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. ]

[But then he gets distracted.]

...Cake? What kind of cake did you try to make?

[leadinglady]

I feel the same way. But about the cake...

[ she holds up a cookbook for strawberry chiffon >8| ]

This one! I followed the instructions almost exactly!

[idealism]

Psha! Everyone knows that if you want to make a great cake you can't follow the recipe. It looks really good, though.

[leadinglady]

How strange! Then what is the recipe even for?

[ toootally confusing his compliment and looking skeptically at her own cake. ]

And... thank you, I guess. Even if it doesn't look anything like it's supposed to.

[idealism]

Inspiration!

[He was originally referring to the cookbook version, but she can take it as a compliment on hers, as well. XD ...Even though he's slightly shocked at how badly her attempt went.]

Hmm, maybe some whipped cream and strawberries will fix that. Do you like baking?

[leadinglady]

I'll need to get some, then!

And I've never tried baking before. But that's exactly why I am now! The only way to learn is through personal experience, after all!

[idealism]

That's the spirit. You might be a future master chef. All you need is some practice!

[leadinglady]

A future master chef...! Do you really think so?

[idealism]

You can be anything you want, as long as you put your mind to it.

What did you say your name was?

[leadinglady]

Then I definitely will.

Ah, I'm sorry! I'm Platina Berlitz. It's nice to meet you, sir.

[idealism]

Maybe you should try something with chocolate next time? Chocolate is easy to work with.

I'm Tsuzuki. Nice to meet you, Platina!

[leadinglady]

Is it really? Are you good at baking, Mr. Tsuzuki?

[idealism]

Yes. It's one of my hobbies. I really like mixing flavors to make it taste better.


[Run, Platina, run. :|]

[leadinglady]

That's something you could do? I never knew that!

[ CHEERFULLY OBLIVIOUS 8D/ ]

[idealism]

Yeah! That way you might end up with a fantastic cake. Like--like--cheesecake with raspberries!

[Oh boy, they'll end up making weapons of mass destruction. :|a]

[leadinglady]

Fascinating! It sounds delicious. I'd love to try to make it!

[ the kitchen will be our war zone!! ]

[idealism]

And garlic-and-chocolate-buns. Those are tricky.

[We'll take no prisoners! ...Okay, just a few. They'll need a few test-tasters, after all.]

[leadinglady]

Tricky? Maybe you'd like a sous-chef to help, then?

[ SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. goodbye taste buds i knew you well~ ]

[idealism]

Yes, please.

[Here's to hoping they won't burn the place down in the process.]

I live in 25, if you ever feel like making something.

[leadinglady]

Could I possibly visit today? I'm... in the mood for cake, I suppose.

[idealism]

Of course! I just have to check the cupboards to see if I have everything we need, but I think that we're all set.

...You know, maybe we should make a big one. That way we can share it with people.

[leadinglady]

A big one would be nice! I don't think anyone would object to cake, after all.

[idealism]

I know of one guy who would say no to cake, but that's because he's strange.

[But! That's beside the point.]

I'll leave the door open, okay? Feel free to go straight in.

[leadinglady]

That does sound a little odd. But, thank you! I'll be there soon after I dispose of this!

[ glancing sheepishly at the cake, before turning off the feed o/ ]

[idealism]

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.]
