I've got to say, I've really no idea what is happening with you right now, but it's really making this much less boring.

[Just? Watching him do this?]

[sengokus]

[he's just being a disaster

but also wow

that's spicy. he regrets this immediately even as he's definitely turning red]

H-How much spice did you put...?! Why did you do this? Why did I do this?!

[headmt]

Sorry . . . ? I didn't know you'd just put anything in your mouth.

[He doesn't seem that sorry? Holding his hands for the spicy pudding. He wants to try it too now?]

[sengokus]

[he hands it over and then goes to casually (not at all casually) get some water..... he's coughing...]

My body moved before my brain could react....

[this is true for so many things he does]

[headmt]

[He eats some! Just to be fair.]

You're right, this one really is terrible!

[sengokus]

Ahhh, it's so hot - and something like that shouldn't be mixed with the sweetness and decadence of pudding...!

[but he'll offer molly some water anyway]

.... you take spice a lot better than I do, though...

[impressive....]

[headmt]

Maybe I do taste things differently!

[Or he's not having a mental breakdown about loving pudding at the same time. He will take the water though, offering it in a sort of cheers! Motion before downing it.]

Alright, what next?

[sengokus]

Oh... you wanted ramen, right?

[at least he's slowly recovering]

It's like - a soup with noodles! And a bunch of other stuff, but I can add that in. Fresh veggies, none of the weird rotting bits in the fridge.

And then you owe me a story!

[headmt]

Please nothing rotting. I’m not wasting a day puking my guts up here, it does really put a damper on things.

[Going to just sit and wait to be served then?]

And you’re right. Is the story up to me, or do you have a theme that you’d enjoy?

[sengokus]

[molly can go ahead and chill out while mineo tries to slice up scallions with a butter knife - the slices aren't pretty but he's at least strong enough to get the job done]

Hmmm, do you have a Greatest Hits collection?

[headmt]

[If he hadn’t given away his knife, he’d let him borrow it. As it is . . . have fun with the butter knife bud. Sorry.]

Actually, I have a bit of a game if you’re interested.

[sengokus]

[omi please share the community knife - but at least mineo has at least been doing this enough he's not super complaining about the butter knife]

Huh? Oh, sure!

What're the rules?

[don't just agree without knowing what you're agreeing to hello]

[headmt]

I’ll put down three cards, each one related to a story I have, and then you pick the card.

[Don’t worry it’s not a terrible game. Just a little funsies.]

[sengokus]

Sounds good to me.

Are cards part of your hobbies too? Like fortune telling?

[headmt]

Just something that’s easy to carry around.

Here’s the thing - two of the stories are going to be a lie, and one is going to be true.

[sengokus]

Aw man, come on! I don't have a history of good luck!

[he's just whining, ignore him]

[headmt]

You’re just whining. It’ll be fun. Besides, I could have just lied without telling you I was lying. Now you have a chance for something to be truthful! Personally, I think this is much more interesting.

[sengokus]

... is that just a trend here? Me being grateful for people telling me that they're probably going to lie to me?

[hmmmm

but he at least otherwise seems to be a good sport about it, shaking his head. seems harmless enough.]

Alright, alright - but I better be getting a good story no matter whether it's true or false!

[this is now dinner and a show]

[headmt]

All of my stories are good!

[Aw.]

Would you like me to even the odds then? Just two cards, because I feel a bit bad for you.

[sengokus]

[SLKJDFLKJDF he's just STRAIGHTENING UP]

No! Make it three! I don't want pity odds!

[headmt]

[Grinning, very much like that’s what he was hoping he’d say.]

Okay okay!

[Anyway, just waiting, fiddling with the phone while he does. He still doesn’t really know how to use this thing, but there’s not much else to do.]

[sengokus]

[mineo working against himself....

but at least instant ramen is pretty easy - even though he's obviously making it gourmet. he prepares two bowls - and honestly it looks pretty good? think shrimp instant ramen but with scallions, onions, ginger, an egg, and some bell pepper!

as he's sliding it over, he seems to remember - ]

Oh hey, did White-san borrow your phone the other day?

[headmt]

[Oh!!!! Looking very excited about this food, tail swishing, about to just start - honestly he barely looks up at the mention of the phone thing.]

Oh. Yes. Unless he said really fun things about me, then no, it was me.

[sengokus]

I think it would've been more fun to get fun things about you. Instead I just got a phishing scheme.

[but even mineo won't send money to a nigerian prince so]

Tell me how you think the ramen is! Chef Enomoto Mineo's Gourmet Luxury Deluxe Ultra Special Ramen...!

[stop]

[headmt]

Oh. That’s disappointing. He told someone else I was an emperor.

[Okay! Here we go. He perks up immediately once he starts, and I’m sorry but he’s definitely just using a fork or something like a horrible pleb, or frankly just lifting the bowl and not bothering with utensils. Really pleased though!!!!!]

Fantastic! Every new food is better than the last! Except the spicy pudding. That was a mistake. But it does make this seem even more wonderful in comparison.
