WEEK 4 - VENUS FLYTRAP

[foundationmods]

Another week dawned.

But after the events at the trial, more than a few people would have wanted for time to stop still.

In this game, even unshakable loyalties....could be broken.🗈

If that were the case, then what was stopping even more horrible crimes from happening this thursday night?
And they knew they could do nothing to stop it from happening.

...Still, they had to continue the game, until one or both of the Witches admitted defeat, or the game itself came to a close.

Yet, they also felt as if something might change. Some big reveal felt as if it was just around the corner....but for now, it seemed as if they had to play the waiting game.

No matter how awful that felt.

[It's not like he knows anything about this cake so now it's just the blind leading the blind thanks. Anon does perk up a little, looking bemused as he presumably rifles around in his limited stores of human trivia--]

Ah! That's the super red holiday, I've heard about it. It never really made much sense to me, but I hear there's just a lot of candy? So having a red velvet cake for it seems like something humans would do.

[And he perks up a little more yet at the immediate prospect of exploring this; it takes him a little longer to gather himself and then bounce up onto his heels, all ready to go. There are no misgivings here -- why wouldn't he want to eat all the things with Natsuno when they've just planned enough menus for the next zillion years?]

Mmhmm, a lot of chocolate. [ He settles into a small smile as he stands, taking a moment to stretch. Partway through he not so sneakily gives Anon a little push, just in retaliation for earlier. It's all done very purposely, but what is coincidental is how their hands brush at some point in the middle. Similarly, how his heartbeat increased just then is surely happenstance.

Not lingering on it, they have food to eat. ]

Maybe we can have hot chocolate with the velvet cake to fit the whole theme.

[There's a laugh in response at the not-terribly-sneaky push, and Anon does an exaggerated little hop-dance to keep his balance just because; everything is warm now and somehow hard to capture, like Natsuno's hand and the strange, momentary recollection from other trivia (vampire) that he should be cold, instead.

But then, Natsuno's never really been most vampires, and Anon's much more interested in learning from the source (or just in learning Natsuno, but that's neither here nor there).]

Of course I don't mind adding chocolate! But you really do have a sweet tooth, huh, Koide?

[That's entirely teasing as he starts leading the way to the kitchen, steps relaxed and meandering. It's wholly indulgent to go mess around with cake right now, but then again, that's what they're all about.

It's a good start.]

[sotoshini]

No. If we spent this long talking about natto I'd probably want that too, and it's gross. [ Insistent here, even if Natsuno is pretty much wrong. It's more accurate to say he had a situational sweetooth as a human that's only been further incentivized by his jinrou tastebuds. But it's much, much, easier to just deny this and then eat several slices of cake.

And that's exactly his plan as he follows behind Anon with a drawn out huff. He might actually just develop one after enjoying the cake and hot chocolate more than he thought he would—food tastes better in good company, but that connection will be lost on him. ]

[anonnomnomnom]

[Anon just throws him a silly grin over his shoulder, just a wee bit knowing even if he doesn't even know what natto is?? Natsuno being all huffy is enough context here and it's just funny to see him get all defensive over food when a little while ago he was entirely on board with eating whole dragons, OK??]

It can't be that gross if you'd still eat it. Maybe we'll have to test that sometime.

[And that's just him being a little shit, but he's allowed when they are definitely headed towards sweets anyway. (And he would do it anyway, to be fair.)]
