Do alarms like that normally happen here? It was quite a wake-up call! I'm glad I wasn't drafted, but...

[ she's pretty concerned about people who are. Platina glances worriedly off to the side, then turns back to the feed. ]

I hope they'll be all right. In the meantime... does anyone know how to make a cake?

[ pointing the camera at her disastrous-looking attempt. yyyyes, wrong canon, but the girl is not a cook! it's her birthday and she wants cake damnit o9" also action is cool for anyone living in pokehouse too. ]

See you then!

[That sounds like a plan. Tsuzuki takes the time to gather the chocolate, berries and all the other ingredients they'll need for a proper cake. If she had left her journal open as she went, she'd be able to hear him hum a tune as he does. She may still catch the end of it when she arrives at 25.]

[ she musters up the guts to finally dump the cake in the rain trash. then double-bag it. THEN TRIPLE-BAG IT just in case Gold's right and it's actually alive or something.

buuut after all that's done, Platina will be over in about half an hour, knocking on the door o/ ]

[There she will be met with a smiling man in a flowery apron, holding out an even more flowery apron for her.]

There you are! I was just about to start.

[leadinglady]

[ oh whoa a genuine cooking apron!! she might be sparkling a little :V ]

Sorry, it took me a little longer than I thought, Mr. Tsuzuki. But I'm here now!

[idealism]

[That's so cute. :'D Finally someone who understands how important it is to enjoy making food. Once the apron is delivered, he makes a sweeping gesture towards the kitchen. Come in, come in!]

That's okay, it gave me time to clean up.

[leadinglady]

[ tying it up~ so she might be used to lab coats but whoa this is the genuine article, I FEEL SO MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL ALREADY. she follows him in, looking around in curious awe. ]

I hope I'm not an inconvenience!

[idealism]

[More people ought to appreciate the subtle science of baking. :D His wings flutter excitedly as he guides her straight into the kitchen, where he's been trying to line up the things they'd need. If only he had known it was her birthday, he would have piled up even MORE.]

Of course not! I'm just glad you're in the mood for baking.

[leadinglady]

[ she glances around, noticeably impressed when she enters the kitchen. well this looks a lot better than her try! so many chocolates and sweets~ ]

It's new to me, I admit. But in that case, I'm ready to learn anything!

[idealism]

In that case I can teach you the things my sister taught me.

[He flips open a cook book to find a suitable cake they can try to make. There. A chocolate spice cake.]

What do you think of this one?

[leadinglady]

[ well the picture of it is pretty tempting! :9 she eyes the recipe, as if trying to assess how difficult it would be. ]

It looks delicious. I'd like to try it!

[idealism]

What kind of special ingredients should we add to it? We've got to make it into your cake, after all.

[Helpfully, he grabs bacon, nuts and caramel. There's so much to choose from~]

[leadinglady]

Special ingredients? Hmm...

[ pondering over the bacon and caramel, but something occurs to her. ]

It's a spice cake, right? In that case, maybe we should try to put as many spices into it as possible!

[idealism]

That sounds really good. And it will be a good surprise, too!

[Don't be surprised when Tsuzuki finds allll the spices he had forgotten he had stashed away in the cupboards, like cayenne pepper and Chinese allround spice. This cake will certainly give a punch.]

[leadinglady]

It'll definitely be unique. Let's do that, then!

[ going up on tip-toes to try to reach the spice rack. ugh, being 12 13 sucks sometimes!! ]

[idealism]

Everyone knows unique cakes are best.

[At least making cakes aren't hard. Tsuzuki bends down and finds a stool for her to stand on They already had one because his partner is short, and they need to make sure he can do things by himself.]

So what made you in the mood for cake, anyway?

[leadinglady]

[ cool! withdrawing and examining all the spices with a critical eye. who says masala doesn't belong in baking! ]

Thank you. And... it's my birthday, actually. Cakes are customary!

[idealism]

[Masala kind of sounds like a cake's name, so it must be perfect to put in the topping.]

Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday? Happy birthday!

[His wings flutter excitedly, like as if a puppy suddenly isn't sure which toy to pick.]

How old are you today?

[leadinglady]

I... I suppose it just didn't come up until now. But thank you! As of today, I'm 13.

[idealism]

13? You're practically an adult. [He begins to mix the ingredients, a thoughtful look on his face.]

We should so invite to a party. I mean, we'll already have the cakes.

[leadinglady]

I'm glad you think so! But I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to organize a party...

[ haaanging around, trying to help out with anything despite being an oblivious cooking newbie. ]
