[fourteenth fragrance] backdated video; August 9th

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong has his comm set up for a completely intentional, confessional style video. He's not wandering around or flicking things into buckets of water or filming himself blowing something up. Well, he ought to do that eventually, but not today. ]

So, hey. I didn't realize it yesterday because of all the celebrating and stuff, but it looks like it's been a year since I got here. Doesn't really feel like it. I mean, I seriously never thought I was gonna be here for that long.

Even though it's not that long, I guess. Anyway, I'm just posting this because I kinda wanted to say thanks to everyone. I know this place is like, super ridiculous sometimes, but there's a lotta people who work hard to make it better for us.

So, thanks.

And don't laugh, okay? I'm being serious here.

[ With that, he looks aside, seeming kind of embarrassed. He then ends the feed. ]

It's no big deal, really. [ He steps over to the stove again, looking into the pot. ] Okay, take it off the heat and keep stirring while you pour it in the mold.

[flourisher]

Okay.

( she takes it off without using anything regardless of the fact that it's burning hot. she seems unphased by it however.

yuki stirs it and then looks around for the ice molds and then pours into them. )

Oh that wouldn't be very nice of me if I didn't at least give you some. Or would you like something else?

[bauhinia]

Hey, if you really wanna do something, hang out here a little while longer, yeah? Some people are coming over. [ He says this while watching her closely. The pan thing doesn't seem to worry him too, too much, though he is... kind of intrigued. ]

[flourisher]

Uh....if that's what you want.

( once the molds are filled, she sets aside the pan and stares at the filled molds. )

Pretty much done right?

[bauhinia]

Yeah, sure. It'll be fun.

[ He nods his approval at the molds, then gestures for her to put the pan in the sink. ]

I'll clean up while this sets. D'you want some tea?

[flourisher]

No thank you.

( she bows her head slightly. )

I-I don't care for tea to be honest. Please don't be mad, my step-father from when I was human, made horrible tea and since then I've avoided it.

[bauhinia]

That's fine. I mean, I'll tell you, my tea's pretty great, so if you did want some, that'd be cool. But if you don't, d'you want something else to drink?

[flourisher]

Um...

I'll drink your tea please.

( did she mess up again? oh well time to fix it up by drinking human stuff all over again. she could put in a blood tablet without him noticing to make it more attractive to her. )

[bauhinia]

Okay, sure. If you want, you can go sit in the living room for a little while?

[flourisher]

Alright then.

( yuki walks off to the living room and sits on the far corner of the couch (or whatever he has idk), and sits straight up and has her hands folded on her lap. she sits there quietly and stares straight ahead and thinks. )

[bauhinia]

[ He'll only be a little while, but when he comes back, he has some cookies and tea on a tray. He sets that on the coffee table in the middle of the room. ]

Here you go.

[flourisher]

( she looks down at the trays and takes the tea. )

Thank you very much.

( and when she thinks he isn't looking she drops in a blood tablet. )

[bauhinia]

[ He's got his eye on her. ]

No problem. If you want anything else, lemme know.

[flourisher]

Oh no this is too much already!! I haven't even done anything for you and you barely even know me!!

[bauhinia]

It's okay. This isn't any trouble or anything, yeah? So don't worry.

[flourisher]

You act just like someone back home, in my world!

( she drinks all of the tea and chuckles. )

You're very nice, thank you so much.

[bauhinia]

I hope that's a good thing.

[ He smiles just a little. ] It's okay, yeah? We've gotta help each other out here.

[flourisher]

Of course it is.

Um well I suppose, it all depends of course.

[bauhinia]

Depends on what?

[flourisher]

I mean if it's someone mean or such I wouldn't help them with the basics. I'd only help them if their life was in danger.

[bauhinia]

I think some people are prone to being mean when they first get here.
