A Thousand Sugar Stars, Oh Put Them in a Jar (October Catch-All)

Characters: Kotori Iida [Sweet Porridge Girl], Della Duck [Icarus], Master Crane [Crane (Tsuru no Ongaeshi)], Disciple [Jekyll and Hyde], and YOU!
Campaign: Break
Format: Starting with brackets, but will match
One Open, Two Closed
Summary: Kotori comes back from a brief trip home, makes lots of tasty food with people, and wakes up at an ungodly early hour to train. (Oh, also, Hyde happens.)


A. I Looked at the World Through Apple Eyes (Closed to Della Duck and Master Crane)

[Wild and unpredictable as restoring The Little Mermaid had been, Kotori is very, VERY glad the ending turned out happy, with not a speck of mermaid-derived seafoam in sight. Coming back to the Index and seeing the city dressed in autumn colors, though… is it already close to a year since the Storyteller first brought them here? Close to a year since she last saw home… She should fix that.

So after telling a few of her closer friends and asking them to watch her place and let any other Aspects who ask know so no one panics ROXAS, she asks the Storyteller to send her home, just for a little while. By Index time, she’s only gone a few days; in Japan, it’d only been a few weeks. It was… weird being back in a completely normal world after spending a year here. Going through school, cooking more with Inuzuka-sensei and Tsumugi-chan, her mom working hard again. Shinobu had even been visiting her during lunch break lately, even if it felt a bit awkward not telling her about cooking with the Inuzukas… or this place, for that matter. The remembered it vividly for a few days, but… then started writing it off as a dream. Huh. The whole business is weird, really, like the time differences, and her feelings for…

But she can think about all that later. The Storyteller brought her back in late at night it seems, and she’s already really tired. One good thing about all her schooling being left at home is that she can sleep in as late as she wants tomorrow. …… Which, if her memories of the Index had been a little fresher, she’d remember as having scheduled a certain meeting with a certain duck. This should be interesting.]



B. And Cut Myself a Slice of Sunshine Pie (Open)

[Between this new routine of cooking sessions with the Inuzukas, her pot’s new shapeshifting ability, the pub’s brand new kitchen, and actually having a recipe collection to work with, and creating the massive feast during the ball, Kotori’s not only started getting used to cooking with other people, she’s actually starting to crave it even more than she had been. So whether she asks you herself, or you ask to come over to practice a recipe (especially for a date coming up~), from late morning to a little bit into the evening, Kotori’s available to make just about anything.

Or maybe you smelled good food inside and decided to invite yourself into this strangely cauldron-shaped pub. (Especially if it involves daikon GOBO.) Those in this category might be confused to see that the space is clean and well-kept, if rustic, there doesn't seem to be much of a crowd. In fact, the only person here is a teenage girl, in the middle of cleaning the kitchen in the back, sweeping and polishing the floors and counters up front, or sitting down at the bar for a meal for one, depending on what time of day you catch her.

Still, yes, Kotori’s door is open, so come on in, cook, and eat!]



C. I Danced with the Peanut Butterflies (Closed to Disciple)

[Of course, even with how fun these cooking lessons are, a little quite time in between is always nice. (Not to mention kitchens don’t clean themselves…) So after doing some sweeping and mopping for the day, Kotori’s sitting at the bar counter with a nice, simple dinner with a steaming bowl of nyuumen and a cup of hot green tea. Perfect for a cool, peaceful autumn day like this… ……. Okay but maybe a miniature apple charlotte after this would be nice. After seconds, of course.]

I had plenty of extra, so it's no problem. Plus I know about your circumstances, so. [A casual shrug.]

[Della scowls, arms folded over her chest.]

No, irresponsible would be letting her keep helping while being completely helpless!

[Oh, shoot, wait. She glances to Kotori with a sheepish smile and an awkward laugh.]

Not that you're completely helpless, I mean, you're... You're fine!
gobetween: (Simple smile)

Sure! What's in it?

[While he isn't at all familiar with their arrangement, even he's a bit surprised and somewhat offended by Della's choice of words. Shooting her A Look, he then hurries after Kotori.]

Hey, hold on a moment - !

Well...

[He's never one to turn down food, really.]

It does sound really good.

Mmm...

[Keith stared at the basket in thought, almost missing her question about the now three basket-loads of baked goods on the table... and then he looked at Kotori for a moment in slight surprise.]

Oh, uh... I don't think so? Why would they?

[He honestly hadn't tried...]

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-11-27 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Wow yeah, that sounds great! Thank you.

[Especially since he broke in and tried to steal one of her daikon.]

[...Hm? He thought he noticed something, but he's not sure so he doesn't comment.]

I got a variety here. Some boar, chicken, pheasant, duck, and deer.

[Soon the aroma begins to spread, and Bridge inhales deeply.]

Man, that smells even better than I thought.
noimpulsecontrol: (shocked)

[personal profile] noimpulsecontrol 2019-12-02 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's always had a gift for putting her foot in her mouth; for unintentionally insulting people; for just saying the wrong thing. It never feels any less awful when she does it, though. There's a moment where her heart seizes as Kotori walks away. She's done it again, gone and ruined everything, just like she did a few months ago with Bridge, just like she did ten years ago with her family...]

Kotori-!!

[She doesn't even hear Crane, or notice that dirty look. She's honestly forgotten he's there. She's just chasing after Kotori, a hand reaching out to grab for the girl's elbow, if she can.]

[Keith nodded. Yes, he knew Hunk... he definitely knew Hunk.]

Oh. That's uh... wow. That's pretty cool.

[Keith almost sounded amused by the idea.]

Hunk's actually a friend of mine from back home. He's a good guy.

[He smiled a little, always happy to talk about his team. They were his family.]
