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:]

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.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Measuring cups cannot contain his culinary genius! He steals a few chocolate chips.]

Those are pretty nice, though. And not everyone grows up with the same stories. Do you remember anyone in particular, Link?

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link sees the theft, and... it goes unreported as he's just stolen some too.]

I remember some! I don't think they were about food, though.

[akumanotrill]

[Just sighs a bit, these two...]

What about you, Tsuzuki? Have a favourite story?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Partners in chocolately crime.]

I don't know if I had that many food-related stories growing up. Ruka told me about the Peach boy and the rabbit in the moon and stories like that.

[blessedbyfarore]

[One day, the bakery will be cleaned out. When that happens, check house 49.]

What does a rabbit in the moon have to do with food?

[akumanotrill]

Well, the moon rabbit makes mochi up on the moon!

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Man, I miss mochi.

Dammit, guys, now I want mochi :(

[blessedbyfarore]

Mochi is that sticky rice stuff, right? [He thinks he remembers it from Tanabata.] Why would a rabbit be making it?

nommmm

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's the best kind. [He laughs lightly, putting on an apron.]

Because it was hungry!

[akumanotrill]

Well, if I remember correctly the type the moon rabbit makes is supposed to be some sort of elixir?

[blessedbyfarore]

An elixir's a medicine, right? [...Huh.] Does that mean that mochi is really good for you?

[Mixing bowl get!]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I guess. It's been a while since it was told to me. [He checks the book quickly. What were they supposed to put in the mixing bowl first?]

Well, I guess it is. But I've collected a fair few people who choked to death on them.
