. Soleil may be dopey, but she is perceptive. ]

you do?
what kind of things do you like to draw?
youve got to show me your drawings ٩(^ᴗ^)۶

Watercolors mostly! Though I still need plenty of practice with them.

I have an online gallery if you'd like to see! Nothing fancy, of course, but it'll be nice if I decide to go to school for an art degree.

i definitely want to see!

i mean i dont know anything about art so dont expect anything insightful from me but i really do want to see
