[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. ]

Okay! I know where that is! [Runs off to fetch peanutbutter!]

[bauhinia]

[ Waving to Marco's retreating back. Good luck in your mission, sir. ]

[fierybluebird]

[Soon returns with two varieties, smooth and chunky. Take your pick man.]

I also found boxed mac & cheese. I'm not sure how they do that. [Seriously. How do you box cheese?]

[bauhinia]

[ He looks from jar to jar. Hmm. ]

Which part? [ Apparently boxed cheese is very normal to him. He looks up at Marco in the midst of his deliberation. ]

[fierybluebird]

Boxed cheese. How does that work. Mind you, I've see the spray can stuff, but that's not really cheese.

[bauhinia]

Sometimes it's like that stuff. Just, y'know, in a packet instead of a can.

[fierybluebird]

That's really weird.

Like tea bags... with cheese?

[bauhinia]

[ That is really... weird to imagine. ]

Not exactly. D'you ever eat instant ramen?

[fierybluebird]

[Ikr? I kind of want someone to create it though...]

[Also, I have no idea if Marco would have or not. Oda used to work in a restaurant so One Piece is a little spoiled about food. Going with yes though, for Discedo if nothing else. /nod]

Yes. So it's like the flavor pack in that?

[bauhinia]

[ I would go for it. Cheese belongs in almost everything (though probably not actual tea). ]

Yeah, basically.

[ Makes sense he'd have had it! ]

[fierybluebird]

[IKR? But def. not tea. Soups maybe.]

I have to try this then. Is it any good?

[bauhinia]

[ Yeah, like for soups! ]

You have to work on it a little, but sure. [ Read: he'd probably... add a lot to it. ]

[fierybluebird]

I don't mind, eh. It sounds like fun.

[bauhinia]

Right? It's kinda like, a challenge.

[fierybluebird]

Oh? Now I definitely can't refuse.

[bauhinia]

Thought so. So we'll make some awesome macaroni. I'll show you.

[ He's going to have to grab a few things, like cream and crackers and a few other items. ]

[fierybluebird]

Yeah? All right, teach away little bro.

[bauhinia]

You wanna have this with our cake?

[fierybluebird]

Yes, we can have our cake and eat this too.

[Shoosh, he's enjoying his pun.]

[bauhinia]

Okay, sure. Let's eat cake.

[ And macaroni. ] I'll look for some stuff for this. [ Shaking the box of noodles a bit. ]

[fierybluebird]

Yosh.

You know if you have to add a lot to it, I think that might defeat the purpose, eh.

[bauhinia]

I'm not gonna change it. Just make it better.

[fierybluebird]

Oh? It's not that great as it is?

[bauhinia]

Right. Because I haven't gotten my hands on it.

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.]

And you're sure you'll make it better, eh?
