Week 5, Thursday - Ice Cream Party!

[withsadness]

[Who knows when they're going to have an ice cream Parlor and a working McFlurry machine in the same week ever again. Since...their numbers are going to be slimmer in the morning, Mary devised a plan! Everyone currently still playing in the Reaper Game will at some point within the earlier half of the day find themselves given a hand-drawn invitation to come have fun in Mint to Be before curfew. Even Max gets an invite, somehow! She'll make it happen.

Everything is basically normal here, except that she has spread glitter on the tables for dramatic effect (yes she's been holding onto this all month) and has posted a hand drawn sign that proudly proclaims PARTY HERE!!! So come get ice cream, share, have fun! Let's celebrate the magic of friendship and probably cry!]

[ Alex couldn't pass up a party being thrown by Mary!! But... She's also been offered pity ice cream by like 4 or 5 separate people over the course of this week, so she's kind of over ice cream. just for today. ]

You know what I could really go for, though? Pizza.

[tosa]

... What flavor is that?

(Explain. What's a pizza.)

[allsetfree]

It's not a flavor it's a - like a whole food. It's a big... Uh, bread? Cooked with tomato sauce and veggies and meat on top. And it's round, but you cut it up into slices when it's ready!

I can't imagine a life without pizza. But - oh, I guess you probably have stuff like that too, stuff that I've never heard of? [ don't want to be rude about the multiverse... ]

(He's listening and nodding along and yeah, yeah, he's getting it. A big bread with lots of sauce and vegetables and meat on it? It sounds great?! you can practically see the stars in his eyes. Where can he try one?!)

I wanna try! There's gotta be a place somewhere in this city that has it, right?!

[tosa]

Ah... maybe? Everything seems normal to me so I don't know what to think of as new for anyone else...

Ya know dango? Or what about castella?

[allsetfree]

Maybe next week!

[ hmm, she considers. those sound like words she may have passively encountered, but-- ] Nope, I've never had those.

[tosa]

It's a promise!

(Yes. Because making promises in a murder game is absolutely a great idea and nothing's going to wrong with this.)

Mmm! Dango's great. It's mochi that ya eat on a stick and it's sticky and sweat but the best part's the stick 'cause you can eat it on the go! (And that's great.) But castella! That stuff's amazing!

Nagasaki's real famous for it! It's a honey cake. The epitome of western cuisine! Every bite tastes like enlightenment!

(Guess which one's his favorite.)

[withsadness]

Pizza party! Pizza party! Pizza party!

[Maybe that can be next week. God willing.]

[allsetfree]

Yeah! [ Alex laughs. ]

It would be just like soft-ball. Pizza parties all the time.

[withsadness]

What's soft-ball?

[She doesn't know but she likes it already.]

[allsetfree]

It's like baseball.

[feminitis]

I don't know what that is, but maybe if we pool our resources, we can get the ingredients to make it...?

[Mini-mission: make a pizza for Alex!]

[allsetfree]

Oh, jeez. [ wtf that's so sweet... ] I don't know if it's worth that much effort.

[feminitis]

But if you like it, it must be delicious to start with, right? And food tastes best when you work together to make it!

[allsetfree]

I don't really know how to make it, though.

Let's see, there's... I mean, some stores carry pizza dough already made? And then there's making a red sauce with tomatoes and... S..pic...es...? [ which spices, she does not know. ] And then what goes on top is kind of, like, whatever you want, but...

Even if I had all that stuff I feel like I'd still be lost.

[lightdecrement]

[ You're in Shibuya. Do you know what kind of pizza they might serve there? ]

Maybe the next Mcdonald's will have it.

[ McPizza ]

[allsetfree]

[ i would kill some okonomiyaki tbh ]

I don't know if I would trust a Mcdonald's pizza.

[lightdecrement]

I think we have more to worry about from the kiddie toys.

[ They could secretly be a weapon.

Or maybe that's all you get with your happy meal? ]

[allsetfree]

Oh, good point. I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been any happy meal drama, yet.

... That I know of.

[warmyyarny]

If we're lucky we could get a pizza parlor next week. That and Chinese are the only foods I can think we haven't gotten yet.

[He's crossing his fingers for a Chinese restaurant, though]

[allsetfree]

Chinese food sounds sooo good. But I'm not counting on pizza... We just had that Italian place, and...

[ actually, wait. ] ... Did they serve pizza? I was so excited about pasta at the time.

[warmyyarny]

...I'm pretty sure they didn't. Do calzones count as pizza?

[allsetfree]

They're basically the same thing.

[chaoticlootral]

You get me flour, salt, sugar, some tomatoes and whatever cheese that isn't the yellow squares of shit they serve at the ol' Mickey D's, and I could make this a reality, homie.

[allsetfree]

Yeah? I'll see what I can do, then.

But, uh... My expectations aren't high on being able to get groceries.
