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!]

[This is too cute, wtf. Seizaburo hasn't actually worked up the nerve to eat from the ice cream parlor until now, but this seems fine... so, time to taste a scoop of the reddish-brown stuff.]

...oh! It tastes like azuki beans!

[DELICIOUS.]

Everyone, come try this!

[shinssin]

[Here is Assassin eating a very tall strawberry parfait.]

I'll let you try mine if you let me try yours!

[But before you can accept, he's reaching out to get a scoop of your ice cream anyway...]

[feminitis]

Oh, s—

[and assassin is already going for it

well. seizaburo will counter by going for a scoop of his strawberry parfait!]

Hah!

[conquerorofwaves]

Well - hey!

[Sinbad exclaims as Assassin reaches for his lemon and rosewater sorbet. Of course it'll be tart, but there's a sweet, floral taste to keep it from being too sour]

...You could've waited to see if I said yes first.

[ He has a mickey mouse shaped ice cream sundae with strawberries and chocolate syrup. Instead of eating it, he seems to be spacing out. Staring off at nothing in particular, while jabbing at the ice cream.

Bug him? He'll eventually snap out of it in a moment. ]

A. Dogs Eating Lemons Compilation

(Mutsu is helping himself to one of the Spark Lemon Sundae because of course he hecking is. Did you expect him to settle for a basic ice cream flavor when he has a whole sundae menu in front of his face? Nah.

He'll take one bite of it and all's good and fine until--

This was a mistake.)

B. Important Poll

Hey, hey, hey! What's your favorite flavor so far?

(He needs to try something else after that lemon disaster.)

[ 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]

Which one?

(He's a child in a candy shop. Or an ice cream shop, rather. But look, he's already sticking a spoon in Seizaburo's ice cream while shoving his own over towards him. Look, it's chocolate.)

[tosa]

... What flavor is that?

(Explain. What's a pizza.)

[withsadness]

Pizza party! Pizza party! Pizza party!

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

[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... ]

[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.]

1/2

[tosa]

(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?!

a.

[lightdecrement]

[ There's a chocolate disc in his mouth when he sees Mutsu.

Nearly spitting it out as he laughs at him. Thanks for being an amusement dispenser. ]

[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]

It's like baseball.

[shinssin]

Oh! Nice one!

[He can't even be mad, yo.]

Hey, what is this?

[He says as he EATS IT ANYWAY.]

[allsetfree]

Maybe next week!

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

[feminitis]

This one. Here, here!

[Holds out a little cup of azuki ice cream!! ...and the spoon stabs it. Fine, time to sneak a taste of his chocolate!

...

hot damn]

Mutsunokami-san! This is so good! Is all of the food from the future like this?

[feminitis]

Azuki bean! ...and I think the green one is green tea?

[It is, in fact, green tea. And not mint.]

I didn't realize they could make ice cream out of this...! Shibuya is full of wonders, isn't it? Do you think the people who live here eat this every day?

[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.

[tosa]

(Why are you like this, Vanitas? Mutsu looks up when he's laughed at and just

do you see this face, Vanitas? It's a kicked puppy. He's an actual kicked puppy.)

[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!
