Week 1, Saturday

This whole post contains a blanket CONTENT WARNING for gallows and hanging imagery.

---

[Once again, right at noon, the Contestants are invited to the studio to participate in another exciting game. The set has changed entirely since the last time they were there, with the mountain climber game replaced by a large board of some sort. Several prinnies are near it, carrying large cards with random letters written on them. It seems as though they might be helping out for this game. But there is something else off to the side too...(CW: gallows)

As always, Dazai is there, waiting on stage for everyone to sit down. He's dressed in his usual black suit getup, but his smile seems a bit forced today.

Caramel frosting...?

[He's pretty sure caramel frosting is a thing?? Really he'll eat anything this is why he ends up mooching off multiple cooks. Taste-testing is for experimentation!!]

Chocolate-covered strawberries an' chocolate cake with strawberries and caramel...

[Yeah he's starting to drool. Nice.]

But frosting uses confectioner's sugar. I'll place the caramel inside like Leonardo Watch suggested.

[ Nora, plz. Here he's just going to levitate him a non-descript red and black patterned handkerchief from somewhere. You can keep it. ]

Huh, so ya can't make caramel frosting but you can make caramel cake...?

[He sounds mildly disappointed as he blinks at the handkerchief, accepting it but then also staring at it because what do you want him to do with it. Hmm. Still salivating in the meantime:]

That cake sounds pretty good on its own, though. I'd try that, too!

Yes, caramel frosting would simply be caramel drizzle. Caramel has a certain consistency and is heated for it to undergo the Mallard reaction, while frosting is typically a mix of confectionery sugar and flavoring which is simply mixed.

[ ...well he would point out the whole drooling thing to Nora but he feels like it would be pointless so. Guess he's making a small looping motion with his finger to wipe Nora's mouth for him with the handkerchief. ]

Ah, and I'll add the sprinkles on top. Should they be rainbow or chocolate?

... So ya can't make caramel frosting even with magic.

[All of that flew completely over his head with the most amazing whistling noise but the important part is that there will be cake, and Nora is focusing on that, okay. There's a blink when the handkerchief moves and then he finally reaches up and starts scrubbing.

For the moment he doesn't question the matter of the handkerchief, still too distracted by foodstuffs.]

Sprinkles have gotta be rainbow. They taste better that way.

[personal profile] visionem 2019-06-30 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Correct.

[ Ah good, no more magical cleaning needed. ]

Then why do they make chocolate?
houndumb: (047)

[personal profile] houndumb 2019-06-30 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...

[Scrub-a-dub-dub. Once he's done he stares at the handkerchief some more and then squints at Alcor. The coloring scheme is awfully familiar... What is he supposed to do with this now. He sort of just shakes it out and squints at it some more before shrugging and holding it out to Alcor. Color schemes go to color scheme owners or whatever.

(Nora no one wants this.)]

Chocolate's for if there's less chocolate in the cake. Duh.

[ No one does want this; the handkerchief levitates forward a foot or so from Nora's hand and then bursts into flame. May it rest in peace. ]

Then why does chocolate-chocolate flavor exist?

[personal profile] houndumb 2019-06-30 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He blinks and then snickers; that's one way to get rid of your laundry and honestly he should try that -- he may have done that with a Foundation jumpsuit or two just because even for the most ridiculous of army brats it's kind of a terrible uniform, and also it clashes with his everything??

But more importantly:]

Chocolate-chocolate's good too. That's for if ya really want chocolate at all costs.

Kinda like a chocolate bomb.

[Does that even make sense. He's probably just pulling this out his ass but also he'd eat that too anyway so maybe it's moot.]

[ Will this be another disastrous attempt at haphazard bomb making in our future. ]

A chocolate bomb...like truffles? I tasted one once in the aftermath of Valentine's Day.
houndumb: (047)

[personal profile] houndumb 2019-06-30 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[All Chaotic pileups must come with bombs this is The Law??]

Ain't truffles just a bunch of chocolate layers and stuff. I dunno, but they taste pretty good, so I'm goin' to say it works. [a moment of thought] Valentine's Day's that chocolate holiday, huh...

[And then he wrinkles his nose.]

Her Hagliness was always extra freakin' annoying around that time of year.

[ He nods to the description; it's close enough albeit Nora'fied. ]

Yes, where females give chocolates to express their desire to begin or continue courtship.

[ ftr alcor totally knows how to describe this in a normal way, but this is just the Alcor way. ]

Her Hagliness? Another demon?
houndumb: (018)

[personal profile] houndumb 2019-07-01 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Nora is satisfied with his Nora'fied descriptions, because the Alcor elaborations just make him make an even more terrible face.]

BLEH, yeah, soon as we got around to that time of year she'd start skipping out on work to go buy way too much demon an' human chocolates, and then force them on everybody in headquarters or start matchmaking people! EXCEPT ME 'cause some stupid nonsense about dogs not eating chocolate!!!

[He is probably just extra salty about the lack of chocolates here. Grump. Also:]

Her Hagliness, the worst, the ugliest, that stupid ol' croney Satan!

[Alcor may have heard variations of one or two of these descriptions before. Poor Satanmom (mild nsfw) doesn't deserve this.]

How discriminatory of her. I know there is a human saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but I wonder if the same goes for demons as well. I must admit I do not find the Satan of my world visually appealing...

[ He is theoretically on board for this? Let demon dogs have chocolate what could go wrong. ]
houndumb: (014)

[personal profile] houndumb 2019-07-01 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, right, that stupid human saying, it doesn't even matter that much with demons 'cause most of us have different forms anyway? The ol' hag is pretty ugly in both forms, though! An' her personality is even uglier. She'll chatter on for hours and hours about nothing important and then get mad if you're not listening!!

[His cheeks are all puffed out now and that was all in practically one breath, this is obviously an extremely common and well-worn complaint to the point where he barely has to think about it anymore.]

I bet your Satan can't be worse than that Satan no matter what they look like!!

[Grumble, grumble. LET HIM HAVE CHOCO.]

[ Nora that's almost adorable. ]

I would have to meet her to confirm, but the Satan of my world resembles a mutant blue fish, or so others have said. But he is not particularly long winded unless the subject of God is broached. Ah, and I am sure he would procure chocolate for you if you paid him.
