cakelover | first cake. VIDEO.

[ The video feed is flicked on to a moving scene. Some ground, a shot of sky - okay, give him a moment. After a second the gear is turned to view Honey's beaming face; he appears to be hanging off the back of a Kangaskhan, who seems to be tolerating his monkey-like antics with all the patience of a doting mother. In the absence of a baby, she appears to have decided her new trainer more or less fits the bill. Of note are the bright pink scarves they're wearing; Kan-chan's is tied in a bow. ]

Ne, ne, Kan-chan! Smile for the camera!! Big and wiiiide! [ Kan-chan will flash her teeth to appease her tiny charge as he moves the gear closer to her, why not. He is so enthusiastic. She is the best mother. ] That's it! A first impression is important, right?

[ Honey has yet to drop the light, playful tone of voice, but he'll get to a slightly more serious note now. Kind of. He heaves a bit of sigh, dramatic in a practiced sort of way. ] Ahhhhhhhn, I don't recall going anywhere...did Tama-chan plan something without saying? No one seems to know! And no one's numbers are listed here, although I tried them all! Takashi will be worried, you know, I was supposed to meet up with him after class...Kan-chan, there was going to be cake...!

[ And that, of course, is the moment where he switches from light and breezy to legitimately put out. His priorities. ] And now there isn't any cake, it's sad, right? [ There, there. While Honey mopes on her back, the Kangaskhan pats his head gently. After a second of sulking, Honey's back to being cheerful, and finally winds down to what he probably ought to have started with. ] Takashi...! Tama-chaaaan, Kyo-chan, Haru Hika Kao-channnnn, Reikooooo-chan! Can you hear me? Kan-chan and I would like an answer! Ah, I lost Bun-Bun, too...He wasn't here when I got here. Today is an Bun-Bun day, too...

Well, we'll go see if there's a shop with cakes. Kan-chan, you want one, right? We'll savor them properly and wait for everyone else to call us! Onward!! [ ...He's apparently not getting off of her back, he's just going to let her tote him around. And apparently Kan-chan is allowing this, since they start to move as Honey shuts off the gear. ]

So what if it's cake?? With a strawberry on top!

[ PEEEEEEERING AT THE SCREEN. ]

[He's so squinting at you.]

Is it good cake?

All cake is good cake!!

[ He actually sounds offended. ]

....I don't think you'd say that if you met the cake a couple of my cousins made. I think half their house got violently sick.

...How terrible!! That poor cake!!

Not the reaction that most people have but yeah pretty much.

Ohhhh? What reaction do most people have, Obi-chan?

Usually it's 'those poor relatives' but I think I like yours better.

Cake should be properly cooked and enjoyed...! It's sad if it's ruined like that.

Not everyone knows how to cook though Mitsukuni.

I've never really cooked except when Haru-chan had us try, really...but cake should be sweet, not burnt!

Eh? I never said they burned it.

What did they do to it, then?

It just made everyone sick. It was still sweet from what I heard.

[ ...Hm. He can't decide...if it was still sweet, that would be worth trying, right? Even if you got sick...? ]

...If it was sweet, maybe it tasted okay...

Before it acted like a minor poison?

Right, before that!!

I think most people don't like that part.

Yeah...that part's sad!!

Hey, Obi-chan, are you in Kanto or Johto?

Right now I'm in Johto, why?

Oh, so I guess we won't meet...well, that's too bad! Next time, for sure, we'll eat cake together~!

[ because clearly they're friends now...?

His mind is a mysterious place. ]

You'll probably have to bring it, but okay.

Sure, I'll bring it! It'll be fun, you'll see~!

Alright, then I suppose I'll see you then, eh Mitsukuni?

Right~! Definitely we have to keep in touch!
