Fuda # 26 | [video] The cake is not a lie.

[idealism]

[The feed begins shakily, because Tsuzuki is trying to use it has a camcorder.]Be careful with him. He's still just a baby.

[Hisoka sounds exasperated, flipping a page in his book. Tsuzuki lifts his journal so he comes into focus: one of Hisoka's wings is clearly missing.] Tsuzuki, all cats land on their feet.


Are you sure? I mean, what if it's -





[Tsuzuki jumps out of his chair, putting his journal down briskly. From the camera's view, it looks like the world is turned upside down.] Poor Cake!

[The kitten is nowhere in sight. A confused mewling comes from beneath the couch. Why did the ground try to swallow him, humans? D:]

Comments

[akumanotrill]

... I really don't think that would happen, Tsuzuki... [not that he doesn't think Cake is cute]

[Tsuzuki takes out cinnamon and sugar from the cupboard.]

I know, but... I'd like everyone to be safe.

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link's expression softens a little.] We'll all look out for each other, okay? And there's lots of other people in the village who help others, too.

[akumanotrill]

Yeah, we'll be fine. Don't worry so much, Tsuzuki!

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I'll phwy moth two.

[The reason he's sounding so weird is because he found some spare cookies in the cupboard, and of course, needed to eat them right away.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[He found cookies and isn't sharing? Tsu-zu-ki!]

[...BRB, stealing cookie.] Anyway, I bet Cake could run away and hide under the cupboard if anyone tried to steal him. [...Nom.]

[akumanotrill]

[laughs] I think you might be more afraid of them stealing your cookies, Tsuzuki!

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[He yelps indignantly when he's too late to save the cookies from Link's quick hands.]

Well, that would be horrible. Think about the poor cookies' feelings.

[Completely lacking in self-awareness, he takes another bite of the cookie he'd been holding.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[It was only one!]

[...Okay, maybe two. Uhm.]

Do you think cookies like being eaten?

[akumanotrill]

[just laughs at the two of them]

Well, that is kind of their purpose in life?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[His chewing slows as he thinks about that idea.]

They're spreading joy and sugar through the world. I wish my purpose in life was that positive.

[blessedbyfarore]

That's a pretty good purpose. [Munch munch munch... oh, it's gone.]

...Should we start cooking? Then we'll have more good things to eat!

[akumanotrill]

But then you'd be eaten!

Sure!

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Not if I run fast enough!

[He pulls out his favorite cook book and offers it to Link. There's several bookmarks in it, and they're all marking pages featuring with cakes and cookies and no one is surprised. He ruffles Link's hair.] Sure! Let's cook.

[blessedbyfarore]

[Ooh, so much delicious. Ducking the hair ruffle, he swats at Tsuzuki's hand affectionately with a bookmark, pointing to the page he just opened it to.] How about this one? We'll need...

[Lots of ingredients!]

[akumanotrill]

Like the Gingerbread Man?

[and starts looking for said ingredients]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

The gingerbread man?

[Here's one! He offers the butter.]

[blessedbyfarore]

Can gingerbread men run? I thought they were made of food.

[Ha! The most important ingredient - sugar!]

[akumanotrill]

[laughs] No. It's a fairy tale. It's about a gingerbread man that came to life and he had to run away from all the people and animals who wanted to eat him!

[and here's some flour]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Not to mention vanilla!]

Did he get away?

[blessedbyfarore]

[Milk! Not Lon Lon, but it'll do.]

I guess it would be bad if people wanted to eat you, huh?

[akumanotrill]

Hmm... I can't remember. I read about it a long time ago.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I like tales like that. Did you two grow up with any other stories?

[He gets the measuring cups, although he has a mild distaste for their existence. Real cooks are supposed to use their intuition only.]

[blessedbyfarore]

I know some of them! Saria used to tell them.

[Tsuzuki you will use the measuring cup. Also, chocolate chips. Who knows if the recipe calls for them?]

[akumanotrill]

Like that? You mean about food? Well, the usual fairy tales.
