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:]

[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.

[akumanotrill]

It's sort of medicine. At least the ones the moon rabbit makes is. Ordinary mochi is really just a dessert.

Eh? Really? Choked to death? ... that's a terrible way to go...

And suddenly I am no longer craving mochi XD

[blessedbyfarore]

They were killed by food?

[FOOD, Y U DO DIS D:]
